AROUND 50 AND FALL LITTLE TONIGHT...INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 40S.

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM EST MON DEC 15 2014

BLOCKY PATTN ALOFT IN CONCERT W/HEADACHE INDUCING DIRTY RIDGE
FINALLY ON THE WAY OUT THIS PD AS POTENT CYCLONE OVR NW MO EJECTS

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM EST MON DEC 15 2014

...LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...THEN DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE MAY BRING LIGHT SNOW FOR THE
WEEKEND....

A VERTICALLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED OVER LAKE HURON
WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD INTO SOUTHERN ONTARIO TUESDAY NIGHT.
MEANWHILE...SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY DRIFT INTO THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES THROUGH FRIDAY WITH ANOTHER SHORTWAVE/UPPER LEVEL LOW
LINGERING ALOFT. IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW...CAA ON WEST-NORTHWEST
WINDS WILL INTRODUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW/RAIN
SHOWERS IN WNW WIND FAVORED AREAS...MAINLY FAR SW LOWER MI/NW
INDIANA. NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT HOWEVER...AS MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY ARE LACKING. WITH LAKE TEMPS AROUND 4-5C...700MB
DELTA TS STRUGGLE TO REACH 15C BY 12Z WEDNESDAY...AND THETA E LAPSE
RATES ARE FAIRLY PALTRY. SUBSIDENCE FROM THE INCOMING HIGH PRESSURE
WILL ALSO LIMIT CONVECTIVE DEPTH...WITH THE SUBSEQUENT INVERSION
DROPPING TO AROUND 875MB BY WEDNESDAY AM. THE INCOMING DRIER AIRMASS
WILL ALSO LEAVE US WITH A RATHER UNHEALTHY DGZ...WITH RH LESS THAN
20 PERCENT WITHIN THE -12 TO -18C LAYER. EARLY IN THE
EVENING...EXPECT A BIT OF MIXED PRECIPITATION...AS SFC TEMPS ARE
ABOVE FREEZING. AS DRYING TREND INCREASES ALOFT...WE COULD EVEN SEE
A BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEZING DRIZZLE. BY 6Z HOWEVER...ALL
PRECIPITATION SHOULD TRANSITION TO SNOW AS SFC TEMPS DROP BELOW
FREEZING. KEPT MARGINAL POPS IN WNW WIND FAVORED AREAS...GENERALLY
FLURRIES TO LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS.

THOUGH HIGH PRESSURE IS INCOMING...EXPECT PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES TO LINGER WEDNESDAY AS MOISTURE IS ONCE AGAIN TRAPPED BENEATH
THE SUBSIDENCE INVERSION. LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS IN THE NORTHWEST ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT WILL
ALSO BRING A FEW WEAK SHORTWAVES ACROSS THE CWA...WHICH WILL SERVE
TO LIFT INVERSION HEIGHTS TO NEAR 800 MB AT TIMES. HIGH TEMPERATURES
RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL FOR DECEMBER...PRIMARILY IN THE 30S.

SNOW SHOWERS WILL PERSIST NEAR LAKE MI INTO THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH
THE 500MB FLOW BECOMING RELATIVELY ZONAL...BUT AS THE UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD IN OVERHEAD...TEMPERATURES ALOFT BEGIN TO
WARM. ENDED ALL POPS BY 00Z FRIDAY AS A RESULT.

SFC LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING IN THE GULF STATES WITH A DEEP UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH CENTERED OVER THE PLAINS WILL BEGIN TO LIFT
NORTHEASTWARD SATURDAY. BOTH THE ECMWF/GFS BRING THE CENTER OF THE
LOW INTO VIRGINIA/WEST VIRGINIA BY 00Z SUNDAY...HOWEVER THEY DIFFER
WITH RESPECT TO THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DEVELOPING INTO A CLOSED LOW.
THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING CHANCES FOR SNOW OVER THE WEEKEND. GFS IS
MORE PROGRESSIVE AND BRINGS THE PRECIPITATION INTO OUR CWA BY
SATURDAY 12Z...BUT THE ECMWF LINGERS BACK BY ABOUT 6-12 HOURS. KEPT
CONSENSUS POPS FOR NOW. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SOMETHING TO WATCH...AS
WE COULD SEE A RAIN/SNOW MIX DURING THIS PERIOD. WITH THE LATEST
MODEL TRENDS KEEPING US IN THE COLDER AIR BEHIND THE SYSTEM...KEPT
TEMPS RIGHT AROUND FREEZING FOR NOW...AND KEPT SNOW AS THE P-TYPE.
MONDAY WILL BE RELATIVELY QUIET AS HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS TO THE AREA.
