AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
934 PM EST WED JAN 22 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 933 PM EST WED JAN 22 2014

WV IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS...AND SFC OBS INDICATED THAT THE
MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW AND SFC LOW HAD MOVED INTO NW LOWER MICHIGAN.
THE DEEP MOISTURE...LIFT AND CIRCULATION AROUND THE LOW BRINGING
LIGHT SNOW TO THE REGION COMBINED WITH THE VERY STRONG NRLY FLOW
ACROSS THE PARTIALLY FROZEN WRN LAKE WAS ENOUGH TO PRODUCE MODERATE
TO HEAVY LES. AMOUNTS WOULD LIKELY HAVE BEEN EVEN GREATER WITHOUT
THE EXTENSIVE ICE COVER. A HEAVIER LES BAND ASSOCIATED WITH THE
CIRCULATION AROUND THE MESO-LOW OVER SOUTH CNTRL LAKE SUPERIOR WAS
ALSO MOVING INTO THE NRN KEWEENAW PENINSULA. HIGH RES MODELS SUGGEST
THAT THIS FEATURE WILL ALSO DROP TO THE SOUTH THROUGH BARAGA AND
MARQUETTE COUNTIES BTWN 05Z-09Z BRINGING A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW WITH
(1 TO 2 INCH PER HOUR SNOW RATES) ALONG WITH A SHARP INCREASE IN
NORTH WINDS AND BLSN. SINCE THE BAND SHOULD BE MORE
TRANSIENT...OVERALL SNOW TOTALS WILL BE LIMITED.

LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORIES WERE UPGRADED TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW
WARNINGS OVER GOGEBIC AND ONTONAGON COUNTIES WHERE SNOW REPORTS
RANGED FROM 2-4 INCHES AT IRONWOOD TO 5-6 INCHES AT ROCKLAND. THE
MAJORITY OF THE SNOW HAS FALLEN SINCE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. IN
ADDITION...GUSTY NORTH WINDS HAVE DROPPED VSBY AOB 1/4SM IN MANY
LOCATIONS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE MORE EXPOSED TERRAIN IN THE
KEWEENAW.
&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 440 PM EST WED JAN 22 2014(TONIGHT AND THURSDAY)

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN LATE THIS AFTERNOON
WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT SINKS SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES BY THURSDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL
ALSO MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS...REACHING THE
CENTRAL PLAINS BY THURSDAY EVENING. THIS WILL BRING A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE OVER UPPER MICHIGAN THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY.

OVERALL...THE MAIN STORY IS THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW...MODERATE TO
STRONG WINDS...AND LOW WIND CHILLS EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY
AFTERNOON.

THROUGH THIS WEEK MODELS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN
SHOWING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MESOLOW OVER LAKE SUPERIOR AFTER THE
INITIAL PASSING OF THE LARGER SCALE LOW PRESSURE. ORIGINAL THINKING
WAS THAT THE MESO LOW WOULD SEND A BAND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW
INTO MARQUETTE COUNTY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE 6Z AND 12Z RUNS
SENT THIS BAND FURTHER NORTH INTO THE KEWEENAW DURING THIS TIME
FRAME/WHICH HAPPENS TO BE CORRECT PER RECENT OBS. THE TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LARGER SCALE LOW AND THE APPROACHING
HIGH HAS BROUGHT GUSTY WINDS TO 25 TO 35 MPH. BEST ISALLOBARIC
COMPONENT/SLIGHT RISE AND FALL COUPLET IS OVER THE KEWEENAW BRIEFLY
THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING...SINKING INTO NORTHERN MARQUETTE
COUNTY/BARAGA LATE TONIGHT...AND INTO EASTERN MARQUETTE/ALGER
COUNTIES TOMORROW MORNING AND AFTERNOON. CONDITIONS HAVE
DETERIORATED ACROSS WESTERN UPPER MICHIGAN AS A RESULT OF THESE
GUSTY WINDS...WITH VISIBILITY OVER THE KEWEENAW DOWN TO 1/4 MILE
VISIBILITY...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW...AND EXTENSIVE BLOWING SNOW AS
OF 1930Z. KIWD WAS EXPERIENCING VISIBILITY OF A 1/2 TO 1/4 OF A MILE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...BUT ACCUMULATIONS WERE OVERALL LIGHT.
OBSERVERS REPORTED LOTS OF BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW BECAUSE OF THE
WINDS. KEPT THE OVERALL TREND AND SIMILAR SNOW TOTALS FROM THE MID
SHIFT FORECAST...BUT DELAYED THINGS BY ABOUT 3 HOURS AS THE 12Z RUNS
BROUGHT THINGS IN A LITTLE SLOWER. KEPT LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORIES
FOR GOGEBIC/ONTONAGON/SOUTHERN HOUGHTON/BARAGA/MARQUETTE/ALGER AND
LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNINGS FOR NORTHERN HOUGHTON/KEWEENAW. THOUGHT
ABOUT PUTTING A WARNING UP FOR BARAGA/MARQUETTE COUNTIES...AS MODELS
VARIED QUITE A BIT ON QPF AND THEY NOW BRING THE WORST OF THE
CONDITIONS INTO MARQUETTE CITY TOWARDS THE MORNING COMMUTE.
HOWEVER...TRENDED IN THE MIDDLE FOR AMOUNTS FOR NOW...AND ONLY HAVE
3 TO 6 INCHES TOTAL IN FOR MOST THE COUNTIES. WINDS ARE ALSO
EXPECTED TO DIE DOWN SOMEWHAT TOWARDS MORNING FOR THESE AREAS.
BARAGA/NORTHERN MARQUETTE COUNTIES WILL ALSO SEE MOST OF THIS LATE
AT NIGHT...WHEN IMPACTS ARE NOT AS HIGH. STILL...LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS OF 6 TO 7 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE HURON MOUNTAINS/HIGHER
TERRAIN.

TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT WILL RANGE FROM -12F TO NEAR 2F ABOVE...AND
WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL FORECAST AREA WILL BE
UNDER GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS. AS A RESULT...HAVE MENTIONED WIND CHILL
VALUES OF -20F TO -30F IN THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORIES/WARNINGS
AND PUT UP A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR IRON AND DICKINSON COUNTIES.
WINDS ACROSS THE EASTERN CWA WILL BE LIGHTER...SO DID NOT INCLUDE
MUCH MORE THAN A BRIEF MENTION OF LOW WIND CHILLS IN ALGER COUNTY.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 440 PM EST WED JAN 22 2014

PERSISTENT PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE EXTENDED WITH RDGG OVER WRN
NORTH AMERICA AND BROAD TROUGHING ACROSS MUCH OF THE REST OF THE
CONTINENT INCLUDING THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS PATTERN WILL ENSURE
THAT MUCH BELOW NORMAL TEMPS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS WEEKEND INTO
THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK AS A SERIES OF CLIPPER SHORTWAVES MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION. ALSO FEATURED WITH THIS PATTERN WILL BE MAINLY
NW FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW DOWNWIND OF LAKE SUPERIOR THROUGH MUCH OF
THE PERIOD.

BEGINNING THU NIGHT AND FRI...ANY LINGERING LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOULD
BE ENDING OVER THE FAR NE CWA AS WINDS BACK SW AHEAD OF THE NEXT
APPROACHING CLIPPER SYSTEM. QUICK MOISTENING OF MID-LVLS ALONG WITH
MODERATE MID-LVL Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND 280-285K ISENTROPIC ASCENT
ASSOC WITH CLIPPER SHORTWAVE SHOULD RESULT IN A WIDESPREAD DUSTING
WEST TO MAYBE AN INCH OF LIGHT SNOW EAST LATE THU NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE AND ASSOC COLD FRONT
MOVING THROUGH THE REGION FRI EVENING WILL USHER IN MUCH COLDER
TEMPS INTO SATURDAY. THE OTHER MAIN IMPACT WILL BE LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT FOR THE NW-WNW SNOWBELTS OF
LAKE SUPERIOR INTO SATURDAY. AS THE POLAR VORTEX DESCENDS TO JAMES
BAY SATURDAY MORNING...8H TEMPS FALLING TO -25C TO -28C OVER THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES WILL RESULT IN POOR SNOW GROWTH AND SMALL SNOWFLAKE
SIZE FOR LES AS THE DGZ WILL BE SQUASHED NEAR THE LAKE SFC. THE
COMBINATION OF POOR SNOW GROWTH AND LIMITED FETCH DUE TO EXTENSIVE
ICE COVER WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN MINIMAL LES ACCUMULATION OVER THE
WRN COUNTIES. LONGER FETCH OF OPEN WATER OVER ERN LAKE SUPERIOR
SHOULD RESULT IN SEVERAL INCHES OF LES ACCUMULATION THROUGH THE EVENT
FOR THE ERN COUNTIES. NW WINDS GUSTING AT OR ABOVE 30 MPH ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE LAKE SUPERIOR SHORELINE AS INDICATED BY MODEL FCST SNDGS
WILL ALSO CAUSE CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW OVER ERN
COUNTIES.

WITH CAA TAKING PLACE THROUGH MUCH OF SATURDAY...NOT EXPECTING HIGH
TEMPS TO RISE MUCH FROM FRIDAY NIGHT LOWS...GENERALLY SINGLE DIGITS
WEST TO AROUND 12F EAST...WITH LIKELY FALLING TEMPS DURING THE
AFTERNOON HRS. WIND CHILLS DURING THE NOQUEMANON SKI MARATHON IN MQT
ON SATURDAY COULD APPROACH 20 BELOW ZERO.

LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL CONTINUE SAT NIGHT OVER ERN COUNTIES AND MAY
BE ENHANCED BY INCREASED LOW-LVL CONVERGENCE FROM LAND BREEZES OFF
UPPER MI AND ONTARIO. THE NEXT CLIPPER SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE NRN
PLAINS SAT NIGHT AND THEN INTO SRN WI/NRN IL EARLY SUN WILL RESULT
IN INCREASING CLOUDS AND A DUSTING OF LIGHT SNOW LATE SAT NIGHT INTO
SUN MORNING. MINIMUM TEMPS SAT NIGHT WILL LIKELY BE REACHED IN THE
EVENING OR EARLY OVERNIGHT WITH MAINLY SINGLE DIGIT BLO ZERO
READINGS. INCREASING CLOUDS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING ASSOC WITH CLIPPER
SYSTEM WILL LIKELY ALLOW TEMPS TO RISE A BIT TOWARD SUNRISE.

SUNDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT...MODELS SHOW SURGE OF VERY COLD ARCTIC AIR
IN THE WAKE OF THE SUNDAY MORNINGS CLIPPER SYSTEM WITH 8H TEMPS
FALLING TO -28C TO -30C BY LATE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS BLAST
OF ARCTIC AIR SHOULD RESULT IN FALLING TEMPS SUN AFTERNOON AND
BITTER COLD CONDITIONS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY NIGHT. LAKE EFFECT
SNOW WILL BE ONGOING OVER N-NW SNOWBELTS DOWNWIND OF LAKE SUPERIOR
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT...MAINLY OVER THE NCNTRL AND ERN COUNTIES
WHERE THERE WILL BE MORE OPEN WATER UPSTREAM. DGZ WILL BE
NONEXISTENT SO MAIN IMPACT OF THE SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE REDUCED VSBY
DUE TO SMALL SNOWFLAKE SIZE. LES BANDS WILL SHIFT MORE OVER THE ERN
COUNTIES MON INTO MON NIGHT AS WINDS BACK MORE WNW. LOW TEMPS SUN
NIGHT AND MON NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM SINGLE DIGITS BLO ZERO NEAR THE
GREAT LAKES AND EAST TO MID TO UPPER TEENS BLO ZERO OVER THE
INTERIOR WEST ALONG THE WI BORDER. NW GRAD WIND OF AROUND 10 MPH
AHEAD OF STRONG 1045 MB HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO ERN MT AND THE
DAKOTAS COMBINED WITH THE VERY COLD TEMPS WILL DRIVE WIND CHILLS
DOWN TO DANGEROUS LEVELS DURING NIGHTTIME AND EARLY MORNING HOURS.
EXPECT WIND CHILL READINGS DURING THESE PERIODS TO DIP TO 20 TO 25
BELOW NEAR THE GREAT LAKES AND EAST TO NEAR 35 BELOW ZERO OVER MUCH
OF THE WESTERN INTERIOR. HIGHS MONDAY WILL LIKELY BE IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS BLO ZERO WEST TO SINGLE DIGITS ABV ZERO EAST.

TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...MODELS SHOW THE AIRMASS SLOWLY MODIFYING
THROUGH MIDWEEK WITH 8H TEMPS RISING TO -15 TO -17C BY MIDDAY
WEDNESDAY. LIGHT NW FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL LINGER TUESDAY INTO
TUESDAY NIGHT AS THEN TAPER OFF WEDNESDAY AS WINDS BACK WESTERLY AND
8H TEMPS RISE DECREASING OVER WATER INSTABILITY. LOOK FOR LOW TEMPS
