Area forecast discussion, Jan 3, 4:46 PM EST, 17 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
446 PM EST FRI JAN 3 2014
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 446 PM EST FRI JAN 3 2014
FOCUS IN THE SHORT TERM IS ON RATHER WELL-DEFINED SHORTWAVE TROF
SWINGING INTO THE NRN PLAINS WITH ASSOCIATED SFC LOW OVER FAR NRN
ND. STRONG WAA/ISENTROPIC ASCENT PATTERN HAS DEVELOPED EASTWARD INTO
THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY/UPPER GREAT LAKES THIS AFTN (LATEST VAD
WIND PROFILE FROM KMQT RADAR SHOWS WINDS OF 50-55KT AS LOW AS 1.5KFT
AGL). AS A RESULT...SNOW SHIELD CONTINUES TO EXPAND FROM SCNTRL
CANADA/FAR NRN PLAINS TO THE UPPER LAKES.
WITH STRONG ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND MIXING RATIOS OF 3G/KG PER 295K
SFC...LOOKS LIKE A SOLID 4-6 INCH SNOW TONIGHT WHERE SNOW IS
PERSISTENT FROM THE KEWEENAW INTO THE ERN FCST AREA. FARTHER S...
SNOW SHOULD BE MORE INTERMITTENT WITH LOW-LEVELS NOT CONSISTENTLY
REMAINING SATURATED. LOOKS LIKE A GENERAL 1-3 INCHES S OF THE ABOVE
MENTIONED AREAS. OUT E...LAKE ENHANCEMENT OFF LAKE MICHIGAN IS A
CONCERN AS AIR MASS REMAINS SUFFICIENTLY COLD DESPITE STRONG WAA.
SNOW AMOUNTS THERE WILL BE FLIRTING WITH WARNING CRITERIA OF
6IN/12HR. MOST HIGH RES MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE PCPN AMOUNTS OF
0.75 TO 1.25IN OVER THE FAR ERN FCST AREA WHICH SEEMS A BIT ON THE
HIGH SIDE WITH LOW-LEVEL WIND DIRECTION/SHEAR NOT QUITE IDEAL AND
WAA BRINGING INSTABILITY TO ALMOST THE MARGINAL THRESHOLD.
HOWEVER...THE INSISTENCE OF A NUMBER OF MODELS ON SIGNIFICANT QPF IS
A CONCERN THAT FCST SNOW ACCUMULATIONS NEED TO BUMPED UP. IN
ADDITION...GIVEN THE INCREASING INTENSITY OF THE WAA/ISENTROPIC
ASCENT SNOW IN RECENT HRS...A DEEPER THAN FCST SFC LOW IN ND AND
RATHER WELL-DEFINED LOOK OF SHORTWAVE...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN
GENERAL MAY NEED TO BE BUMPED UP ACROSS THE BOARD. TRENDS WILL NEED
TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS FOR POTENTIAL
EXPANSION OF ADVY HEADLINES AND UPGRADE OF SOME AREAS TO WARNINGS.
BLSN WILL ALSO BE A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WITH STRENGTH OF THE LOW-LEVEL
WIND FIELDS NOTED BY KMQT VAD WIND PROFILE. COMBINED WITH STRONG
PRES FALLS OF 6-8MB/3HR PASSING ACROSS/JUST N OF THE AREA...WINDS
WILL BE GUSTY UPWARDS OF 25-35MPH AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY DURING THE
EVENING. WINDS SHOULD BE STRONGEST ACROSS THE ERN FCST AREA DOWNWIND
OF LAKE MICHIGAN DUE TO FAVORABLE LOW-LEVEL WIND DIRECTION. GUSTS
MAY REACH 40-45MPH AT TIMES IN EXPOSED AREAS ALONG LAKE MI.
UNDER STRONG WAA...TEMPS SHOULD FALL LITTLE IF AT ALL FROM LATE AFTN
READINGS. IN FACT...THERE MAY BE A SLOW RISING TREND AT MOST
LOCATIONS. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE SAT MORNING AHEAD OF COLD
FRONT WHICH WILL REACH WRN UPPER MI AROUND MID MORNING. EXPECT TEMPS
TO RISE TO AS HIGH AS THE MID/UPPER 20S. TEMPS WILL THEN FALL W TO E
AFTER COLD FROPA.
AS -SN ENDS...LES WILL GET UNDERWAY AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES.
HOWEVER...WITH INVERSION QUICKLY CRASHING TO AROUND 4KFT...LES
INTENSITY WILL BE GREATLY LIMITED. NONETHELESS...LIGHT LES COMBINED
WITH GUSTY WINDS/BLSN/POOR VIS WILL PROBABLY NECESSITATE THE NEED FOR
AN ADVY TYPE HEADLING FOR THE KEWEENAW PERHAPS DOWN TO ONTONAGON
COUNTY IN THE AFTN.
.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 446 PM EST FRI JAN 3 2014
COLD. COLD TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE RULE THROUGH THE 1ST HALF OF THE
WORK WEEK. IT/S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES THIS
TIME OF YEAR ARE IN THE LOW 20S.
AT 00Z SUNDAY...THE 500-700MB LOW WILL BE OVER S CENTRAL CANADA AS
THE SFC LOW ROTATES UP FROM THE S TIP OF JAMES BAY. THE
NAM/GFS/ECMWF WRAP UP WITH THE SFC LOW A BIT MORE THAN THE ECMWF
INITIALLY SATURDAY MORNING OVER N JAMES BAY/S LAKE HURON...AS THE
1050MB HIGH SINKS SE OFF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES. CLOSER TO HOME W-WNW
FLOW OFF LAKE SUPERIOR WILL BE AROUND -18 TO -20C AT 850MB TO START
OFF THE PERIOD. THE COLD AIR WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH IN OVERNIGHT INTO
SUNDAY...FALLING TO -31C WEST TO -23C EAST BY 00Z MONDAY...AS THE
COLDEST AIR AROUND -35C SETTLES INTO THE ARROWHEAD OF MN.
OUR W-WNW WINDS WILL TURN MORE OUT OF THE NW SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE
COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON SINKS IN. IT WILL BE PLENTY COLD WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR BREAKING OR AT LEAST NEARING THE RECORD LOW TEMPS.
RECORD LOWS FOR THE 5TH...6TH...AND 7TH FOR WFO MQT ARE
-20/1972/...-17/1968/...AND -22F/1968/ RESPECTIVELY. THE RECORD
LOW-HIGH TEMPERATURES LOOK MORE LIKELY TO BE BROKEN...WHICH RUN IN
THE -3 TO 4F RANGE FOR THE FIRST 8 DAYS IN JANUARY AT WFO MQT. IT
WILL BE REMINISCENT OF THE COLD AIR WE EXPERIENCED JANUARY 21 AND 22
2012...WHERE THE HIGH TEMPS WERE -3F BOTH DAYS. OTHERWISE YOU HAVE
TO GO WAY BACK TO JANUARY 15 2009 TO GET BELOW 0F HIGH TEMPS HERE
/-1F/.
THE 500MB LOW STRETCHING FROM E SD THROUGH NE MN AND N ONTARIO
SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE ORIENTED N-S OVER THE CWA FROM 06-12Z
MONDAY. AT THE SAME TIME LOOK FOR A RAPIDLY DEEPENING SFC LOW OVER W
NY AND W QUEBEC. BEHIND THE LOW...COLD AIR AND STRONGER WINDS WILL
SURGE INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES.
WITH SOME MODERATION...THE COOLEST AIR WILL BE OVERHEAD DURING THE
DAY MONDAY...WITH 850MB TEMPS BOTTOMING OUT BETWEEN -25 AND -30C.
WITH THE DGZ NONEXISTENT EXPECT ONLY SMALL PLATES AND COLUMNS TO
FORM...WITH RATIOS UP TO AROUND 15:1. GIVEN THE QUICK FORMING ICE
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES LIKELY NOT BEING WELL REPRESENTED IN THE
MODELS...MODEL FCST TEMPS WILL LIKELY BE TOO HIGH THIS WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. WILL CONTINUE THE TREND OF CUTTING THEM BACK. ONE
OF THE MAIN CONCERNS AS WE START THE NEXT WORK WEEK WILL BE WIND
CHILL VALUES...AS KIDS GET READY TO GET ON AREA BUSES. CONTINUE TO
MENTION OFF AND ON WHITEOUT CONDITIONS ACROSS THE KEWEENAW PENINSULA
FOR THIS EVENT AS WELL...AS THE WINDS GUSTING 20-30KTS COMBINE WITH
THE SMALL SNOW FLAKES TO EFFICIENTLY REDUCE VISIBILITIES. HAVE
CONTINUED THE SPS TO HIGHLIGHT THESE CONCERNS. THE NEXT SHIFT/S
LIKELY NEED TO ISSUE HEADLINE PRODUCTS.
KEPT WITH A MAINLY CONSENSUS FCST BEYOND TUESDAY...WITH LES SLOWLY
PUSHING N AND OFFSHORE FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS WARMER AIR
SLIDES IN. EXPECT TEMPS TO RISE INTO THE 20S FOR MOST LOCATIONS
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1217 PM EST FRI JAN 3 2014
APPROACHING LOW PRES SYSTEM WILL SPREAD AREAS OF SNOW ACROSS THE
AREA THRU TONIGHT. STEADIER SNOW IS EXPECTED AT KCMX WHERE
CONDITIONS SHOULD END UP IN THE IFR RANGE MORE FREQUENTLY THAN AT
KIWD/KSAW WHERE SNOW SHOULD BE MORE INTERMITTENT. SOME PERIODS OF
LIFR NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AT KCMX. SNOW SHOULD OVERALL TEND TO
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT WITH SOME IMPROVEMENT...MORE SO AT KSAW/KIWD.
GUSTY WINDS MAINLY INTO THE 20-30KT RANGE WILL ALSO PRODUCE BLSN...
RESULTING IN RAPID VIS FLUCTUATIONS AT TIMES THIS AFTN/EVENING. COLD
FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA SAT MORNING/EARLY AFTN. SNOW/BLSN
AFTER FROPA SHOULD CAUSE CONDITIONS TO FALL TO LIFR AT KCMX. MAY SEE
A PERIOD OF IFR AT KIWD AFTER FROPA. AT KSAW...IMPROVEMENT WILL
BEGIN AFTER FROPA AS WINDS BECOME DOWNSLOPE WNW.
&&
.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 446 PM EST FRI JAN 3 2014
THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WILL LINGER OFF AND ON ACROSS
PORTIONS OF LAKE SUPERIOR THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
STRONG LOW-LEVEL WIND FIELDS AND RATHER STRONG PRES FALLS PASSING
ACROSS THE AREA WILL LEAD TO S TO SW GALES ACROSS MUCH OF LAKE
SUPERIOR TONIGHT...ALONG WITH HVY FREEZING SPRAY. NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION THAT THERE WILL BE A FEW STORM FORCE GUSTS AT HIGHER OBS
PLATFORMS THIS EVENING. WHILE THERE MAY BE BREAK FOR SEVERAL HRS WITH
LIGHTER WINDS UNDER GALE FORCE JUST AHEAD OF COLD FRONT THAT WILL BE
CROSSING THE LAKE LATE TONIGHT THRU SAT...ANOTHER PERIOD OF W TO NW
GALES WILL QUICKLY DEVELOP AFTER THE FRONT PASSES DUE TO STRONG COLD
AIR ADVECTION AND APPROACH OF HEALTHY PRES RISES...PARTICULARLY MONDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY.
