AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
1229 AM EST THU FEB 20 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 942 PM EST WED FEB 19 2014

ADJUSTED MIN TEMPS UP A COUPLE OF DEGREES...MAINLY OVER THE W AND
NEAR THE WI BORDER WHERE HI CLDS HAVE ARRIVED BEFORE SFC WINDS COULD
DECOUPLE. BUT CONCERN THAT HI CLDS MIGHT THIN LATER TNGT WITH
RELATIVELY LGT WINDS/OVERALL DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE LIMITED THE
ADJUSTMENT.
&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 518 PM EST WED FEB 19 2014

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS SHOW TROF MOVING ACROSS THE
ROCKIES WITH 2 MAIN SHORTWAVES OF INTEREST THAT WILL CONSPIRE TO
BRING A STRONG WINTER STORM TO THE UPPER LAKES. ONE IS OVER SRN
SASKATCHEWAN/MT AND THE OTHER IS MOVING ACROSS NV/UT. WELL OUT AHEAD
OF THESE FEATURES...A QUIET NIGHT IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE FCST AREA.
MAINLY CLEAR SKIES INITIALLY WILL GIVE WAY TO INCREASING HIGH AND
MID CLOUDS DURING THE NIGHT. LIGHT WINDS AND LACK OF SIGNIFICANT
CLOUD COVER EARLY SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS OVER THE CNTRL AND E TO FALL
QUICKLY. LEANED TOWARD SOME OF THE COLDER GUIDANCE WITH MINS IN THE
MID TEENS IN THE INTERIOR. OUT W...DEVELOPING LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW
AND A QUICKER INCREASE IN CLOUDS SHOULD HOLD TEMPS UP INTO THE
LOW/MID 20S.

ON THU...LOW PRES ORGANIZING OVER THE SRN PLAINS EARLY IN THE MORNING
WILL LIFT NE INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY DURING THE AFTN.
GENERAL MODEL TREND IN THE LAST DAY OR SO HAS BEEN FOR A SLOWER
EXPANSION OF PCPN NE INTO THE UPPER LAKES AS SYSTEM IS TENDING TO
START THE RAPID DEEPENING PHASE MORE QUICKLY BEFORE REACHING THE
UPPER LAKES. OPTED TO FOLLOW THIS TREND AND FAVOR THE SLOWER
SOLUTIONS. AS A RESULT...PCPN ONSET HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK SOME. MAIN
PUSH OF HEAVY PCPN IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL THU NIGHT WHEN IT WILL
RAPIDLY SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA. INITIALLY...EVAPORATIVE/ADIABATIC
COOLING SHOULD LEAD TO PTYPE AS MAINLY SNOW...BUT DID INCLUDE SOME
MENTION OF MIXED PTYPES OVER ABOUT THE SE HALF.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 518 PM EST WED FEB 19 2014

MAIN CONCERN FOR THE LONG TERM FORECAST IS THE WINTER STORM EXPECTED
ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

EARLIER MODEL RUNS HAVE CONSISTENTLY KEPT THE TWO SURFACE LOWS
CROSSING FROM ILLINOIS AND MINNESOTA THURSDAY AFTERNOON TO A MERGED
LOW OVER CENTRAL UPPER MICHIGAN BY LATE THURSDAY EVENING. THIS
BRINGS WARM AIR AND HENCE MIXED PRECIPITATION INTO PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL AND EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. CONCERNS THIS PAST FEW DAYS HAVE
BEEN ABOUT THE FORECASTED LOW TRACK SHIFTING AS THE MODELS HAD NOT
REALLY BEEN ABLE TO ADEQUATELY SAMPLE THE SYSTEM UP UNTIL TODAY.

HOWEVER...NOW THAT THE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM HAS MOVED ONSHORE IN THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST...DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS HAVE DEVELOPED. THE 6Z NAM
BEGAN TRENDING THE SYSTEM EASTWARD...AND THE 12Z NAM HAS COMPLETELY
MOVED THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER LATE THURSDAY EVENING FROM THE CENTRAL
U.P. TO OVER NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN. IT IS ALSO SLOWER THAN THE
OTHER SOLUTIONS. FURTHER COMPLICATING MATTERS...THE 12Z GEM MOVED
THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER FURTHER WEST OVER NORTH CENTRAL UPPER
MICHIGAN. THE 12Z GFS HOWEVER...HAS TRENDED SLIGHTLY WESTWARD FROM
ITS 6Z SOLUTION. THIS PUTS THE LOW OVER WESTERN UPPER MI BY 6Z
FRIDAY.

OVERALL...FURTHER EAST SOLUTIONS DIMINISH MIXED PRECIPITATION
CONCERNS AND PULL THE HEAVIEST CORE OF SNOW FURTHER EAST...WHEREAS
PREVIOUS FCST HAD IT MAINLY OVER THE WEST. FOR THIS
FORECAST...DECIDED TO LEAN TOWARDS THE WESTERN SOLUTIONS AS THIS HAS
BEEN THE MORE PERSISTENT SOLUTION. STARTED TRENDING SLIGHTLY MORE
WESTWARD WITH THE FORECAST GRIDS AS A RESULT...NAMELY THE
GFS/GEM/ECMWF COMPROMISE. AS FAR AS TIMING GOES...THE GEM BRINGS
THINGS IN SLOWER. THE 00Z ECMWF/12Z GFS BRING THE LOW THROUGH
QUICKER BY ABOUT 6 HRS...WITH THE CENTER OVER NORTH CENTRAL UPPER MI
BY 6Z FRIDAY. THE GEM IS STILL OVER CENTRAL WI AT THIS TIME.
PREVIOUS RUNS OF THE GEM HAD TIMING MORE LIKE THAT OF THE RECENT
RUNS OF THE ECMWF/GFS...THOUGH THE GFS TENDS TO BE MORE PROGRESSIVE
WITH SYSTEMS. WILL GO MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR NOW TO COMPENSATE FOR
THIS.

THE GFS/GEM/ECMWF BLEND SHOWS A BROAD AREA OF ISENTROPIC ASCENT
OVERSPREADING THE AREA STARTING THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WITH THE
STRONGEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT FROM THE 18Z THUR-06Z FRI TIME FRAME
OVER LOWER MICHIGAN...NORTHERN WI...AND CENTRAL/EASTERN UPPER
MICHIGAN. 700/850MB FGEN BAND MOVES FROM ROUGHLY SOUTH TO NORTH
ACROSS THE AREA BEGINNING AROUND THIS TIME AND CONTINUING THROUGH AS
SYSTEM DEEPENS WITH NEGATIVELY TILTING UPPER TROUGH. THE SYSTEM
BEGINS TO OCCLUDE...AND THE TROWAL DEVELOPS AND POSITIONS ITSELF/AND
THE ASSOCIATED FGEN BAND OVER WESTERN UPPER MI.

AS FAR AS PTYPE GOES...THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 12Z GFS/12Z
GEM/00Z ECMWF WITH REGARDS TO THE HEIGHT/TEMP OF THE WARMEST LAYER
ALOFT AND DEPTH OF THE SURFACE COLD LAYER FROM 00-03Z FRI...AND THE
SURFACE WARM LAYER AROUND 6-9Z FRI. BY 12Z FRIDAY THE MODELS ARE
CONSISTENT IN HAVING THE WHOLE SOUNDING BELOW ZERO.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE EASTERN HALF WILL SEE THE BEST SHOT FOR FREEZING
RAIN FROM 00-9Z...AND THE RAIN/SNOW LINE SEEMS TO SET UP FROM
EASTERN MARQUETTE COUNTY TO EASTERN DICKINSON COUNTY. ONCE WE GET
PAST 9Z...THE ENTIRE PROFILE IN THIS AREA DROPS BELOW ZERO.
GENERALLY...MIXED PRECIP TIME LOOKS TO BE QUICK ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE
STRONG DYNAMICS IN THE SYSTEM. MAX TS ALOFT REACH A MAX OF 2C WITH
THE WARM GFS...AND STAY BELOW ZERO WITH THE 00Z ECMWF. EAST OF THIS
LINE...WARM LAYER REACHES 3C AROUND 850 AND THE COLD SURFACE LAYER
IS FAIRLY SHALLOW AND EVEN SNEAKS ABOVE ZERO FROM 6-9Z ACCORDING TO
THE GEM...BRINGING A POT POURRI OF PRECIPITATION. THIS AREA IS STILL
ON TRACK FOR SEEING MORE ICE ACCUMULATION. ALL OTHER AREAS WILL BE
PRIMARILY SNOW.

WINDS ARE A CONSIDERABLE ISSUE WITH THIS SYSTEM AS WELL. STRONG
PRESSURE RISE FALL COUPLET SNEAKS IN WITH THE SYSTEM...BRINGING A
SIGNIFICANT ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT TO THE WIND. THIS IS ESPECIALLY
THE CASE ACROSS EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN EARLY THURSDAY EVENING UNTIL
AROUND 06Z...AND THEN IN THE WEST AND NORTH CENTRAL BY FRIDAY
MORNING/AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ONLY ADD TO THE REDUCED VISIBILITY WITH
EXTENSIVE BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW. GUSTS IN SOME OF THESE
AREAS...PARTICULARLY THE EXPOSED REGIONS IN THE WEST-NORTHWEST
FAVORED REGIONS...WILL LIKELY SEE GUSTS INTO THE 40S FRIDAY.

GIVEN THE RECENT MODEL RUNS...FELT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO GO WITH A
WINTER STORM WARNING FOR LOCATIONS WEST OF MARQUETTE/DICKINSON
COUNTIES. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS RANGE FROM ABOUT 8 TO 12 INCHES IN
THESE COUNTIES. ALSO UPGRADED THE BLIZZARD WATCH TO A WARNING FOR
KEWEENAW/N.HOUGHTON COUNTIES GIVEN THE EXTENSIVE WINDS AND SNOW.
OTHERWISE...KEPT THE REST OF THE CWA UNDER A WINTER STORM WATCH TO
PIN DOWN THE DETAILS. IF THE SYSTEM DOES SNEAK EASTWARD...WE MAY
NEED TO ADD ADDITIONAL COUNTIES INTO THE WARNING. MOST OF THE
UNCERTAINTIES WILL IMPACT THE CENTRAL/EASTERN COUNTIES THE MOST...SO
A WATCH SEEMED BEST RIGHT NOW.

FOR THE EXTENDED...WITH THE LINGERING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IN THE
AREA...EXPECT COLDER TEMPERATURES TO RETURN. 850MB TEMPS WILL DROP
TOWARDS -25C TO -30C AS WE HEAD FURTHER INTO THE LATER TIME PERIODS.
SNOW WILL GRADUALLY CONFINE TO THE WEST WIND FAVORED REGIONS NEAR
LAKE SUPERIOR...AS ICE WILL LIKELY BE BROKEN ENOUGH TO INDUCE
INSTABILITY FOR LES.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1229 AM EST THU FEB 20 2014

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THRU THIS MRNG AS LLVL AIRMASS IS
TOO DRY FOR FOG UNDER A VEIL OF MID/HI CLDS. AS DEEPENING LO PRES
APRCHS UPR MI FM THE S LATER TODAY...EXPECT DETERIORATING CONDITIONS
WITH GUSTY WINDS/SOME LGT SN AND BLSN/MVFR CONDITIONS ARRIVING IN
THE AFTN. CONDITIONS WL FALL TO LIFR/VLIFR FOR AT LEAST SEVERAL HRS
THIS EVNG...MAINLY AT IWD AND CMX WHERE THE PCPN WL BE IN THE FORM
OF HEAVY SN. AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF VLIFR CONDITIONS IS LIKELY AT THE
MORE EXPOSED KCMX SITE BEGINNING TNGT AND LASTING THRU MUCH OF FRI
AS THE MORE EXPOSED KEWEENAW PENINSULA WL BE PLAGUED BY SN/BLSN WITH
VERY STRONG E WINDS SHIFTING TO THE W ONCE THE SFC LO MOVES TO THE N

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 518 PM EST WED FEB 19 2014

WINDS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING...BECOMING LIGHT UNDER 15KT. WINDS
WILL THEN BEGIN TO INCREASE OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF A WINTER STORM
ORGANIZING OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. E TO NE WINDS MAY REACH UPWARDS
OF 30KT OVER FAR WRN LAKE SUPERIOR BY MORNING. WINDS WILL STEADILY
INCREASE ACROSS THE LAKE THU AS THE ORGANIZING LOW PRES SYSTEM LIFTS
INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE LOW WILL THEN RAPIDLY DEEPEN...
BECOMING AN INTENSE LOW WITH PRES BOTTOMING OUT AROUND 28.7 INCHES
AS IT MOVES NNE ACROSS CNTRL UPPER MI AND CNTRL LAKE SUPERIOR LATE
THU NIGHT AND FRI MORNING. AHEAD OF THE LOW...EASTERLY GALES WILL
DEVELOP OVER CNTRL AND ERN LAKE SUPERIOR THU EVENING. WHILE E TO NE
GALES MAY ALSO DEVELOP OVER WRN LAKE SUPERIOR...W GALES ARE MORE
LIKELY IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW FRI/FRI NIGHT. GALES WILL CONTINUE
OVER CNTRL AND ERN LAKE SUPERIOR FRI THRU SAT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
STORM FORCE WINDS OVER ERN LAKE SUPERIOR FRI. ALTHOUGH GALES WILL
END BY SUN...WINDS WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE 20-30KT RANGE.
