AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
323 AM EST SAT DEC 26 2015

.NEAR TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 323 AM EST SAT DEC 26 2015

HAZARDOUS WEATHER POTENTIAL...LIGHT WINTRY MIX THIS AFTERNOON/
TONIGHT.

HIGH PRESSURE LIFTING ACROSS NORTHERN MI EARLY THIS MORNING. AN
INVERTED TROF EXTENDS NORTH INTO THE PLAINS STATES FROM LOW
PRESSURE IN TX. A WARM FRONT IS IN THE TN VALLEY. THE INVERTED
TROF WILL SWEEP EAST INTO THE NORTHERN LAKES LATE TODAY...FORCED
BY A SHORTWAVE THAT WILL CROSS SUPERIOR TONIGHT. THE WARM FRONT
WILL PUSH NORTH OF THE OHIO VALLEY BY LATE TODAY...WITH
CONSIDERABLE WARM/MOIST ADVECTION NORTH OF THE FRONT. THE
STRONGEST FORCING WILL PASS TO OUR NW WITH THE FORMER
FEATURE...AND STAY TO OUR SOUTH WITH THE LATTER. BUT THE
COMBINATION WILL AID IN GENERATING LIGHT PRECIP IN NORTHERN MI.

TODAY/TONIGHT...CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO THICKEN THIS MORNING...AS
MID AND HIGH CLOUDS EXPAND IN FROM THE W AND S. NOT COMPLETELY OUT
OF THE QUESTION THAT -SN SKIRTS BY PARTS OF WESTERN CHIP/MACK BY
LATE MORNING...AS EJECTING WAVE TO OUR W LIFTS NE. HOWEVER...DRIER
AIR PRESENTLY IN PLACE CENTERED ON 700MB (SEE 00Z APX SOUNDING) WILL
LARGELY KEEP THIS AT BAY.

HOWEVER...PRECIP WILL SURGE NORTHWARD INTO THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING...AS ISENTROPIC ASCENT INCREASES NORTH OF THE
ONCOMING WARM FRONT. SATURATION WILL BEGIN ABOVE 700MB...AND
GRADUALLY WORK DOWN. HEAVIEST PRECIP IS LIKELY TO STAY SOUTH (SOUTH
OF A SHARP AXIS OF 850-700MB FGEN)...WITH TOTAL QPF FOR NORTHERN MI
IN THE 0.10 TO 0.20 INCH RANGE.

P-TYPE IS COMPLEX. WITH SO MUCH EVAP COOLING EARLY ON...PRECIP AT
ONSET COULD BE A WINTRY MIX OF MOST ANYTHING. HOWEVER...IN THE SOUTH
AND WEST...THE RAPID ARRIVAL OF DEEP WARM NOSE ALOFT (CENTERED ON
825MB...WHICH WILL REACH 6C IN SOUTHERN SECTIONS) WILL RAPIDLY
RESULT IN ALL-LIQUID PRECIP. THAT COVERS PLACES LIKE
OSC/HTL/CAD/TVC. AS ONE HEADS NORTH...THE WARM LAYER BECOMES WEAKER
AND MORE ELEVATED...AND COOLER EAST TO NE SUB-800MB FLOW WILL KEEP
THAT LAYER COLDER. APN/GLR MAY SEE A RAIN/SLEET MIX...PERHAPS GOING
TO SNOW AS THE WARM NOSE ALOFT DEPARTS JUST BEFORE THE DEEPER
MOISTURE DOES. FOR THE HIGH ELEVATIONS AROUND GLR...SOME FZRA ENTERS
THE PICTURE...AS AIR TEMPS WILL BE RIGHT AROUND 32F. PLN AND POINTS
NORTH WILL BE ALL SNOW...WITH 1-2 INCHES OF ACCUMS EXPECTED (MAINLY
TONIGHT).

OVERNIGHT...MOISTURE STRIPS OUT ABOVE 700MB...BUT REMAINS BELOW.
THUS A TRANSITION TO DZ/FZDZ/FLURRIES IS EXPECTED...WITH SNOW
FAVORED IN THE COOLER NORTHERN SECTIONS...DZ/FZDZ CENTRAL AND SOUTH.

MAX TEMPS TODAY IN THE MID 30S TO AROUND 40F. MIN TEMPS TONIGHT
MID 20S TO LOWER 30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 323 AM EST SAT DEC 26 2015

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER: SNOW AND POSSIBLE FREEZING RAIN FOR LATE MONDAY
INTO TUESDAY MORNING.

FORECAST CHALLENGE: DETERMINING THE EXTENT OF THE FREEZING RAIN
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.

(12/27)SUNDAY...OF THE TWO DAYS COMING UP, SUNDAY LOOKS SOMEWHAT
STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH THE SFC LOW MOVING FROM THE LOWER GREAT LAKES
TO OFF THE COAST OF NEW ENGLAND BY 00Z, AND WITH A SFC HIGH IN THE N
PLAINS, IT LOOKS LIKE A N TO NNW LES FLOW. GIVEN THE WATER
TEMPERATURES (STILL AROUND +7C), THE 850 MB TEMPERATURES ARE
CERTAINLY COLD ENOUGH AT -10C OVER N LAKE MICHIGAN THE ONE FACTOR
THAT WOULD KEEP THE SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE LIGHT (I.E. 1-3") FOR THE
TIME PERIOD WOULD BE THAT THE AIR IN THE 850-700 MB LAYER IS VERY
DRY(RH<10% BY 00Z). THE WINDS BEGIN TO CONTINUE TO VEER OVERNIGHT TO
THE NE CUTTING OFF THE SNOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA, SOMETIME JUST
AFTER 06Z.

(12/28)MONDAY...HOWEVER, THERE IS ONLY A SHORT REPRIEVE UNTIL THE
PRECIPITATION STARTS AROUND 18Z. THE FIRST MAJOR CHALLENGE IS THE
ONSET OF PRECIPITATION. WITH THE SFC LOW IN THE MID-MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY AROUND 18Z, AND A HUDSON BAY HIGH PUMPING DRY AIR INTO THE
FORECAST AREA, IT MAY TAKE A BIT TO START. MODELS ARE SHOWING A
LITTLE SLOWER SOLUTION THAN YESTERDAY, BUT ON THE WHOLE IT LOOKS
LIKE THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD START SOUTH OF M-72 BETWEEN 18Z AND
00Z. MODEL SOUNDINGS STILL HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF DRY AIR IN THE MID
LEVELS, SO THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THE START. HOWEVER,
AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTH THE MOISTURE BEGINS TO ADVANCE,
AND IT LOOKS LIKE BY 00Z, THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE GETTING INTO
THE M-32 CORRIDOR, AND THEN OVERSPREAD INTO THE UP BY 06Z.

THE SECOND MAJOR FORECAST CHALLENGE IS THE P-TYPE.

LOOKING AT THE MODEL SOUNDINGS, THE MAIN AREA OF CONCERN IS SOUTH OF
M-72. SOME OF THE SOUNDINGS IN THAT AREA ARE CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ALL
SNOW, BUT THERE ARE SOME WARM NOSES, THAT ARE DEEP ENOUGH
(DEPTH>3000FT) TO MELT THE SNOW INTO RAIN, AND THE SFC TEMPERATURES
ARE BELOW 30F IN MOST CASES. THE CIPS ANALOGS SNOW THAT THE CHANCES
FOR ANY ONE POINT NORTH OF M-55 RANGES FROM 20 TO 50% ALL THE WAY TO
THE BRIDGE. THE MODEL SOUNDINGS NORTH OF M-72, HOWEVER, ARE COLD
ENOUGH TO SNOW, SO HAVE EVERYTHING NORTH WITH SNOW. IP ARE ALSO A
POSSIBILITY. SO A WINTRY MIX OF SNOW/SLEET/FREEZING RAIN IS
POSSIBLE. LOOKS LIKE TEMPERATURES WARM ENOUGH NEAR M-55 IN THE SOUTH
EAST COUNTIES FOR THE FREEZING RAIN TO SWITCH BACK OVER TO RAIN
BEFORE THE COLD AIR OVERWHELMS EVERYTHING AROUND 12Z/TUES SWITCHING
THE RAIN TO SNOW.

&&

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 323 AM EST SAT DEC 26 2015

EXTENDED (TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...IT IS BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE A
PATTERN CHANGE IS AFOOT. NOT THAT WE WILL GET BELOW NORMAL, BUT THAT
WE WILL BE LESS ABOVE NORMAL THAN WE HAVE BEEN AS WE GET FURTHER
INTO THE NEXT WEEK. THE CFSV2 SEEMS TO HAVE A TROUGH OVER THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES, WITH POSITIVE HEIGHT ANOMALIES, SO AT OR ABOVE NORMAL,
BUT NOT MUCH. SO THE DETAILS LOOK LIKE THIS...A GULF COAST LOW (SEE
MONDAY) MOVES INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES BY TUESDAY MORNING. THIS
PRODUCES SNOW MOST LIKELY, AS THE SFC LOW TRACKS SE OF THE FORECAST
AREA, AND PULLS COOLER AIR INTO THE REGION. AS LONG AS THE LOW STAYS
TO THE SOUTH AND EAST, THIS WILL PROBABLY PRODUCE SNOW OVER THE
REGION DURING THE DAY, BUT IF IT IS MUCH NORTH, SOME AREAS WILL GET
A MIX. OVERNIGHT WILL BE SNOW AS WELL AS WEDNESDAY DURING THE DAY
WITH THE COLD AIR OVER THE REGION. WITH A REINFORCING SHOT THAT
WOULD BE EXPECTED WITH THE NEXT COUPLE OF 500 MB TROUGHS THAT
REINFORCE THE LONGER WAVE TROUGH OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES.
THURSDAY, ONCE THE LOW HAS MOVED OFF, THE 850 MB TEMPERATURES ARE
-15C WITH NW FLOW. SO LES IS LOOKING LIKE A GOOD POSSIBILITY GOING
INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THE LES LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD MAINTAIN FOR
FRIDAY AS WELL, ALTHOUGH THE GFS IS SHOWING SOME DRYING AT 850 MB BY
00Z. SO THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF IT DIMINISHING FOR FRIDAY NIGHT,
JUST BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVES IN WITH THE ALREADY COLD AIR.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1145 PM EST FRI DEC 25 2015

THIN RIBBON ON MVFR LAKE INDUCED CLOUDS DRAPED ALONG THE LAKE
MICHIGAN SHORELINE FROM MANISTEE UP THROUGH THE STRAITS...STILL
HANGING ON THIS HOUR...RESULTING IN MVFR CIGS AT KMBL/KTVC AND
KPLN. BUT STILL BELIEVE WEAKENING AND BACKING BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW
AND DRIER LOWER LEVEL AIR SPREADING INTO THE REGION SHOULD ERODE
THAT REMAINING CLOUD COVER IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. SOME FOG IS
POSSIBLE TONIGHT PARTICULARLY AT APN WHERE SKIES ARE CLEAR NOW
AND TEMPS AREA ALREADY IN THE 20S. DON/T HAVE ANY FOG IN THE
TERMINAL FORECASTS AT THIS POINT...BUT SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND.

SATURDAY...EASTERLY FLOW INCREASES THROUGH THE DAY AND ESPECIALLY
IN THE AFTERNOON BRINGING SOME GUSTINESS...WITH GUSTS PUSHING INTO
THE LOWER 20 KNOT RANGE. VFR CONDITIONS WILL LARGELY HOLD THROUGH
THE DAY WITH THICKENING AND LOWERING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS. BUT BAND
OF STRONG WARM ADVECTION WILL SWING UP THROUGH THE REGION DURING
THE AFTERNOON HOURS BRINGING LOWERING CIGS BACK TO THE MVFR RANGE
ALONG WITH A PERIOD OF MIXED RAIN/SNOW/SLEET (DEPENDING ON THE
SITE) FOR A FEW HOURS INTO THE EVENING. PRECIP LOOKING TO END BY
MID EVENING WITH CIGS FURTHER LOWERING TO UNDER 2K FEET AND
PERHAPS SOME DRIZZLE.
