AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
119 PM EST WED JAN 7 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1047 AM EST WED JAN 7 2015

STRONG HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM STRETCHES FROM THE PLAINS INTO THE
GREAT LAKES THIS MORNING...WITH A POCKET OF ARCTIC AIR SLIDING
DOWN THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. REGIONAL ANALYSIS REVEALS A SHARP
TROUGH AXIS ALIGNED FROM EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR DOWN THROUGH NRN
LAKE MICHIGAN AND CUTTING DOWN THROUGH THE GRAND TRAVERSE BAY
AREA...REINFORCED BY VERY COLD AIR AND RESULTING BUBBLE HIGH THAT
FORMED EARLY THIS MORNING INLAND ACROSS EASTERN UPPER AND NE
LOWER MICHIGAN. INTENSE DOMINANT BAND STUCK WITHIN THAT AXIS ALSO
EXTENDS FROM NRN LAKE MICHIGAN DOWN THROUGH THE GRAND TRAVERSE BAY
AREA WITH A DEFINITE LAKE SUPERIOR CONNECTION. THIS BAND HAS
RESULTED IN SOME RATHER NASTY WEATHER ACROSS THE LEELANAU PENINSULA
DOWN THROUGH TRAVERSE CITY THIS MORNING...WITH WHITEOUT CONDITIONS
OCCURRING WITHIN THE BAND.

REST OF TODAY...INLAND "WARMING" AND SUBTLE BACKING TO THE LOW
LEVEL MEAN FLOW WILL ALLOW THE AFOREMENTIONED DOMINANT LAKE BAND TO
WEAKEN AND DRIFT BACK EASTWARD WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS...WHILE
LIGHTER LAKE INDUCED SNOW SHOWERS WILL ALSO SPREAD BACK INLAND
THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENT ADVISORY IS SLATED TO EXPIRE AT NOON WHICH
WILL BE CLOSE TIMING- WISE IN TERMS OF THE WORST OF THE
CONDITIONS. BUT CURRENT PLAN IS TO ALLOW ADVISORIES (INCLUDING
WIND CHILL HEADLINES) TO EXPIRE ON SCHEDULE AND WILL HANDLE ANY
REMAINING HIGHER IMPACT SNOW SHOWERS/BLOWING SNOW WITH SPECIAL
WEATHER STATEMENTS. IF FOR NOTHING ELSE THAN TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE
NEXT ROUND OF HEADLINES THAT WILL BE NEEDED FOR TOMORROW.

&&

.NEAR TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 408 AM EST WED JAN 7 2015

...BRUTALLY COLD TODAY WITH LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS...

ARCTIC AIR CONTINUES TO SURGE INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE DEPARTING
FRONT. THE COMBINATION OF COLD TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY WINDS WILL
LEAD TO VERY LOW WIND CHILLS TODAY...ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING. HENCE
THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH NOON. MEANWHILE AS FAR AS
LAKE EFFECT GOES...THE FLOW BACKS FROM NORTH NORTHWEST THIS MORNING
INTO THE NORTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON THEN INTO THE WEST BY LATER THIS
EVENING AND HOLDS OUT OF THE WEST OVERNIGHT (IT MAY EVEN GO SLIGHTLY
SOUTH OF WEST LATE). MOISTURE SLOWLY WANES THROUGH THE DAY WITH AN
UPTICK THIS EVENING BEFORE DRIER AIR ADVECTS IN OVERNIGHT. SO EXPECT
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS TO BE SHIFTING AROUND TODAY THEN WANING
TONIGHT. THE HIGHEST ACCUMULATIONS ARE STILL EXPECTED ALONG AND WEST
OF U.S. 131 WHERE GENERALLY 2 TO 4 INCHES OF ACCUMULATION IS
EXPECTED EXCEPT FOR 3 TO 6 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN A
LIKELY DOMINANT AND CONVERGENT BAND THIS MORNING EXTENDING FROM
GRAND TRAVERSE BAY SOUTH SOUTHEAST TO NEAR CADILLAC (WHICH WILL
BE ABLE TO TAP BOTH LAKE SUPERIOR AND LAKE MICHIGAN). OTHER AREAS
WILL GENERALLY SEE LESS THAN AN INCH. MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA
WILL CONTINUE TO SEE AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW THROUGH
TONIGHT AS WINDS REMAIN ON THE GUSTY SIDE. LAKE EFFECT SNOW
ADVISORIES WILL REMAIN AS IS THROUGH NOON EXCEPT FOR TO TAKE
OTSEGO AND CRAWFORD COUNTIES OUT AS ACTIVITY SHIFTS JUST OFF TO
THE WEST BUT WILL ADD THESE TWO COUNTIES INTO THE WIND CHILL
ADVISORY. ANOTHER WIND CHILL ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED TONIGHT (AS
WIND CHILL VALUES HEAD TOWARD -20 AND A LITTLE BELOW) BUT WILL LET
THE DAYSHIFT MAKE THE CALL ON THAT ONE. HIGHS TODAY ONLY RANGING
FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO INLAND TO BETWEEN 10 AND 12
ABOVE NEAR THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE. LOWS TONIGHT IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS ABOVE AND BELOW ZERO.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 408 AM EST WED JAN 7 2015

...QUICK HITTING BUT SIGNIFICANT LAKE ENHANCED EVENT THURSDAY...

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL: SIGNIFICANT TRAVEL IMPACT EXPECTED
THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHWEST LOWER
MICHIGAN WITH A COMBINATION OF HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES AND
CONSIDERABLE BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW/WHITEOUT CONDITIONS. TRANSITION
TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS BY FRIDAY...SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS
POSSIBLE PARTS OF CHIPPEWA COUNTY. REMAINS COLD WITH SINGLE DIGIT
TEMPERATURES FRIDAY AND BELOW ZERO WIND CHILLS.

PATTERN SYNOPSIS/FORECAST: DEEP LONG WAVE TROUGH ENCOMPASSING MUCH
OF NORTH AMERICA...SAVE FOR SOME RIDGING FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST
INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA...WITH CROSS POLAR FLOW DUMPING COLD AIR INTO
THE U.S.  ELONGATED 150KT JET STREAM STRETCHES ALONG THE TROUGH FROM
SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN ALL THE WAY OUT ACROSS THE NORTH ATLANTIC TO
20W LONGITUDE.  1055MB ARCTIC CENTERED ALONG THE ALBERTA/
SASKATCHEWAN BORDER...RIDGING SOUTHEAST THE THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY.   WEAK LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC...WITH A
TRAILING COLD FRONT/THERMAL TROUGH EXTENDING THROUGH THE STRAITS
REGION INTO WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR.

NORTH AMERICAN LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL BE REINFORCED BY CURRENT COLD
AIR ADVECTION INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH...AND A COUPLE OF SHORT
WAVE TROUGHS EMERGING FROM THE ARCTIC.  ONE OF THESE SHORT WAVE
TROUGHS WILL SWING THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY...FOLLOWED BY A WEAK SECONDARY PIECE OF ENERGY ALSO IN THE
FRIDAY TIME FRAME.  OUT AHEAD OF THE LEADING SHORT WAVE TROUGH...
LOW/MID LEVEL ADVECTION DEVELOPS LATER TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY.  THIS
WILL BE FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER ARCTIC COLD FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT WITH A
REINFORCING BLAST OF COLD AIR FOR FRIDAY.

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS: POTENTIAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL PASSING
SHORT WAVE THURSDAY...WITH POSSIBILITY FOR A BRIEF WINDOW OF
SIGNIFICANT ENHANCED SNOWFALL OFF LAKE MICHIGAN.  RETURN OF COLD
TEMPERATURES FOR FRIDAY.

THURSDAY/FRIDAY...THURSDAY DAWNS WITH LOW LEVEL FLOW HAVING BACKED
AROUND TO A SOUTHWEST/WEST DIRECTION WITH GOOD VEERING WITH HEIGHT
IN WARM ADVECTION PATTERN...850MB TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO HAVE
WARMED INTO THE MID TEENS BELOW ZERO AND DRIER AIR/LOWERING
INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL ALL COMBINE TO BRING A RELATIVE LULL IN THE
INTENSITY OF LAKE CONVECTION...BUT A SHOT OF WARM ADVECTION PRECIP
WILL OVERSPREAD THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE MID-LATE AFTERNOON
HOURS AND CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING BEFORE LIFTING OUT. SNOWFALL
WILL BE ENHANCED BY SOUTHWEST FLOW OFF LAKE MICHIGAN...AND
CONCERNED THERE WILL BE A PERIOD FROM MID AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE
EVENING OF NASTY CONDITIONS ALONG AND WEST OF THE US-131 CORRIDOR.
COMBINATION OF SNOWFALL RATES 1+ INCH/HR AND WIND GUSTS ESPECIALLY
NEAR THE LAKESHORE OF 30-40MPH LIKELY WILL MAKE FOR EXTREMELY
HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS (WHITEOUT CONDITIONS ALONG US-31/M-22
COME TO MIND AS POTENTIAL PROBLEM AREAS).  CURRENT HAVE PAINTED IN
AN AREA OF 4-8 INCHES OF SNOW WEST OF THE I-75 CORRIDOR...AND
HEAVIEST ALONG-WEST OF M-37 FOR CAD-TVC-FKS-MBL.  AS THE SYNOPTIC
PRECIP WANES...WILL TRANSITION BACK TO MORE PURE LAKE CONVECTION
WITH AN INTERESTING SET UP FOR AS LAKE INDUCED LOW LEVEL THERMAL
RIDGING OVERTOPPED BY COLD MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES SETTING UP A
POTENTIALLY DEEP CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY LAYER (PERHAPS ABOVE 700MB) AS
WINDS COME BACK AROUND TO 310-320 DEGREES OVERNIGHT.  SO ANOTHER
COUPLE INCHES POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHWEST FLOW SNOW
BELTS.

GIVEN CONCERNS ABOUT POSSIBLY DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS DEVELOPING
ACROSS AT LEAST NORTHWEST LOWER THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING...THE
IDEA OF ISSUING A SHORT WINDOW WINTER STORM WATCH WAS PONDERED.  BUT
GIVEN THE HEADLINES OUT FOR THIS MORNING'S EVENT OVER THE SAME AREA
TO BE IMPACTED TOMORROW...DECIDED AFTER COORDINATING WITH GRR TO
HOLD OFF AND COVER ONE EVENT AT A TIME.  WILL HIT THE POTENTIAL
HARDER IN OTHER PRODUCTS.

ARCTIC AIR ADVECTING BACK ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY...SUB-500DM
THICKNESSES FORECAST BY AFTERNOON.  THIS WILL KEEP LAKE SNOW SHOWERS
GOING...THOUGH WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES FALLING BACK BELOW -20C WILL
START TO GET BACK INTO ISSUES WITH SNOWFLAKE SIZE AND ACCUMULATION
EFFICIENCY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER AS FETCH SHORTENS
DURING FRIDAY.  BUT COULD SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER MULTI-LAKE
(LAKE SUPERIOR TO LAKE HURON) DOMINANT BAND TO SET UP GIVEN
FAVORABLE KINEMATIC/THERMODYNAMIC FIELDS (WHICH ALSO MAY CLIP
PRESQUE ISLE/ALPENA COUNTIES FRIDAY MORNING THOUGH PROBABLY A BIT
EARLY TO GET INTO THOSE MESOSCALE ISSUES)...BUT COULD SEE A FAIR BIT
OF SNOW ACROSS WESTERN/CENTRAL CHIPPEWA COUNTY FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT (PERHAPS 3-6 INCHES FRIDAY...AND SIMILAR AMOUNTS FRIDAY NIGHT
THOUGH CONCENTRATED MORE NORTH OF M-28).  EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO
REMAIN STEADY OR SLOWLY FALL THROUGH THE SINGLE DIGITS...AND WIND
CHILLS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO MID TEENS BELOW ZERO.

&&

FURTHER DIMINISH IN INTENSITY.

WINDS...GUSTY NW/NNW WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH
GUSTS OF 20 TO 30 KNOTS COMMON. WINDS WILL BACK MORE WESTERLY
