AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
1201 AM EST WED DEC 23 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM EST TUE DEC 22 2015

TONIGHT...DRY MID-LVLS WILL KEEP MUCH OF THE FORECAST PCPN FREE
EXCEPT OVER THE FAR WEST WHERE MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW QUICKER
SATURATION CLOSER TO THE SFC TROUGH AXIS AND REGION OF BEST UPPER
DIVERGENCE. INCREASING WAA WITH STRONG LOW-LVL JET MOVING OVER THE
AREA WILL KEEP MIN TEMPS FROM FALLING MUCH FROM TODAY/S HIGHS.
EXCEPT OVER FAR WEST ANY PCPN OCCURRING LATE TONIGHT SHOULD
GENERALLY BE IN FORM OF SPRINKLES AND MAYBE A FEW FLURRIES WEST AS
TEMPS RISE TO FREEZING AND THEN ABOVE FREEZING.

WED...FOCUS IS ON THE SOUTHERN PLAINS SHORTWAVE AND SFC LOW WHICH IS
FORECAST TO TRACK INTO CENTRAL UPPER MI/NORTHERN LK MICHIGAN AREA BY
WED EVENING. ASSOC S-SW H85 JET OF 45-50 KTS TRANSPORTS PWATS FROM
0.75 TO OVER 1 INCH INTO UPPER MI BY WED AFTERNOON. PRECIP INITIALLY
DEVELOPS OVER WEST CWA WED MORNING CLOSER TO SFC LOW TROUGH AND IN
FAVORABLE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF UPPER-LEVEL JET MAX OVER NW
ONTARIO. SOUNDINGS SHOW MID-LEVEL DRY AIR BECOMING SATURATED THROUGH
THE DAY DUE TO INCREASING LARGE SCALE LIFT AHEAD OF APPROACHING MID-
LVL TROUGH FROM THE PLAINS AND DIVERGENCE ALOFT FROM COUPLED JETS
LIFTING ACROSS NORTHERN ONTARIO AND MOVING INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. SEEMS THAT IF THERE IS MUCH PRECIP OCCURRING IN THE MORNING
AWAY FM THE FAR WEST CWA...WOULD PROBABLY BE IN FORM OF DRIZZLE OR
SPRINKLES OVER UPSLOPE AREAS OF THE CNTRL AND ERN CWA IN SE FLOW.
ENOUGH SATURATION OCCURS TO RAMP UP POPS TO CATEGORICAL BY AFTN
ACROSS ALL OF CWA. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE PTYPE SHOULD BE MAINLY
RAIN THROUGH THE DAY EXCEPT FOR A POSSIBLE CHANGEOVER TO SNOW LATE
IN THE DAY FAR WEST. MODEL CONSENSUS SHOWS QPF FROM .4 TO .5 INCHES
ACROSS THE CWA WITH MOST OF THAT FALLING IN THE AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 201 PM EST TUE DEC 22 2015

AT 00Z THURSDAY THE S WINDS OVER THE E HALF OF UPPER MI WILL BE
AROUND THEIR STRONGEST AT 40-60KTS. ITS UNKNOWN HOW MUCH OF THESE
WINDS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO MIX DOWN...BUT EVEN AT THE SFC WINDS
WILL BE 15-25KT INITIALLY. THEY WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE OVERNIGHT...WITH
THE MAIN STORY BEING WEATHER TYPE AND POTENTIAL SNOW AMOUNTS
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE WILL BE
ON THE WAY OUT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. 850MB TEMPS OVER THE E HALF WILL
START OUT ALL THE WAY UP AROUND 8C...BUT WITH A SIGNIFICANT TEMP
GRADIENT IN PLACE THEY WILL HOVER AROUND 0C OVER THE FAR W. WITH
SOME DISCREPANCY IN THE SFC LOW LOCATION /SOMEWHERE FROM NW WI TO
CENTRAL LAKE MI AT 00Z THURSDAY/...GETTING TOO SPECIFIC WITH PRECIP
TYPES SEEMS LIKE A RISK. PLENTY OF COLD AIR WILL BE RUSHING INTO
UPPER MI WITH SNOW BEING THE PRIMARY WX TYPE BY 06Z THURSDAY
OVER THE FAR W AS THE SFC LOW SHIFTS NE OF LAKE SUPERIOR /SOMEWHERE
BETWEEN CENTRAL AND E ONTARIO/. BY 12Z THURSDAY THE LAST HOLD OUT TO
THE COLD AIR SHOULD BE JUST AROUND LAKE MI. THE COOLEST AIR LOOKS TO
BE OVERHEAD THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...WITH
850MB TEMPS OF -7 TO -10C. BLOWING SNOW ON W-WSW FLOW WILL STAY
MAINLY OVER THE KEWEENAW PENINSULA THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY
NIGHT WHILE A RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE S. BY EARLY FRIDAY IT LOOKS
LIKE THE SFC WINDS BECOME A BIT TOO MUCH OUT OF THE SW TO IMPACT
MUCH OF THE KEWEENAW.

OTHERWISE...MUCH OF THE AREA WILL BE DRY CHRISTMAS EVE-CHRISTMAS
DAY. SO FOR LOCATIONS THAT DO NOT ALREADY HAVE SIGNIFICANT SNOW...IT
LOOKS LIKE A BROWN CHRISTMAS FOR MANY AWAY FROM THE KEWEENAW.

PRECIP WILL AGAIN NEAR FROM THE SW LATE FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY
MORNING. THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD WILL SHIFT TO THE LOWER
GREAT LAKES FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND TO THE NEW ENGLAND STATES BY
DAYBREAK SATURDAY. IN THE MEANTIME A SIZABLE TROUGH WILL FILTER UP
ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES FROM THE LOW OVER SW TX...WHILE THE S
EXTENT OF THE 500MB TROUGH SET UP ACROSS THE W HALF OF THE NATION
FOR MUCH OF THIS PERIOD CUTS OFF FROM THE MAIN FLOW. THE 500MB LOW
WILL SINK ACROSS TX THROUGH SUNDAY...WHILE A N FLOW BUT WEAKER
TROUGH SWINGS ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES. THE TROUGH LOOKS TO PUSH
TO OUR E SATURDAY EVENING...ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE N PLAINS
TO FILTER INTO THE AREA. THIS AND THE SLOWER MOVEMENT OF THE S
PLAINS LOW SHOULD KEEP THE CWA DRY SUNDAY AND INTO MUCH OF MONDAY.
THE GFS IS THE QUICKEST TO WRAP PRECIP BACK IN BY MONDAY
EVENING...IN THE FORM OF SNOW AS 850MB TEMPS ARE -7 TO -12C. THERE
IS ABOUT A 24HR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF. AT THIS POINT
THE 500MB LOOKS TO BEGIN TO EJECT N SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY. THE TREND
IS FOR A SLOWER TRACK...BUT WILL STILL PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY WILL
KEEP WITH AN OVERALL BLENDED SOLUTION...WITH A LEAN TOWARD THE 12Z
GUIDANCE. BY 00Z TUESDAY THE LAST 2 GFS SOLUTIONS PUT THE 500MB LOW
OVER W WI OR N IL...WHILE THE ECMWF SOLUTIONS PRIOR TO THE 12Z RUN
WOULD KEEP IT OVER N TX-NE OK. THE 12Z ECMWF CAME IN WITH A MORE
MIDDLE GROUND SOLUTTION BETWEEN THE GFS SOLUTIONS AND THE PREVIOUS
ECMWF RUNS. THE 500MB LOW WILL LIKELY PUSH ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES SOMETIME TUESDAY...BUT IT/S UNKNOWN IF THAT WILL BE EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING OR LATER TUESDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1201 AM EST WED DEC 23 2015

WITH A DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT TO THE SSE WIND....KIWD AND KCMX SHOULD
REMAIN VFR OVERNIGHT WHILE UPSLOPING SSE WIND WILL RESULT IN LIFR
CONDITIONS AT KSAW. LLWS IS EXPECTED AT ALL TERMINALS THRU THE
NIGHT. AS LIGHT RAIN SPREADS NNE INTO THE AREA TODAY IN ASSOCIATION
WITH DEEPENING LOW PRES LIFTING INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES...
CONDITIONS WILL FALL TO LIFR AT KIWD/KCMX AND REMAIN LIFR AT KSAW.
LIFR WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HRS AS THE LOW MOVES ACROSS
UPPER MI. COLDER AIR FOLLOWING THE LOW WILL RESULT IN -RA CHANGING
