Wind Chill Advisory 1, NWS Marquette, MI

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
334 AM EST SUN JAN 4 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 335 PM EST SAT JAN 3 2015

UPPER MICHIGAN IS CURRENTLY BETWEEN THE STRONGER AND PRECIPITATION
PRODUCING SURFACE/UPPER LEVEL FEATURES. THE REMNANTS OF THE SURFACE
LOW THAT MOVED THROUGH MINNESOTA LAST NIGHT HAS LEFT A SURFACE
TROUGH OVER WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR THIS AFTERNOON. ON THE NORTHWEST
SIDE OF THAT TROUGH...SNOW HAS BEEN FALLING FOR MUCH OF THE DAY IN
THE MINNESOTA ARROWHEAD IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE MID LEVEL Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE AND THE RIGHT REAR OF THE SPLIT NORTHERN STREAM JET
STREAK. FARTHER SOUTH...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A STRONG UPPER
WAVE LIFTING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...WHILE A SECOND
WEAKER WAVE IS NEARING IT FROM THE NORTHWEST IN COLORADO. BETWEEN
THESE TWO FEATURES AND BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE THAT MOVED THROUGH
SOUTHEAST UPPER MICHIGAN LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING (PRODUCING
1-1.5IN OF SNOW NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN)...CLOUDY SKIES PREVAIL OVER
UPPER MICHIGAN. THIS IS DUE TO THE LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
TRAPPED BELOW THE DRYING ALOFT BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE. ONCE THE DEEPER
MOISTURE DEPARTED WITH THE SHORTWAVE...SAW A TRANSITION TO BR AND
REDUCED VISIBILITIES ON THE AUTOMATED STATIONS. CALLING AROUND TO
THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CWA HAS SHOWN A TRANSITION FROM WEST TO
EAST ALONG THE WISCONSIN BORDER TO FREEZING DRIZZLE OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF HOURS. FARTHER NORTH AT OUR OFFICE...WE HAVE BEEN JUST
SEEING A FEW FLURRIES DUE TO CLOUD LAYER BEING RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF
THE MORE FAVORABLE ICE CRYSTAL REGION. EXPECT THIS
BORDERLINE/LIMITED CONDITION TO CONTINUE OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEASTERN CWA INTO THE EVENING HOURS AND WILL SHOW THE POTENTIAL
FOR FREEZING DRIZZLE IN THE FORECAST. WILL ISSUE AN SPS TO
HIGHLIGHT THE FREEZING DRIZZLE AND UNTREATED ROADS BECOMING
SLIPPERY FOR THE AREAS NOT CURRENTLY COVERED BY THE ADVISORY.
OTHERWISE...EXPECT THE FREEZING DRIZZLE TO DIMINISH FROM WEST TO
EAST THIS EVENING AS THE DEEPER MOISTURE FROM THE FEATURE OVER
WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR MOVES OVER THE U.P. TONIGHT.

THE STRONG TROUGH IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL LIFT NORTHEAST
THROUGH THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION TONIGHT...STRENGTHENING A LOW
FROM 1007MB OVER SOUTHERN ILLINOIS TO 998MB BETWEEN LAKE
ERIE/ONTARIO AT 12Z SUNDAY. AS THAT OCCURS...THE MID LEVEL TROUGH
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN LAKE WILL
DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS UPPER MICHIGAN THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. THE
SYNOPTIC LIQUID EQUIVALENT PRECIPITATION (TIED TO THE 850-650MB
FGEN) LOOKS TO BE IN THE 0.10-0.15 INCH RANGE FOR MOST OF THE CWA
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. SNOW RATIOS INITIALLY WILL LIKELY BE AROUND
10-15 TO 1 AS THERE IS STILL A PERIOD OF THE CLOUD BEING ABOVE/BELOW
THE DGZ. BUT THERE WILL LIKELY BE A TRANSITION TO A BRIEF (2-4HR)
PERIOD LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WHEN THE LOWEST 10-12KFT OF
THE ATMOSPHERE IS WITHIN THE DGZ. THIS WOULD LEAD TO A PERIOD OF
FLUFFIER SNOW AND RATIOS RISING TOWARDS OR EVEN ABOVE 20-1. DON/T
FEEL COMFORTABLE GOING MUCH ABOVE THAT DUE TO THE FORCING THAT IS
EXPECTED ABOVE THE DGZ. THUS...SYNOPTIC SNOW WOULD AMOUNT TO
1 TO 2.5-3.0 INCHES...WITH THE GREATEST OVER THE WEST HALF. BUT AS
IS NORMALLY THE CASE WITH LAKE SUPERIOR AND OUR TERRAIN
INFLUENCES...THAT ISN/T THE COMPLETE STORY ON THE SNOWFALL.

MUCH COLDER AIR WILL SURGE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT BEHIND THE
850-700MB TROUGH...WITH 850MB TEMPS FALLING FROM 19Z RAP ANALYZED
OF -5C TO -7C TO -19C EAST AND -24C WEST BY 18Z SUNDAY. THIS WILL
LEAD TO LAKE ENHANCEMENT DEVELOPING FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT AND
THEN TRANSITIONING TO PURE LAKE EFFECT AS THE DEEPER MOISTURE
DEPARTS ON SUNDAY. THE HELP FROM THE LAKE WILL BE FOCUSED IN THE
NORTHERLY WIND LOCATIONS OF THE WEST AND NORTH CENTRAL TONIGHT AND
THEN WINDS BACK TO THE NORTHWEST SUNDAY MORNING AND WEST-NORTHWEST
BY SUNDAY EVENING. WITH THAT COLD AIR SURGING IN...THE CLOUD LAYER
ON SUNDAY WILL TRANSITION TO BEING ABOVE THE DGZ. THUS...WOULD
EXPECT A TRANSITION OF THE SNOWFLAKES TO COLUMNS/PLATES AND LOWER
SNOW RATIOS BELOW 20-1. CONTINUED THE TREND TOWARDS THE HIGH
RESOLUTION MODELS FOR QPF AMOUNTS TONIGHT/SUNDAY IN THE
LAKE/TERRAIN ENHANCED AREAS (0.25-0.40 IN). THIS LEADS TO SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS OF 3-5 INCHES OF SNOW TONIGHT OVER THE FAVORED NORTH WIND
AREAS OVER THE WEST AND NORTH CENTRAL. THERE COULD BE SOME
LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS TOWARDS 5.5-6.0 INCHES. THE LOWERING RATIOS
ON SUNDAY WILL LEAD TO LOWER AMOUNTS OVER THE WEST...BUT COULD
STILL SEE 2-5 INCHES IN THE FAVORED NORTHWEST WINDS AREAS OVER THE
EAST. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW...WINDS WILL QUICKLY INCREASE FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST TONIGHT...WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 30 TO 45 MPH
(HIGHEST NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR). THAT WILL LEAD TO BLOWING SNOW AND
COMBINED WITH THE EXPECTED SNOW...SHOULD SEE VISIBILITIES
FREQUENTLY REDUCED BELOW ONE MILE OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE
CWA. THUS...THINK THE GOING ADVISORY LOOKS GOOD WITH THE FORECASTED
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AND IMPACT WITH THE REDUCED VISIBILITIES FROM
BLOWING SNOW. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THINK SOME HIGHER TERRAIN
LOCATIONS FLIRTING WITH 12HR WARNING SNOWFALL AMOUNTS (DUE TO THE
OVERALL AVERAGE SNOW RATIO BEING JUST BELOW OUR LAKE EFFECT WARNING
CRITERIA). BUT WITH MUCH OF THE SNOW FALLING ON A WEEKEND
OVERNIGHT AND THE EXPECTED COVERAGE FAIRLY LOCALIZED...WILL KEEP
THE ADVISORY IN PLACE.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM EST SUN JAN 4 2015

SOMEWHAT REPETITIOUS PATTERN THIS WEEK AS WE WILL SEE THREE SURGES
OF COLD AIR...WITH SFC RIDGING BETWEEN THESE SURGES. PATTERN LOOKS
TO POSSIBLY MODIFY FRI INTO NEXT WEEKEND...BUT MODEL DIFFERENCES
KEEPS CONFIDENCE IN THIS OCCURRING LOW. OTHERWISE...CONFIDENCE IS
GOOD MON THROUGH THU NIGHT.

12Z MON WILL BE A VERY COLD START TO A VERY COLD DAY AS THE FIRST
BLAST OF COLD AIR WILL BE OVER THE AREA. HIGH TEMPS MON ARE ONLY
EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 10F AT COPPER HARBOR AND FROM GRAND MARAIS E
TO AROUND -5F OVER THE INTERIOR W HALF OF UPPER MI. WIND CHILLS AT
18Z MON ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM -15F E TO -25F W. NW WIND LES
WILL BE ONGOING...BUT WILL WEAKEN AND BECOME CONFINED TO THE
KEWEENAW AND FAR NERN UPPER MI LATE IN THE DAY INTO MON NIGHT AS A
SFC RIDGE MOVES THROUGH AHEAD OF SFC TROUGH MOVING IN FROM THE NW. A
CLIPPER ALSO LOOKS TO MOVE S OF THE CWA...KEEP ALL OR MOST OF THE
PRECIP FROM THE SYSTEM S OF THE CWA. THE VERY COLD AIR WILL MEAN THE
IDEAL DGZ WILL NOT BE TAPPED INTO AND SNOWFLAKE SIZE WILL BE QUITE
SMALL...WHICH WILL RESULT IN VIS REDUCTIONS IN LES AREAS.
ALSO...WINDS WILL BE GUSTY NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR ON MON...LEADING TO
FURTHER VIS REDUCTIONS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE KEWEENAW PENINSULA. NOT
LOOKING AT ANYTHING MORE THAN NUISANCE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS GIVEN
BACKING FLOW WITH TIME AND LOW SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS. LOWS MON NIGHT
WILL RANGE FROM THE LOW SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO ALONG PARTS OF THE
LAKE SUPERIOR SHORE TO AROUND -15F INTERIOR W AND CENTRAL.

LOW LEVEL WINDS TURN NWLY AGAIN TUE INTO EARLY WED AS THE SECOND
COLD WAVE MOVES THROUGH. EXPECT AN UPTICK IN LES IN NW WIND
SNOWBELTS...WITH INCREASED WINDS/BLOWING SNOW. COULD SEE ADVISORY
LEVEL EVENT TUE INTO EARLY WED AS FLOW WILL BE MORE CONSTANT...WITH
THE MAIN HAZARD BEING REDUCED VIS DUE TO LOW SLR AND BLOWING SNOW.
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE GREATER THAN ON MONDAY...BUT WILL STILL
BE LIMITED BY THE SMALL FLAKE SIZE. TUE WILL BE WARMER WITH HIGHS
MOSTLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO. LOW TUE NIGHT WILL BE
SIMILAR TO MON NIGHT. HIGH TEMPS ON WED LOOK SIMILAR TO MON.

ANOTHER RIDGE MOVES THROUGH LATE WED INTO EARLY THU...PUSHING LES
INTO MORE NRN PORTIONS OF THE CWA.

MODELS DEPICT ANOTHER CLIPPER MOVING INTO THE REGION...BUT THIS TIME
ACROSS THE CWA. ONLY MINOR SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE
CLIPPER AS MODEL QPF IS GENERALLY LESS THAN 0.10 INCHES.
HOWEVER...BEHIND THE CLIPPER IS THE THIRD WAVE OF COLD AIR AND NW
LOW LEVEL WINDS. LES WILL INCREASE IN NW WIND SNOWBELTS BEHIND THE
CLIPPER AND CONTINUE AT LEAST INTO FRI. SLR VALUES AND GUSTY
WINDS/BLOWING SNOW EXPECTED AGAIN. VIS REDUCTIONS REMAIN THE
GREATEST THREAT.

AS MENTIONED EARLIER...CONFIDENCE IS LOWER FRI AND SAT DUE TO POOR
RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY AND MODEL DISAGREEMENT.
&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1149 PM EST SAT JAN 3 2015

WITH GUSTY N TO NW WINDS/BLSN AND SNOW SHOWERS...EXPECT LIFR
CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL OVERNIGHT AT KIWD/KCMX. CONDITIONS AT KIWD
WILL IMPROVE TO IFR LATE THIS MORNING AND TO MVFR LATE IN THE AFTN
AS WINDS BACK SLOWLY AND PUSH MAJORITY OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO JUST N
OF THE TERMINAL. AT KCMX...INCREASINGLY COLDER AIR THRU THE DAY WILL
RESULT IN SNOWFLAKES BECOMING SMALLER AND FINER AND MUCH MORE
EFFECTIVE AT REDUCING VIS. COMBINED WITH GUSTY WINDS/BLSN...KCMX
WILL LIKELY REMAIN LIFR THRU THE MORNING WITH FURTHER REDUCTION TO
VLIFR LIKELY IN THE AFTN AND THRU TONIGHT AS WINDS BACK TO A MORE
FAVORABLE WNW DIRECTION FOR PERSISTENT/HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS. AT
KSAW...IFR CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY FALL TO LIFR OVERNIGHT AS AREA OF
SNOW MOVES ACROSS THE AREA AND IS ENHANCED BY INCREASING UPSLOPE
WIND OFF THE LAKE. EXPECT IMPROVEMENT TO IFR MID TO LATE MORNING AND
THEN MVFR IN THE AFTN AS WINDS BACK...RESULTING IN DIMINISHED
UPSLOPE FLOW OFF THE LAKE.
&&

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 335 PM EST SAT JAN 3 2015

THE BUSY MARINE WEATHER WE HAVE HAD RECENTLY WILL CONTINUE WITH
GALES AND HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY RETURNING AND HOISTED GALE WARNINGS
AND HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNINGS FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. A
COUPLE MORE GALE EVENTS ARE POSSIBLE ON LAKE SUPERIOR TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY MORNING AND AGAIN FOR THURSDAY NIGHT WITH NORTHWEST
GALES EXPECTED THEN. FREEZING SPRAY WILL ALSO BE A PROBLEM THROUGH
MOST OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD.

WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTH LATE TONIGHT AS THE NORTHERN PLAINS
TROUGH MERGES WITH ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LIFTING NORTH OVER
THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. NORTH GALES TO 35-40 KTS ARE EXPECTED
SUNDAY ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF LK SUPERIOR. HEAVY
FREEZING SPRAY WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT AS ARCTIC AIR POURS OVER
LK SUPERIOR. GALES SHOULD DIMINISH BY LATE SUNDAY NIGHT...BUT NW-W
WINDS TO 30 KTS AND HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WILL LINGER THROUGH MONDAY.
W-SW WINDS TO 25 KTS ON TUESDAY AS A CLIPPER SYSTEM CROSSES UPPER
GREAT LAKES. BEHIND THE CLIPPER...PLAN ON ANOTHER ROUND OF NW GALES
AND HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
