Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
345 PM EST Fri Nov 18 2016

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight)
Issued at 342 PM EST Fri Nov 18 2016

...Relatively calm before the storm...

High Impact Weather Potential...Winds ramping up to Gales overnight
and rain, with some thunder (not severe) moving through

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...The sfc low is in NW Wisconsin with the
500 mb low in C Minnesota. The graident has tightened up, but not as
much as thought, and with less mixing, so it has taken longer for
the sfc winds begin to be sustained above 10 kts and gust past
20, even in NW Lower. however, an intial sfc trough is moving up N
Lake Michigan and is producing some rain showers/isolated thunder.

Primary Forecast Concerns...Main concerns are the winds overnight,
and the thunder possibility this evening.

The thunder looks short lived as the models have the elevated
instability this evening, just ahead of the occluded front. The
timing of the front looks to pass locations west of I-75 between
00z and 03z and places east of I-75 between 03z and 06z. Once it
is through, temperatures at the lower levels fall from the cold
advection stabilizing the soundings. While the thunderstorms
aren't expected to be severe, there is a concern that while
showers/thunderstorms move through the region that one of them
could mix down some of the higher momentum air. However, think
that this would be the low end probability rather than the rule.

Otherwise, as the cold air moves across, winds will begin to veer to
the W, and the winds will begin to increase, as the mixing increases
from the cold advection overnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Saturday through Sunday night)
Issued at 342 PM EST Fri Nov 18 2016

...Windy...colder...and turning snowy this weekend...

High Impact Weather Potential: First widespread accumulating snow
Saturday and Saturday night along with impact associated with strong
north/northwest winds.  Fairly certain to be travel impacts
Saturday afternoon/night.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Current North American pattern shows a
negative tilt short wave trough lifting northeast this afternoon
across the midwest...with a larger upper low out over the eastern
Pacific approaching 130W.  The midwest trough will be responsible
for ending our extended run of warm weather (mean temperatures
running 7-11F above normal through the first 17 days of the month)
as it swings through the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley Saturday and
closes off over the lower Lakes and New England Sunday.

Surface low continues to deepen over the upper Mississippi Valley
this afternoon...down to 997mb over southeast Minnesota.  Strong
cold front extends south along the Mississippi River...solid 30
degree temperature gradient across the baroclinic zone in
Missouri...warm front extends east across the Straits region. System
is on a track across Lake Superior overnight...but a small surface
disturbance hangs back over eastern Lake Superior Saturday morning
and drifts into Lake Huron Saturday afternoon (possibly a response
to lake convection/instability).  The upshot of this is that it will
keep a tight pressure gradient across Michigan into Saturday night.
Strong cyclonic flow will persist across the state Sunday...
weakening Sunday night as high pressure tries to muscle in from the
west though it will be slowed by the storm now over New England/
Atlantic Canada (with an assist from lake aggregate effects
maintaining cyclonic flow across the upper Lakes).

Primary Forecast Concerns: Saturday is the primary forecast concern.
Cold air will be flooding across the upper Lakes prior to daybreak
Saturday morning...and a combination of deep synoptic moisture
wrapping around the storm system crossing the upper Lakes and
decreasing overwater stability will set the stage for lake enhanced
precipitation across northern Michigan Saturday into Saturday night
(with a transition toward pure lake convection early Sunday
morning).  Cold advection and increasing precipitation intensity is
expected to change precipitation over to mainly snow across much of
northwest Lower Michigan/far western Chippewa and Mackinac counties
during the morning...with the changeover to snow spreading east
during the afternoon wears on.  The tricky spot will be along the
Lake Michigan shoreline from Manistee up to Little Traverse Bay
where the warm marine layer (with Lake Michigan water temperatures
still in the lower 50s) will battle against precipitation intensity
in determining whether rain or snow falls.  Precipitation should
eventually change over to all snow Saturday evening...with snow
showers continuing into Sunday though with a decrease in intensity
as mid levels dry out and subsidence inversion drops.  Snow
accumulations in the 4-8 inch range possible in a swath from
Charlevoix county south to Wexford/Missaukee counties by daybreak
Sunday...and anticipating a snowfall gradient from west-east toward
the I-75 corridor.  Across eastern Upper...more likely 1-4 inches
with higher amounts west of I-75 given a more northerly component to
the low level trajectories across eastern Lake Superior.  Given that
plus wind potential (detailed below)...will be adding some land
based headlines to the mix with this forecast package.  Winter Storm
Warnings will be issued for Antrim/Kalkaska/Grand Traverse counties
from Saturday morning through Saturday night.  This will be
surrounded by an area of Winter Weather Advisories for Charlevoix/
Otsego/Crawford/Missaukee/Wexford/Manistee/Benzie/Leelanau counties.
The latter three counties will likely have a west-east snowfall
gradient across them depending on how much the marine layer can
impact precip type during the day...but winds are expected to be
strongest across this corridor.  Travel difficulties should increase
during the afternoon as temperatures fall to or below freezing...
with an increase in snow intensity and plenty of wind to blow things
around.

Winds are expected to already be gusting over 40 mph along the Lake
Michigan shoreline counties of northwest Lower and western Mackinac
county at the onset of this forecast...with a tightening gradient
and deepening mixed layer spreading this momentum eastward as the
day progresses.  Wind gusts 40-50mph likely across western
Chippewa/Mackinac counties and northwest Lower by early afternoon...
with 50+mph gusts along the northwest Lower shoreline increasing to
near 60mph by Saturday evening.  Winds will remain strong through
midnight...then slacken just a bit as boundary layer momentum
decreases during the early morning hours Sunday.  But wind gusts 25-
35+mph are still in the offing through Sunday afternoon...with winds
continuing to diminish Sunday night.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 342 PM EST Fri Nov 18 2016

Monday...expect mainly dry conditions across northern Michigan as
the weekend storm system becomes more focused on New England and the
north Atlantic. Some lake influences will continue along portions of
the Lake Michigan shoreline during the morning hours...as cyclonic
flow on the backside of the storm system weakens across the Great
Lakes. Model soundings show sufficient over lake instability through
15z Monday as 850mb temps linger around -9c...before quickly warming
to -4c during the afternoon. Any pcpn early Monday will be light and
limited as model soundings show extremely dry conds in mid and upper
levels...with any moisture trapped below 850mb at temps warmer than
-10c. An area of high pressure will then push into the Great lakes
through the day...before becoming centered over the state Monday
night. Overall will mention a flurry or two in the morning around
Manistee and Cadillac otherwise dry with sun developing for the rest
of the day and evening. Cold afternoon highs around freezing.

Tuesday through Friday...progressive pattern continues aloft with
500mb board narrow ridge over the Great Lakes Monday night and
Tuesday...before a sharp upper trough redevelops over the region
Wednesday and Thursday. 850mb temps in this upper flow...warm to
around 2c Tuesday in the ridge with 850mb temps falling back to
around -4c by mid week through Friday. This will generate seasonal
temperatures across northern Michigan through the period. At the
surface...a narrow area of high pressure over the region Tuesday
will exit east...as a another central Plains storm system lifts into
the Ohio Valley Thursday and Friday. This pattern will generate
mainly dry conditions Tuesday...with several chances for rain and
snow across northern Michigan through the rest of the week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 100 PM EST Fri Nov 18 2016

Have had to extend the Low level wind shear out a few more hours
as the strong inversion has capped the mixing so far. Will expect
that better mixing with the heating this afternoon and the cold
front moving into NW Lower by 21z will begin to let loose the
gusts and provide a steadier transition for the winds from the sfc
to 3000 feet.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 342 PM EST Fri Nov 18 2016

Will be upgrading Lake Michigan nearshore zones south of the Straits
of Mackinac to Storm Warnings...in effect for Saturday/Saturday
night.  Gale Warnings will remain in place for most zones through
Saturday night...Lake Huron nearshore zones (outside of the Straits)
will likely have gale force winds into Sunday night.
