Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
316 PM EST Sun Dec 18 2016

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight and Monday)
Issued at 311 PM EST Sun Dec 18 2016

...Diminishing Lake Effect Tonight...

High impact weather potential: Increasing southwest winds on Monday
may create areas of reduced visibility and blowing snow.

Primary forecast concerns:  Lingering lake effect tonight into
Monday.  Low wind chills tonight which may get close to advisory
criteria.  Increasing southwest winds and possible blowing snow on
Monday.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Low level winds continue to back tonight
into Monday as surface high pressure slips through the Ohio Valley
with northern stream shortwave pushing across southern Canada. Still
plenty of overlake instability tonight but limited moisture and
lowering inversions will limit the coverage/intensity of snow
showers.  Focus will gradually shift toward the Tip of the Mitt into
the Straits overnight, with additional light accumulations likely.
Enough mixing overnight with increasing southwest winds to keep low
temperatures somewhat in check, with lows in the single digits above
or below zero (which is still really cold!).  Wind chill readings
will be in the minus teens and may get close to advisory criteria.

Temperatures continue to warm aloft on Monday as low level southwest
flow strengthens.  Despite decreasing delta t/s and with limited
moisture, expect at least some continuing weak southwest flow lake
effect.  Gradient continues to tighten which will result in
developing gusty southwest wines gusting 25kts at times.  This will
create areas of blowing snow with potentially some reduced
visibilities in open areas.  These winds will also result in wind
chill readings near or slightly below zero at times despite high
temperatures near 20.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Monday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 311 PM EST Sun Dec 18 2016

...Windy Monday night into Tuesday...

High pressure slips off to the east Monday night as an Alberta
clipper moves by to our north Tuesday. The surface pressure gradient
between these two system will really tighten up leading to areas of
blowing snow. Another Alberta Clipper tracking farther south will
bring a better chance for snow showers Wednesday afternoon. The main
short term forecast concerns revolve around wind speeds and pops.

Monday night...Just a slight chance for a few lingering southwest
flow lake effect snow showers off of Lake Michigan into Mackinac
County but over lake instability is marginal to start and decreasing
through the evening. Otherwise...southwest winds will become strong
and gusty leading to areas of blowing and drifting snow.
Temperatures will remain nearly steady (or slowly rise) through the
middle teens to lower 20s.

Tuesday...The Alberta Clipper moves by to our north leading to a
chance for a few snow showers across northern zones. In addition,
continued areas of blowing and drifting snow from more gusty
southwest winds. Highs in the milder lower and middle 30s.

Tuesday night...Perhaps a lingering snow shower or two early,
otherwise diminishing winds and mild with lows only in the middle
20s.

Wednesday...Another Alberta Clipper tracking farther south will
bring a better chance for snow showers (better chance at night).
Remaining mild with highs in the lower and middle 30s.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 311 PM EST Sun Dec 18 2016

High Impact Weather Potential: A mid to late week system could
bring low end advisory level snows to portions of northern lower.

Temperatures will continue to run near to slightly above normal
through the extended, with hints of another cool down starting as
early as Sunday. While scattered snow will occur at various times
through the period, Thursday continues to look like the most likely
day for accumulations that could get to low end advisory levels.
Will need to keep an eye on a system developing in the central
plains and possibly affecting the area as early as Monday. It sits
just out side of the timeframe for this period, but given the
possible timing with the holiday it's worth a mention at this point.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1219 PM EST Sun Dec 18 2016

Lake effect snow showers will gradually weaken into this evening
as moisture diminishes across northern Michigan. By this evening,
the main focus for any remaining lake effect will be toward the
Tip of the Mitt (PLN) under the direction of W/SW low level flow.
Conditions will vary from VFR to MVFR around snow shower activity. Winds
gusting to 10 to 20 kts today will diminish to 10 kts or less by
evening.

The gradient will increase on Monday ahead of our next
weather system. Southwest winds will becoming gusty around 25kts
at times, resulting in areas of blowing snow and possibly reduced
visibilities.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 311 PM EST Sun Dec 18 2016

An extended period of gale force wind gusts are likely on
the nearshore waters of Lake Michigan and Whitefish Bay on Lake
Superior starting Monday afternoon and continuing into Tuesday
evening. SCA conditions will be likely within the Lake Huron
nearshore waters during this time.  This upcoming week will feature
several other potential wind makers and additional marine headlines
are likely for the middle and end of the week.
