AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
315 AM EST WED FEB 17 2016

.NEAR TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 314 AM EST WED FEB 17 2016

...COLD TODAY BUT WARMER WEATHER AHEAD...

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL: NONE.

PATTERN OVERVIEW: WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALS SHORT WAVE TROUGH AXIS
PUSHING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES THIS MORNING. SFC COLD FRONT THAT
PASSED DOWN THROUGH NRN MICHIGAN OVERNIGHT NOW PUSHING DOWN THROUGH
SRN LOWER MICHIGAN WITH A SECONDARY TROUGH AXIS STRETCHING BACK
ACROSS NRN LAKE HURON AND INTO SRN LAKE SUPERIOR. LIGHT SYNOPTIC
SNOWFALL HAS ENDED...BUT SOME LINGERING LAKE SNOW SHOWERS REMAIN.
JUST UPSTREAM...STRONG SFC HIGH PRESSURE AND A COLD/DRY AIRMASS IS
NOSING IT/S WAY DOWN OUT OF ONTARIO INTO THE NRN LAKES REGION.
IMPRESSIVELY DRY AIR...WITH NICE POCKET OF CLEAR SKIES NOSING ACROSS
LAKE SUPERIOR.

TODAY...HIGH PRESSURE AND A COLD/DRY AIRMASS WILL BUILD DOWN INTO
THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE DAY...WITH THE SFC RIDGE AXIS
PRETTY MUCH OVERHEAD BY 00Z THIS EVENING. WE MAINTAIN FAIRLY STEADY
NNW BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY...SO BIGGEST
FORECAST PROBLEM OF THE DAY REVOLVES AROUND LINGERING LAKE EFFECT
SNOWS. PLENTY OF OVER WATER INSTABILITY NO DOUBT...WITH H8 TEMPS
DROPPING TO -14C TO -18C FOR THE DAY. BUT A SERIOUSLY DRY INCOMING
AIRMASS WILL ACT TO THROTTLE LAKE EFFECT SNOWS...ESPECIALLY THIS
AFTERNOON. NONETHELESS...THERE WILL BE A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
THROUGH MIDDAY FOR DECENT NNW LAKE SNOWS INTO THE GRAND TRAVERSE BAY
REGION WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF DRYING OUT AND WHILE BOUNDARY LAYER
FLOW TRAJECTORIES SUPPORT A GOOD LAKE SUPERIOR CONNECTION. ALREADY
SEEING DECENT NNW LAKE EFFECT SNOWS OFF SUPERIOR INTO CENTRAL UPPER
MICHIGAN WHICH ARE LINING UP TO POINT DOWN INTO THE GRAND TRAVERSE
BAY REGION. SO...HAVE NUDGED UP ACCUMULATIONS TO UP TO 3 INCHES FOR
THAT AREA. SUB ADVISORY...SO NOT PLANNING ANY HEADLINES AT THIS
POINT. BUT MAY END UP ISSUING AN SPS.

OTHERWISE...INCOMING DRY AIRMASS WILL RESULT IN DIMINISHING CLOUD
COVER AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY...AND A GOOD DEAL OF AFTERNOON
SUNSHINE FOR MANY.

TONIGHT...SFC RIDGE AXIS BUILDS OVERHEAD THIS EVENING THEN EAST OF
THE STATE BY THURSDAY MORNING. ANY REMAINING LAKE EFFECT WILL PRETTY
MUCH COME TO AN END THIS EVENING AS FLOW BECOMES LIGHT AND FLOPPY.
MOST AREAS WILL CLEAR OUT...ALTHOUGH SOME LAKE CLOUDS MAY DRIFT BACK
UP INTO EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN OVERNIGHT AS LOW LEVEL FLOW
EVENTUALLY TURNS BACK INTO THE SOUTH BY MORNING. BUT THERE WILL BE
SEVERAL HOURS OF CALM WINDS/CLEAR SKIES ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO
TANK...ESPECIALLY INLAND WHERE READINGS WILL DROP BELOW 0F.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 314 AM EST WED FEB 17 2016

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL:  A MIX OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION IS
STILL EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD NORTHERN MICHIGAN THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY FRIDAY...AND THIS MAY RESULT IN SLICK ROADS AND LOCALLY
HAZARDOUS TRAVEL.

PATTERN SYNOPSIS/ANTICIPATED EVOLUTION:  HIGHLY PROGRESSIVE FLOW
REGIME ACROSS THE CONUS WILL ALLOW MID LEVEL ENERGY /TROUGH/
INITIALLY OVER THE PACIFIC NW EARLY THURSDAY TO RACE EWD. THIS
FEATURE WILL IMPACT THE GREAT LAKES REGION AS SOON AS THURSDAY NIGHT.
STRONG WAA WILL OVERSPREAD REGION THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT IN
ADVANCE OF THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW...WHICH IS FORECAST TO REACH
NORTHERN MN BY 12Z FRIDAY.

THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE ERN GREAT LAKES WILL SUPPORT
INCREASING SOUTHERLY BREEZES AND WAA. EXPECT CLOUDINESS TO GRADUALLY
THICKEN AND LOWER DURING THE DAY...AS CLOUDS TRAVERSES MID LEVEL
RIDGE AXIS TO OUR WEST. HIGHS WILL REACH UPPER 20S TO LOW 30S.

THURSDAY NIGHT...MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT PRECIP WILL START
TO BLOSSOM ACROSS THE AREA AND/OR MOVE IN FROM THE WEST BEGINNING
THURSDAY EVENING - WITHIN REGION OF STRONG ISENTROPIC ASCENT. MODEL
CONSENSUS SUGGESTS BEST CHANCE FOR A SEVERAL HOUR PERIOD OF WINTRY
PRECIP WILL BE OVER WRN/NRN AREAS. WITH SURFACE DEW POINTS INITIALLY
IN THE LOW-MID 20S AND TEMPS ALOFT SLOWLY WARMING...PRECIP TYPE
CONCERNS/CHALLENGES WILL ABOUND. SOUNDINGS SUPPORT SNOW AT THE ONSET
MOST AREAS...WITH A TRANSITION TO LIGHT FREEZING RAIN FROM SW-NE
/AS H8 TEMPS WARM TO +2-4C/. PRECIP MAY CHANGE OVER THE ALL RAIN
AFTER MIDNIGHT FOR AREAS FROM TRAVERSE CITY TO MANISTEE...WHERE
TEMPS WARM TOWARD 33-35F.

DON/T NECESSARILY EXPECT STEADY/WIDESPREAD PRECIP ALL NIGHT.
RATHER...A 2-4 HR PERIOD OF MAINLY LIGHT PRECIP SEEMS MOST LIKELY.
ADDITIONALLY...MODELS SEEM A BIT SLOWER PUSHING WARMER AIR
NORTHWARD...SO ERN UPPER MAY STAY ALL SNOW MUCH OF THE NIGHT.

FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...SURFACE LOW OVER NRN MN WILL MOVE TO
VICINITY OF ERN UPPER MI BY LATE FRIDAY. EXPECT LIGHT FREEZING RAIN
TO LINGER EARLY FRIDAY MORNING OVER ERN UPPER AND PARTS OF NE LOWER
MI. HOWEVER...AS BOUNDARY LAYER CONTINUES TO WARM PRECIP WILL
TRANSITION TO JUST PATCHY LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE. HIGHS ON FRIDAY
REACH THE UPPER 30S NORTH TO MIDDLE 40S SOUTH. WITH DEEP LAYER
TROUGHING INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...EXPECT SOME RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS...AS
LOW TEMPS REMAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING.

&&

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 314 AM EST WED FEB 17 2016

IN THE WAKE OF FRIDAY/S SYSTEM...A GENERALLY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT IS
EXPECTED ACROSS THE CONUS SATURDAY /AND WITHOUT A LOT OF COLD AIR
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES/. WITH TIME...MODELS SUGGEST ADDITIONAL
SHORT WAVES WILL CARVE OUT A BROAD /ALBEIT LOW AMPLITUDE/ TROUGH
OVER THE UPPER MS VALLEY AND GREAT LAKES. THIS WILL SUPPORT PERIODIC
CHANCES FOR SNOW SHOWERS AS TEMPS COOL BACK OFF BY MONDAY AND
ESPECIALLY TUESDAY. HIGHS IN THE LOWER 40S SATURDAY WILL COOL INTO
THE 20S BY MONDAY/TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 314 AM EST WED FEB 17 2016

MODELS ARE NOW INDICATING A MORE NORTHERLY WIND REGIME THAT WILL
IMPACT MBL AND TVC THE MOST THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT AND INTO WEDNESDAY
WITH LAKE EFFECT SNOW. GREATEST CHANCES FOR IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE
MBL AND TVC WITH LOW VISIBILITIES UNDER THE HEAVIER SNOW BANDS
THROUGH THE AT LEAST THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. EXPECT
PREDOMINANTLY MVFR/VFR CONDITIONS AT PLN AND APN AND MVFR/IFR AT TVC
AND MBL UNDER THE LAKE EFFECT SNOWS. CLOUDS WILL THIN OUT LATE
WEDNESDAY MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON OVER PLN AND APN AS HIGH PRESSURE
AND MUCH DRIER AIR BUILDS INTO NORTHERN MICHIGAN...WITH TVC AND MBL
THINNING OUT A LITTLE LATER AS LAKE EFFECT PARAMETERS DIMINISH.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 314 AM EST WED FEB 17 2016

GUSTIER NNW WINDS WILL BRING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS TO
PARTS OF LAKE MICHIGAN AND HURON THIS MORNING...BUT WINDS SHOULD
RAPIDLY DIMINISH THIS AFTERNOON AND PARTICULARLY TONIGHT.
RELATIVELY CALM TONIGHT. BUT WINDS TURN BACK INTO THE SOUTH AND
INCREASE QUICKLY THROUGH THE DAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. GALE FORCE
GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE BY THURSDAY NIGHT...ALTHOUGH GALE GUSTS ARE
OFTEN DIFFICULT TO GET IN STRONG WARM ADVECTION PATTERNS.
NONETHELESS...WILL HOIST GALE WATCH FOR THE NEARSHORE AREAS OF
LAKE MICHIGAN ACCORDINGLY.
