AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
356 PM EST MON JAN 4 2016

.NEAR TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 355 PM EST MON JAN 4 2016

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER...NONE EXPECTED.

...COLD WITH A LITTLE LAKE EFFECT LATE...

INTO THIS EVENING...NORTHEAST FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE
TO WANE AT THIS HOUR WITH CLEARING AWAY FROM THE LAKE HURON
SHORELINE AS HIGH PRESSURE/DRIER AIR CONTINUE TO TAKE HOLD. SO WITH
CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS THIS
EVENING...TEMPERATURES INLAND ARE EXPECTED TO PLUMMET.
THEREFORE...HAVE CUT GUIDANCE A DECENT AMOUNT WITH LOWS RANGING FROM
THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE AND BELOW ZERO INLAND TO THE LOWER TEENS
ABOVE (IF THERE IS SUCH A THING) NEAR THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE.

OVERNIGHT...SOUTH SOUTHWEST FLOW LAKE EFFECT OFF OF LAKE MICHIGAN
WILL LIKELY FORM AND MOVE INTO WESTERN SECTIONS OF MACKINAC AND
CHIPPEWA COUNTIES AND MAY SCRAPE FAR NORTHWEST LOWER.
HOWEVER...MOISTURE IS RATHER ANEMIC (MEAN 850-700 MB RH ONLY ABOUT
20 PERCENT) SO ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD VERY MINIMAL (UNDER AN INCH).
TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT SHOULD BE STEADY OR SLOWLY RISING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 355 PM EST MON JAN 4 2016

STRONG SURFACE HIGH CENTER SLIDES SE TO THE MID ATLANTIC SEABOARD BY
00Z WEDNESDAY. SCATTERED LIGHT SW FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL
LINGER INTO TUESDAY ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE NORTHWARD TO
THE STRAITS AND PORTIONS OF ERN UPR MICHIGAN. ANY ACCUMULATIONS WILL
BE MINOR (WELL UNDER AN INCH)...WITH ALL SNOW ENDING IN THE
AFTERNOON. STRONG RIDGING...SUBSIDENCE AND DRY AIR THRU THE COLUMN
WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THRU TUESDAY NIGHT...PROVIDING DRY WEATHER AND
PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES.

A WEAK BOUNDARY WILL LEAN INTO UPPER MICHIGAN BY WEDNESDAY...
BECOMING NEARLY STATIONARY AS LOW PRESSURE BEGINS TO DEVELOP TO THE
LEE OF THE ROCKIES ALONG THE SRN EXTENT OF THE BOUNDARY. THIS
FEATURE WILL INITIALLY BRING A SMALL CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS TO UPPER
MICHIGAN BY WEDNESDAY...THEN CHANCES SPREAD SOUTHWARD INTO NRN LWR
MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AS DEEPER MOISTURE BEGINS TO
SURGE NORTHWARD AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING LOW. AT THIS POINT...DEEPEST
MOISTURE AND STRONGER DYNAMICS WILL REMAIN SOUTH AND WEST OF OUR CWA
CLOSER TO THE LOW CENTER...AS WILL SUFFICIENTLY WARM AIR FOR THE
POTENTIAL OF MIXED PRECIP. ALL MODEL SOUNDINGS REMAIN BELOW FREEZING
THRU THE ENTIRE COLUMN THRU 00Z FRIDAY FOR OUR ENTIRE CWA. THUS...AT
THIS POINT...EXPECT THAT ALL PRECIP WILL REMAIN OF THE FROZEN
VARIETY THRU THURSDAY. ALTHOUGH WILL CERTAINLY NEED TO KEEP AN EYE
ON HOW FUTURE MODEL RUNS EVOLVE WITH RESPECT TO THE THERMAL PROFILE.
OVERALL PRECIP CHANCES FOR WEDNESDAY THRU THURSDAY WILL BE SMALL
WITH SNOWFALL TOTALS MINOR.

TEMPS WILL REBOUND NICELY ON TUESDAY...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 20S TO
LOWER 30S. TEMPS WILL FURTHER MODERATE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...WITH
HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 30S THROUGHOUT OUR CWA. LOW TEMPS WILL BE MAINLY
IN THE 20S BOTH TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 355 PM EST MON JAN 4 2016

HAZARDOUS WEATHER POTENTIAL: WINTRY MIX THU NIGHT INTO
FRI...FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY FOR MORE SOUTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA. ANOTHER SHOT OF COLD AIR ARRIVES AT THE END OF
THE WEEKEND...WITH ACCUMULATING LAKE EFFECT SNOWS EXPECTED.

A BIT OF A CHALLENGE TO START OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. WITH LOW
PRESSURE MOVING IN FROM THE PLAINS...THE LEADING WARM FRONT IS
GENERATING QUITE THE MIXED BAG OF PRECIP POSSIBILITIES. WITH SO MUCH
UNCERTAINTY IN THE TRACK OF THE LOW AND JUST WHERE THIS WARM FRONT
WILL LINE UP...IT IS A BIT EARLY TO GET INTO THE P-TYPE SPECIFICS.
BUT...THERE IS CURRENTLY SUPPORT FOR US TO SEE ANOTHER SCENARIO
TOEING THE LINE WITH FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET. THE FINER DETAILS WILL
NEED TO BE HAMMERED OUT IN THE COMING DAYS. THE BIG STORY BEHIND
THAT WILL BE A BLAST OF COLD AIR. ASIDE FROM THE COLD
TEMPERATURES...WE COULD SEE SOME GOOD ACCUMULATIONS WITH SUCH STRONG
LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY AND WHAT LOOKS TO BE A FAIRLY PERSISTENT
WRLY WIND...PERHAPS BACKING SW NEAR THE END OF THE PERIOD. MONDAY
WILL BEGIN A FEW DAY STRETCH WITH HIGHS IN THE TEENS FOR MANY SPOTS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1246 PM EST MON JAN 4 2016

CONTINUED MVFR THIS AFTERNOON APN/TVC/MBL. MVFR RETURNS VERY LATE
TONIGHT MBL/PLN.

HIGH PRESSURE IS PUSHING COLDER AND DRIER AIR SOUTHWARD INTO
NORTHERN MI. LAKE EFFECT SNOW IS DIMINISHING AND WILL TEMPORARILY
END TODAY. MVFR CONDITIONS (MAINLY CIGS) WILL LINGER AT
TVC/APN/MBL THIS AFTERNOON. ALL SITES WILL GO VFR FOR A TIME LATE
TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT. AS SW FLOW INCREASES LATE TONIGHT...LAKE
CLOUDS GENERATED BY LAKE MI WILL RETURN TO PLN/MBL/MAYBE
TVC...WITH LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE.

LIGHT NE WINDS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BECOME SW TONIGHT THEN BECOME
STRONGER AND GUSTY TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 355 PM EST MON JAN 4 2016

HIGH PRESSURE IS NOW LYING ACROSS THE AREA. AS A
RESULT...WINDS/WAVES HAVE TEMPORARILY SLACKEN. HOWEVER...SOUTH
SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL INCREASE BEHIND DEPARTING HIGH PRESSURE
TONIGHT...AND ESPECIALLY SO TUE INTO EARLY WED. THEREFORE...HAVE
ISSUED SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT. A FEW ISOLATED
GALE FORCE GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE...PARTICULAR ON LAKE MI...BUT OVERALL
STRONGER WINDS ALOFT ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE A HARD MIXING DOWN TO THE
WATER.
