Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
338 PM EST Wed Dec 21 2016

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight)
Issued at 334 PM EST Wed Dec 21 2016

This evening and tonight...The overall trend in the pcpn pattern
will be; widespread snow this evening diminishing greatly in areal
coverage overnight, before ending around 12z Thursday.

The clipper which dropped into the nrn Plains earlier today will
push across the Great Lakes tonight, before quickly exiting east
into the mid atlantic Thursday. At upper lvls,a 500mb trough
currently over the wrn lakes, will quickly push across the Great
Lakes tonight with 500mb heights already increasing over nrn Mi by
12z Thursday. 850/500 and 500/300mb qvectors shows strong
convergence centered over nrn Mi through 03z, before exiting east of
Lake Huron between 06z and 09z Thursday. Model soundings shows the
dry mid lvls air from earlier has become nearly saturated through
500mb. Model soudnings show dry air returning to mid and upper lvls
across nrn Mi between 09z and 12z Thursday. However, abundant low
lvl mstr will linger through 12z...at temps between the 0c and -10c
isotherm...which raises some concern of a brief period of freezing
drizzle toward daybreak.

Short term model QPF continues to target the Straits of Mackinac and
eastern Upper Michigan with the highest pcpn totals...generally
between 0.25 and 0.30 inch. QPF diminishes quickly south of the
Straits to around 0.10 inch over the srn cwa. Overall will continue
with current forecast trends; with highest snowfall and headlines
over the extreme nrn portions of the forecast area, while snowfall
total dwindle southward to around one inch by Thursday morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Thursday through Saturday)
Issued at 334 PM EST Wed Dec 21 2016

...More widespread snow expected Friday night...

High Impact Weather Potential: A little freezing drizzle across
interior northern Lower Thursday morning??? More widespread but
mainly light snow expected Friday night.

Pattern Forecast: Short wave trough associated with clipper system
expected to move through the upper Lakes tonight will be east of the
region to start Thursday morning.  Overall pattern becomes somewhat
zonal then to end the week...with a digging trough into the west
coast which in turn kicks another short wave trough (remnants of an
old closed low currently off Baja California) across the midwest and
Great Lakes Friday night/Saturday.

1004mb clipper surface low moving across northern Minnesota this
afternoon will zip across Michigan overnight...with northwest winds
in its wake Thursday morning backing more westerly as high pressure
slides across the Ohio Valley.  Fairly brisk southwest flow expected
to the north of this high Friday with warm advection eventually
brining clouds/precipitation back into the upper Lakes Friday
afternoon/night.  Narrow ridge of high pressure builds into the
upper Lakes/Ohio Valley Saturday...with a fairly strong baroclinic
zone perhaps pushing south into Lake Superior/Upper Michigan by
Saturday night.

Primary Forecast Concerns: Signals for a shallow lake convective
component exist Thursday morning...but forecast soundings implying
that cloud tops may struggle reaching temperatures conducive to ice
nucleation...thus the potential there for flurries/drizzle/freezing
drizzle during the first half of the day...with decreasing clouds
during the afternoon as things dry out and inversion heights drop.

After that basically minimal weather through Friday morning...with
another push of deeper moisture arriving Friday afternoon and
overspreading northern Michigan by early Friday evening.  A little
wetter/higher density snowfall expected Friday night with 1-2/1-3
inch snow amounts a reasonable start...and though amounts may not
get out of hand a wetter/"greasy" snow may still result in some
travel headaches the night before Christmas Eve.  Snow will wind
down Saturday morning.High Impact Weather Potential...

&&

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Wednesday)
Issued at 334 PM EST Wed Dec 21 2016

High impact weather potential: Potentially messy wintry mix
Christmas afternoon-night.

The pattern turns much more amplified heading into the latter half
of the weekend as mid-upper level energy carves out a deep trough
across the West Coast on Saturday before quickly ejecting into the
high plains by the end of the weekend with surface cyclogenesis
expected to be ongoing lee of the Rockies Saturday night set to move
through the northern plains/northern Mississippi Valley Sunday into
Monday. Northern Michigan would lie under rather bonafide WAA just
off the surface supported by H8 temps rising to +7-10 C across much
of the CWA by late Sunday evening. However, as mentioned by the
prior shift, the surface warm front struggles to push much further
north than Grand Rapids by that timeframe thanks to stout surface
high pressure across Ontario/Quebec leading to easterly flow on the
southern edge of high pressure across the increasingly chilly Great
Lakes along with a rather extensive northern MI snowpack. This
certainly sets the stage for a messy mix of p-types as the system
arrives Sunday afternoon, including the threat for at least a period
of freezing rain as temperatures remain at or a touch below
freezing. The overall large scale pattern and frontal timing details
mentioned above, which are now supported by nearly all ensemble
members (in addition to this morning's deterministic runs) only
increases confidence in what has the potential to create travel
impacts during the busy holiday travel period. Trends continue to
suggest that the surface warm front will eventually push through
northern Michigan late Sunday night-Monday with rain becoming the
dominant p-type before a cold front on the back side of the system
sweeps through the area bringing renewed winter-like temperatures
and the threat for lake effect snow.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1217 PM EST Wed Dec 21 2016

VFR cigs and vsby over nrn Mi taf sites currently will quickly
diminish to MVFR this afternoon before trending IFR, as a clipper
over the nrn Plains pushes across the Great Lakes. Vsbys will
occasionally drop to around 1SM in snow, especially this evening for
nrn Mi taf sites. Cigs and Vsbys will improve by 15z Thurs as the
clipper exits east, and sfc and upper lvl ridging build back into
the Great Lakes.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 334 PM EST Wed Dec 21 2016

Widespread snow and increasing southwest winds can be expected
across the northern Great Lakes tonight, in advance of an
approaching clipper. Southwest gusts of 25 to 30kts are possible
along the Lake Michigan shoreline and western Straits tonight. Winds
will turn northwest overnight and and remain gusty through Thursday
night, as the clipper exits east of the region. Otherwise expect
mainly dry conditions through Friday morning, before another clipper
approaches the region Friday night.
