Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
1008 PM EST Thu Dec 15 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1008 PM EST Thu Dec 15 2016

Have been waiting for an opportunity to cancel remaining warnings/
advisories with the ending snow event. Still some localized pockets
of heavier snow showers out there across northern lower Michigan
(through Antrim and Otsego counties) as well as northern Chippewa
county with the last bit of Lake Superior snow showers sliding
through now. But coverage has diminished enough that I've gone
ahead and cancelled remaining headlines.

Low level winds already in the process of backing more westerly
tonight (and eventually SW on Friday) in advance of the next
system that will spread another round of snowfall into the region
Friday afternoon and Friday night. W-SW lake enhancement will
start up early Friday morning with plenty of over water
instability out there (as we know), reintroduction of thicker
cloud cover aloft (seeder-feeder support), and warming low levels
that will actually expand the DGZ within the cloud layer. So plan
is to take newly issued winter weather advisories for Manistee/Wexford
and Benzie counties and expand up along the Lake Michigan shoreline
to Emmet county. Have also been mulling over whether or not to
upgrade a few of the shoreline counties (Manistee to Leelanua and
possibly Emmet) to a warning. Current 24 hour forecast snowfall
amounts for those areas run 7 to 9 inches...just under 24 hour
warning criteria. Will mull it over a bit longer, but may let
midnight crew reassess the going forecast.

&&

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight and Friday)
Issued at 433 PM EST Thu Dec 15 2016

High impact weather potential: Moderate to heavy lake effect snow
and blowing snow still impacting much of northern Michigan through
Thursday, combined with cold wind chills. Next storm system
beginning as enhanced lake effect snow starting Friday morning with
several inches accumulation into later periods. Dealing with the
next event running into the current one is an issue as well, as
far as how to handle the headlines.

Pattern synopsis and forecast:

Cold and deep upper low now resides over western Quebec with cold
cyclonic NW flow continuing to batter nrn Michigan with lake effect
snow and blowing snow. Much of this snow was pounding the same areas
for a good chunk of the day, and thus accumulations were quite
impressive (greater than 6" in many areas across NW lower). Also,
snow showers have expanded, and are still expanding, over the
current warned and advised counties. This has occurred after the
Lake Superior bands went NW and connected with Lake Michigan. There
is shallow mid level ridging upstream across the NC conus, sitting
behind a center of high pressure over IL/IN. Finally, upper
troughing over the Pacific was inducing developing low sfc low
pressure in the srn Rockies.

Not gonna touch the current headlines out for NW/NRN lower Michigan
or the eastern upper headlines with bands still going strong and
actually developing across more of NRN lower. Will extend these
headlines through this evening. Impressive lake effect parameters
with inversion heights through 10kft and deep overlake instability
with long fetches connected to Lake Superior. Still expect less than
a quarter mile poor visibility with the snows, and still some
blowing snow as well. Through late evening and overnight however,
winds will be backing out of the WSW through the night, which will
shove all remaining lake effect snows in eastern upper, north into
Ontario. Lake effect snows will gradually wind down, but continue,
across portions of NW/NC lower through the night. Fully expect these
headlines to be taken down late this evening.

At that point, we have gonna have to address the next wave of snow
and needed headlines that are running into this current event. It
can get a little messy and confusing with two separate headlines in
effect, so we aren't going to issue most of these until we cancel
the current ones. The exception will be Benzie, Manistee and Wexford
counties, where there aren't any headlines currently. We will issue
these now, and the others at 11pm.

The next event is a sneaky lake enhanced snow that starts right away
Friday morning. The air mass is obviously quite cold, and even
warmer air working northward will not put too much of a dent in the
overlake instability. Delta t's through Friday will remain greater
than 20C still. In the meantime, deeper moisture aloft associated
with strong deep layer WAA, spreads in over the weaker lake effect,
that will quickly start feeding/enhancing/intensifying lake snows.
Inversion heights rebound to 6-6.5kft and there are hints of a nice
confluent region of WSW winds working right up the Lake Michigan
coastline of NW lower, through the Straits, and likely impacting the
Drummond Island area. How much snow falls Friday is out for a little
debate, but a nice starting point would be 3-5 inches. There are
signals that the snow total through Friday could be much more. Stay
tuned. This impressive stretch of accumulating snows continues...

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Friday night and Sunday)
Issued at 433 PM EST Thu Dec 15 2016

...System snow then more lake effect...

Here we go again with some more active weather except for now all
areas will get in on the snow as an area of low pressure moves by to
our south. Fortunately, however there won't be a ton of wind
initially to create much in the way of blowing and drifting snow
issues (which is a relief). The bad part is that as the system gets
past us later Saturday into Saturday night, we could see some
blowing and drifting problems once again. The main short term
forecast concerns revolve around snowfall amounts, possible lake
enhancement and headlines.

Friday night into Saturday...Low pressure currently across the
eastern Rockies tracks across the central Plains and northern Ohio
Valley before passing by across southeastern lower Michigan late
Saturday. So expect light to moderate snow...possibly enhanced some
across western Mackinac County Friday evening then from near Oscoda
to Alpena late Friday night. There could then be some enhancement
from Rogers City to Alpena Saturday and even along the Lake Michigan
shoreline from Leeland to Manistee including Traverse City later in
the day (plus Whitefish Point to Paradise). Models are not in
agreement on the exact flow at this point so these areas could
change. Generally speaking, expecting 6 to 8 inches with locally
higher amounts of snow accumulation during this time. At this point
this looks like a winter weather advisory event but lake enhancement
may tip the scales over to a winter storm warning in some areas.

Saturday night...Wrap around deformation driven moisture should
continue widespread light snow with a transition over to lake effect
snow showers. Good chance at enhancement in northerly flow areas as
well from Leeland to Manistee and Traverse City. Winds will pick up
too leading to areas of blowing and drifting snow.

Sunday...The flow backs from north northwest early in the day to
west northwest in the afternoon. Gusty winds and lake effect look
good with decent moisture and plenty of over lake instability as
another surge of arctic air pours across the Great Lakes.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 433 PM EST Thu Dec 15 2016

High Impact Weather Potential: Minor accumulations of lake effect
snow over the period. Southwest flow favored areas may see higher
amounts. Gusty winds continue early in the week.

Deep arctic air will continue to retreat through the period, with
noted moderation starting Tuesday and getting back to near or
slightly above normal by late week. Lake effect will begin to
diminish as warm advection increases into mid-week. A pair of lows
passing to our north could help to induce SW flow for a couple of
days, which could increase lake effect accumulations for SW flow
favored areas. Another deepening low tracking closer to Lake
Superior could bring more widespread snow to the area, but there is
low confidence with this system right now.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 917 PM EST Thu Dec 15 2016

A brief window of VFR conditions for much of northern lower
Michigan this evening and overnight. But next system will be
pushing into the region Friday morning bringing lake enhanced
snowfall into NW lower Michigan and a return to MVFR and possible
IFR conditions to TVC/MBL and PLN. Lighter snowfall overspreads
all of northern lower Michigan through the day Friday into Friday
night and eventually brings MVFR conditions to APN.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 433 PM EST Thu Dec 15 2016

Gale warning headlines for WNW/NW winds are expected to be dropped
around 7pm this evening as winds continue to weaken and back more
WSW through the night. Already seeing most all of our marine
observations below gale force. Advisories are likely to be hoisted
for pretty much all areas into Friday however. Winds likely to fall
below advisory levels later Friday and through the weekend. Watch
for enhanced lake effect snows to redevelop along the Lake Michigan
coast, through the straits and into the Drummond Island area Friday
morning with synoptic snows developing Friday night and over the
weekend.
