Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
327 AM EST Tue Dec 13 2016

LATEST UPDATE...
Synopsis/Short Term/Long Term/Marine

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 327 AM EST Tue Dec 13 2016

An arctic cold front will move through today with frigid
temperatures through the end of the week, along with some lake
effect snow. Low pressure arrives for the weekend with several
inches of snow possible and some mixed precipitation across
southeast Lower Michigan.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 327 AM EST Tue Dec 13 2016

Bitter cold and some lake effect snow in the near term. Blowing
snow is also a concern for Wednesday and Thursday as west winds
will drive any lake effect snow across roads, reducing visibility.
This may require a winter weather advisory, although accums will
be marginal given low DGZ and small flake size. The other concern
is wind chill...with apparent temperatures from minus 10 to minus
15 across the northern zones Wednesday night.

For today...arctic front expected to bring quick burst of snow
with little accumulation, then temperatures steady or falling
behind the front with winds picking up. Cyclonic flow begins late
tonight and lake effect snow showers should begin to increase by
early Wednesday.

Thursday looks like the coldest day of the week as the thermal
trough axis is moving through. Highs will be confined to the mid
and upper teens even near Lake Michigan and may be only around 10
degrees well inland.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Monday)
Issued at 327 AM EST Tue Dec 13 2016

We continue to expect a fairly active weather pattern will be in
place over the area through most of the long term. Lake effect and a
storm system will be the main culprits for this active weather
pattern. We could quiet things down a bit late in the period early
next week.

Lake effect will be ongoing over the area at the beginning of the
period on Thu night. The arctic air will be in place with delta t's
well into the 20s C, cyclonic flow will be overhead, and a WNW flow
in place. It does look like it should trend down gradually Thu night
into early Fri with ridging building in for a short time.

We will see snow chances then increase Fri, and continue into Sat
when a mixture of p-types will be possible. We will see leeward
cyclogenesis take place just east of the Rockies Thu night and Fri
as an amplified long wave trough moves east. This sfc low will then
lift NE toward the region through Sat. It will likely draw copious
amounts of moisture northward from the Gulf, up and over the colder
air that will be in place. This should start off as all snow Fri
into Fri night.

Warmer air will try to move into the region, but how far north it
makes it depends on the track of the sfc low. We expect that a
melting layer aloft should make it at least into the srn rows if not
further north. With the cold air initially in place at the sfc, it
may be hard to dislodge it. This could set portions of the area up
for a wintry mix. A great deal of uncertainty remains, but this
should be monitored closely.

The system will shift east of the area by Sunday, allowing the
arctic air to move back in. This will allow lake effect to ramp back
up through at least Sun night. It will then diminish for Mon and
beyond as the core of the arctic air is pushed out of the area.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1250 AM EST Tue Dec 13 2016

Low clouds generally based around 2000-2500 ft remain anchored
over most of the area early this morning. Some erosion of this
cloud cover has occurred from the south, for mainly the I-94
terminals. Some fog has formed as a result here. This will last
for a few hours.

We will see some light snow develop out ahead of an incoming front
toward 09-10z and then spread east. This will not last long, only
a few hours. We expect the best snow will occur south. This will
be where the best chance of IFR is. MVFR conditions will persist
at the I-96 terminals, with a chc of IFR.

Once the light snow moves out after 16-17z, we will see lower
clouds hold in around 2500 ft. Winds will shift from SSW, to WNW.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 327 AM EST Tue Dec 13 2016

The small craft advisory will continue through Wednesday morning.
West gales are expected to begin at that time and continue into
Wednesday night.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 315 PM EST Mon Dec 12 2016

Area rivers are running around to above normal for this time of
year. With the cold air expected this week, rapid ice formation is
possible on the rivers starting tonight. Frazil ice development can
occur quickly with river temperatures near freezing and air temps in
the teens and single digits above zero, as expected Wednesday into
Friday. Snow can also contributes to ice development. In terms of
ice jam potential, there is some risk in the latter half of the
week. Residents in jam-prone areas should monitor ice development
over the course of the next week.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
