AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
423 PM EST MON FEB 1 2016

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 412 PM EST MON FEB 1 2016

THE MAIN FOCUS THIS FORECAST PERIOD WILL BE THE APPROACHING WINTER
STORM BEGINNING LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND LINGERING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. HEAVY SNOWFALL WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING COMMUTE TUESDAY.

THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT...FAIRLY QUITE TIME PERIOD EXPECTED
TONIGHT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING WINTER STORM. THE WEAK SURFACE
TROUGH THAT SAGGED THROUGH THE AREA EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON WILL
CONTINUE TO PUSH OFF TO THE SOUTH AS IT SLOWLY DISSIPATES. 850MB
TEMPERATURES ARE PROGGED TO BE AROUND -9C TO -11C ACROSS MOST OF THE
U.P. WHICH WOULD BE MARGINALLY SUPPORTIVE OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS
...HOWEVER...WINDS TONIGHT WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT WHILE GENERALLY
BECOMING OFF SHORE. THIS SHOULD EFFECTIVELY FORCE ANY SMALL
PRECIPITATION CHANCES OVER LAKE SUPERIOR. THE ONE EXCEPTION WILL BE
OVER THE KEWEENAW PENINSULA WHERE SOME VERY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS MAY
OCCUR. NOT EXPECTING MUCH MORE THAN A DUSTING OF SNOW THOUGH.

TUESDAY...THE SURFACE LOW AND UPPER LEVEL 500MB CLOSED LOW IS
PROGGED TO BE CENTERED OVER EASTERN KANSAS EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING...WHILE MOST OF U.P. WILL GENERALLY BE DRY. THIS WILL NOT BE
THE CASE FOR TOO LONG THOUGH AS THE SURFACE LOW AND UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT WILL SLIDE INTO NORTHWESTERN MO/SOUTHWEST IA BY 18Z AND TO
EASTERN IOWA BY 00Z/03. AS THIS HAPPENS...MOISTURE WILL RAPIDLY
INCREASE ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF OF THE AREA. THIS INCREASE IN
MOISTURE ALONG WITH ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE WILL ALLOW SNOW TO BEGIN
SPREADING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE U.P. AS EARLY AS 18-19Z/02
AND ACROSS MOST OF THE U.P. BY AROUND 22-23Z/02. THIS IS SHOWN BY
OVERLAYING RH/MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS/PRESSURE ON THE 295K THETA
E ISOSURFACE. THIS ANALYSIS SHOWS THE MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS
NEARLY PERPENDICULAR TO THE PRESSURE ON THE 295K
ISOSURFACE...POINTING TO THE ENHANCED UPGLIDE. ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
FOR INCREASED SNOWFALL RATES DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS WILL BE
THE APPROACH OF A 700 MB DEFORMATION ZONE ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF OF
THE U.P. AS THE TROWAL WORKS NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA. ALSO HELPING
INCREASE SNOW RATES WILL BE THE CO-LOCATION OF THE RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION OF THE NORTHERN JET AND LEFT EXIT REGION OF THE SOUTHERN JET.
ALL OF THIS DATA SUPPORTS THE ENHANCEMENT OF SNOWFALL RATES BETWEEN
18Z/02 AND 00Z/03 AND CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THE
HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION TUESDAY AFTERNOON WOULD LIKELY FALL BETWEEN
21Z/02 AND 00Z/03 WHERE MODELS ARE PAINTING OUT ROUGHLY 0.1 INCHES
ALONG LAKE SUPERIOR TO AROUND 0.3-0.35 INCHES ALONG THE WI BORDER.
SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS SHOULD BE BETWEEN 15:1 AND 17:1 ACROSS THE
AREA GIVING A COUPLE INCHES NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR...AND AROUND 3 TO 5
INCHES ALONG THE WI BORDER. THIS WOULD GIVE SNOWFALL RATES ON THE
ORDER OF 1 TO POSSIBLY 3 INCHES PER HOUR AT THE ONSET. THIS HEAVY
SNOW WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS. ON TOP OF THE HEAVY
SNOWFALL RATES...THE TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL APPROACH THE
SOUTHERN U.P. LATE IN THE AFTERNOON ALLOWING WINDS TO BECOME FAIRLY
GUSTY TO AROUND 20 TO 30 MPH FROM THE EAST. THIS WILL CAUSE BLOWING
AND DRIFTING OF SNOW MAKING TRAVEL VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY THE EVENING COMMUTE.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 422 PM EST MON FEB 1 2016

LONG TERM WILL FOCUS ON DEVELOPING WINTER STORM WHICH WILL AFFECT
UPPER MI TUE NIGHT INTO WED.

TUE NIGHT INTO WED...THE 12Z MODELS STILL IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THE WINTER STORM EMERGING FROM THE
PLAINS. THERE ARE MINOR TIMING DIFFERENCES BUT THE GENERAL TRACK OF
THE SFC LOW IS SIMILAR WITH THE LOW TRACKING OVER SRN LAKE MI AROUND
06Z AND THEN OVER ALPENA AND GEORGIAN BAY WED MORNING. THE 12Z
CONSENSUS TRACK OF NAM...CANADIAN AND GFS LOOKS A BIT FARTHER EAST
THAN BEST CLUSTER OF SREF ENSEMBLE MEMBERS BUT IS CONSISTENT WITH
LAST FEW MODEL RUNS.

AS THE MID LEVEL LOW LIFTS OUT OF THE PLAINS STRONG 700-300 MB
QVECTOR CONV AND 285K-295K ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL SUPPORT A PERIOD
OF HEAVY SNOW...ESPECIALLY FROM 21Z/02-06Z/03. QPF AMOUNTS IN THE 0.4
TO 0.7 INCH RANGE ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE DECENT MOISTURE TRANSPORT
AND 3 G/KG MIXR AVAILABLE. EVEN WITH THE STRONGEST LIFT
INITIALLY ABOVE THE DGZ...SLR VALUES IN THE 15/1-20/1 RANGE ARE
EXPECTED LEADING TO 12 HOUR SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 8 TO 10 INCHES
OVER MUCH OF THE CNTRL CWA. ADDED INSTABILITY FROM TROWAL NOSING
INTO SCNRL AND ERN FCST AREA ALONG WITH CROSS-SECTIONS SHOWING NEG
EPV LOCATED ABV BEST FGEN COULD LEAD TO LOCALLY HEAVIER SNOW BANDS
OVER SCNTRL AND ERN COUNTIES DURING THE 21Z-06Z TIME FRAME WHICH
COULD ADD A FEW MORE INCHES ON TO PROJECTED SNOWFALL TOTALS THERE.
ALSO LAKE AND UPSLOPE FLOW ENHANCEMENT IN NE FLOW WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
HIGHER SNOW TOTALS FOR HIGHER TERRAIN OF NCNTRL COUNTIES ESPECIALLY
WRN MQT AND BARAGA COUNTIES. HOWEVER WITH FCST 850 MB TEMPS ONLY TO
-9 OR -10C...THIS MAY ONLY LEAD TO MARGINAL ENHANCEMENT OF A FEW
MORE INCHES ON TO SYNOPTIC SNOW TOTALS. IN THE END...CURRENT WINTER
STORM WARNING HEADLINES ARE STILL ON TRACK FOR THE CENTRAL AND ERN
COUNTIES OF FCST AREA...FROM BARAGA-IRON EASTWARD.

SINCE THE 4 WRN COUNTIES FROM GOGEBIC INTO THE KEWEENAW WILL BE ON
FRINGE OF HEAVIER SYNOPTIC PCPN FROM COMMA HEAD OF STORM SYSTEM AND
ALSO SINCE WINDOW FOR POTENTIAL LAKE ENHANCEMENT WILL BE SMALLER
(GENERALLY THROUGH 06Z WED)...ADVISORIES STILL LOOK ON TRACK FOR
THE WEST. ONE AREA TO WATCH COULD BE PORCUPINE MTNS TO
IRONWOOD/BERGLAND WHERE LONGER CYCLONIC NNE FETCH ACROSS WESTERN LAKE
SUPERIOR COULD POSSIBLY PUSH SNOWFALL TOTALS NEAR WARNING AMOUNTS.

WITH MODELS INDICATING DRY SLOT WITH SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE AREA
THE HEAVIER SYNOPTIC SNOW COULD TAPER OFF OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL INTO
ERN COUNTIES OVERNIGHT TUE NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY BY 12Z WED AS
SYNOPTIC MOISTURE AND LIFT DEPART EAST. ENHANCEMENT POTENTIAL WILL
KEEP HEAVIER SNOW GOING NCNTRL INTO WED MORNING AND DRIVING
WILL LIKELY BE DIFFICULT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS ESPECIALLY EAST
OF MQT ALONG M-28 WHERE WINDS GUSTING NEAR 35 MPH COULD CAUSE
CONSIDERABLE BLOWING/DRIFTING OF SNOW AS WINDS VEER AROUND MORE NNW.
CONSIDERABLE BLOWING SNOW IS ALSO EXPECTED TUE EVENING FROM ESC-MNM
WITH STRONG NE FLOW FUNNELING THROUGH BAY OF GREEN BAY.

THU-MON...AFTER LINGERING NW FLOW LES ENDS WED NIGHT ALONG LAKE
SUPERIOR...A SERIES OF CLIPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGHS ARE EXPECTED
TO MOVE THROUGH THE NRN LAKES THAT COULD BRING PERIODS OF LIGHT
SNOW TO THE AREA. CONFIDENCE WILL BE LOW ON TIMING/POSITION OF THESE
SHORTWAVES AND THEIR IMPACTS ON LES...ESPECIALLY OUT TOWARD THE
WEEKEND AND BEYOND. IT APPEARS HOWEVER THAT THERE SHOULD BE
ENOUGH COLD AIR FOR PERIODS OF LES OVER MAINLY NW-W FLOW FAVORED
LOCATIONS DOWNWIND OF LAKE SUPERIOR.
&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1237 PM EST MON FEB 1 2016

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LINGER ACROSS MUCH OF THE UPPER PENINSULA
THROUGH TONIGHT ALLOWING MVFR CEILINGS TO REMAIN IN PLACE. ANY
PRECIPIATION THAT OCCURS SHOULD BE FAIRLY LIGHT IN THE FORM OF
FLURRIES OR VERY LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE SLOWLY DIMINISHING THROUGH
THE DAY. VISIBILITY SHOULD NOT BE RESTRICTED DUE TO THE LIGHT
PRECIP. THERE MAY BE A BREIF PERIOD WHERE CEILINGS RISE TO VFR THIS
AFTERNOON...BUT THIS WILL BE FAIRLY SHORT-LIVED AS MVFR CEILINGS
WILL QUICKLY RETURN. THE NEXT PERIOD OF LOW CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY
WILL SLIDE IN LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON JUST AFTER THIS TAF PERIOD.
