AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
138 AM EDT WED MAR 16 2016

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 427 PM EDT TUE MAR 15 2016

WV IMAGERY AND RAP ANALYSIS INDICATED A MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FROM
ALBERTA/SASK INTO THE WRN PLAINS WITH WEAK DOWNSTREAM RIDGING OVER
THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN GREAT LAKES INTO NW ONTARIO. AT THE SFC...SE
FLOW WAS INCREASING OVER NRN WI BETWEEN A RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL AND
ERN LAKES AND A TROUGH FROM SRN MANITOBA THROUGH MN TO LOW PRES OVER
MO. A LINE SHRA EXTENDING FROM NW WI INTO SE WI/NE IL WERE SUPPORTED
BY STRONG LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INFLOW AND ISENTROPIC LIFT NOTED ON 290-
295K SFCS AHEAD OF THE TROUGH. THE INCREASING ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND
MID-LVL Q-VECT CONV AHEAD OF THE NEGATIVE-TILT TROUGH HAS RESULTED
IN CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS MUCH OF THE FCST AREA EXCEPT FOR FAR EAST
WHERE DRY EASTERLY FLOW AND PROXIMITY TO RIDGE HAS KEPT SKIES PARTLY
SUNNY. HIGH TEMPS TODAY HAVE RANGED FROM MID 50S FAR WEST AND EAST
TO THE LOWER 40S NEAR LAKE MI SHORE IN SE FLOW.

TONIGHT...AS THE NEG-TILT SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS
LIFTS TOWARD THE WRN GREAT LAKES THE SFC LOW IS EXPECTED TO DEEPEN
TO NEAR 987 MB OVER SRN WI BY 12Z WED. THE NAM AND GFS CONTINUE TO
TREND SLOWER WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE PCPN BAND MOVING THROUGH WI SO
HAVE BACKED OFF ON INCREASING POPS TO LIKELY/CATEGORICAL OVER WEST
UNTIL LATE EVENING AND OVER THE CENTRAL COUNTIES UNTIL LATE TONIGHT
WHEN COMBINATION OF INCREASED UPPER DIVERGENCE IN COUPLED UPPER JET
STRUCTURE AND STRONG DEEP LAYER Q-VECT CONVERGENCE AHEAD OF
SHORTWAVE BEGINS TO OVERCOME DRY EASTERLY FLOW. THERMAL PROFILES AND
FCST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT WITH THE WAA SURGE...THE PCPN BAND
COMING IN INITIALLY WILL REMAIN MOSTLY RAIN TONIGHT. ERLY WINDS WILL
ALSO BECOME GUSTY LATE TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE KEWEENAW AND
NEAR LAKE MI WHERE GUSTS OVER 35 MPH ARE EXPECTED. ALSO KEPT IN
SLIGHT CHC OF THUNDER OVER SCNTRL UPPER LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY WED
MORNING AS MODELS STILL SHOW NEG SHOWALTER INDICES AND MUCAPE OF A
FEW HUNDRED J/KG ON NOSE OF 85H THETA-E AND STRONG ISENTROPIC ASCENT.

WEDNESDAY...RAIN WILL BE FALLING HEAVILY IN THE MORNING SO PRECIP
LOADING COULD ALSO AID IN BRINGING STRONG/GUSTY WINDS TO SFC. AT THE
LEAST...DUE TO INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT TO NORTH OF DEEPENING
SFC LOW OVER WI DOWN TO LESS THAN 990MB BY 12Z WED...AREAS FAVORED
BY EAST WINDS SUCH AS LK MICHIGAN/BAY OF GREEN BAY AND ACROSS
KEWEENAW COULD SEE EAST WINDS GUSTING TO 30-40 MPH MUCH OF THE DAY.
AS DRY SLOT WITH SYSTEM AND Q-VECT DIV MOVES ACROSS CENTRAL AND ERN
AREAS EXPECT PRECIP TO DIMINISH THERE. EXCEPTION WILL BE OVER
WESTERN CWA WHERE DEEP LAYER Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE EXPANDS ON NW SIDE
OF DEEPENING UPPER LOW AND STRONG SFC-H85 LOW MEANDERING OVER
NORTHERN LAKE MI AND DEFORMATION FORCING ALLOWS BAND TO SET UP OVER
THE WEST.

THE OTHER TRICKY PART OF THIS FCST WILL BE PTYPE AND POSSIBILITY OF
ACCUMULATING SNOW ON WED. MODEL SOUNDINGS...ESPECIALLY NAM...SUGGEST
POTENTIAL FOR DYNAMIC COOLING WITH HEAVIER PCPN BAND MOVING THROUGH
WED MORNING WITH A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW SHORTLY AFT 12Z. IF THIS
HAPPENS AS QUICKLY AS NAM INDICATES THERE COULD BE A POTENTIAL OF
SEVERAL INCHES OF WET SNOW WED MORNING OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS
OF THE WEST HALF OF UPPER MI AS THIS HEAVIER BAND MOVES THROUGH THE
AREA. RIGHT NOW...SINCE THERE IS STILL SOME MODEL UNCERTAINTY WITH
THERMAL FIELDS/PROFILES HAVE ELECTED TO ONLY PUT IN A COUPLE INCHES
OF SNOW OVER MAINLY THE KEWEENAW AND WRN MQT/ERN BARAGA COUNTIES WED
MORNING BEFORE PCPN TAPERS OFF SOME WED AFTERNOON.  THERE WILL BE
BETTER CHANCE OF ACCUMULATING SNOW OVER THE FAR WEST LATE WED INTO
WED NIGHT WHEN DEFORMATION BAND W/SYSTEM SETS UP IN STRONGLY
CYCLONIC NNE FLOW.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 549 PM EDT TUE MAR 15 2016

PATTERN OVER THE NEXT 1-2 WEEKS LOOKS QUITE CHANGEABLE WITH FLOW
TRANSITIONING BETWEEN PERIODS OF MORE PRONOUNCED SPLIT FLOW AND
PERIODS OF MORE CONSOLIDATED FLOW. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...PATTERN
WILL BECOME BLOCKY OVER NAMERICA WITH DYNAMIC SYSTEM DEVELOPING INTO
THE GREAT LAKES BENEATH A DEVELOPING CLOSED HIGH TO THE N. THIS
BLOCKY PATTERN WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS AMPLIFYING RIDGE ALONG THE W
COAST FORCES THE CLOSED HIGH TO DISSIPATE UNDER DEVELOPING ERN TROF
OVER THE WEEKEND. WRN RIDGE THEN WEAKENS WITH A MORE PRONOUNCED
SPLIT FLOW REDEVELOPING EARLY NEXT WEEK. AFTER THE MDT/HVY PCPN OVER
THE NEXT DAY OR TWO...A DRIER PATTERN WILL EVOLVE THRU EARLY NEXT
WEEK...THOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME -SHSN AND EVEN LES ASSOCIATED WITH
A SHORTWAVE AND COLDER AIR DIVING SE INTO THE ERN TROF LATER THIS
WEEKEND. FARTHER OUT...NAEFS 8-14 DAY OUTLOOK INDICATES BLO NORMAL
TEMPS BECOMING FAVORED W-E ACROSS MUCH OF CNTRL CANADA WHILE ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPS BECOME FAVORED ACROSS MUCH OF THE CONUS. THIS SUGGESTS
A POTENTIAL ACTIVE PATTERN WILL DEVELOP AS SHORTWAVES TRACK ALONG A
TIGHTENING THERMAL GRADIENT ACROSS THE NRN CONUS. SO...THE UPPER
LAKES MAY BE AFFECTED BY BOUTS OF PCPN EVERY 2-3 DAYS...BEGINNING
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AND CONTINUING THRU THE END OF THE MONTH.
CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR SOME SNOW EVENTS TO OCCUR.

BEGINNING WED NIGHT/THU...MIDLEVEL LOW AND SFC LOW CENTERED VCNTY OF
SCNTRL UPPER MI WED EVENING WILL MOVE VERY LITTLE DURING THE NIGHT
BEFORE QUICKLY UNRAVELING AND DRIFTING S AND E ON THU. AT THE LOW
LEVELS...STRONGLY CYCLONIC FLOW WILL DOMINATE THE FCST AREA.
TO THE N AND W OF THE LOW...UPSLOPE NE TO NORTHERLY FLOW WILL
ENHANCE PCPN...ESPECIALLY SO OVER FAR WRN UPPER MI WHERE LOW-LEVEL
CYCLONIC FLOW IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED. THE FAR W IS ALSO CENTERED
UNDER AN AREA OF LINGERING DEEP LAYER FORCING PER QVECTORS...AND
THAT FORCING IS QUITE STRONG THRU MUCH OF THE NIGHT. LOW-LEVEL TEMPS
AREN'T QUITE LOW ENOUGH FOR LAKE ENHANCEMENT...BUT IT WOULDN'T TAKE
MUCH COOLING TO RESULT IN CONSIDERABLY HIGHER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED. WITH THE 12Z MODEL RUNS INCLUDING THE 09Z
SREF...THE NAM/REGIONAL CANADIAN ARE ON THE HIGHER END OF THE QPF
SPECTRUM...SHOWING AMOUNTS OVER 1 INCH WED NIGHT OVER FAR WRN UPPER
MI. USED A MORE CONSERVATIVE APPROACH WITH AMOUNTS OF ABOUT 1/3RD TO
2/3RDS OF AN INCH. WITH SNOW RATIOS PROBABLY NOT HIGHER THAN AROUND
10 TO 1...SNOWFALL SHOULD BE ON THE ORDER OF 3-6 INCHES WED NIGHT
OVER GOGEBIC/ONTONAGON COUNTIES AND 2-4 INTO HOUGHTON COUNTY. ADVY
HAS BEEN HOISTED FOR THOSE 3 COUNTIES. SNOWFALL SHOULD DIMINISH TO
SUBADVY LEVELS IN THE BORDERING COUNTIES...WITH EVEN LIGHTER AMOUNTS
DOWN TO LESS THAN 1 INCH FARTHER E.

LINGERING LIGHT SNOW WILL DIMINISH THU AS ENTIRE SYSTEM WEAKENS AND
DRIFTS AND E. MIGHT SEE ANOTHER 1-2 INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION
OVER THE W IN THE MORNING.

PATCHY -SN WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH THU NIGHT. FCST SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST SOME POTENTIAL FOR -FZDZ TO DEVELOP IN THE NNE WIND UPSLOPE
AREAS AS MOISTURE DEPTH SHRINKS TO THE LOW-LEVELS WHERE TEMPS IN THE
MOIST LAYER ARE AROUND -10C. WITH LOW CONFIDENCE...KEPT MENTION OUT
OF FCST FOR NOW.

CLOSED MID LEVEL HIGH THAT DEVELOPS OVER MANITOBA THU WEAKENS AND
DRIFTS SE ACROSS THE UPPER LAKES FRI/SAT...PROVIDING DRY WEATHER.
SKIES SHOULD BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR FRI/FRI NIGHT. WITH SFC HIGH PRES
OVER THE AREA FRI NIGHT...BEGAN TO TREND MIN TEMPS DOWN A BIT...
TOWARD THE LOWER TEENS IN THE TRADITIONAL COLD SPOTS.

SHORTWAVE DROPS SE THRU THE UPPER LAKES SAT NIGHT/SUN...BUT
TIMING/TRACK OF SHORTWAVE IS NOT WELL AGREED UPON WITH THE GFS MORE
AMPLIFIED/FARTHER S WITH SHORTWAVE TRACK THAN THE ECMWF/CANADIAN...
RESULTING IN A BETTER CHANCE OF -SHSN SUN ACROSS THE AREA AS DAYTIME
HEATING/MOISTURE OFF THE LAKE CONTRIBUTE TO A MORE TYPICAL
SPRINGTIME TYPE OF -SHSN REGIME. FOR NOW...LEANED FCST AWAY FROM THE
GFS. WITH 850MB TEMPS FALLING TO -15C OR SO BEHIND WAVE...EXPECT
SOME LIGHT LES TO DEVELOP OFF LAKE SUPERIOR SUN INTO MON.

THE FIRST IN WHAT COULD BE A SERIES OF LOW PRES SYSTEMS MOVING
ACROSS THE NRN CONUS MAY ARRIVE IN THE WRN GREAT LAKES LATE TUE OR
WED. WITH PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING/TRACK AND THERMAL FIELDS
BASED ON RECENT GFS/ECMWF RUNS...ONLY SLIGHT CHC POPS WERE UTILIZED
ON TUE.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY NIGHT)

AS AREA OF RA AHEAD OF DEEPENING LO PRES MOVING INTO WI OVERSPREADS
UPR MI...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS AT THE TAF ONSET TO DETERIORATE TO
IFR/LIFR BY DAYBREAK. THEN IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS WL DOMINATE ON WED
THRU WED EVNG WITH CYC E-NE FLOW/RA MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SN ON

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)

35 TO 45 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR AND A GALE WARNING
IS IN EFFECT. OTHERWISE...WINDS AT OR BELOW 25 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED
