Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
357 AM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

.NEAR TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 357 AM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

...Another punch of very cold air with accumulating lake snows...

High Impact Weather Potential...Arrival of yet another shot of
very cold air midweek onward launching us into our next set of
winter weather headlines.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Longwave mid level trough axis
extends from the Hudson Bay region over through the Pacific NW,
downstream from mid level omega blocking over the eastern
Pacific/Gulf of Alaska region. A couple shortwaves of note, one
rolling through the Tennessee Valley and a second moving through
the Dakotas. These two waves are forecast to phase over the
eastern lakes into eastern Canada over the next 24 to 36 hours,
carving out a deep trough through the Great Lakes while dragging
another core of arctic air into the region for the second half of
the work week.

Primary Forecast Concerns...Winter weather headlines.

A bit convoluted forecast to start out with...with northern
Michigan stuck between the southern short wave rolling to the mid
Atlantic coast and northern wave advancing into the upper midwest
and digging into the western lakes this evening. Some semblance
of a deformation axis sets up in between the two and operational
model guidance has turned more robust with developing/expanding an
axis of precip from eastern Wisconsin across the CWA later this
morning through the afternoon/evening hours. Will have to see how
that all plays out but I have beefed up pops for today through
this evening, particularly across the western/northern parts of
the CWA. P-type is another matter. Layer of warm air aloft (T>0C)
has made it up into northern lower Michigan per last evening's
APX sounding, and guidance thermal profiles suggest it will
remain in place into the afternoon before colder air begins
filtering late in the day. Along with above freezing surface
temps suggests precip should largely be rain (or perhaps a little
sleet) across northern lower Michigan and mainly snow in eastern
upper Michigan...with precip changing over to snow later this
afternoon/evening and colder air begins to spill back into the
region.

Later tonight: Strong mid level shortwave digs across the western
lakes tonight with much colder air slamming into the region late
overnight toward morning. This will begin to ramp up the lake
effect machine late overnight along with gusty westerly winds/blowing
snow developing toward morning. Best lake snows and gusty winds
(and worst conditions) anticipated Wednesday/Wednesday night (see
below). Combination of snow/blowing snow will lead to rather poor
conditions in the main snowbelt areas and plan on hoisting winter
storm warning/lake effect snow warnings accordingly. Will have
winter weather advisories for outlying snowbelt areas.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Wednesday through Thursday Night)
Issued at 357 AM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

...Significant Lake Effect Snow Showers...

Arctic air continues to pour across the Great Lakes through the
period as a deep trough gets carved out across the region. The main
forecast concerns revolve around snowfall accumulations and
headlines.

Wednesday and  Wednesday night...Cold air advection continues with
850 mb temperatures falling from the negative middle teens C
Wednesday to around -20 C by early Thursday which will crank up over
lake instability creating west northwesterly flow lake effect snow
showers as well as blowing and drifting snow due to gusty winds.
Moisture is excellent with 850-700 mb rh of 80 to 90 percent. Model
soundings look good and show inversion heights in the 5K to 6K
range. Several inches of snow accumulation is expected in the
favored flow regimes during this time so will go ahead and issue
winter headlines. Will end up going with warnings for portions of
northwest lower (including the five counties to the west and south
of Otsego due to the combination of the snow and the impact of the
blowing and drifting snow limiting visibilities with advisories for
the remainder of northwest lower. Will also go with a warning for
Chippewa County. Highs Wednesday in the lower and middle 20s but
with falling temperatures throughout the day. Lows in the upper
single digits and teens.

Thursday into Thursday night...Lake effect continues. Winds slacken
off some and back into the west. Still at least a few more inches of
accumulation expected in favored flow areas. The one thing that
could limit accumulations is that the airmass is pretty cold and the
sounding shows like half the moisture colder than the dgz...i.e.
-15C which would limit snow flake size. Highs in the teens and lows
in the single digits above zero.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 357 AM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

...Lake effect snow expected to continue through at least Saturday...

Arctic air continues to pour across the Great Lakes creating
excellent over lake instability as 850 mb temperatures hold around
-20 C through Sunday morning. In addition, models continue to
indicate that moisture will be rather robust through Saturday (850-
700 mb rh> 80 percent). Winds do waver around with a backing into
the west southwest by Friday afternoon into early Saturday. A short
wave moving through the flow Saturday should enhance activity as
well as veer winds into the northwest. Extended models are then in
general agreement that ridging at the surface and aloft tries to end
lake effect activity on Sunday (which doesn't always work out with
arctic air remaining in place). A trough beats down the ridge Monday
returning chances for snow showers. It will be cold with highs
mainly in the teens through Sunday but modifying into the 20s Monday
with lows mainly in the single digits above zero.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1157 PM EST Mon Jan 2 2017

Prolonged period of ifr producing cigs/vis expected later tonight
through much of Tuesday as low pressure pushes across the region.
Light precipitation also expected, some of which might by a wintry
mixture of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Strong surge of caa
overspreads the area Tuesday evening, bringing increasingly gusty
winds and more snow showers.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 357 AM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

Gusty west to northwest winds develop tonight and persist through
Thursday. Gale force gusts a good bet on the lakes late tonight
through Wednesday with small craft advisory conditions persisting
through Thursday.
