Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
342 PM EST Wed Nov 8 2017

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight through Thursday night)
Issued at 331 PM EST Wed Nov 8 2017

...Arctic front arrives with snow and gusty winds...

High Impact Weather Potential...Period of enhanced snowfall
Thursday morning followed by lake effect snow showers through
Thursday night.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Elongated surface high pressure and
wedge of dry air stretches from Kansas into the lower Great
Lakes. Broad surface troughing is across the northern Great Lakes
with a stationary front extending across Minnesota to low
pressure in northeastern Wyoming. Upstream...strong short wave
impulse...and our main weather player going forward...is diving
down through southwestern Canada and just about into the northern
plains...along the southwestern fringe of larger scale troughing
across Canada. This system will advance across the northern plains
and dig into the upper Midwest/upper Great Lakes region late
tonight through Thursday bringing our first blast of arctic air
into the region.

Primary Forecast Concerns...snowfall timing and extent of winter
weather headlines.

Fairly quiet evening to start. SCT-BKN lake induced STCU stretches
across northwest lower Michigan and across the tip of the mitt
although no indication on radar or from obs that any precip is
falling. Meanwhile...aforementioned short wave trough will quickly
dig into the upper Midwest this evening then cross the northern
Great Lakes region overnight through Thursday. Strong impulse
acting on the tight thermal gradient already in place across the
northern Great Lakes will quickly ramp up compact surface low
pressure across northern Michigan into Ontario...further helping
to drive the arctic airmass into the region Thursday morning.

Ahead of the front...some WSW flow lake enhanced precip still
seems likely later tonight across the tip of the mitt...as better
moisture/synoptic support begin to arrive. But the higher impact
comes early Thursday morning as the arctic cold front surges into
the region. Likely to be a nice band of synoptic/lake enhanced
precip (mainly snow) along the front...with additional terrain
enhancement across interior northern lower Michigan...that will
produce travel issues right around or shortly after the morning
commute.

Then...strong cold advection unfolds through the rest of the day
into Thursday night with temperatures falling through the day and
Lake effect snow showers becoming widespread for the typical
snowbelt areas of eastern upper and northern lower Michigan. Lake
snow shower coverage/intensity may begin to wane Thursday night as
we lose synoptic moisture/forcing and low level flow backs a bit
more NNW.

Overall impact and snow accumulations remain a bit tough.
Enhanced batch of snowfall and subsequent lake snow showers could
bring several inches of snow to the typical NW Michigan snowbelt
area through the day alone with snow showers continuing Thursday
night. Some concern about decreasing snow->water ratios and
decreasing snow accumulation potential late in the day and
Thursday night as atmosphere continues to cool. Nonetheless...
parts of the NW lower Michigan snowbelt could be pushing warning
criteria snow amounts (8"/12 or 10"/24 hrs). Coupled with gusty
winds/blowing snow...will upgrade Antrim/Kalkaska counties to a
warning and expand advisory a few more counties.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Friday through Saturday)
Issued at 331 PM EST Wed Nov 8 2017

High impact weather potential: Lingering lake effect snow near Lake
Michigan Friday morning.  Another round of accumulating light snow
possible Saturday (maybe a mix near the coast?), although fairly low
confidence.

Winds continue to veer more northerly early Friday morning with high
pressure arriving from the west, helping to suppress the inversion
and put an end to lingering lake effect.  Winds still a bit gusty,
especially closer to the Lake Huron coast.  Despite a good amount of
sunshine for most areas, it will be an unseasonably cold day with
850mb temperatures around -16degc.  Widespread high temperatures in
the 20s(which is a solid 15-20 degrees below normal).  Wind chill
readings in the single digits during the morning.

Still a fair amount of model spread for the weekend as Pacific wave
carves out a trough over the center of the country and pushes toward
the Great Lakes.  GFS has trended more toward the weaker/lower
moisture ECMWF which points toward a generally light warm air
advection type snow event (possibly mixed with rain near the coast).
Confidence is still fairly low given the many model shifts over the
past few days but it seems like things may be gradually moving
closer to a consensus idea.  Can't even completely rule out the
possibility of some light freezing rain given marginal moisture
profiles through the -10degc isotherm.  Will not include that
possibility in the forecast at this time. Coldest air begins to
slowly retreat on Saturday, with highs into the lower to middle
30s.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 331 PM EST Wed Nov 8 2017

Looks like a mostly benign extended period, bookended with some
precipitation potential. The initial chance of precipitation
continues to revolve around a weekend system that hasn't been
handled real well by the blends the past couple of days. More
bullish guidance seems to be drifting towards drier solutions for
Saturday, but remain a bit bullish for Sunday. We are in an
interesting position between a surface low to our south and a
clipper of questionable intensity passing to our north. Just how far
north the clipper stays and how far south the surface low remains
will drive the precip chances for Sunday. Even splitting the middle,
over lake instabilities could support some precip as well. Once
Sunday works itself out, thing will remain quiet with highs warming
into the mid 40s as we head into the end of the extended mid-week. A
cold front attendant to low pressure passing through Hudson Bay will
move through the region bringing the other chance of precipitation.
There could be a mix of rain and snow in the colder early morning
hours, but highs in the mid 40s will support all liquid
precipitation through the daytime hours.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1226 PM EST Wed Nov 8 2017

W/SW flow off Lake Michigan will result in BKN lake cloud cover
impacting PLN/TVC/MBL this afternoon and tonight...CIGS bordering
the VFR/MVFR threshold. APN stays VFR through the day. Arctic cold
front plunges into the region late overnight into Thursday and
will bring a burst of heavier precipitation (mainly snow) to the
terminal sites Thursday morning. Relatively brief period of MVFR
to IFR conditions can be expected. After FROPA...lake effect snow
showers set up for the balance of the day impacting mainly
PLN/TVC/MBL.

Winds will turn gustier from the NW Thursday morning with gusts
into the 20 to 30 knot range by afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 331 PM EST Wed Nov 8 2017

Arctic cold front will press through northern Michigan on
Thursday. Behind the front...very gusty NW winds will develop with
likely gale force gusts on parts of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
Winds will diminish quickly Thursday night.

This hazardous weather outlook is for northern Lower Michigan...
eastern Upper Michigan...and adjacent nearshore waters of Lake
Michigan...Lake Huron and Lake Superior.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Snow will develop later tonight, particularly across eastern upper
and the Tip of the Mitt counties of northern lower Michigan.
Please see the latest winter weather advisories for additional
details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

Arctic air will dip into the Great Lakes region during the Thursday
through Saturday timeframe, leading to well below normal
temperatures. Lake enhanced snow, at times heavy, will occur Thursday
and Thursday night, with several inches of snow expected. Gusty
winds may lead to lowered visibilities due to blowing and drifting
snow. Please see the latest winter weather advisories for additional
details.

Gale force wind gusts are possible on much of northern Lake
Michigan and Lake Huron Thursday and Thursday evening.

Another period of snow is possible later Saturday into Saturday
night.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated.
