Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
1017 PM EST Fri Jan 6 2017

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1007 PM EST Fri Jan 6 2017

Really, just more of the same tonight as lake effect snow showers
continue. Flow has trended more westerly, and this backing should
continue for the remainder of the night, with convective boundary
layer winds having a bit more southwest flavor by morning. This
will focus "better" snows further north across northwest lower
Michigan, although very dry air (see 0.06 pwat on KGRB sounding)
and no Lake Superior connection will definitely throttle back on
snow shower intensity. Simple persistence will support some minor
accumulations, likely on the order of an inch or so. Decent snows
still impacting our eastern upper snow belts, centered on
Whitefish Point and Paradise. That backing flow looks to push
better snows offshore through the early morning hours, with most
of the county likely remaining dry until passing trough swings
winds around to northwest on Saturday. This sets up interesting
headline concerns for Chippewa County, with little impacts for a
rather long stretch in current advisory that runs through tomorrow
afternoon. For simplicity and to avoid confusion, gonna ride this
one out for now, understanding that the window for better snows
is a rather short one within the advisory time (a few more hours
tonight and then again Saturday afternoon). It remains chilly
tonight, with lows mostly in the single digits.

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight)
Issued at 222 PM EST Fri Jan 6 2017

...Lake Effect Snow Diminishing but not Stopping...

High Impact Weather Potential...Low visibilities due to lake
effect snow bands across northern Michigan.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...It looks like yesterday's lake
aggregate trough combined with a 500 mb shortwave trough moving
into the Upper Great Lakes, and land breezes overnight has
developed a mesovort into sfc low over E Lake Superior today.
while the low is expected to scoot off to the east, the lake
aggregate trough is expected to remain in place through the next
day or two. This has disrupted the NW flow in E Upper, and the
somewhat west flow in NW Lower overnight and today. The models
have had the right idea, but it seems that everything was placed
too far north as far as the bands were concerned, through the day.
models were trying to put the best band in S Antrim county while
most of the snow has been in N Antrim/S Charlevoix counties,
centered in and around East Jordan. The snow bands have moved
into a more NW configuration as the flow has turned somewhat in
that direction as well.

However, the idea from all of the models is for the winds to turn
more W, and at times WNW, for tonight and Saturday. This would
produce a heavy snow band north of ANJ and Whitefish point, with
some snow bands getting into W Chippewa County.

The west bands will affect NW Lower as well, just not as much with
the drier air in Wisconsin, expected to limit the snow amounts.
However, winds are expected to turn northwest late in the day on
Saturday, so will have to watch for a burst of snow and heavier
bands. late in the day.

Primary Forecast Concerns...wind directions and 850 mb
temperatures.

Wind direction...winds are expected to turn more west and stay
that way until Saturday afternoon. Models begin to show an uptick
in snow fall when that occurs, probably from the better synoptic
moisture and the two lake interaction that the NW flow provides.
With the W wind in Chippewa county, the main area that would be
affected is north of Paradise, a very small part of the county. If
the bands get in there from time to time, it looks like over the
next 24 hours that they could get advisory snow.

In NW Lower, the W wind has been limiting the amounts, except
where there has been some band convergence. It looks like from
latest radar trends that the bands are diminishing and beginning
to reorient themselves to the wind flow expected overnight. This
should produce lower amounts of snow overnight with the west wind.
The concern will be Saturday afternoon, as the winds shift quickly
to the NW, which will tap more synoptic moisture and two lakes.
This could require more headlines for E Upper and NW Lower as we
go into Saturday night.

850 mb Temperatures...Main concern is the colder than -20C air
that will move over the region, and isn't expected to warm until
Sunday. This will produce lake effect snow, pretty much from any
wind direction. However, the snow flake size will vary as the
temperatures get colder(warmer), making the flakes
smaller(larger). NAM, GFS, and ECMWF are all on board with around
-23c as the coldest over N Lake Michigan. The HiRes-ARW is
around -19C, which could produce larger flakes. This did not work
out last night, so will continue to lean toward the smaller flakes
and the colder temperatures.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Saturday and Sunday)
Issued at 222 PM EST Fri Jan 6 2017

...Occasional snow chances with gradually moderating temps...

High impact weather potential: lake effect snow with brisk winds and
blowing/drifting Sat night, especially early.

The clipper shortwave crossing the region late Saturday will help
eject the persistent upper trof over eastern NA. Zonal 500mb flow
will be established by Monday. This will help displace our present
arctic air, with more seasonable temps by Monday. But we'll have to
get thru some lingering lake effect and brisk conditions Sat night
before reaching that point.

Sat night...clipper shortwave will be overhead in the evening, and
dig toward Lk Ontario by morning. Initial area of deeper moisture
will also be departing to the east in the evening. Quick shot of
arctic air behind departing (weak) surface wave will briefly lower
850mb temps to the lower and even mid minus 20s C by midnight.
That's a little chilly for snowflake growth, and in fact Bufr
soundings at the Sault show no DGZ to speak of for part of the
night. But the long fetch across Superior should help that more than
the models prog. Will boost pops in western Chip/Mack, with snowfall
totals around 4 inches in far western Chip and far nw Mack. In
northern lower, we only briefly truly tap Superior (toward midnight)
with a nw fetch, otherwise wnw winds are favored. Moisture
availability is also less further south. Will keep snow amounts in
the 1-3 range in nw lower MI. By morning, the 850mb thermal trof
will already be downstream, with and low- and mid-level warm
advection underway.

Min temps in the single digits and lower teens above zero for most.
The St Marys Valley will likely again drop to single digits below
zero.

Sunday...500mb shortwave ridge arrives in the afternoon. Large/cold
high pressure will build east across the Ohio Valley. Ridge axis
extending north from the high will cross MI during the day. As this
happens, 1000-850mb winds will back west by midday, and sw by
evening. 850mb temps will zoom upward in response, reaching the
lower to mid minus teens C by dusk. Incoming airmass remains dry,
and lake effect snow will struggle to hold together as the winds
back around. Will still need morning pops, especially in western
Chip (where another inch or two is possible), but pops will lower
considerably in the afternoon.

Surface temps will be slower to respond, but will do so somewhat.
Highs in the mid teens to around 20f.

Sun night/Monday...warm advection to continue as high pressure moves
to the mid-Atlantic coast. An upper trof on Hudson Bay will help a
cold front drape southward toward Lake Superior, but for now this
front will not make substantial inroads into upper MI before it
stalls. However, some light snow is likely to break out late Sunday
night, as a weak shortwave interacts with said warm advection. Still
cool enough to have lake enhanced snow to generated by Lake MI,
resulting in at least light accums in eastern upper, nw and far n
central lower MI. Somewhat of a break Monday morning, before another
warm advection wing of deeper moisture develops eastward. This looks
most likely to impact southern WI and sw lower MI, but some pops
remain in order here, in particular sw zones.

Temps will drop only a few degrees Sun night before steadying and
then rising. Max temps will be in the 20s.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 222 PM EST Fri Jan 6 2017

High Impact Weather Potential: Rain and snow mix Tuesday into
Wednesday could make for slick travel conditions.

Primary concern for the extended period is a robust low moving out
of the central Plains and into the Great Lakes for
Tuesday/Wednesday. Strong warm advection ahead of the system could
see temperatures climb to nearly 40 in some areas on Tuesday, which
will bring a mix of rain and snow through the day for most of
northern Lower, and possibly into eastern Upper. Overnight/into
early morning will see a switch back over to snow. This wintry mix
on Tuesday could make for difficult travel conditions as the rain
falls on already frozen surfaces.

Warm advection associated with another, weaker system later in the
week could see a rain/snow mix creep into southern portions of the
CWA. There is considerable spread in temperature guidance at this
point, so will continue to monitor this scenario as we get closer.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 731 PM EST Fri Jan 6 2017

Mostly weak lake effect processes to continue through Saturday
morning in light west to southwest flow regime. Believe much of
the period will feature VFR conditions, although passing snow
showers will briefly drop both cigs and vis, perhaps as low as IFR
at times. Passing trough looks to bring an uptick in snow shower
activity Saturday afternoon and evening, particularly in those
areas favored by northwest flow (which largely impacts areas
between taf locations). Light winds become gusty west to northwest
after this trough passage, which could result in some blowing and
drifting snow later Saturday.

.MARINE...
Issued at 222 PM EST Fri Jan 6 2017

Tonight through Sunday...Winds tonight look like they marginally
get to small craft, and really don't ramp up until the sfc low in
E Lake Superior moves out during the day on Saturday. Once that
happens, winds quickly get to small craft criteria by the
afternoon, but fall back when the high builds into the region
Saturday night and Sunday.
