Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
235 AM EST Wed Nov 8 2017

.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 232 AM EST Wed Nov 8 2017

...Surge of Arctic air and Snow arrive later tonight...

High impact weather potential...Beginning stages of what is looking
like a pretty significant lake enhanced snow event arrives later
tonight.

Pattern synopsis/forecast...Northern Michigan currently lying along
southern extent of deep central Noam trough axis, the center of
which is located along the western fringes of Hudson Bay. Sharp
shortwave trough and elongated upper jet core dropping along western
fringe of this trough, the combination of which will help drive a
quick hitting early season Arctic surge of air into our area to end
this work week. Developing cold front back across southern Canada
into the northern Plains marks the leading edge of this cold air,
with this front expected to sharpen up and increase in strength as
it makes its way into the region later tonight. Attendant increased
low/mid level forcing and a burgeoning lake response looks to bring
a period of impactful winter weather later tonight, continuing
through Thursday and Friday.

Primary forecast concerns/challenges: Timing of snow arrival, snow
amounts, and multi-period winter weather headline considerations
through Friday morning.

Details: Not much to worry about today as current overhead dry
airmass is slow to leave. Arrival of lead surface trough very late
today may bring a bit of lake enhanced snow showers into the far
northern reaches of eastern upper, but not a big deal for sure. West
winds do pick up a bit today, adding just a bit of chill to expected
highs ranging from the mid 30s to mid 40s.

Quiet conditions continue through this evening, with perhaps just a
few light snow showers clipping areas up near Whitefish Point. That
all begins to change during the early morning hours of Thursday with
arrival of that sharpening cold front and surge of deeper moisture.
Expect snow to increase in coverage along this front, with the pre-
frontal environment plenty cold enough to drum up some lake
enhancement. Timing of front/attendant wind shift still uncertain,
which will have significant impacts on where/when heaviest snows
will occur. Given "warm" lake waters, will hedge a bit toward the
slower end of the guidance spectrum. This keeps best snows across
eastern upper and the tip of the mitt counties before sunrise, with
northwest lower experiencing their more significant snows shortly
thereafter. Not expecting snow amounts to get too out of hand
tonight, on the order of one to two inches across eastern upper and
up near the Straits. However, definitely more accumulating snow
expected Thursday and Thursday night, especially in those all-to-
familiar snowbelt locations (see that information in the short term
section below).

Headline considerations: After in-house collaboration with short
term forecaster, and given this is the first widespread snow event
of the season, definitely feel winter weather advisories are
warranted (not out of the question for isolated warning level snow
amounts). Traditional lake effect regions of both peninsulas will be
included for now, understanding more counties may need to be added
later.

.SHORT TERM...(Thursday through Friday)
Issued at 232 AM EST Wed Nov 8 2017

...Accumulating snow, windy and cold Thursday-Thursday night...

High Impact Weather Potential: Accumulating lake enhanced snow
possible Thursday morning before transitioning to northwest flow
lake effect snow Thursday afternoon. Combined with increasingly
gusty winds...hazardous travel is expected in some locations.

Pattern Forecast: By Thursday morning, well-advertised arctic front
will be impeding quickly on northern Michigan with a wave of
surface low pressure deepening along the tightest pressure gradient
across eastern Upper/southern Ontario. As a result, a period of lake
enhanced snow, increasingly gusty winds and colder temperatures are
anticipated across northern Michigan. As the front shifts southward,
chilly air will continue to sink into the region allowing lake
effect snow to continue across the typical lake belts of northwest
Lower and eastern Upper through Thursday night before high pressure
quickly arrives from the west during the day Friday.

Primary Forecast Concerns/Challenges: Snow amounts Thursday through
Friday morning, along with impacts from increasingly gusty winds and
cold temperatures/wind chills.

Confidence continues to grow with respect to the finer details for
the Thursday through Friday morning time frame. Current expectation
continues to be for a burst of heavy snow just ahead of and along
the southeastward moving cold front Thursday morning...colocated
with the greatest fgen response and low level moisture convergence
...and likely coinciding with the morning commute for portions of
northwest Lower/Tip of the Mitt. By midday, the initial shot of
heavy snow is expected to be exiting east of the forecast area with
additional lake processes quick to ramp up over both Lake Superior
and Lake Michigan. H8 temps plunging into the mid-upper teens below
zero will yield impressive over-lake instability (delta Ts nearing
30 C) and with low level winds progged to be nearly steady state for
a period of time (~310-325 degrees), northwest flow lake belts look
to see the most persistent lake effect snow showers and heaviest
accumulation through Thursday evening. Current expectation is for 2-
5 inches of new snow to fall during the day Thursday along and west
of I-75 in NW flow lake effect locales with lesser amounts elsewhere
(less than an inch as you head toward Saginaw Bay). That said, I
wouldn't be shocked to see a couple locations top 5 inches in
locations where the most persistent lake effect falls Thursday
afternoon, but pinpointing where that will be at this juncture is
fairly low confidence (somewhere in the Antrim, Kalkaska, Otsego
county area would be a good bet though).

Thursday night, low level winds ever so gradually veer more north-
northwesterly...likely shifting the steadiest lingering lake effect
toward the GTV Bay region and into western Chip/Mack counties.
Additional accumulation on the order on an inch of two, again
focused in western Chip/Mack and GTV Bay, with lesser amounts
elsewhere downwind of Lake Michigan and none east of I-75.

Only to add to the potential impacts of a period of heavy snow
Thursday morning and continuing LES throughout the day will be
increasingly gusty winds behind the front and falling temperatures.
Gusts upwards of 30 mph in the Great Lakes collar counties look
likely (up to 25 mph inland), which is expected to create additional
reduction to visibility in blowing snow... especially where the
heaviest accumulation occurs. Early morning Thursday high temps in
the low-mid 30s are expected to be falling throughout the day with
wind chill temps in the teens Thursday afternoon... falling to the
single digits by the evening into the overnight hours.

Winds continue to veer more northerly by early Friday morning;
however, the arrival of high pressure from the west is expected to
gradually shut off any lingering lake effect across the far
southwestern counties by the midday hours. A bit of lingering
gustiness near the Lake Huron shoreline should subside as well,
although there's no way around the continued cold temps as highs top
out in the 20s area-wide.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 232 AM EST Wed Nov 8 2017

High impact weather potential: Another round of accumulating snow
possible Saturday-Saturday night, although remains low confidence.

Primary focus in extended period of the forecast revolves around
Saturday through Saturday night timeframe as a Pacific originated
wave carves shortwave troughing across the northern tier of the
CONUS late this week into the upcoming weekend. The envelope of
solutions remains fairly wide as a lack of guidance consistency
provides little in the way of confidence with one solution over
another. The potential is certainly there for another period of
accumulating snow as attendant surface low pressure develops over
the northern Plains and treks toward the Great Lakes. Certainly
warrants keeping one eye on as we first deal with Thursday's system.

Temperatures will begin to moderate in a more meaningful way Sunday
as the arctic air retreats northward, with highs reaching the upper
30s-low 40s...heading toward the mid 40s by the middle of next
week.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night)
Issued at 1145 PM EST Tue Nov 7 2017

Strong surface ridging and dry air thru the column will remain the
rule thru Wednesday evening across Northern Lower Michigan...
maintaining solid VFR conditions for all TAF sites thru 06Z
Thursday. Scattered to broken deck of lake clouds will continue to
stream into portions of far Northern and NW Lower Michigan...but
these clouds will not preclude persistent VFR conditions. Light/variable
winds tonight will become W/SW at around 10 kts on Wednesday with
gusts to 15 to 20 kts possible...especially around PLN.

.MARINE...
Issued at 232 AM EST Wed Nov 8 2017

Shot of very cold air set to visit the area to end this
week. Very gusty northwest winds to deliver this cold shot Thursday
into Thursday evening, with gale force wind gusts looking
increasingly likely on many parts of northern Lake Michigan and Lake
Huron. Small craft advisories expected elsewhere.

Arctic air will dip into the Great Lakes region during the Thursday
through Saturday timeframe...leading to well below normal temperatures.
A period of lake enhanced snow is expected Thursday into Thursday
evening with a few inches of snow accumulation possible...mainly
in the snowbelts of eastern upper and northern lower. Gusty winds
may lead to lowered visibilities due to blowing and drifting snow.
Lake effect snow will continue Thursday night then diminish Friday.

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

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated.
