Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
1104 AM EST Sun Dec 3 2017

LATEST UPDATE...
Marine

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 319 AM EST Sun Dec 3 2017

A strong low pressure system will track northeastward through the
Great Lakes region Monday into Tuesday. A powerful cold front will
swing eastward through Lower Michigan Monday night into Tuesday
morning. Ahead of this front the airmass will be unseasonably mild
but behind it the temperatures will turn sharply colder. A band of
showers and thunderstorms along with gusty winds will accompany
the passage of this front.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 319 AM EST Sun Dec 3 2017

To start there was some dense fog in the FFX to RQB corridor and
webcams show some around Hart. Ludington has be touching 1/2 mile.
The temperature was below freezing. HRRR shows the fog expanding
southeast over the next couple of hours. Even though we had no
reports of slick conditions...I issued a headline for freezing fog
given the likelihood for it to persist through daybreak for the
northern couple of rows. May need to expand it southeast with
time.

I added thunder to the forecast for Monday afternoon into Monday
night. Elevated instability is forecasted along with a low level
jet moving in. So a risk is there. We will need to monitor the
winds. 850 to 925 mb values go over 50 knots and there will be
some mixing with the frontal passage. May see some power outages.

The snow at this time looks like it will not get too organized
until after 4 pm Tue.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Saturday)
Issued at 319 AM EST Sun Dec 3 2017

A wintry wx pattern will develop through the long range forecast
period with below normal temperatures and lake effect snow showers
as an upper level trough amplifies and then remains entrenched
over the Great Lakes region mid to late week. High temperatures
through the long term fcst period will only reach the upper 20's
to lower 30's with min temps mainly in the teens to lower 20's.

Westerly flow lake effect snow showers will already begin to develop
Tuesday night as h8 temps fall to around -14 C by 12Z Wednesday
yielding delta t/s in the upper teens to lower 20s. Several upper
level disturbances will drop down from the northwest and reinforce
the upper level trough/cold air over our region.

They will also bring periodic boosts to inversion heights prior to
moving through and also enhance the snow showers from time to time
as that occurs in conjunction with enhanced lift from those systems.

Depth of moisture is somewhat in question but we believe the dgz
should be saturated or nearly saturated most of the time mid to late
week as medium range guidance typically under do depth of
moisture in this type of synoptic pattern.

As always direction/strength of low level winds will be very
important in determining how lake effect snow shower orientation is
modulated from time to time. Overall prevailing west/nw flow will
result in decent les potential for at least our western two tiers of
counties and further inland as well on days with stronger winds.

Bottom line... cold with lake effect snow showers through the long
range fcst period. Impacts to travel are probable mid to late week
into next weekend particularly near to west of US-131.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday morning)
Issued at 632 AM EST Sun Dec 3 2017

Patchy dense ground fog will give way to VFR clouds through most
of the period. Rain will be moving in from the west later
tonight...mainly after 09z. Thus a risk lowering visibilities and
ceilings exists. I did add wind shear to the KMKG taf as a low
level jet moves in later tonight for KMKG

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 1104 AM EST Sun Dec 3 2017

Will upgrade the gale watch to a warning starting 5 AM Monday
morning. South winds will ramp up by then to 35 knots or greater.
This will be a long duration event, lasting into early Wednesday
morning. We even approach storm force winds later Monday into
Monday night.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 1158 AM EST Sat Dec 2 2017

There is very little change in the going forecast. Precipitation
is expected to hold off until late Monday. No flooding is forecast
through the next fews days, as most rivers are slowly returning to
normal streamflows. Only a couple of locations remain elevated.

The upcoming week will feature two relative max areas for precip.
One will remain well off to the south over the Tennessee Valley,
where 7-day totals could exceed 2 inches. The other will be closer
to home, distributed over the Northern Great Lakes, also
accumulating around the 2 inch benchmark. Southwest Michigan is
conveniently between these maxima with totals generally in the
0.50-1.00 range through Friday night.

The majority of the moisture will fall in the form of rain Monday
night into Tuesday. Much colder air will race in from the north,
resulting in lake effect snow for the second half of the week.
Therefore, the earlier round of moisture will be the primary
feedback for streams and rivers. Most rises will come through mid
and late week. Snowfall through the second half of the week is
likely to have little or no contribution to rivers. Fortunately,
rivers that are currently elevated across Souther Lower Michigan,
may avoid the 1 inch amounts that will may fall north of I-96.
