Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
327 AM EST Mon Jan 30 2017

LATEST UPDATE...
Synopsis/Short Term/Long Term/Marine

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 327 AM EST Mon Jan 30 2017

Lake effect snow showers along the lakeshore will spread inland and
diminish through this morning. After a brief break, snow will move
back in across the area this evening and continue into the overnight
hours with an area of low pressure. Heaviest amounts of snow will be
south of I-96 where 3 to 5 inches of snow are expected. Amounts will
gradually taper off to the north.

Some snow showers will remain possible into Wednesday, before the
chances will taper off. Temperatures will start out the period near
average. They will then cool off to below average levels later this
week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 327 AM EST Mon Jan 30 2017

We will be keeping the ongoing advisory for lake effect snow showers
for Allegan and Van Buren this morning with decent snow showers
still affecting those areas. We will also be issuing an advisory for
the clipper snow for tonight and Tue morning for the I-96 corridor
and areas south.

Ongoing lake effect band that was snowing at 1-2 inches per hour in
some locales last evening has diminished some in intensity as it is
no longer a dominant band as it was earlier. There are still some
decent snow showers, however these will disperse as they move inland
over the next few hours. There is still enough to justify keeping
the advisory going for Allegan and Van Buren counties for now,
especially with the morning commute coming up.

Other than the residual lake effect dissipating and dispersing
inland, today will be rather quiet. Clouds look like they will hold
in for most areas with the mean low level flow shifting from NNW
this morning to SW this afternoon.

The models have been fairly consistent with the placement and
orientation of the heaviest snow coming in with the clipper for the
past 24 hours or so. This heavy snow band looks to occur just south
of the I-96 corridor. A Isentropic wing of light snow will move in
toward 00z tonight out ahead of the system. The heaviest burst of
snow should occur from mid-evening into the early overnight hours as
the nose of a 50+ knot low level jet is aimed at the srn half of the
CWFA. The snow intensity will diminish a bit by daybreak, but light
snow will continue with the sfc low still yet to come through.

The light snow will then tend to shift north through Tuesday. The
sfc low will move ESE of the area, however we will see some LFQ
upper jet dynamics move through that will focus across the nrn
portion of the CWFA. This forcing is not nearly as strong, and
amounts should only be an inch or two up north, tapering off as you
head south.

Snow showers will then continue Tue night as short wave(s) are
likely to move through the area. Temps aloft will not be very
conducive for much lake effect/enhancement as H850 temps will only
be around -7 to -9C much of the night. When temps drop more on Wed
making lake effect more favorable, inversion heights and moisture
depth becomes quite unfavorable at only around 4k feet or so.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 327 AM EST Mon Jan 30 2017

A cold air mass will be in place with below normal temperatures
expected through the period. Much of the time is dry up until
Sunday, when another system brings chances for snow.

The more immediate challenge will be timing the end to the lake
effect snow showers late Wednesday into Thursday. WNW flow of 10-20
kts, 850 temps around -17C and somewhat moist profile would
typically be supportive of LES. However, the DGZ begins to crash and
most of the omega is confined near the lakeshore. Therefore, inland
locations will likely remain snow-free Thursday, while light lake
effect snow showers cannot be ruled out west of U.S. 131.

At the very least, Friday and Saturday should be completely dry with
high pressure building in over the Midwest. The next chance of snow
moves in by Sunday. Both long range models have us somewhat split
between a northern and southern stream systems. The GFS favors the
southern system with a more northern track through the Ohio Valley.
The ECM weakens this same system and favors the northern stream.
Either solution should only yield light snow during the day Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night)
Issued at 1252 AM EST Mon Jan 30 2017

The first concern will be in the first few hours of the forecast
mainly at KMKG. Northerly flow continues to result in moderate to
heavy lake effect snow along the Lake Michigan coastline and
could lead to IFR conditions at times. Most snow showers will
stay within 20 miles or so of the coast, but a few could make it
into KAZO before fizzling out. The remainder of the sites should
be MVFR or VFR through tonight.

Winds will transition from north to southwest Monday morning,
bringing a few lake effect snow showers. Lake effect snow showers
should not be as intense with lower inversion heights. Condition
are likely to vary between VFR and MVFR until later in the
afternoon.

A clipper system moves in Monday evening with widespread snow
developing over the entire area. IFR vsbys/cigs are likely to
impact all sites late Monday evening into Monday night.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 327 AM EST Mon Jan 30 2017

Small craft advisory conditions will drop off this morning, only to
come back up later this afternoon and evening with the next system.
We expect that an advisory will be needed for much of this week,
with Gales not out of the question around Wednesday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 1137 AM EST Sun Jan 29 2017

River levels continue above normal across the area, including some
minor out-of-bank flooding. Advisories continue for:  the Grand
River At Ionia, the Looking Glass River Near Eagle, and the Maple
River At Maple Rapids. River levels should slowly fall through the
week, as cold air and snow this week should have little effect on
the rivers.
