Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
1149 PM EST Sun Nov 11 2018
.UPDATE...
Issued at 957 PM EST Sun Nov 11 2018
Lake effect into the tip of the mitt had consistently waned since
the previous update. That is, until the last 45 minutes or so,
when another (final?) shot of mid-level moisture has contributed
to an uptick into Emmet Co. Suspect this will be relatively brief,
as mid-level moisture will decrease as 500mb heights tick upwards
ever-so-slightly overnight. Nam Bufr soundings at PLN show drying
in the 5-10k ft layer overnight, and a corresponding lowering of
inversion heights from 7k to 5k ft.
So expect the current uptick to be relatively brief, but it is
enough to warrant maintaining the current headlines over far
northern lower MI. Meanwhile, sub-850mb winds have veered enough
such that bands are just scraping by St Ignace and Drummond Isl.
Advisories for Chip/Mack Cos were set to expire at 10pm, and have
let them do so. Have also lowered Leelanau-Antrim Cos; there is
little going on there now, and though activity will migrate
southward with time overnight into the morning, we should be in a
weakening stage by then.
UPDATE Issued at 632 PM EST Sun Nov 11 2018
Continued vigorous lake enhanced bands poking into far northern
lower MI have required an upgrade to a warning for Emmet Co. The
central portion of Emmet, between Levering and Petoskey, will see
total accums of 5-10 inches. Recent HRRR runs show nearly 0.50"
of liquid QPF in this area. That is probably a little too high,
which is good, as that would equate to over a foot of snow.
Will be cautiously watching neighboring counties (especially
Cheboygan) for any potential need for an upgrade.

.NEAR TERM...(Through Tonight)
Issued at 300 PM EST Sun Nov 11 2018
...Lake Snow Showers Through Tonight...
High Impact Weather Potential: Accumulating lake snows for parts
of NW lower Michigan.
Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Afternoon analysis reveals low
amplitude short-wave trough advancing across northern Michigan,
attending surface low is across the U.P./Lake Superior. Main QG-
forcing for ascent ahead of the wave is moving out of the CWA
evidenced by diminishing trend to the larger scale snowfall across
the region. But SW flow enhancement continues off Lake Michigan
into NW lower Michigan of course with the heaviest snows impacting
the Lake Michigan shoreline from Grand Traverse Bay up through
Charlevoix/Emmet and parts of Cheboygan county and eastern upper
Michigan.
Primary Forecast Concerns: Ongoing lake enhancement and
accumulations.
QG-forcing for ascent and remaining widespread snowfall ends this
evening. However, low level flow veering more westerly in time
and favorable lake effect parameters will continue to target areas
from Leelanau county up through the tip of the mitt for a good
part of the night. Plan to extend/expand advisories for Emmet/
Charlevoix Cheboygan counties through tonight and I may add
Leelanau and Antrim counties back into the mix for good measure
(with lake banding skirting Leelanau and heavier elements
impacting Antrim county).
Further north, it's been difficult to tell exactly what's
happening today along the Lake Michigan and Huron shoreline. But
have to believe that heavier convective elements are getting into
the southern parts of Chip/Mack counties. Will probably just leave
the advisories up there alone for now. They expire at 03Z which
corresponds well with winds veering more westerly tonight.

.SHORT TERM...(Monday through Wednesday)
Issued at 300 PM EST Sun Nov 11 2018
High Impact Weather Potential: Accumulating lake effect snow
expected at times, primarily across WNW/NW flow snowbelts.
Pattern Synopsis: Winter-like pattern continues through midweek
across northern Michigan led off by a weak cold front crossing the
forecast area during the day Monday, all while a storm system a
storm system emerges across the southeastern tier of the CONUS and
rides toward the East Coast. A well-defined shortwave will carve
through the Great Lakes region on Tuesday, bringing a reinforcing
shot of cold air before heights aloft slowly begin to rise through
the day Wednesday...at least briefly.
Primary Forecast Concerns/Challenges: Lake effect snow potential
through the forecast period.
Overall large scale pattern will remain supportive of continued lake
effect snow chances downwind of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior
Monday through at least Tuesday night. Aforementioned cold front
crossing the region during the day Monday along with renewed
troughing overhead as shortwave troughing digs into the region
Monday night-Tuesday will combine to deliver continued cold air
aloft...evident by H8 temps falling from roughly -10 C Monday
morning to -16 C. Plenty of lake induced instability will result as
delta Ts range from 15-20 C; however, as was alluded to by the prior
forecaster, subsidence inversion heights through the period
generally varying from 4-6 kft and moisture limited to sub 800 mb
should limit the overall coverage and intensity of snow showers.
Steering flow varying from WNW to NW should focus the most
persistent snows across the typical areas of northern
Chippewa/northwest Mackinac counties and along and west of I-75
across parts of northwest lower. Tuesday will likely be the day to
feature more robust snow shower activity as synoptic support
increases from the aforementioned shortwave sliding across the
region overhead. In terms of snowfall amounts, generally an inch or
less during the day Monday, and 1-2" in any 12-hour block of time
Monday night through Tuesday night at any given location with the
WNW/NW flow snowbelts.
Lake effect chances will gradually diminish Tuesday night into
Wednesday as heights begin to rise and low-mid level warm air
advection takes over.
Below normal temperatures continue through the period with the
coolest day expected on Tuesday as high temperatures top out in the
mid-upper 20s for most areas...perhaps tagging 30 degrees nearest
the Great Lakes shorelines.
.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 300 PM EST Sun Nov 11 2018
High Impact Weather Potential: Additional accumulating snow possible
Friday through the remainder of next weekend.
Rather tranquil conditions expected Wednesday night through Thursday
night across northern Michigan; however, a potent clipper system and
attendant cold front is expected to sweep across the region on
Friday. This is expected to lead to more accumulating snow chances
across parts of northern Michigan through the remainder of next
weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night)
Issued at 1148 PM EST Sun Nov 11 2018
Borderline IFR vsbys at times at PLN overnight. Otherwise MVFR to
VFR.
Lake enhanced snow continues in northern MI, but is tending to
diminish. PLN will flirt with IFR vsby overnight with some of the
better snow showers in that area. Elsewhere, VFR to MVFR
conditions will prevail in light snow at times and with a lake-
induced stratocu deck.
Light winds tonight, a w to nw breeze Monday.

.MARINE...
Issued at 300 PM EST Sun Nov 11 2018
Southwest winds have been a little gusty today but largely short
of small craft advisory criteria. Have already trimmed out the
Lake Michigan nearshore zones and the Lake Huron zones will end at
6 pm this evening. Winds gradually veer into the NW tonight
through Monday. But I do not anticipate any marine headlines for
the next few days.
