Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
326 PM EST Tue Dec 11 2018

.NEAR TERM...(Through Tonight)
Issued at 321 PM EST Tue Dec 11 2018

...A rather quiet night...

High impact weather potential: None.

Pattern synopsis/forecast: Weak low pressure sliding southeast
vicinity Georgian Bay this afternoon, with attendant primary cold
front cutting across southeast lower Michigan, while a secondary,
partially lake enhanced, surface trough extends northwest from it
near the Saint Marys river. Mid level shortwave (responsible for
that surface low) is exiting stage right, with sharp shortwave
ridging following quickly on its heels into the western Great Lakes.

Large scale pattern remains a progressive one, allowing that
upstream mid level ridge to build quickly overhead tonight, all-the-
while next sharp shortwave trough digs into the Upper Mississippi
Valley by morning.

Primary forecast concerns/challenges: Cloud and temperature trends.

Details: Expect any lingering flurries/patchy light freezing drizzle
to come to an end as moisture depth further decreases with time.
Bigger question heading through tonight is just how much clearing is
realized as moisture depth becomes exceedingly shallow and lake
moisture contribution decreases with light winds and a modifying
thermal environment. Always a tough call this time of year, but tend
to believe at least some breaks in the overcast will occur. Just how
cold temperatures become is highly predicated on just how much
clearing is realized. Current thinking is for lows to range from the
upper teens inland to lower and middle 20s closer to the big waters.
If skies do clear, would expect our typical ice box locations to
become quite a bit colder by sunrise Wednesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Wednesday through Friday)
Issued at 321 PM EST Tue Dec 11 2018

...A slow warming trend with continued chances of a light wintry
mix...

High Impact Weather Potential: Chances for freezing drizzle Tuesday
night and early Wednesday morning and again Thursday.

Primary Forecast Concerns/Challenges: Timing and type of pcpn with
weak features moving through the Great Lakes.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...The chances of light wintry mixed pcpn
will linger across northern Michigan through the work week, as a
couple of weak clippers and shallow upper lvl troughs push quickly
across the northern Great Lakes. Precipitation type, chance and
intensity will all be limited across northern Michigan through the
period, hindered by weak dynamics and continued lack of deep
moisture through the column. 850/500mb and 500/300mb vector
convergence shows the best forcing to be focused over the northern
Great Lakes through Wednesday afternoon, the result of a weak
feature moving across the southern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.
Model soundings show abundant low lvl mstr (within temps between
-10c and 0c) trapped below the inversion through around 12z Wed
before mid and upper lvl mstr increases in the aftn with clipper
pushing across the state. This vertical mstr and temp profile would
suggest freezing drizzle again Wed morning. However, increasing mstr
and ice crystal seeding for aloft develops in mid and upper lvls,
will chance morning drizzle to snow showers by Wed aftn. An area of
high pressure will briefly settle into the Great Lakes Thursday
behind the exiting clipper, with model soundings again showing
abundant low lvl mstr (temps of -10c to 0c) favoring drizzle and
freezing drizzle Wednesday night and Thursday.

The chance for snow increases again Thursday night and Friday as mid
and upper lvl mstr increases in advance of a weak 500mb trough
pushing across the upper Midwest and Great Lakes.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 321 PM EST Tue Dec 11 2018

There will be several chances for light wintry mixed pcpn across the
northern Great Lakes through the weekend, as a series of weak
clippers and shallow upper troughing pass over the region. Expect
drier conditions Monday night through Tuesday as sfc and upper ridge
build over the state and upper Midwest. Mid lvl temps in this
pattern through the weekend will linger around 0c to -2c before
warming to near 5c Monday night and Tuesday in developing upper
ridge.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 127 PM EST Tue Dec 11 2018

MVFR to low end VFR conditions to persist this afternoon. Slow
improvement expected tonight into Wednesday morning as drying
deepens through the column. Light winds through the period.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 321 PM EST Tue Dec 11 2018

Light winds expected this evening, with wind slowly
increasing in speed out of the southeast later tonight into
Wednesday morning. Not a significant wind event, but will likely
experience at least some small craft advisory conditions across
portions of the nearshore waters. Southeast winds, at times gusty,
continue through Wednesday night.
