Flood Statement
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
1259 PM EST Fri Feb 23 2018

...The flood warning continues for the following rivers in Southwest 
Lower Michigan...

  Kalamazoo River At Comstock affecting Kalamazoo County
  Kalamazoo River Near New Richmond affecting Allegan County
  Battle Creek At Battle Creek affecting Calhoun County
  St Joseph River At Burlington affecting Calhoun County

...The flood warning continues for the following rivers in Southwest 
Lower Michigan...

  Portage River Near Vicksburg affecting Kalamazoo County

.Major flooding is occurring along the Kalamazoo River at Comstock,
and water levels will continue to slowly rise in Comstock and Kalamazoo
until the river crests at record levels tonight. High river levels
have resulted in water covering many roads in Kalamazoo along the river.
Do not drive through flood waters or around barricades. The river level 
at Comstock is expected to remain above the record flood stage until 
Saturday night, with water levels then slowly falling through early next 
week. 

Elsewhere along the Kalamazoo River, flooding is less severe and will
remain in the minor category as the river crests. Battle Creek has already 
crested and water levels will continue to fall tonight and through the 
weekend.

Drizzle is expected for the remainder of today, which will not contribute 
to flooding. Additional rainfall is expected Saturday night into early
Sunday. Rainfall amounts are not expected to be heavy enough to worsen
flooding, but may delay water from receding.

The following forecast is based on observed and forecast 48 hour 
precipitation.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Safety message...Motorists should not attempt to drive around 
barricades or drive cars through flooded areas.

Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local 
radio... television... or NOAA Weather Radio station for further 
information.

Additional weather and river information can be found on our homepage

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
634 AM EST Thu Feb 22 2018

LATEST UPDATE...
Aviation

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 328 AM EST Thu Feb 22 2018

Surface high pressure over the area this morning will result in
mostly cloudy skies and afternoon temperatures slightly above
normal between 35 to 40 degrees. The next system comes through the
area tonight into Friday morning. This will bring the threat of
some light freezing rain, possibly mixed with sleet and snow over
northern sections late tonight into mid morning Friday. It will
warm enough that all areas will see just rain showers my mid to
late morning Friday. That will be followed by a surface high
Friday night into Saturday morning. However a much stronger system
from the southern plains deepens rapidly and comes through
Southwest Michigan Saturday night. This time it should be warm
enough that most areas will just have rain showers. Our northeast
sections could see a little freezing rain Saturday night however.
This system moves out of the area by Sunday evening.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 406 AM EST Thu Feb 22 2018

On farther consideration, it seemed to me our hourly temperature
grids were to cold tonight given the cloud cover so I updated the
temperature, dew point, relative humidity and weather grids from 7
pm this evening till 7 am Friday morning. In so doing we now have
freezing rain mostly near and north of Route 10 overnight into
Friday morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 328 AM EST Thu Feb 22 2018

Our main forecast issues for this forecast package is the threat
of freezing rain and sleet late tonight into the mid morning hours
of Friday. The question is will there be enough ice to warrant a
Winter Weather Advisory. Since for the most part the energy with
this system bifurcates Southwest Michigan (north and south of
here), we do not get much in the way of total precipitation
amounts. Also considering air temperatures should go above
freezing today and skies will be cloudy tonight I wonder if air
temperatures will even get below freezing over most of our CWA
tonight in the first place. Based on the questionable nature of
the freezing rain in the first place and even if it happens is
likely to have minimal impacts, I do not intend to issue an
advisory.

As for the "BIG PICTURE", we still have large upper level high
over the Southeastern CONUS with our Polar Vortex upper low
displaced southward into Hudson Bay with a deep trough over the
western CONUS. This creates a "Train track" set up for surface
lows to follow toward the Great Lakes area. This pattern finally
breaks down early next week, but until then we will continue to
see systems coming out of the western trough into the Great Lakes.

The next system bifurcates us tonight into Friday, meaning the
deep moisture and southern stream energy stay south of us and the
jet lift event on polar jet core will stay north of us. We get
minimal amounts of precipitation with this sort of set up. So,
while it is likely we will see some light precipitation between
midnight and sunrise, it will be light, mostly less than a tenth
of an inch.

Once that comes through we wait for the next system which is
talked about in the Long Term discussion.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 328 AM EST Thu Feb 22 2018

The ecmwf continues the trend it started yesterday in that's it
quickly moving toward the gfs solution for the storm moving through
the Great Lakes this weekend. The reason for this is the development
of the upper trough on the ecmwf.

The ecmwf sfc low is roughly 10mb lower than the 00z run yesterday
and is now only 10mb higher than the gfs. Both tracks take the low
through Wisconsin which places the cwa in the warm sector. However,
this system will occlude around the time it gets to Lake Michigan
and so the warmest air will be pushed off to the southeast. Models
also indicate the heaviest precipitation will remain southeast of
the cwa on the convective side and well to the northwest on the cold
side. We're looking at around a quarter inch of pcpn possible
Saturday night and early Sunday. It's also possible that there could
be some mixed precipitation in the form of snow/sleet/freezing rain
over the northeast cwa Saturday evening before warmer air moves in.
The low is progd to deepen as it moves by and so Sunday could be
rather breezy.

Mostly dry weather is expected from late Sunday through early
Wednesday when the gfs develops another low in Oklahoma and moves it
toward the Great Lakes. The ecmwf isn't remotely close to the gfs
with this system nor is the canadian model so we're not going
overboard with pops.

Highs in the mid 40s are expected during the extended which is
roughly 10 degrees above normal.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 635 AM EST Thu Feb 22 2018

Solid VFR conditions are expected through 03z at all TAF sites.
The area of rain south of Michigan will stay south of our TAF
sites this morning.

IFR cigs will become widespread overnight (after 06z) as another
area of rain moves this way from our southwest. At this point it
does not look like freezing rain will be an issue but it will be
close. Air temperatures will be in the mid 30s, so it is possible
wet bulb cooling when the rain starts could result in a brief
period of freezing rain.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 327 PM EST Wed Feb 21 2018

Most recent observations along some of the smaller streams have
indicated that levels are nearing their peaks. Most smaller streams
and rivers will do so between now and Wednesday evening. Larger
rivers continue to rise with the greatest impacts to come later in
the week and into the weekend. Overall, observed river levels have
line up fairly well with forecast trends and most adjustments have
been minor with each update.

Areal flooding will subside through the evening or has already
subsided, while the greatest concern going forward will exist along
the larger rivers through the weekend. Particular focus will be on
the Red Cedar River and Grand River as rises continue to impact the
Lansing area and water funnels downstream to Grand Rapids. River
levels in Lansing and Grand Rapids will be among some of the
historical crests. Levels in Grand Rapids could come close to 2013
levels, while levels around Lansing will be most comparable to 1975.
Many roads and locations along each of the river are already
impacted and will only continue to see waters rise this weekend.

Various other rivers through Southwest Lower Michigan continue to
experience minor to moderate flooding. Impacts expressed in previous
discussions remain valid and recent advisory/warning products can be
referenced for impacts specific to each river and site.

Light rain is expected to bring about one-tenth of an inch of
precipitation late Thursday into Friday. This will have no impact on
current forecasts. The next system will come over the weekend, late
Saturday into Sunday with around one-quarter to around three-tenths
of an inch. These amounts may stall improvement slightly. However,
this system will be one to watch, as higher precipitation amounts
are just south of Lower Michigan and any northward adjustment could
further impact forecasts. For now, no additional impacts are
expected.

Ingham-Van Buren-Kalamazoo-Calhoun-Jackson-
346 AM EST Thu Feb 22 2018

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of southwest Lower
Michigan.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Flooding continues to be a significant issue with many roads (as
of midnight) still closed in most of the counties in this area.
Water levels continue to recede slowly but remain high enough yet
to be a significant travel problem.

Freezing rain, sleet are expected late tonight but for the most
part this is more likely near and north of Route 10. Precipitation
amounts are expected to be light, still any ice could create
travel issues.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

River levels are expected to remain high into the weekend as the
precipitation routes it way down area rivers.

The area of freezing rain will quickly lift out of the area by mid
morning Friday. Ice accumulations will be mostly less than a tenth
of an inch. This may impact the morning commute over our northern
areas.

Another system will move through the area Saturday night into
Sunday morning. That will bring mostly rain but we could see
freezing rain north and east of Grand Rapids early Sunday morning.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
