Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
327 AM EDT Sun Apr 15 2018

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

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 328 AM EDT Sun Apr 15 2018

The early spring storm will continue into today as a slow moving
storm, centered to our south continues to slowly move east.
Significant accumulations of ice and sleet are expected this
morning before temperatures warm enough to change the freezing
rain to rain near and south of I-96. I will remain windy into this
afternoon and temperatures will remain cold through most of this
coming week. The precipitation should become all snow tonight and
continue into Tuesday morning. Accumulations will be limited.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 328 AM EDT Sun Apr 15 2018

I extended the Winter Storm Warning north of I-96 till late
afternoon as it may take that long for that area to get above
freezing. All of the models, including the hi-res models, show
two bands of heavy precipitation today, the first one comes
through mid morning, then the band on the trailing side of the
system (deformation zone) comes through late morning into mid
afternoon. I expect there will be a significant amount of
freezing rain yet over the northern sections into late afternoon
due to that issue. Winds will continue to be strong and gusty this
morning but diminish this afternoon. Due to the models (03z HRRRX
and others) show around of inch of QPF today with between between
and quarter and half inch of that falling after noon today this
will continue the hazards in northern sections.

Tonight the system finally moves east enough to pull out the warm
layer, so when the wrap around precipitation moves in it will be
cold enough for mostly snow. I expect on and off light snow over
the area into Tuesday morning.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Saturday)
Issued at 328 AM EDT Sun Apr 15 2018

We are looking at one system in the long term that could potentially
impact the area from early Wed through Thu. Otherwise, the other
noteworthy item will be a potential return to near to slightly above
average temps by next weekend.

We expect that the last effects from the current system should move
out just prior to the beginning of the long term on Tue night. The
low will move out, and we will see a short wave ridge control the
weather Tue night and maybe early Wed.

Pcpn chances will increase on Wed from West to East across the area.
A strong short wave trough will emerge from the Rockies, and close
off as it approaches the region. It will advect warmer air ahead of
it, but it will not have a direct moisture feed from the Gulf of
Mexico. The threat of pcpn will linger from Wed into Thu as we see
pcpn ahead of the developing triple point, and then from the parent
low as it translates east.

Much of the pcpn will likely be in the form of rain with this
system. Some snow will be possible on the leading edge of the pcpn
as cool enough air will still be in place and early on Wed before
diurnal heating takes place. Snow will also be possible on Thu when
the colder air moves in on the backside of the low.

Once the system moves out of the area on Thu, a decent ridge aloft
will move in, and with sfc ridging. Milder air will move in as the
low level flow will not be from cold source regions. The mild air,
and sunshine will allow temps to warm toward 60 next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night)
Issued at 143 AM EDT Sun Apr 15 2018

Widespread freezing rain is currently moving in over all of the
terminals as of 0540z, and will hold for at least a few hours.
Temps will begin to rise along I-94 corridor terminals by 12z,
changing pcpn over to plain rain. I-96 terminals may take until
16-18z before changing to rain with above freezing temps. Ice will
accumulate on the ground to around half an inch.

All sites are IFR, except KMKG. IFR will rule through the entire
fcst period.

Very gusty NE winds continue, but will start to diminish after
10z or so. Gusts around 40 knots will be possible initially, and
will diminish to under 10 knots this evening.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 328 AM EDT Sun Apr 15 2018

Winds have began to decrease over the southern parts of our Near
Shore and the models show this decrease in winds will spread north
through the Near Shore by mid afternoon. So for now I expunged the
gale headlines over the southern section in favor a small craft
advisory that I ran through Monday evening. The day shift can
adjust the gale to a small craft as they see fit.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 200 PM EDT Sat Apr 14 2018

As precipitation continues across the region, river levels are
around normal but rising. Precipitation totals will range from over
an inch and a half to around three inches through Sunday night. This
could lead to river flooding, but at this time only the Portage
River near Vicksburg is forecast to go above flood stage. Stay
tuned, as more flood warnings may be on the way if all of the
precipitation is realized.

A major early spring storm will bring a variety of weather types
today and tonight. Rain, with a few embedded non severe
thunderstorms is expected this morning. The rain will be heavy at
times. Rain will change to freezing rain and sleet north of Route
10 by mid morning. Areas north of Route 10 may see wet
snow mix in at times from late morning through this afternoon.

Winds across the area will be gusty, some gusts may be over 50
mph at times. The combination of winds gusting to ear 50 mph at
times with freezing rain is likely to cause some trees or large
branches to fall on power lines that will in turn cause local
power outages. The area of freezing rain and sleet will spread
south with times.

By early afternoon the precipitation should be freezing rain and
sleet from I-96 north. During the afternoon precipitation rates
are expected to be lighter. Tonight another area of precipitation,
that will be heavy at times moves in by mid evening This time
through all areas should be cold enough for freezing rain or
sleet. Significant accumulations of sleet and freezing rain are
expected overnight. It is at this time the more significant
impacts are expected. Winds will continue to be gusty.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

The gusty winds, freezing rain, and sleet are expected into mid
morning. Only rain showers are expected Sunday afternoon but snow
will overspread the area Sunday night and continue into Monday
with some minor accumulations.
