.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 344 PM EST TUE JAN 29 2019
...Dangerous cold with frequent white-outs near Lake Superior
over the next few days...
Big concerns in near term focus on the bitter cold and winter
weather headlines and the likelihood for blizzard conditions over
Alger and Northern Schoolcraft counties tonight into Wednesday.
WV imagery and RAP analysis indicated the center of the deep
mid/upper level low (polar vortex) over northern MN resulting in
cyclonic ssw flow into Upper Michigan. At the surface, a low was
located near Marquette with a cold front extending south through
south central Upper Mi and northeast WI. A trough extended across
southern Lake Superior. The reinforcing surge of very cold Arctic
air was already moving into western Upper Mi behind the front
with temps dropping to around -10F at KIWD early this afternoon
with winds gusting near 30 mph. The trough and its associated
strong convergence over Lake Superior have contributed to a series
of mesolows over eastern Lake Superior which are readily apparent
on visible satellite and radar imagery. Webcams have shown
whiteout conditions as these mesolow snow bands have moved onshore
today.
Initial mesolow snow band moving into eastern Alger County and far
northern Schoolcraft County early this afternoon will be followed by
an intense mesolow band in the next few hours as a secondary cold
front moves through. These bands will be causing whiteout conditions
and near-zero visibility along with gusty winds. Winds will pick up
behind the front this evening as model soundings show deep mixing
through at least 5kft. NNW winds gusts approaching 40 mph especially
along the Lake Superior shore will combine with fine-flaked lake
effect snow and blowing snow to cause blizzard conditions which will
continue into Wednesday. Thus, have upgraded the winter storm
warning to blizzard warning for Alger and northern Schoolcraft
through Wed night. Winds and blizzard conditions will begin to
subside late Wed evening.
Tonight into Wednesday, Across the rest of the cwa northwest flow
LES will continue as equilibrium heights remain in the 10k-12k ft
range. However, as 850 mb temps of -30C to -33C move across the
lake tonight into Wed morning and the DGZ gets squashed near the
sfc of the lake this will reduce snowflake size and limit the
potential for higher accumulations at most locations. However,
expect focused stronger snow bands to produce at least moderate
snow amounts of 3- 6"/12 hours over Porcupine Mts and also over
Alger into northern Schoolcraft counties, including the Seney
Stretch. The combination of gusty winds to around 35 mph and the
small snowflakes will produce very low vsby in the LES areas. The
winds will also be strong enough to push the bands into northern
portions of Delta county and much of Schoolcraft county tonight.
Even with some lake moderation in the nw flow, dangerous wind
chill values into the -30 to -40 range are expected late today
into Wednesday.
Only other change to headlines beside the upgrade to blizzard
warning for Alger-northern Schoolcraft was to extend winter weather
advisory for Delta County until 18Z Wed to capture coldest wind
chills into the early afternoon hours on Wed. Winter storm warnings
for nw counties and Luce county til 12z Thu for extended dangerous
low winds chills and lake effect snow/blsn conditions still look
good. Winter wx advisories for southern Houghton thru Marquette
County also look good through Wed mid-afternoon for combination of
dangerous wind chills and potential for lake effect snow/blsn near
the lake. Kept wind chill warnings through Wed for Iron-Dickinson-
Menominee with the idea that these will likely need to get extended
into Thu morning by midnight shift. Also winter storm warning for
Gogebic and winter weather advisory for Delta effective until 18Z
Wed will need to transition to probably a wind chill warning as some
point Wed morning as winds back from nw to more westerly.
.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 422 PM EST TUE JAN 29 2019
...Dangerous cold with frequent white-outs near Lake Superior into
Thursday, then rapid warming into the weekend...
Highly amplified pattern featuring strong ridging/positive height
anomalies over far western N America and the north Atlantic will be
forcing a deep trof/bitter cold air over the Great Lakes thru Thu.
Then, a big change in the pattern will occur thru the weekend. The
western ridge will retrograde, forcing trof development over western
N America, and in turn, building heights downstream across eastern N
America. From tonight to Sat morning, 500mb heights are fcst to rise
over 600m across Upper MI. Needless to say, strong warming will get
underway, beginning Fri and continuing thru the weekend. Temps over
the weekend will likely flip back to above normal. During next week,
ensemble guidance suggests ridging building back gradually toward
far western N America, which would shift troffing downstream toward
central to eastern N America. Thus, while there will be some
fluctuation in temps as the pattern evolves, expect a trend back
toward prevailing blo normal temps with time next week. Farther down
the line, high latitude positive height anomalies/blocking that have
been appearing in longer range guidance generally in the Greenland
or AK vcnty or in both areas suggest an increased potential of
frequent or more persistent periods of blo normal temps heading thru
Feb. As for pcpn, LES will wind down/end Thu/Thu night under
lowering inversion and backing winds. Development of a western N
America trof then suggests a potentially more active period
developing for a time next week as shortwaves eject downstream
across N America. May see a couple of opportunities for system
snows and potentially mixed ptypes.
Beginning Wed night/Thu, mid-level low centered s of James Bay Wed
evening will lift ne across Quebec. As this occurs, deep moisture
will depart from w to e Wed night/Thu with inversion setting in at
around a low 4kft. Winds will also slowly back during this period,
pushing the last of the LES to the northern Keweenaw Peninsula and
from Pictured Rocks eastward, close to the shore, by late Thu aftn.
850mb temps will gradually moderate from -27 to -31C Wed evening to
-20 to -24C by Thu evening. With the DGZ eliminated by the Arctic
air, LES off Lake Superior will feature fine/powdery type snow that
is extremely effective at reducing vis, but does not add up to
significant accumulations. With the loss of deep moisture from w to
e Wed night/early Thu, this will become especially true. In general,
in the w to nw wind snow belts, expect Wed night snow accumulations
on the order of 1 to 3 inches out w, 2-4 e. Snow accumulations will
be about half that on Thu. White-outs will still be common in many
of the LES bands Wed night, especially those streaming into the
eastern fcst area. In addition to the vis restriction from the fine
snow, blsn will be a further complication as winds remain gusty into
the 20-30mph range over the Keweenaw and e of Marquette. Gusts along
the lakeshore e of Marquette will likely be 35+mph.
Will be dangerously cold Wed night/Thu, but especially so Wed night
thru Thu morning. Although low-level winds will be gradually backing
more w Wed night, winds at 850mb remain more nw, so there is some
uncertainty in the lake effect cloud coverage away from the snow
belts. Given the very dry, Arctic air mass, clouds will probably
fade away well in the interior, setting the stage for very low temps
Wed night after a bitter cold day on Wed. In the interior w half
where skies become mainly clear, will likely see mins of -25 to
-35F. Winds will still be stirring around 10mph in these areas to
drive wind chills down to -35 to -45. If it was a clear/calm night
under high pres, actual temps would be down to -40 to -50F in the
traditional cold spots. Temps will range up to -5 to -15F along the
Lake Superior shore. Even where it's "warmer", wind chills will
still be down to -25 to -35F. Max temps on Thu will generally be a
few degrees either side of 0F with aftn wind chills generally -10 to
-20.
Messaging remains the same; if you have to go outside, it is crucial
that you dress for the conditions wearing multiple layers and
covering all exposed skin. If traveling, make sure to have a winter
survival kit. Best not to take any chances with this type of cold as
these conditions will be life-threatening if you are caught
unprepared. Wind chill values this low will result in frostbite
times of 10 minutes or less and increased risk of hypothermia.
As sfc high pres ridge shifts across the area Thu night, winds will
continue to back, shifting any lingering light LES offshore in the
evening. With the ridge passing, the opportunity will be there for
temps to tank. However, a shortwave streaking from the Northern
Plains toward the Upper Ohio Valley will spread mid and high clouds
into the fcst area, complicating the temp fcst. Would certainly be
-30s across much of the interior and locally blo -40F if skies were
clear. For now, have fcst min temps mostly around -20F in the
interior and 0 to -15F along the Lakes. Winds will be calm/near calm
for most of the area, so wind chills won't be an issue Thu night.
Warming trend gets underway on Fri as sw winds lock in. Highs Fri
will reach 10 to 15F. Waa/isentropic regime continues Fri night with
a shortwave also expected to track across northern Ontario. Best
isentropic ascent and better erosion of low-level dry air will
likely pass by just n and ne of the fcst area. So, expect a band of
snow to streak by to the n, but a little -sn may brush the Keweenaw
and ne fcst area.
A northern stream shortwave is fcst to track e across northern
Ontario Sat night/Sun morning. Looks like there will be disconnect
btwn mid-level and low-level moisture, so if there is any pcpn, it
would be light. Fcst still only has snow for ptype, but could see
this end up as a -ra/-fzra event.
A southern stream shortwave is fcst to eject toward the Great Lakes
early next week. There has not been very good continuity with
timing/track of this wave and associated sfc low pres. Recent days
medium range model runs have indicated solutions ranging from all
snow across the fcst area to snow, mixed ptypes, and rain across the
fcst area. Timing has improved slightly with the 12z runs, basically
focusing in on Mon. For now, fcst indicates just sn, but that could
certainly change.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night)
Issued at 1150 PM EST TUE JAN 29 2019
KIWD and KCMX continue to linger in primarily IFR status, with
KCMX occasionally dropping into LIFR. Have therefore accounted for
this in a TEMPO through the overnight hours, with improvements
anticipated in both terminal areas as the day progresses,
coincident with winds settling down. As for KSAW, little more
uncertainty exists for the forecast there given how close the snow
bands have been, but how little the direct impact has been. Have
continued with a more pessimistic approach to the TAF given how
quickly conditions could deteriorate if the bands do end up
traversing over the terminal. Best timing currently appears to be
Wednesday morning through about midday or so, with snow bands
likely clearing out of that terminal area by Wednesday evening.

North to northwest gales up to 40 knots are expected tonight into

reinforcing blast of arctic air surges into the the northern Great
Lakes. This will be the coldest air of the season thus far with
heavy freezing spray continuing through much of rest of the week.
Conditions slowly improve Thursday heading into Friday as winds
gradually diminish and heavy freezing spray subsides.
