Area Forecast Discussion

LATEST UPDATE...
Synopsis/Discussion/Marine/Hydro

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 330 PM EST Sat Feb 27 2021

-Areas of fog and drizzle late tonight and early Sunday

-Turning windy late Sunday into Monday; snow showers Monday

-Sunshine with above normal temps most of next week

&&

.DISCUSSION...(This evening through next Saturday)
Issued at 330 PM EST Sat Feb 27 2021

--Areas of fog and drizzle late tonight and early Sunday--

Progressive pattern aloft sends another warm advection pattern
sweeping in from the south tonight and early Sunday, although
model QPF progs continue to show Lwr MI caught inbetween two
main/distinct precipitation centers. An area of showers and storms
impacts the Ohio Valley Region late tonight and Sunday, while a
band of accumulating snow occurs from the Minneapolis area into
Upr MI north of a deepening sfc low which tracks across the
Straits of Mackinac on Sunday.

Only light precipitation amounts are expected over our area later
tonight and Sunday as the northward moving warm front Sunday
morning is quickly replaced/swept out by a cold front in the
afternoon. While the low stratus clouds mixed out today, guidance
indicates a strong possibility of them filling back in late
tonight - possibly accompanied by areas of fog.

Seems the main precip potential tonight and early Sunday will be for
drizzle/light rain breaking out ahead of the northward advancing
warm front. Could be a brief period of freezing drizzle north of I-
96 early Sunday morning before sfc temps there recover fully above
freezing. Pops ramp up briefly for a time on Sunday afternoon as
scattered showers develop ahead of the approaching cold front.
Temps may sneak into the lower 50s before that happens, especially
south and east of GRR.

-Turning windy late Sunday into Monday; snow showers Monday

The deepening sfc low passing by to our north leads to a period of
stronger wind gusts behind the cold front Sunday mid to late
afternoon with potential of 40-45 mph gusts for a couple hours.
Winds look to relax on Sunday night but the passage of a strong
Arctic front on Monday bring another period of gusty winds. Also
accompanying that frontal passage will be a burst of snow showers
which could coat the roads and lead to minor travel impacts as
subfreezing temps pour in behind the front.

-Sunshine with above normal temps most of next week

Deterministic and ensemble guidance both indicate a lengthy dry
and mainly clear period from Tuesday onward with the srn stream of
the jet remain to our south and the nrn stream staying up in
Canada. While a brief cold snap will be in place to begin the week
Monday- Tuesday, temperatures will be back above normal for the
mid to late week period.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 144 PM EST Sat Feb 27 2021

VFR conditions have now developed in most areas as the low clouds
and fog has lifted. There is one place where the low clouds and
fog persist and that is on the Lake Michigan shoreline between
South Haven and Muskegon. This fog is fairly dense with IFR and
lower conditions present. The fog may move into KMKG and we will
keep an eye on this. At this time, it is not in the forecast
there.

Tonight, the focus shifts to another increase in low clouds and
fog with IFR and lower conditions likely once again. The TAF sites
will likely see some drizzle or rain showers develop late tonight
and more so into Sunday morning. Strong winds are expected just
beyond the TAF window. We are expecting west to northwest winds
Sunday afternoon of 20-30 mph gusting to around 40 mph at times.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 330 PM EST Sat Feb 27 2021

An area of dense fog has been impacting the nearshore waters this
afternoon and is how to be located between Holland and Whitehall
moving north. More fog may develop tonight into early Sunday before
a cold front sweeps it out Sunday afternoon. Period of strong winds
occurs Sunday afternoon/evening out of the southwest then west,
followed by strong northwest winds and snow showers with an
Arctic cold front on Monday. Winds my flirt with gales at time,
but we did not go with any Gale headlines at this time since any
period of Gale force gusts should be short-lived Sunday afternoon.
We are however issuing a Small Craft Advisory from 1 PM Sunday to
4 am Tuesday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 330 PM EST Thu Feb 25 2021

Nearly half of the snowpack in the Grand and Kalamazoo River basins
has melted in the last several days, and the vast majority of the
remaining snow will melt by the end of this coming weekend. Ice
remains in place - especially on the Grand River - and is steadily
weakening and melting in place. General flooding on the Grand and
Kalamazoo River is NOT expected as a result of this melting snow.
There is a small chance that some localized ice jams could form if
and when the ice breaks up and begins to move. A return to colder
overnight temperatures for early next week will slow down the
movement of water toward the rivers, which this time of year is a
good thing. All living near or recreating near the rivers of West
Michigan should pay extra attention over the next week or two as we
transition into springtime conditions, as conditions can sometimes
change quickly.
