.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 412 PM EST SAT FEB 6 2021
...Blowing Snow and Moderate Snowfall Continues This Afternoon to
Saturday...
...Very Cold Wind-Chills in the Interior West Half Tonight...
Satellite imagery shows that skies are mostly sunny for most of the
U.P. this afternoon, save for the west lake-effect snow belts. The
lake-effect snow is lifting to the north, moving out of the Ironwood
area as well as most of the east as the winds shift further west.
Temps this afternoon don't look to get above the single digits, save
for the east, as CAA from an arctic airmass continues to move over
us. Breezy conditions have wind chills in the negative 20s in the
far west this afternoon.
As a shortwave moves through the U.P. tonight, expect an enhancement
in the lake-effect snow showers in the west lake-effect snow belts
and very cold wind chills in almost all of the U.P., save the
Keweenaw Peninsula and far east. As the shortwave moves out Sunday,
another shortwave from Saskatchewan appears to head toward us.
Blowing snow and moderate snowfall looks to again make travel
hazardous along the Keweenaw and Porkies this evening, as white-out
conditions will be possible at times. Also, roads may remain
slippery, as temperatures near and below zero will prevent salt from
working well. The blowing snow and moderate snowfall would also re-
cover roads quickly. These hazards are also possible in the far
northeast of the U.P. tonight and Sunday as well.
The rest of the U.P., save Luce county, should see very low wind
chills tonight and early tomorrow morning; wind chills in the
interior west are predicted to get down to around -40. Therefore,
travel could be very dangerous tonight if you become stranded, as
unprotected skin could suffer frostbite in as quick as 10 minutes at
spots. Also, if you have any outdoor pets, be sure to bring them
inside tonight.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 416 PM EST SAT FEB 6 2021
Not much change to the going forecast for the next several days as
the cold pattern still looks here to stay through at least the
middle of next week, and likely even into next weekend. Thus wind
chills and localized heavy lake effect snow will continue to be the
primary forecast concerns for the next several days.
850 mb temps remaining around -25 C will continue to support lake
effect snow in the west wind snow belts. With little to no dendritic
growth, flakes will continue to be small leading to sharply reduced
visibility in the heavier LES bands despite actual accumulations
being on the low end. The primary forecast challenge for the next
couple of days will be pinpointing where the southernmost, and thus
strongest, LES band will set up. Subtle changes in the background
flow will cause it to meander at times. However, based on where the
NAM, GFS, and RDPS all show the 1000-850 mb convergence, the
steadiest snow is most likely from about Ontonagon to Twin Lakes to
Mohawk Sunday night into Monday morning. By Monday afternoon the
band will lift north into Keweenaw County and perhaps even be
offshore entirely for a few hours. Therefore Houghton may see a
break in the snow Monday afternoon before the band sags back south
Monday evening and then remains more or less in place across the
Keweenaw through Wednesday. This band may also hug the shoreline
east of Pictured Rocks Sunday night and again Monday night through
Wednesday with a break during the day Monday similar to in Houghton.
High and low temps will be pretty consistent each day Monday morning
through Wednesday night. Highs each day are expected to be in the
single digits either side of 0. Lows will fall to around -15 to -20
interior each night and around -5 to -10 elsewhere likely leading to
additional wind chill advisories. Despite the cold temps, with
surface high pressure settling into the Upper Midwest the pressure
gradient should be weak enough that warning criteria wind chills
will be hard to come by. Ultimately this continues to look like the
type of cold air outbreak we see once every year or two - rather
than record cold. Nonetheless, those planning to be outside for any
more than a couple minutes should continue to take precautions to
protect themselves from frostbite.
By Thursday, the GEFS mean shows the development of positive height
anomalies in an arc across the North Pole from northern Eurasia to
the Northwest Territories as height anomalies over Greenland become
neutral or even slightly negative. This pattern is reflected in GEFS
individual members' progs of the NAO rising from negative to
positive while the AO bottoms out at around -6. This is a classic
pattern for continued central U.S. cold. A dProg/dt analysis of the
last 8 runs of the GEFS mean shows rather decent run-to-run
consistency in the ensemble mean over the past 2 days. Furthermore,
t he 00z EC Ens mostly support this second shot of cold air for the
end of next week as well. Although there is considerable spread in
the members' 850 mb temps, one can identify a signal within the
noise showing somewhat of a consensus of members whose 850 mb temps
overhead drop to around -30 C by Friday night. Another way of
looking at this is that of all of the GEFS, EPS, and CMC-GEPS
members, on each of days 6 and 7 (next Friday and Saturday) there is
a distinct cluster of 25% of the members with a much more zonal (not
as cold) pattern, while the other 75% of members do maintain a
significant negative height anomaly over the north-central U.S. but
with differences in placement of the core of the coldest air. While
the highest confidence in continued very cold air for the end of the
week is over the Northern Plains, there is enough of a signal in the
models to continue messaging bitter cold for the end of the week.
NBM deterministic highs are near the 75th percentile of the NBM
distribution Thursday through Saturday, so this is likely another
case of the bias correction not being able to handle such a cold
pattern. Therefore, adjusted highs Thursday to around the NBM median
and to below the median Friday and Saturday. This translates to
highs mostly in the single digits each day with some subzero highs
possible over the west on Friday.
A short wave rotating around the PV lobe and lifting northeastward
across the Upper Great Lakes on Friday could induce surface
cyclogenesis somewhere over the Great Lakes, as in the 12z GFS and
EC. Even if the cyclone remains too far south to spread synoptic
precip all the way north to the U.P., the extreme lake-based
instability could allow a sharp inverted trough to form on the
northern flank of the low. If that happened, lake effect snow would
become intense for the end of the week, but confidence in where the
intense snow band sets up would be very low since these inverted
troughs are difficult to figure out a day or two in advance let
alone 6 to 7 days.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1235 PM EST SAT FEB 6 2021
Conditions at KIWD have improved to MVFR as the lake-effect snow
moves north. KIWD should become VFR by late this afternoon as the
blowing snow subsides due to wind speeds slowing down; the lake-
effect snow should remain north of KIWD for the rest of the TAF
period. KCMX looks to remain at or below airport minimums for the
rest of the TAF period, as lake-effect snow and blowing snow
continues. KSAW looks to remain VFR for the TAF period, as the
terminal should only get, at most, occasional cloud cover at VFR
cigs.

.MARINE...(For the 4 PM Lake Superior forecast issuance)
Issued at 412 PM EST SAT FEB 6 2021
West to northwest gales should continue this afternoon and slowly
subside tonight, with the gale warnings set to expire at 11pm. After
the gales, expect west to northwest wind gusts between 20 and 30
knots and heavy freezing spray from Sunday to Wednesday. Winds will
become 20 knots or less Wednesday night, and the heavy freezing
spray looks to end Thursday morning.
