.UPDATE...
Issued at 1121 AM EST Tue Feb 21 2023

Windy morning across the area with some flurries in the wake of
the clipper cold front and some locations have recorded wind
gusts in the 40 to 45 mph range. See latest LSRGRR.

Winds are expected to diminish significantly this afternoon as
the sfc high builds in from the west, with some clearing even
possible as well as the cold advection strato-cu deck begins to
lift out from south to north.

One change to the Winter Storm Watch is to align the start time
over the nrn two rows of counties with the rest of the watch...
Noon Wednesday. The first batch of snow which moves over that
area tonight doesn't look too significant and the heavier snow up
there now holds off until Wednesday afternoon.

Latest guidance is quicker with precip arrival over srn sections on
Wednesday which may require an earlier than Noon start time of
the headlines. Newer guidance is still trickling in and will be
considering all of that before making any jump from watch into
warning/advisory mode, but we expect to do that by 4 PM today
once finer details are hashed out.

.DISCUSSION...(Today through next Monday)
Issued at 350 AM EST Tue Feb 21 2023

--Dry Clipper Today --

A clipper remains on track to move through the region today with
any precipitation moving mainly through northern lower Michigan.
Otherwise clouds will bring a drabness where peaks of light will
be possible late in the day.

--Significant winter storm possible Wednesday into Thursday --

A system is on track to move through the area Wednesday into
Thursday. This will be a multi threat system  with the potential
for significant ice due to freezing rain through southern Michigan
with heavy snow possible north of I 96 and through Central
Michigan. A watch remains in effect from late tonight into
Thursday morning. Due to questions on timing and magnitude of
icing, we will hold off on any upgrades for now.

 There remains some questions on timing and of precipitation type.
The passing of the torch from the long range models to the mid
range models does not come without its complications. To ice or
not to ice, that is the question.

 That question rests upon the variables of timing, QPF and
temperature. The latest ensembles have incorporated the NAM,
which has the warmer air trending northward. This could supplant
the colder air and allow for less probability for ice to form.
This is most prevalent in Van Buren county which the timing for
ice wanes. The precipitation that comes at us like slings and
arrows makes us briefly question whether how much of a magna
glacies tempestas, great ice storm, there will be.

Looking at model soundings the 850mb is warmer where there is
higher QPF, this shows a potential shift that decreases the
amount of time for ice to manifest and keeps the highest QPF in
the warm sector. While the I 94 corridor remains colder for a time
it too could see an earlier transition to rain from freezing rain
Wednesday afternoon.

The EC/GFS is less flamboyant but has shifted the amount of ice
accumulation from freezing rain northward. The bullseye of ice
remains a quarter to near a half an inch between the I 96 and I 94
corridors. Given the latest models the time for best ice
formation from freezing rain will not be until Wednesday evening
into early Thursday. Given this development have shifted the
freezing rain northward with more rain along and south of the I 94
corridor. Gusty east to northeasterly flow will only complicate
matters that coupled with the ice could cause power outages.

The snow amounts given the shift of precipitation have diminished
though accumulations of 4 to 6 inches remains probable along a
line from Muskegon to Alma northward.

--Cold temps with lake effect to end the week --

The passage of the system will bring the bitter cold return of
winter to our shores. Highs for Friday will be in the 20s, and any
lingering water left by the storm will freeze. The northwesterly
flow that follows will not be alone as snow showers will be
possible Friday into Saturday.

30 kts expected by 16Z; highest gusts at GRR and MKG.

The outlook beyond 18Z Wednesday afternoon is for significant
impacts to aviation over srn Lwr MI due to widespread heavy
