Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
1128 PM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Lake effect snow and wind gusts up to 35 mph continue tonight over
  eastern upper and northern lower resulting in very low
visibilities under bands of heavy snow. Additional accumulations of
1 to 6 inches with locally higher amounts in snowbelt areas

- Lake effect snow lingers through Sunday as winds turn north
  and weaken, moving the focus of snow to Grand Traverse Bay and
  south through the day.

- The next system approaches quickly late Sunday into Monday,
  returning snow chances to most of northern MI and warming
  temperatures into the 20s

- Temperatures warm above freezing starting Tuesday with
  unsettled weather continuing

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 234 PM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

Current radar and satellite depict widespread lake effect snow
showers over most of the state. Under generally west winds a few
organized bands of heavier snow have been able to form; one
running parallel to the south side of Little Traverse Bay,
another along M-32, a more transient band just south of that
one and multiband action up over the southern end of Lk Superior.
Bands of light to moderate snow exist elsewhere. Under these
heavier bands, very cold profiles aloft (single digit surface
temps near the surface) hug the DGZ close to the surface -
resulting in small flakes or a powdery snow characteristic. SLRs
were initially higher this morning (before the coldest air
aloft moved in) when it first started to snow (some ratios were
20:1), however these have been trending lower (15:1 for 18Z ob).
This environment has led to quick drops in visibility as the
powdery snow gets blown in the winds (gusts up to 25 to 30 mph)
or under heavier snow bands. Around 2 to 4 inches with a couple
of reports up to 4 to 6 inches have fallen over the advised
areas so far.

Above our heads, the upper level closed low continues to spin over
northern Lk Superior and Ontario CAN this afternoon. At this time,
winds remain unidirectional through the column as west winds aloft
are a product of some amplification on the west and east side of the
upper low. The closed low will shift to the southeast, moving the
western lobe of energy over northern MI over the next 12 hours and
resulting in second peak intensity of snowfall and a continuation of
gusty winds. LL and near surface winds will trend north during this
time, becoming northwest this evening (6 to 8 PM ET). The focus of
heavier lake effect snow bands will move under the changing winds,
currently seen as heavier snow bands have finally moved over the SOO
this afternoon. Heavier bands will focus more over the typical snow
belt areas of northern lower (big 5) tonight and will likely stretch
farther inland as the upper forcing aids generating this second peak
of intensity. Times of very poor visibilities and quick
accumulations of snow on roads lead to hazardous driving conditions
under heavier snow.

Sunday morning, winds turn north to north-northwest and remain
elevated. This focuses the remaining lake effect snow bands over
Grand Traverse Bay and areas south. These lake effect snow bands
will likely linger into the mid day hours of Sunday as residual
surface features reach the same area (lake aggregate troughing
rotates south from the U.P.).

LL temperatures will warm during the day Sunday as winds weaken.
Snow showers should weaken during the later half of the day, with
high temperatures reaching into the 20s.

Current thoughts are that snowfall amounts will be spreading
over a larger area as winds gradually shift tonight, leading to
most of NW lower seeing an additional 1-6 inches tonight and
Sunday. SLRs will rise again as LL temperatures trend up Sunday,
and forcing can still push the DGZ saturation into a decent
depth. Due to the possibility of lingering surface forcing,
spots near Kalkaska and Grand Traverse county could see some
locally higher amounts of +6 inches during this time. Snow
showers will be more robust over eastern upper due to this lake
aggregate troughing moving south over western Chippewa county as
it is still organized, resulting in additional snow amounts of
5 to 8 inches over areas adjacent and south of Whitefish bay.
Locally higher amounts of +10" will be possible over western
Chippewa county.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 234 PM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

Winds turn southwest late Sunday night as clipper system quickly
approaches from the northwest. Winds aloft remain northwest, however
the upper level PNA pattern over the CONUS will begin to break
down/weaken. A weak upper shortwave will accompany this next system,
which will spread light to moderate snow over the CWA early Monday.
LL winds shift west/northwest late Monday as some lake effect
remains possible. Accumulations from this will remain on the lighter
side, as the time window is fairly short and forcing isn't ideal or
vertically aligned. Intial thoughts for total snow amounts are T-1
inches for most of northern lower, with 1-4 inches near the tip of
the mitt and areas of eastern upper.

Southwest winds return late Monday into Tuesday as 850 temperatures
warm to above 0C. Rain and snow will be possible as another system
moves across southern CAN Tuesday into Wednesday. There is potential
for deep moisture advection towards the great lakes region late
Wednesday into Thursday. Warmer temperatures (surface temperatures
above freezing), higher surface dew point temps (above freezing Tds
will eat away at the snow pack), and rain chances are all possible
Thursday with a stronger system at the end of the work week. An
amplified system that can advect warm and moist air this far north
will also shunt cold, dry CAN air over the same area Friday into the
weekend. Stay tuned for more details.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1119 PM EST Sat Dec 13 2025

Lake effect snows will continue to bring MVFR to even periods of
IFR conditions at times this morning, with most notable impacts
at those western taf locations...especially KTVC and KMBL.
Expecting primarily MVFR to VFR condition at the other locations
with just some passing somewhat higher based lake clouds. Improving
conditions expected at all locations by later this afternoon.
Gusty winds will continue into this afternoon as they gradually
veer more northwest with time. Winds become light southwest to
west this evening.
