Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
545 AM EDT Wed Mar 19 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Rain develops today...transitioning to snow and becoming windy
  tonight. Locally high amounts expected for western Chippewa
  and western Mackinac counties.

- Snow and windy conditions gradually subside through Thursday afternoon.

- Milder and dry Friday

- Another parade of disturbances for the weekend, with a cooler
  pattern building toward the end of the forecast period.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 252 AM EDT Wed Mar 19 2025

...Rain developing today...changing to snow and becoming windy
tonight...

Deep low pressure continues to develop to the lee of the Rockies
over the Central Plains early this morning. Associated stationary
front extends from the low center now over Central Kansas thru
Southern Iowa and Northern Illinois and into Southern Lower Michigan
and the Eastern Great Lakes. Low level moisture remains rather scant
attm...with mainly mid level moisture riding up and over the
stationary front to produce bkn/ovc mid clouds across the Western
Great Lakes. No precip has occurred during the night across our
CWA...with no precip reaching the ground across the Western Great
Lakes right now.

Wx will become quite active over the next 24 hours as the
aformentioned low rides NE out of the Central Plains today and this
evening...reaching Southern Lower Michigan by late tonight. Low
level moisture and lift ahead of this system will finally increase
enough for precip to develop by around midday today...focusing
initially across the NW half of our CWA and then gradually spread
into the rest of our CWA this afternoon thru tonight. Precip type
will be the primary issue given the rather tight thermal gradient
that sets up along the northern periphery of this system. Temp
profiles and forecast surface temps suggest most of our CWA will
remain all rain thru this afternoon...with the exception of a mix of
rain and snow across Western Chippewa and Western Mackinac counties.
Colder air will slowly sink SE thru the rest of our CWA throughout
tonight...resulting in snow...sleet and possibly some light freezing
rain mixing with the rain from NW to SE...before eventually
switching over to all snow as low levels become sufficiently cold.
Also...as the cold air arrives...winds will strengthen throughout
the night...especially overnight. North winds will gust to 40 mph...
with the highest wind speeds expected in our western CWA very late
tonight into Thursday.

Given the uncertainty models have displayed with several elements of
this system so far...will lean toward stair-stepping into this event
regarding headline issuance. Will hoist a Winter Wx Advisory for
Western Chippewa and Western Mackinac counties from 21Z this
afternoon to 15Z Thursday with the expectation of a storm total
snowfall of 4 to 8 inches...along with blowing/drifting snow as
winds strengthen. Will hold off on any additional headlines at this
time to monitor how this system continues to evolve today.

Temp variation across our CWA will be large given the tight temp
gradient setting up along the northern periphery of this system.
High temps today will range from the upper 30s in Eastern Upper
Michigan to the lower 60s near Saginaw Bay. Strong CAA tonight will
drop temps into the 20s for overnight lows.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 252 AM EDT Wed Mar 19 2025

Departing surface low and sharp trough will yield 500mb height rises
Thursday into Friday in conjunction with shortwave ridging preceding
a series of shortwave troughs poised to pass through the region over
the course of the weekend, which will sow the seeds for a longwave
troughing regime to encompass much of the eastern third of the CONUS
at the very end of the forecast period and beyond, putting northern
Michigan in a quicker NW flow regime, featuring quick hitting,
weaker disturbances (clippers) beyond the long term forecast period.

Forecast Summary:

Backside moisture will lead to a continuation of accumulating
snowfall across much of northern Michigan as the backside
deformation axis driven precipitation pivots through the region
through Thursday afternoon. A tightened pressure gradient will lead
to windy conditions carrying through much of Thursday as cold air
advection in the wake of the system carries on... leading to blowing
and drifting snow concerns through the day, especially in open
areas. A brief reprieve from the active weather is anticipated on
Friday as surface high pressure builds into the Tennessee and Ohio
valleys, returning milder conditions (highs in the 40s and 50s) to
the region by Friday. A clipper system then passes through Friday
night, bringing another round of mixed rain and snow to the region.
In the wake of this clipper, below normal temperatures in the 20s
and 30s are expected to kick off the weekend, and with another wave
expected to pass through later Sunday, this system is trending more
in the direction of snow than rain, especially if it is an overnight
passage (temps cool from upper 30s Sunday below freezing overnight)
into Monday. This system is then progged to cut itself off from the
mean flow over New England and Atlantic Canada, bringing about the
aforementioned longwave troughing regime to close out the forecast
period.

Forecast Details:

Thursday Snow / Wind: Definitely a suboptimal morning commute
expected for most Sunday morning as deeper synoptic moisture
overlaps with good lifting dynamics across the region. Considering a
noteworthy southeast shift in guidance with this system, this does
put more of northern lower Michigan into play for accumulations
Thursday morning as the system departs. Latest guidance shows an
additional 0.05-0.20" of QPF across the region. Elevated DGZ will
lead to quite the sloppy snow, with most spots seeing sub 10:1 ratio
snow. As such, expecting the potential for an additional 1-3" of
snow across much of north central and northeast lower, carrying into
eastern Mackinac / Chippewa counties (including Drummond Island).
Backside pressure gradient will lead to strong northerly winds
(gusts potentially approaching 45mph, locally 55mph near the Lake
Michigan and Lake Huron shores) persisting through the morning
hours, bringing about blowing and drifting snow, despite the sludgy
nature of the snow. Snow and winds are expected to subside from west
to east from late morning into the afternoon, with sunshine breaking
out by early-to-mid afternoon.

Weekend Systems: Following a reprieve from the active weather on
Friday (increasing clouds, highs likely in the mid 40s to upper
50s), another quick hitting low pressure system passes through the
region. Marginal thermodynamics suggest another mixed rain and snow
profile, with light snow accumulations favoring the eastern Yoop,
and rain south of the Bridge Friday night into Saturday. Another
lull is anticipated Sunday before another system zips through Sunday
night into Monday. This system has the potential to bring more
impactful snowfall to the region, but details are murky as to the
extent of accumulations at this juncture.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 545 AM EDT Wed Mar 19 2025

Widespread rain will develop today ahead of deep low pressure
ejecting out of the Central Plains...reaching Lower Michigan by
late tonight. Rain will gradually mix with/change to snow from
NW to SE tonight as colder air arrives in the wake of this
system. VFR conditions this morning will deteriorate to mainly
IFR conditions this afternoon thru tonight as this widespread
precip develops and changes precip type. NW surface winds around
10 kts this morning will become N and strengthen to 15 to 25 kts
this afternoon...further strengthening to 20 to 30 kts with
higher gusts tonight.
