Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
1255 PM EST Wed Feb 5 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Light Wintry Mix Likely Late Tonight

- Windy Conditions Thursday

- Impactful Winter Weather Saturday

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1148 AM EST Wed Feb 5 2025

Trends in the latest model runs suggest the freezing drizzle
impacts will end up further north and likely include the Muskegon,
Grand Rapids to Lansing corridor. Forecast soundings suggest this
light precipitation event will be more freezing drizzle for the
southern half of the CWA than snow.  We are not expecting much
ice, but upstream this morning, there were a lot of impacts with
just a glaze. Elevated surfaces were especially impacted.

As a result we expanded the winter weather advisory headlines
further north.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 305 AM EST Wed Feb 5 2025

- Light Wintry Mix Likely Late Tonight

A weak mid to upper level system will bring a light wintry mix of
precipitation late tonight into early Thursday morning. Short
range guidance trends continue to suggest that relatively steadier
freezing rain overnight will stay south of our fcst area. A
consensus blend of latest data and 00Z HREF fram guidance suggests
that only around five hundredths of an inch of fzra or less will
fall along the I-94 corridor. Therefore we will hoist a winter wx
adv for the I-94 counties from 03Z Thur - 14Z Thur to cover the
Thur am commute across that area. Pcpn north of the I-94 corridor
will be lighter and not impactful enough to warrant a headline.

- Windy Conditions Thursday

The tightening pressure gradient between the low pressure system
moving east across Ontario and ridge over the northern Plains will
result in strong winds which could reach advisory criteria
Thursday. The relatively best chc for gusts near or exceeding 45
mph will be across our lakeshore counties where gusts could
easily reach 50 mph. Conditions may reach adv criteria inland as
well. A wind advisory headline will likely eventually be needed
for this wind event.

- Impactful Winter Weather Saturday

A strengthening low pressure system will move ene from the central
Plains states across the lower Great Lakes region Saturday
bringing an impactful mix of pcpn. The most likely low track and
thermal profiles suggest that a mostly snow event will occur near
to north of I-96 with a mix of freezing rain sleet and snow south
of I-96. Deeper moisture and some mid level frontogenetical
forcing suggests potential for some banded heavier snowfall.
A swath of six inches or more of snowfall seems quite possible if
not probable across our northern fcst area.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1251 PM EST Wed Feb 5 2025

VFR conditions until tonight when mixed precipitation will be
moving in from the southwest. As low level moisture advects into
the colder air we will see a variety of precipitation types, that
will lead to impacts, especially in the 03z to 12z period.
Ceilings and visibilities will lower down into the IFR or lower
range during this time as well. The wind will be shifting to the
southwest then west Thursday morning into the early afternoon
hours and it will increase considerably. Beyond 18z Thu, gusts
will increase to over 35 knots as ceilings climb into the MVFR
range.
