Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
310 AM EST Tue Jan 13 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Light wintry mix today, with small snow accums in eastern
  upper MI, and perhaps a touch freezing rain n central and ne
  lower MI.

- Much colder air surges in overnight, remaining thru Thursday.
  Some lake effect snow tonight into Wed night.

- Accumulating snow returns Thu night-Friday, especially nw
  lower MI.

- Unseasonably cold air becomes entrenched Sunday and beyond.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 309 AM EST Tue Jan 13 2026

A digging and amplifying clipper shortwave will be just upstream by
Wed morning. The associated surface low, now along the Ontario/
Manitoba border, will slowly deepen this afternoon and tonight,
while passing just north of Lakes Superior and Huron. Warm/moist
advection ahead of this system will ramp up, especially with a
surface warm front advancing east across the area this morning.
That's followed by an intial, weak cold front this afternoon, and a
stronger secondary front late this evening/overnight.

Upstream precip coverage is underwhelming upstream. But dynamics and
available moisture will increase as the system moves se. Have slowed
the onset of higher pops in northern lower MI a bit, per recent hi-
rez models. Eastern upper has a much better chance of early- to mid-
morning precip, mainly snow. They'll stay a sloppy snow much of
today, perhaps mixing with rain at times. Snow accums today up
to 2" today, highest near the Sault. In northern lower MI,
initial precip will tend to be rain nearer Lake MI, where
surface temps are already in the low- mid 30s and will be
rising. Temps are cooler, and the warm nose aloft will take more
time to work east. Initial precip in n central and ne lower MI,
if early enough, will be snow. By late morning/midday, rain and
(briefly) freezing rain enter the equation. By mid- afternoon,
mainly just rain. Grids do have circa 0.01" of ice accums in
parts of n central and ne lower MI. Do not expect a substantial
impact from this, but it warrants watching. Also, as we get
behind the surface warm front and mid- level moisture lessens,
some drizzle will enter the picture in northern lower MI this
afternoon.

Tonight, some light synoptic precip could still be working out of
eastern areas this evening. But our main precip chances will be lake
effect/enhanced, as much colder air surges in. 850mb temps will be
in the mid to upper minus single digits C at midnight, but the
eastern UP and far northern Lake MI will reach the lower minus 20s
by morning. Veering winds during this overnight period, from wnw to
nnw on northern Lake MI, and all the way to north on eastern
Superior. Snow accums of up to 2" are forecast in nw lower MI (west
of I-75), and around 1" in far western Chippewa Co (less there, give
the developing unfavorable n fetch).

Max temps today in the mid 30s to near 40f, and we stay mild thru
midnight. Temps plunge overnight, especially in the north. Single
digits temps in much of eastern upper MI by 12Z, and teens in most
of northern lower MI (20s near Saginaw Bay).

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 309 AM EST Tue Jan 13 2026

Clipper shortwave closes off over Lake Huron late Wednesday. It then
lifts ne, allowing a shortwave ridge to briefly build in Thursday
evening. But another digging shortwave will arrive in the western
lakes early Friday. That's the lead wave in a series of nw-flow
shortwaves that will carve out an upper trof over the Great Lakes.
Highs Wed from near 10f in the Sault, to the mid/upper 20s near
Saginaw Bay.

Lake effect snow remains commonplace in northern lower MI, with a
northerly fetch and 850mb temps within a few degrees of -20C. This
should result in 1-3" west of M-66, and perhaps something similar
for Rogers City and APN off of Lk Huron. Lesser amounts in n central
lower and eastern upper MI, with that unfavorable north winds. We
see broader drying heading into Wed night and Thursday, as the 850mb
thermal trof heads east. Smaller pops and snow accums for Wed night,
and mainly dry Thursday. It does look quite cold, with single digit
below zero lows in the St Marys Valley Wed night. Lows range thru
the single digits to mid teens above zero elsewhere. Highs Thu mid
teens to mid 20s.

Extended...warm advection-related snow will increase Thu night and
especially Friday. Several inches of snow is a possibility,
especially in nw lower MI. This is accompanied by brief rebounding
temps...mid 20s to near 30f for Friday. As low pressure departs the
Great Lakes to the east this weekend, colder air returns. This cold
air could well be entrenched across northern MI for much of next
week. Highs mainly in the teens are forecast for Sunday and beyond,
along with of course snow showers.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1114 PM EST Mon Jan 12 2026

Patchy dense fog to remain a problem thru the night...with periods
of LIFR visbys esp south of KMCD. IFR/low MVFR conditions return
around 11-14z with incoming rain/snow...which could start as
more snow than rain; have some concerns it could stay snow
longer into the afternoon. Think rain/snow will be most likely
at CIU and PLN/APN...less certain at TVC/MBL till maybe 18-21z
with a couple waves. More noteworthy cold front drops in late,
maybe even at end or beyond this TAF pd, which should have gusty
NNW winds behind it and a burst of snow along with falling
temps. Light winds attm become SE around 10kts increasing toward
15+kts during the day, becoming S in the morning and SW/W after
18z...eventually to NW late. Watching for LLWS around
1500-2000ft with SW 25-35kt jet this morning; not impossible
this stays as LLWS rather than gusts thru afternoon though.
