AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI 704 AM EST TUE NOV 27 2007 LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION... .SYNOPSIS...(345 AM EST TUE NOV 27 2007) IT WILL BECOME WINDY LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR OUR LAKESHORE COUNTIES FROM 7 AM THROUGH 4 PM FOR WIND GUSTS OF 45 TO 50 MILES PER HOUR MAINLY NEAR THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE. A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES WILL DEVELOP TODAY NEAR AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 96 FROM MID MORNING THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON AND THEN NEAR AND WEST OF US-131 THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WE WILL HAVE DRY WEATHER TONIGHT AS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS IN. HOWEVER IT WILL BECOME WINDY AGAIN WEDNESDAY AS ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES IN AND BRINGS A CHANCE OF MIXED LIGHT RAIN AND LIGHT SNOW MAINLY NORTH OF I-96 WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWER DEVELOPMENT LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. && .SHORT TERM...(345 AM EST TUE NOV 27 2007) WINDY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP ESPECIALLY ACROSS OUR LAKESHORE COUNTIES FROM MID MORNING THROUGH MID TO LATE AFTERNOON WITH WIND GUSTS OF 45 TO 50 MPH EXPECTED NEAR THE LAKE MI SHORELINE. A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES WILL DEVELOP TODAY INITIALLY NEAR AND NORTH OF I-96 AND THEN NEAR AND WEST OF US-131 LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS WINDS VEER TO THE NW. DRY CONDITIONS TONIGHT WITH DIMINISHING WIND AS THE SFC RIDGE BUILDS IN. HOWEVER WINDY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN WEDNESDAY AS THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES IN AND BRINGS A CHANCE OF MIXED LIGHT RAIN AND LIGHT SNOW MAINLY NORTH OF I-96 WEDNESDAY AFTN AND EVE. THIS WILL THEN BE FOLLOWED BY LES DEVELOPMENT LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AS COLDER AIR POURS ACROSS RELATIVELY MILD LAKE MI WATERS. DELTA T/S THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE UPPER TEENS. BREEZY CONDITIONS THURSDAY WILL CARRY THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WELL INLAND ON BRISK WESTERLY FLOW. HOWEVER THE STRENGTH OF LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS WILL MITIGATE POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMS. SHOULD SEE SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS OUR CWFA THURSDAY BUT WITH LIGHT (IF ANY) ACCUMS. && .LONG TERM...(345 AM EST TUE NOV 27 2007) FOLLOWED THE PREVIOUS SHIFT/S THINKING WHICH MATCHES NCEP/S THAT IN THE LONGER TERM THE ECMWF AND THE GLOBAL GEM HAVE A BETTER HANDLE THAN THE GFS. THE GFS SOLUTION DIVERGES FROM THE OTHER TWO OUT IN THE SUNDAY/MONDAY TIME FRAME...WHERE THE GFS BECOMES MORE PROGRESSIVE AND THE ECMWF AND GEM KEEP WESTERN TROUGHING LONGER. BOTH THE GEM AND ECMWF TAKE THE WESTERN TROUGH AND FINALLY MOVE IT INTO THE GREAT LAKES EARLY NEXT WEEK. IF THE GEM VERIFIES...IT CLOUD BE VERY COLD AND SNOWY THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. AS FOR THE DETAILS IN THE LONG TERM...LOOKS LIKE SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW POTENTIAL IN THE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT PERIOD BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE THAT MOVES THROUGH WED NIGHT/THURS. EXPECTING A LULL IN THE ACTION SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. EXPECTING A MIX OF PRECIPITATION...MENTIONING RAIN AND SNOW AT THIS POINT FOR SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. PUSH OF WARM AIR COULD LEAD TO AN ALL RAIN SCENARIO ACTUALLY INTO MONDAY WITH THE ECMWF INDICATING TEMPS OF +2 TO +8 C ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. AT THIS POINT GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY...LEFT IT ALL SNOW ON MONDAY FOR NOW. BEYOND MONDAY THINGS COULD TURN INTERESTING (LAKE EFFECT SNOW AND COLD) WITH THE GEM AND ECMWF BRINGING VERY COLD AIR DOWN FROM CANADA. 850MB TEMPS COULD BE FLIRTING WITH -20 C...WHICH WOULD PUSH DELTA T/S INTO THE MIDDLE 20S. ADD DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW TO THE MIX AND MOISTURE WILL BE THE ONLY UNCERTAIN VARIABLE. PLENTY OF TIME TO CLOSE IN ON A SOLUTION FOR THIS FAR OUT. && .AVIATION...(704 AM EST TUE NOV 27 2007) MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD OF 12Z-12Z. A BAND OF CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THIS AREA THIS MORNING...THESE CLOUDS ARE IN THE 6000-9000FT LAYER.
