AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
1209 AM EST TUE DEC 23 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS SHOW SPLIT FLOW ACROSS
NORTH AMERICA AROUND A LARGE LOW OVER NORTHERN IDAHO. A RIDGE OUT
AHEAD OF THE SOUTHERN BRANCH IS MOVING OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY. A WEAK SHORTWAVE CAUGHT IN THIS FLOW HAS SAILED ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. THE SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A LARGE
DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATING MUCH OF EASTERN CONUS...INCLUDING
THE GREAT LAKES REGION. A LOW IS DEVELOPING OVER THE MIDDLE HIGH
PLAINS GETTING READY TO MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS.
GRADIENTS ARE FAIRLY WEAK NORTH OF THE HIGH CAUSING WINDS TO BE LESS
THAN 10 MPH THIS EVENING. MQT-88D SHOWS A FEW LES SHOWERS OVER THE
LAKE EAST OF MARQUETTE. ONLY KCMX SURFACE OBSERVATIONS CONTINUE TO
SHOW SNOW THIS HOUR.
&&
.SHORT TERM DISCUSSION (TNGT AND TUE)...
THE MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL SHIFT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT
REACHING THE EASTERN U.P. BY 12Z TUESDAY. LES WILL CONTINUE OVER THE
KEWEENAW PENINSULA TONIGHT. THESE WILL LESSEN AS THE WINDS BACK WITH
THE SURFACE HIGH MOVING TO THE EAST COAST OVERNIGHT. THUS WILL KEEP
LES GOING FOR THE EFFECT AREA TONIGHT. IR SATELLITE SHOWING MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES OVER THE INTERIOR IN PRESENCE OF DRY AIR. A SHORTWAVE
MOVING ACROSS THE PLAINS WILL SHIFT OVER WISCONSIN. Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE ACCOMPANYING THE SHORTWAVE WILL GENERATE LIFT OVER
WISCONSIN AND WESTERN U.P. BY SUNRISE PRODUCING AN INCREASE IN CLOUD
COVER ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND SHOW LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE LOW COULD PRODUCE SOME SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE
WESTERN U.P. BY DAWN.
THE SHORTWAVE WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REST OF THE U.P. ON TUESDAY. THE
SURFACE LOW WILL LIFT NORTHEAST TO AROUND KMSP. ISENTROPIC ASCENT
AHEAD OF THIS LOW TO THE SOUTH IN THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. SOME UPPER
LEVEL DIVERGENCE WILL ARRIVE IN THE MORNING...BUT MUCH OF THE
ACCOMPANYING UVV SHOULD BE WASTED IN SATURATING THE ANTECEDENT DRY
AIRMASS. BETTER FORCING IN TERMS OF UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ARRIVES
IN THE 18Z-24Z TIMEFRAME WITH APROACHING OF 120KT H3 JET MAX AS
SHOWN BY NAM/GFS. MOISTER IS ANOTHER CONCERN. NAM/GFS SHOW 1.0-1.5
G/KG SPECIFIC HUMIDITY ON THE 285K SURFACE (ABOUT H725) WITH A
GRADUAL INCREASE TOWARD 2.0 G/KG OVER THE SOUTH LATE IN THE DAY.
THIS MOISTURE INFLUX WOULD SUG 1-1.5 INCHES IN THE MRNG AND 1.5-2.0
INCHES DURING THE AFTN PER IMXR METHOD. FVRBL UVV IN A FAIRLY DEEP
DENDRITIC SN GROWTH ZN IS A POSITIVE FOR SN AMTS. HOWEVER...CUT THE
MRNG SN A BIT TO ACCOUNT FOR ANTECEDENT DRY AIR AND DEARTH OF MSTR
NOW SHOWN IN THE PLAINS. SO THRU THE DAY...WENT WITH A GENERAL 1-3
INCHES OF ACCUMULATION. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WAS OVER SCHOOLCRAFT/ERN
ALGER/LUCE COUNTIES WITH A MSTR CONTRIBUTION/DESTABILIZATION OFF LK
MI. BUMPED UP QPF/SN AMTS IN THIS AREA WITH FAIRLY UNIDIRECTIONAL
SSW SFC-H925 FLOW CONTRIBUTING TOWARD SOME LK ENHANCEMENT WITH
CHILLY H85 TEMPS AOB -10C TO -12C THRU THE DAY OVER NRN LK MI.
ELECTED TO ISSUE ADVY ATTM FOR LUCE/SCHOOLCRAFT ZNS.
&&
.LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...
THE LOCAL WRF RUN CONTINUES LIGHT SYNOPTIC SNOW ACROSS THE EASTERN
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA TUE EVENING WITH THE LAKE MICHIGAN
ENHANCED BAND CONTINUING ACROSS SCHOOLCRAFT INTO SRN LUCE COUNTY.
ANOTHER INCH OR TWO OF SYNOPTIC SNOW DOES NOT SEEM UNREASONABLE TUE
EVENING WITH 700MB MIXING RATIO VALUES OF 1-2 G/KG. THE REG WRF
SUGGESTS ANOTHER 2-4 INCHES IN THE LAKE ENHANCED AREA...HOWEVER 4
INCHES IS PROBABLY THE HIGH END SINCE THE BAND WILL LIKELY BE
SHIFTING INTO MACKINAW COUNTY AS THE WINDS VEER. OTHERWISE...THE
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT WILL BE RELATIVELY QUIET BEFORE THE NEXT WAVE
MOVES INTO THE AREA ON CHRISTMAS EVE.
CHRISTMAS EVE DAY LOOKS TO BE A RATHER TRICKY DAY AS THE NAM AND GFS
SUGGEST THAT THE DEVELOPING LOW OVER THE PLAINS TUE NIGHT WILL
STRENGTHEN AND TRACK THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN IN THE AFTN AND EVENING.
THE 12Z NAM AND GFS SUGGEST A TRACK THROUGH CENTRAL LOWER MI WHICH
WOULD KEEP ANY SIGNIFICANT SYNOPTIC SNOW OVER NORHTERN LOWER
MI...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT THE BEST 850MB THERMAL PACKING WILL BE
OVER NORTHERN LOWER. THE GFS SUGGESTS SOME UPPER DIVERGENCE
ASSOCIATED WITH A COUPLED JET STRUCTURE WILL MOVE OVER EASTERN UPPER
MI WED...ALTHOUGH THE NAM IS NOT AS AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS FEATURE
DESPITE THE NAM SHOWING THE LOW FURTHER NORTH THAN THE GFS. FOR
NOW...WILL GO WITH CATEGORICAL POPS FOR AREAS ALONG LAKE MICHIGAN
WED AFTN. IN GENERAL...700MB MIXING RATIOS ACROSS THE EASTERN 1/2 OF
UPPER MICHIGAN ARE AROUND 2 G/KG FROM 12Z-24Z ON WED...WHICH WOULD
EQUATE TO 2-3 INCHES OF SNOW. ALTHOUGH THE NAM AND GFS SHOW A DEEP
DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH LAYER...THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE WILL ALSO BE
A CONSIDERABLE LAYER BELOW THE DGZ CONTAINING LIFT WHICH WILL CAUSE
ACCRETION AND CAUSE SLR/S TO LOWER. THAT WOULD SUPPORT ONLY GOING
WITH 2-3 INCHES ACROSS THE EAST WED.
AS THE LOW DEEPENS...NORTH-NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS LAKE
SUPERIOR WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME LES TO DEVELOP ESPECIALLY IN
AREAS EAST OF MARQUETTE WED NIGHT. THE LIMITING FACTORS FOR
SIGNIFICANT LES WED NIGHT ARE LACK OF SIGNIFICANT COLD AND THE
BACKING OF WINDS THROUGH THE NIGHT. WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR A
CONVERGENCE BAND INTO EASTERN MQT AND WESTERN ALGER COUNTY LATE WED
AFTN AND INTO EVENING WHICH MAY ALLOW FOR ADVISORY TYPE
AMOUNTS...BUT AGAIN THE MAIN LIMITING FACTOR WILL BE THE RELATIVELY
WARM AIR AND SHORT DURATION AS THE WINDS WILL BE BACKING THROUGH THE
NIGHT. ACROSS WESTERN UPPER MICHIGAN...DRY AIR AND A RAPIDLY
LOWERING INVERSION AS THE HIGH BUILDS IN WILL LIMIT ANY SIGNIFICANT
SNOW. ANY LES BANDS ACROSS ALGER/NRN SCHOOLCRAFT/LUCE COUNTIES
SHOULD SHIFT EAST AS THE WINDS BACK.
CHRISTMAS DAY SHOULD BE QUIET AS THE SFC RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE
AREA. IN FACT...IT SHOULD BE A VERY PLEASANT DAY WITH PARTLY SUNNY
SKIES FOR THE ENTIRE REGION AND TEMPS REBOUNDING INTO THE 20S. MIGHT
BE SOME LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE KEWEENAW AND INTO FAR NRN
LUCE COUNTY...BUT THEY SHOULD DIMINISH BY AFTN AS RETURN FLOW
DEVELOPS THU AFTN.
IN THE DAY 4-7 PERIOD...IT LOOKS LIKE THE PATTERN CHANGE THAT HAS
BEEN FORECAST FOR THE LAST WEEK IS STILL ON TRACK. IN GENERAL...IT
LOOKS LIKE THE ATLANTIC RIDGE WILL RETROGRADE WEST AND CENTER ITSELF
OVER THE BAHAMAS AND FLORIDA. MEANWHILE...THE WESTERN STATES WILL
REMAIN RELATIVELY ACTIVE WITH SYSTEMS DIVING INTO THE PAC NW FROM
ALASKA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A WARMING TREND FOR THE AREA AFTER
CHRISTMAS DAY AS HEIGHTS BUILD ACROSS THE AREA WITH MOST TEMPS ABOVE
NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. AS FOR FORECAST DETAILS...CONFIDENCE IS
LOW DUE TO THE ACTIVE STORM TRACK AND THE AREA BEING NEAR THE
RAIN/SNOW LINE WITH THE SYSTEM ON SATURDAY. THE 00Z OPERATIONAL RUNS
OF THE GFS AND ECMWF SUGGEST SIGNIFICANT WARMING AT 850MB TO WELL
ABOVE 0C /THE ECMWF SHOWS +8C OVER THE EAST SATURDAY
MORNING/...HOWEVER THE ENSEMBLE MEMBERS OF THE GFS AND NAEFS AS WELL
AS THE CANADIAN DO NOT SUPPORT THIS MUCH WARMTH AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM.
AT THIS TIME...WILL TEND TO GO WITH LOWER 30S EAST AND UPPER 20S
WEST FOR HIGHS ON SATURDAY AND GO WITH CHC POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE
REGION. WILL NEED TO AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THE POSSIBILITY OF RAIN OR
SNOW ACROSS THE EAST HALF GIVEN THE STORM TRACK. WITH STRONG
SOUTHERLY FLOW...SIGNIFICANT ICING IS NOT EXPECTED ALTHOUGH SOME
FZRA CANNOT BE RULED OUT AT THE ONSET OF PCPN FRI NIGHT. WILL NOT
MENTION ANY FREEZING PCPN AT THIS TIME...ESPECIALLY SINCE THE ECMWF
AND GFS SUGGEST THE HEAVIEST PCPN WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LLJ
AXIS ACROSS LOWER MI. IN FACT...THE MODELS WOULD SUGGEST THAT UPPER
MICHIGAN WOULD BE A DRY SLOT MUCH OF FRI NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THE
06Z GFS BECOMES VERY AMPLIFIED AND ALLOWS FOR A STRONG LOW TO
DEVELOP AND MOVE THROUGH THE LAKES SAT NIGHT...ALTHOUGH THIS IS AN
OUTLIER. THE ECMWF IS MUCH QUIETER WITH W-NW FLOW SUNDAY AND IS
PREFERRED. IN FACT...IT MAY END UP BEING TOO WARM FOR LES ON SUNDAY
WITH 850MB TEMPS ONLY AROUND -13C. WILL KEEP SMALL POPS ACROSS THE
EAST...BUT DRY WEST. THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES THE AREA MONDAY THE
THE ECWMF FURTHER SOUTH WITH THE LOW TRACK COMPARED TO THE GFS. NO
PREFERENCE AT THIS TIME...AND HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH LOW 30 POPS FOR
THE ENTIRE AREA.
&&
.AVIATION (FOR THE 06Z TAF ISSUANCE)...
FOR CMX...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT WITH SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW OF COLD AIR OVER WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR UPSLOPING INTO THE
KEWEENAW PENINSULA PRODUCING AN OCCASIONAL LES AND MVFR CEILINGS AND
VISBILITIES. EARLY TUESDAY WILL SEE CONDITIONS DETERIORATE WITH -SN
IN ADVANCE OF NEXT SYSTEM MOVES IN DURING THE LATE MORNING AND
DROPPING CONDITIONS TO IFR/MVFR RANGE.
AT SAW...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE REST OF TONIGHT.
BEFORE SNOW IN ADVANCE OF NEXT LOW PRESSURE MOVES IN DURING THE
MORNING AND DROPS VISIBILITY AND CEILINGS TO IFR/LIFR RANGE. WINDS
WILL PICK UP AROUND NOON AS A LOW LEVEL JET MOVES OVER THE AREA.
AFTER THE SHORTWAVE DEPARTS THE AREA...CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO
MVFR TUESDAY EVENING.
&&
.MARINE (FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY WILL CROSS UPPER MICHIGAN TONIGHT AND REACH THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES BY TUESDAY MORNING. ALSO ON TUESDAY...A LOW PRESSURE WILL TAKE
SHAPE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS. SOUTH WINDS AHEAD OF THIS LOW WILL
INCREASE TO 30 KNOTS OVER LAKE SUPERIOR...WITH SOME GALE FORCE GUSTS
TO 35 KNOTS. CONSIDERED A GALE WARNING...BUT PLACEMENT OF SHARPER
PRESSURE FALLS TO THE SOUTH SUGGESTS A MARGINAL EVENT DESPITE SOME
LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY OVER THE RELATIVELY WARM LAKE WATERS. ON
TUESDAY NIGHT...EXPECT A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE EXTENDING NORTH OF
THE LOW TO CROSS LAKE SUPERIOR...WITH DIMINISHING WINDS. THE LOW
WILL DEEPEN AND MOVE ALONG THE TROUGH OUT OF THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY AND OVER LAKE HURON ON WEDNESDAY. BEHIND THE LOW...LOOK
FOR A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO MOVE ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR THURSDAY
MORNING. THIS RIDGE WILL SHIFT EAST TO NEW ENGLAND BY FRIDAY EVENING
WHILE LOW PRESSURE OF 29.5 INCHES REDEVELOPS IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR STRONG GALES OR EVEN STORM FORCE WINDS SAT
INTO SAT NIGHT IF THE ECMWF OR GFS VERIFY.
