AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
1243 PM EST SUN NOV 25 2012
.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 509 AM EST SUN NOV 25 2012
ACTIVE FORECAST IN STORE AS THIS ALREADY COLD AIRMASS GETS COLDER IN
WAKE OF COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH TODAY. RESULT IS LK EFFECT SNOW
BECOMING FORECAST FOCUS BY LATE TODAY AND THROUGH TONIGHT.
CURRENTLY ARE SEEING THE LIGHT SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH CLIPPER SYSTEM
QUICKLY EXITING ACROSS EASTERN CWA. WILL BE GONE BY DAYBREAK. TOTAL
SNOW WITH THE SYSTEM PROBABLY END UP IN THE 1 TO 2 INCH RANGE.
NOT MUCH ON RADAR IN WAKE OF THE SYSTEM SNOW BUT THAT WILL CHANGE AS
COLD FRONT CURRENTLY OVER WESTERN LK SUPERIOR WORKS THROUGH BY
AFTN. AS COLDER AIR ARRIVES...FORECAST SOUNDINGS OVER WESTERN TIER
OF UPR MICHIGAN INDICATE MOISTURE UP TO 8KFT WITH INVERSION HEIGHTS
AROUND 5KFT. UNIDIRECTIONAL WNW BLYR FLOW 15-25 KTS SUGGESTS LONGER
RESIDENCE TIME OF PARCELS OVER THE LAKE AND GOOD ORGANIZATION OF LK
EFFECT BY LATE AFTN. WNW DIRECTION FAVORS HIGHER TERRAIN OF WEST CWA
FOR AT LEAST LGT SNOW ACCUMS AFT 18Z. CONVERGENCE A BIT STRONGER
OVER SOUTHEAST LK SUPERIOR INTO FAR NORTHEAST CWA AFT 21Z JUST IN
WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT.
HAVE GOOD CONFIDENCE IN HIGHER RESOULTION MODELS DEPICTION AS
NAM/GFS/GEM-REGIONAL ALL IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH OVERALL FORECAST OF
SHORTWAVES COMING THROUGH TODAY AND ASSOCIATED MSLP FORECAST THROUGH
TONIGHT. BLEND OF HIGHER RESOLUTION MODELS SUPPORT PATTERN RECOGNITION
THAT A COULPLE MAIN AREAS OF CONVERGENCE SET UP TONIGHT DUE TO LAND
BREEZE OVR UPR MICHIGAN AND WNW WINDS OVER LK SUPERIOR. FIRST AREA OF
ENHANCED SNOW SHOWERS IS EXPECTED OVER HIGHER TERRAIN OF GOGEBIC
THROUGH NORTHERN HOUGHTON COUNTY WITH OTHER OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF
ALGER INTO NORTHERN LUCE COUNTY. INVERSION HEIGHTS TONIGHT WITH LK
EFFECT NEVER PUSH MUCH ABOVE 5KFT...THOUGH THEY ARE A BIT HIGHER OVER
EASTERN LK SUPERIOR WITH LONGER OVER-WATER TRAJECTORIES. MAIN BONUS
THAT THIS EVENT HAS GOING FOR IT IS THAT ENTIRE LK EFFECT CONVECTIVE
LAYER IS WITHIN THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE /DGZ/...SO SNOW TO WATER
RATIOS SHOULD EASILY PUSH TOWARD OR EVEN PAST 20:1. EXPECT SOLID
FLUFFY ADVY SNOW AMOUNTS IN AREAS WHERE CONVERGENCE IS MAXIMIZED
TONIGHT WITH 4-8 INCH AMOUNTS IN 12 HRS LOOKING PRETTY LIKELY. REALLY
FLUFFY STUFF THOUGH AND SINCE WINDS ARE NOT TOO STRONG...IMPACT WILL
NOT BE AS HIGH AS COULD SEE OTHERWISE.
LK EFFECT WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY AND SHOULD BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED
AS SFC TROUGH OVER LK SUPERIOR DROPS INTO NORTHERN CWA. THIS IS
ESPECIALLY TRUE OVER PORTIONS OF ALGER AND NORTHERN SCHOOLCRAFT
COUNTY. HEADLINE MANAGEMENT KIND OF TRICKY THERE...BUT SINCE
POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR HEAVY LK EFFECT LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY...WE
DECIDED TO GO WITH LONGER DURATION LK EFFECT SNOW WARNING. LONG TERM
DISCUSSION HAS MORE OF DETAILS FOR THE MONDAY PORTION OF THE EVENT.
AWAY FROM LK SUPERIOR MAINLY CLOUDY SKIES DOMINATE BOTH TODAY AND
TONIGHT...THOUGH THERE WILL NOT BE MUCH IN WAY OF SNOW. NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO TEMP FORECAST WITH ISOLD AREAS IN FAR SW CWA
LATE TONIGHT SEEING POTENTIAL FOR SINGLE DIGIT READINGS WITH ANY
PARTIAL CLEARING OUTSIDE OF THE LK EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS.
.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 509 AM EST SUN NOV 25 2012
NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS SHIFT...THE MAIN FOCUS IN THE LONG
TERM REVOLVES AROUND THE CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW
ACCUMULATION EAST NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR ON MONDAY. EXACT LOCATIONS OF
THIS POTENTIAL ARE STILL UNCERTAIN...THOUGH THE MAIN THREAT APPEARS
TO BE IN ALGER COUNTY FROM MUNISING TO GRAND MARAIS AND SOUTH INTO
NORTHERN SCHOOLCRAFT COUNTY. ANOTHER ROUND OF LIGHT SNOW VERY
SIMILAR TO TONIGHTS SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT.
MILDER PATTERN CHANGES WILL THEN BE IN THE MAKING TOWARD THE END OF
THE WEEK.
AT THE START OF THE PERIOD 12Z MON NORTHWEST WINDS AND COOL TEMPS
SUN NIGHT WILL LEAD TO ONGOING LES EARLY MON. THE LES WILL INTENSIFY
ON MON AS A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE JUST UPSTREAM OF THE CWA AT 12Z MON
MOVES OVER AND USHERS IN COLDER AIR. A SFC TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE
E WILL STICK OVER ESPECIALLY ERN LAKE SUPERIOR THROUGH MUCH OF MON.
INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL INCREASE FROM AROUND 7KFT /INVERSION TOP
TEMPS AROUND 17C/ OVER ERN LAKE SUPERIOR. COLDEST AIR AND HIGHEST
INVERSION TOP HEIGHT OF AROUND 10KFT /INVERSION TOP TEMPS AROUND
-22C/ MOVES INTO ERN LAKE SUPERIOR AROUND 21Z MON. OVER FAR WRN LAKE
SUPERIOR...CLOSER TO SFC HIGH PRESSURE...THE AIRMASS WILL BE DRIER
WITH MUCH LOWER WITH THE BEST CONDITIONS PRIOR TO 18Z MON. LOOKS
LIKE THE KEWEENAW WILL STILL SEE SOME NASTY CONDITIONS PEAKING
AROUND 18Z. GIVEN THE COLD TEMPS...THE DGZ WILL BE FIRMLY PLANTED IN
THE MOIST CONVECTIVE LAYER HELPING BOOST SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS. FOR
THE MOST PART BL WINDS WILL BE UNIDIRECTIONAL AND FAIRLY LIGHT OUT
OF THE NW. WITH THIS WIND DIRECTION...IT APPEARS ERN ALGER...NRN
SCHOOLCRAFT AND LUCE COUNTIES WILL GET HIT THE HARDEST. WITH THE
SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH...WINDS DIRECTIONS SHOULD WAVER THROUGH THE
DAY...SO THE RESULTING MORE DOMINANT LES BAND SHOULD MOVE UP AND
DOWN THE COASTS OF ALGER AND LUCE COUNTIES. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT
SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE IN THE 8-12 INCH RANGE OVER THE AFOREMENTIONED
HEAVIEST SNOWFALL AREAS IN THE ERN CWA. FOR THIS REASON...A LAKE
EFFECT SNOW WARNING WAS ISSUED FOR ALGER AND NRN SCHOOLCRAFT
COUNTIES...AND LES ADVISORIES WERE ISSUES FOR WRN ZONES AND LUCE
COUNTY.
DRY AIR ADVECTION FROM THE SOUTHWEST IN THE LOW LEVELS...AND 800MB
WAA TUE NIGHT WILL BEGIN TO ERODE LES FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE
CWA. INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL ALSO CRASH FROM AROUND 9KFT 00Z TUESDAY
TO <5KFT BY 09Z TUESDAY. MEANWHILE WINDS WILL BEGIN BACKING AND
SHOULD PUSH REMAINING LES OFFSHORE...WITH LITTLE ACTIVITY REMAINING
BY TUESDAY MORNING.
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGGING ESE OUT
OF CANADA WILL IMPACT THE CWA BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND BRING A ROUND
OF LIGHT SNOW TO MAINLY THE NORTHERN CWA. THE BEST UPPER LEVEL PV
ANOMALY AND MID-LEVEL Q-VECTOR DIVERGENCE ARE PROGGED TO MOVE
THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE LEFT EXIT OF A 120KT NW
TO SE ORIENTED UPPER JET WILL BE TRACKING ACROSS CENTRAL WI...SO
BEST FEATURES DO NOT QUITE LINE UP. THE LOWEST LEVELS WILL BE DRY
ENOUGH TO THE SOUTH TO PREVENT INITIAL PRECIP FROM REACHING THE
GROUND. MAKE FEW CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. THE TROUGH AXIS
WILL THEN PASS THROUGH THE CWA BY 12Z WEDNESDAY AND USHER IN
ANOTHER...YET SHORT-LIVED AND WEAKER...LES EVENT. INVERSION HEIGHTS
COLLAPSE QUITE QUICKLY TO ABOUT 4KFT BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...AND
THE AIR BEHIND THIS SYSTEM IS CONSIDERABLY DRY THROUGHOUT THE
COLUMN. THEREFORE...EXPECTATION IS THAT THERE WILL BE A QUICK LES
EVENT WEDNESDAY MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON FOR THE NW
SNOWBELTS...MAINLY ACROSS THE KEWEENAW PENINSULA AND EAST OF
MUNISING WHERE MOISTURE IS MORE ABUNDANT.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...THE PATTERN TURNS QUIET FOR MUCH
OF THE UPPER GREAT LAKES FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. OTHER THAN
SOME LIGHT LES POSSIBLE EAST NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR ON THURSDAY
NIGHT...NO REAL SIGNIFICANT PRECIP CHANCES PRESENT THEMSELVES AS THE
MAIN ENERGY REMAINS SOUTH OF THE CWA WITH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
MOVING ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON FRIDAY. THOUGH ON THE
EDGE OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...A STRONG RIDGE WITHIN PACIFIC FLOW
LOOKS TO BRING WELL-ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPS TO BEGIN DECEMBER.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1242 PM EST SUN NOV 25 2012
MAINLY MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
ARRIVAL OF COLDER AIR WILL GENERATE MORE LAKE EFFECT -SHSN THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AT KIWD AND ESPECIALLY AT KCMX WHERE THE
EXPECTED W WIND WILL UPSLOPE. ON THE OTHER HAND...VFR VSBY SHOULD
CONTINUE AT KSAW WITH DOWNSLOPE WIND COMPONENT. AS INCREASINGLY
COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE UPPER LAKES...LAKE EFFECT -SHSN SHOULD
BECOME HEAVIER AT KIWD AND KCMX LATE AFTN THROUGH TONIGHT WITH IFR
VIS EXPECTED.
&&
.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 AM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 509 AM EST SUN NOV 25 2012
EXPECT NW WINDS TO 30 KTS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT IN WAKE OF A COLD
FRONT WORKING THROUGH THE AREA. POTENTIAL FOR GALE GUSTS TO 35 KTS
TONIGHT OVER NORTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF LK SUPERIOR. WINDS
DIMINISH BY MONDAY NIGHT THEN INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST FOR
TUESDAY OUT AHEAD OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT. EXPECT ANOTHER BOUT OF
NORTHWEST WINDS TO 30 KTS IN WAKE OF THAT COLD FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES MAIN SFC FEATURE BY LATE THIS
WEEK RESULTING IN WINDS DROPPING BLO 25 KTS.
