AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
343 PM EST SUN JAN 27 2013
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 343 PM EST SUN JAN 27 2013
STRONG SHORTWAVE IS CURRENTLY MOVING NORTHEAST THROUGH EASTERN IOWA
AND SOUTHWEST WI THIS AFTERNOON. BROAD AREA OF PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN
OCCURRING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS SHORTWAVE...WITH A WIDE RANGE OF
PRECIPITATION TYPES REPORTED. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL CONTINUE TO THE
NORTHEAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AND BE THE MAIN FEATURE OF
NOTE FOR THE SHORT TERM.
INITIAL AREA OF PRECIPITATION THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON
FOCUSED ON THE H650-500 FGEN AND EXPECT THAT TO CONTINUE NORTHEAST
AND BE THE MAIN AREA OF FORCING FOR THE INITIAL PRECIP. THE BEST FGEN
AND MID LEVEL FORCING LOOKS TO BE ACROSS SOUTHEAST UPPER MICHIGAN FOR
THIS FIRST WAVE. THEN AS THAT SLIDES NORTHEAST AND THE H850-700
WAA/FGEN PUSH THROUGH THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CWA...SHOULD SEE A
SECONDARY SURGE OF PRECIP. LOOKING AT BUFKIT TEMPERATURE PROFILES AND
WETBULB TEMPS...LOOKS LIKE PRECIP SHOULD FALL AS ALL SNOW...BUT THERE
COULD BE A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF MIXED PRECIPITATION AT THE START.
WITH THE FIRST PUSH OF SNOW...THINK THERE COULD BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF
HIGHER SNOW RATIOS...TOWARDS 13-1...DUE TO THE FORCING FOCUSED IN THE
DGZ. BUT WITH THE INCREASING FORCING/SATURATION BELOW THE DGZ HEADING
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...LOWER 10-12KFT OF THE CLOUD AROUND -5 TO
-2C...THINKING THAT SNOW RATIOS WILL QUICKLY FALL TOWARDS A 9/10 TO 1
RANGE. THIS PRODUCES AN OVERALL SNOWRATIO AVERAGE FOR THE EVENING
AROUND 10-11 TO 1.
QPF HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN...BUT WITH PWATS AROUND
250-300 PERCENT OF NORMAL...THERE IS PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO WORK
WITH. HAVE OPTED TO FOLLOW THE LATEST TRENDS IN THE MODELS WITH AN
INCREASE IN QPF TO THE NORTHWEST AND HAVE GENERALLY 0.25-0.45 INCH
OF QPF OVER MUCH OF THE CWA. TRIED TO MATCH THE HIGHEST QPF ON
LATEST TRENDS AND 09Z SREF PROBABILITIES. IT/S PROBABILITIES ARE
MAINLY IN THE SIMILAR RANGE AS THE GOING FORECAST WITH ONLY A SMALL
SWATH OF 10 PERCENT CHANCE OF 0.50 INCH QPF IN 12HRS ACROSS THE
CENTRAL CWA.
BIG QUESTION IS HOW FAR WEST THINGS GO. LATEST MODEL TRENDS ARE
PUSHING IT FARTHER TO THE WEST AND TIED TO THE H925-700 WARM AIR
ADVECTION AND ASSOCIATED FGEN THAT IS CENTERED WITH THE PRECIPITATION
CURRENTLY NEAR AND SW OF MINNEAPOLIS. THIS SECONDARY SURGE OF
PRECIPITATION WOULD OCCUR ON TOP OF THE INITIAL MID LEVEL FORCED
PRECIP MOVING THROUGH DURING THE EVENING. WITH THE WAY THE WAA/FGEN
IS LIKELY TO BE FOCUSED...AND THE THE ONGOING CONVECTION IN THAT AREA
THIS MORNING IN NE NEBRASKA AND SOUTHEAST SD...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED
IF THERE WAS A SMALL SWATH OF HIGHER PRECIP AND POTENTIALLY WARNING
SNOW SOMEWHERE BETWEEN A LINE FROM IRON RIVER TO NEGAUNEE AND CARNEY
TO CHATHAM. HAVE ADJUSTED SNOW AMOUNTS UP TO JUST UNDER 6 INCHES IN
THAT AREA AND WILL HIGHLIGHT SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE WSW.
OTHERWISE...LOOKS TO BE A SOLID ADVISORY SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA
AND WILL CONTINUE THE WESTWARD PUSH STARTED THIS AFTERNOON TO THE
ADVISORIES AND ADD THE REST OF WESTERN UPPER MICHIGAN. KEWEENAW
COUNTY IS ON THE EDGE...BUT FELT CONFIDENT ENOUGH ON 2-3 INCHES TO
INCLUDE IT.
PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE DIMINISHING FROM SW TO NE THROUGH THE FIRST
PART OF THE MORNING AND MAY SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEZING DRIZZLE AS
THE DEEPER MOISTURE DEPARTS AND THE REMAINING CLOUD LAYER IS IN THE
-3C TO 0C TEMP RANGE. THE LIGHT SOUTHEAST AND THEN SOUTH UPSLOPE FLOW
WILL AID THE FAVORED LOCATIONS THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE
AFTERNOON...BUT THEN THE CLOUD LAYER DEPTH REALLY DECREASES AND HAVE
FOLLOWED SUIT WITH THE FREEZING DRIZZLE. WITH ALL OF THE WARM AIR
PUSHED NORTH WITH THIS SYSTEM...EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE WELL ABOVE
NORMAL EVEN WITH THE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. HIGHS LOOK TO BE IN THE LOW
TO MID 30S...WITH THE WARMEST VALUES NEAR THE WI BORDER.
.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 527 AM EST SUN JAN 27 2013
AT 12Z MONDAY A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE WILL ENCOMPASS MUCH OF THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE U.S...WITH A SMALL BUT VERY
SIGNIFICANT WAVE STRETCHING FROM LAKE SUPERIOR TO N WI. THE LARGER
TROUGH WILL BE SET UP FROM SASKATCHEWAN THROUGH ID AND S CA. ZONAL
FLOW WILL QUICKLY TURN TO SW FLOW ALOFT MONDAY AFTERNOON AHEAD OF
THE NEARING WESTERN TROUGH. THE VAIL OF PRECIP OVERHEAD MONDAY
MORNING WILL QUICKLY EXIT EAST DURING THE DAY MONDAY...WITH FREEZING
DRIZZLE AND/OR SNOW AT THE TAIL END. WARM AIR WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
INTO THE AREA DURING THE DAY MONDAY...WITH 850MB TEMPS RISING TO
3-5C NEAR THE WI BORDER...AS SFC TEMPS JUMP ABOVE FREEZING /33-37F/.
EXPECT THE N END OF THE TROUGH ACROSS SASKATCHEWAN MONDAY TO CLOSE
OFF OVER CENTRAL MANITOBA MONDAY NIGHT...AND DEEPEN ACROSS ONTARIO
TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE TROUGH EXTENDING S FROM THE LOW ALL THE WAY
THROUGH TX. SOME UNCERTAINLY REMAIN IN THE MERGING OF THE N AND S
STREAM TROUGHS...WITH THE SFC REFLECTIONS OVER W ONTARIO AND NE KS
AT 06Z TUESDAY. THESE 2 SFC LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO MERGE NEAR THE CWA
TUESDAY MORNING INTO EARLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON...BEFORE QUICKLY
EJECTING NE TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. ANOTHER ROUND OF POSSIBLE
FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE TUESDAY. S FLOW OFF LAKE
SUPERIOR AND ACROSS AREAS TO S MAY LEAD TO ANOTHER ROUGH OF FREEZING
DRIZZLE. AMOUNTS SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT...WITH ONLY A COUPLE HUNDREDTHS
ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME...AS HIGHS WARM INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. MIN TEMPS TUESDAY WILL BE NEARLY IDENTICAL TO
HIGH TEMPS FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY...DUE TO THE SLOW COOL DOWN
EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY COULD ALSO BE A BIT
BREEZY AS COLD AIR WRAPS AROUND THE EXITING LOW.
THE PROGRESSIVE 500MB LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN NEAR JAMES BAY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE TROUGH ENCOMPASSING MUCH OF THE U.S. THIS
WILL BRING THE RETURN OF NW FLOW ALOFT...FROM LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FCST PERIOD. THE RESULT WILL BE SEVERAL
DIFFICULT TO TIME WAVES WILL PUSH ACROSS THE AREA FROM THURSDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY...AND BEYOND...AS WELL AS A RETURN TO NEAR OR BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES. 850MB TEMPS WILL PLUMMET TO AROUND -20C
WEDNESDAY EVENING...AND CONTINUE TO FALL TO -22 TO -25C FROM
THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY. CONTINUED TO HIGHLIGHT THE W FACING
SLOPES OF W UPPER MI...AND AREAS E OF MUNISING NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR
FOR THE BEST CHANCE OF SNOW GIVEN THE NW WINDS. SFC-850MB WINDS
SHOULD BECOME MORE WESTERLY FRIDAY...SLOWLY PUSHING THE BEST CHANCE
OF CONTINUED LES N TO THE TIP OF THE KEWEENAW PENINSULA...AND JUST
OFFSHORE ACROSS E UPPER MI.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1244 PM EST SUN JAN 27 2013
VFR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON WILL QUICKLY DETERIORATE THIS EVENING
AS SNOW MOVES NORTHEAST ACROSS UPPER MICHIGAN. CONDITIONS AT ALL
THREE SITES SHOULD FALL BELOW ALTERNATE LANDING MINS AND REMAIN
THAT WAY THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE SNOW WILL BEGIN TO LET UP TOWARDS
DAYBREAK FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST AND IMPROVE VISIBILITIES. BUT
WARM/MOIST AIR WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP LOW CLOUDS AND ALT LANDING
MIN CEILINGS THROUGH MUCH OF THE MORNING. THERE IS ALSO THE
POTENTIAL FOR SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE FOR A FEW HOURS TOMORROW
MORNING AS THE SNOW ENDS.

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 AM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 530 AM EST SUN JAN 27 2013
SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS OVER EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR SHOULD REMAIN BLO 25
KTS TODAY INTO TONIGHT. IN FACT WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW 25KTS
THROUGH THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK DUE TO
WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENTS. A LOW MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES ON
TUESDAY AND THEN INCREASING IN INTENSITY OVER EASTERN CANADA WILL
PRODUCE INCREASING NORTHERLY WINDS TO 30KTS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY. THIS...COMBINED WITH COLDER AIR SURGING SOUTH...WILL LEAD
TO FREEZING SPRAY FOR THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE WORK WEEK.
