Winter Weather in Michigan, February 11 to 12, 2015

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
642 AM EST WED FEB 11 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 502 AM EST WED FEB 11 2015

A COUPLE OF STRONG SHORTWAVES ARE NEAR THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION
AT THIS TIME. THE FIRST WAVE...WHICH LED TO THE SNOW ACROSS PARTS
OF THE REGION YESTERDAY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT IS CURRENTLY
DEPARTING THE CWA. THIS IS PULLING MUCH OF THE STRONGER RADAR
RETURNS TO THE EAST WITH IT. MUCH OF THE SNOW IS LIGHT OVER CENTRAL
AND EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN...AND WILL EXPECT IT TO REMAIN THAT WAY
AS IT PULLS OUT OF THE AREA BY OR SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. ADJUSTED
THE TIMING OF SOME OF THE ADVISORIES TO PAVE THE WAVE FOR THE NEXT
WAVE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

TO THE NORTHWEST...A NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE IS CURRENTLY DIVING
SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHEAST MANITOBA AND NORTHWEST ONTARIO AND WILL
BE THE DRIVING FORCE FOR PRECIPITATION LATER TODAY AND
TONIGHT...ALONG WITH BRINGING MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES INTO THE
REGION. BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES...A BROAD 1011MB SURFACE LOW IS
LOCATED OVER CENTRAL LAKE SUPERIOR AND UPPER MICHIGAN. NOT SEEING
MUCH ON RADAR OVER GOGEBIC/ONTONAGON COUNTIES BUT WITH WINDS ALREADY
STARTING TO TURN TO A FAVORABLE WEST-NORTHWEST DIRECTION OVER THE
WESTERN U.P. AND PLENTY OF FORCING BELOW -12C...WOULD EXPECT TERRAIN
ENHANCEMENT TO BE AIDING A MIX OF FREEZING DRIZZLE AND SNOW OVER
OVER THE WEST THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE MORNING. SINCE THAT MORE
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD SHIFT EAST INTO PARTS OF CENTRAL
UPPER MICHIGAN...WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
FREEZING DRIZZLE THIS MORNING AS IT SHIFTS THROUGH THE AREA. EXPECT
THIS PRECIPITATION TO TURN TO ALL SNOW AS THE COLD AIR QUICKLY
SURGES SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA AROUND 14Z OVER THE WESTERN CWA AND
18Z OVER CENTRAL UPPER MICHIGAN. THIS WILL LEAD TO A TRANSITION TO
LAKE EFFECT SNOW FOR THE NORTHWEST WIND SNOWBELTS. WHILE THE LAKE
EFFECT SNOW WILL DEVELOP OVER THE WEST...MODELS SHOWING THE
INVERSION HEIGHTS TO STAY AROUND 5-7KFT THROUGH MUCH OF THE
AFTERNOON. WITH THE CLOUD LAYER COOLING THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON...WOULD EXPECT THE LAKE EFFECT TO BECOME FLUFFY AS MUCH OF
THE CLOUD IS WITHIN THE DGZ...BUT THE INCREASING WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON WILL HELP BREAK UP THE DENDRITES AND KEEP SNOW RATIOS IN
CHECK. OVERALL THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...HAVE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF
1-4IN OVER THE WESTERN CWA. OVER THE EASTERN CWA...THE LOW LEVEL
WINDS WON/T TURN TO THE MORE FAVORABLE NORTHWESTERLY DIRECTION UNTIL
LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. BUT EXPECT THE SLIGHTLY DELAYED
COLDER AIR TO LIMIT MUCH OF THE LES DEVELOPMENT UNTIL MID-LATE
AFTERNOON.

A TRAILING PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY SHOULD DROP
SOUTH ACROSS AT LEAST THE WESTERN HALF OF UPPER MICHIGAN LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...AIDING THE NORTHWEST
WIND LAKE EFFECT WITH DEEPER MOISTURE AND MID LEVEL Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE. MEANWHILE...A LOW LEVEL TROUGH WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS
THE AREA...TURNING WINDS TO THE NORTH AS THE TEMPS FALL TO
AROUND -12C. THAT NORTHERLY FLOW WILL STAY IN PLACE THROUGH THE
REST OF THE NIGHT AND WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW DEFINITE POPS IN THE
NORTHERLY WIND BELTS. WILL FOCUS THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OVER
THE HIGHER TERRAIN OUT WEST AND ESPECIALLY OVER WESTERN ALGER
COUNTY WHERE THERE WILL LIKELY BE ADDITIONAL CONVERGENCE PROVIDED
BY THE ICE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL AND EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR. HIGH
RESOLUTION MODELS HAVE REALLY LOCKED INTO THIS IDEA AND IT MATCHES
WHAT HAS OCCURRED DURING SIMILAR SITUATIONS IN THE PAST. WITH THE
EXPECTED STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS...HAVE EXTENDED THE SNOWFALL INTO
NORTHERN DELTA COUNTY TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT FARTHER INLAND PUSH.
SPEAKING OF THE WINDS...THE STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES AS
THAT COLDER AIR MOVES IN WILL COMBINE WITH THE TIGHTENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND STRONG 950-1011MB WINDS (35-45KTS) WILL LEAD TO MUCH OF
THE CENTRAL U.P. SEEING GUSTS IN THE 30-45MPH RANGE. WITH THE
EXPECTED SNOWFALL AND SOME RECENT SNOW...SHOULD SEE PATCHY-AREAS OF
BLOWING OVER MUCH OF THE CWA. THE STRONGEST WINDS AND IN TURN
THE WORST CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE AREA FROM MARQUETTE
TO MUNISING. EXPECT VISIBILITIES TO BE REDUCED BELOW 1/4 MILE AT
TIMES IN THE STRONGER BANDS AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE BLOWING SNOW OFF
THE SEVERAL MILES OF ICE COVER OFFSHORE OF THAT AREA. ONE FINAL
ITEM OF NOTE...THERE HAS BEEN A TREND IN THE 00Z NAM TO SHOW DRIER
AIR AND LOWERING INVERSION HEIGHTS MOVING OVER THE AREA
TONIGHT...WHICH DOES LEAD TO SOME CONCERN ON THE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS.
ALL IN ALL...DON/T THINK THE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE THE MAIN
CONCERN...IT WILL BE THE BLOWING SNOW AND VISIBILITY RESTRICTION
THAT WILL MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT.

AS FOR HEADLINES...HAVE ISSUED ADVISORIES FOR MOST AREAS NEAR LAKE
SUPERIOR WITH A STAGGERED START TIME TO START OVER THE WEST THIS
AFTERNOON AND THEN NORTH CENTRAL AND EAST TOWARDS EVENING AS WINDS
TURN TO THE NORTH. WHILE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE
TOO SIGNIFICANT...THINK THE BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW WITH THE STRONG
WINDS OFFSETS THE LOWER AMOUNTS AND FELT A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
WAS WARRANTED WITH THE REDUCED VISIBILITIES. DECIDED TO LEAVE LUCE
COUNTY OUT FOR NOW...AS THE SHORTENED FETCH WILL LIMIT LAKE EFFECT
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS. THEIR WINDS WILL BE GUSTY...BUT WITHOUT THE ADDED
HELP OF THE LAKE EFFECT...NOT SURE IF THE IMPACT FROM JUST BLOWING
SNOW WILL BE ENOUGH TO HAVE AN ADVISORY AT THIS TIME.
FINALLY...OPTED TO GO WITH A WARNING FOR LAGER COUNTY LARGELY FOR
THE SIGNIFICANT BLOWING SNOW AND THAT AREA SEEING THE MOST SNOW.
ALTHOUGH THE WORST CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR OVERNIGHT AND PRODUCE
LESS OF AN IMPACT...DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH CONDITIONS LIKELY
NEARING A BLIZZARD (AIDED BY THE ICE OFFSHORE) FOR THE STRETCH OF
M-28 BETWEEN HARVEY AND MUNISING. FINALLY...ADDED A MENTION OF WIND
CHILLS REACHING 15-25 BELOW TONIGHT FOR MUCH OF THE U.P. WILL NEED
TO KEEP AN EYE ON WIND CHILLS FOR AREAS NOT COVERED IN AN ADVISORY
SINCE THEY NEAR THE THRESHOLD.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 419 AM EST WED FEB 11 2015

NAM SHOWS A DEEP 500 MB TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION 12Z THU
WITH A 500 MB RIDGE ON THE WEST COAST. PATTERN CHANGES LITTLE FOR
12Z FRI. A CLOSED 500 MB LOW HEADS SOUTH OUT OF HUDSON BAY FRI NIGHT
AND DIGS A DEEP TROUGH INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES 12Z SAT. AN
ALBERTA CLIPPER SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE AREA LATER FRI AFTERNOON
AND EVENING AND THE NAM HAS SOME 850-500 MB Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND
DEEPER MOISTURE MOVE THROUGH THE CWA FRI BEFORE MOVING OUT FRI
NIGHT.

DID NOT MAKE TOO MANY CHANGES TO THE GOING FORECAST AS PREVIOUS
FORECAST SEEMED TO HAVE THINGS WELL IN HAND. LAKE EFFECT SNOW
CONTINUES INTO THU WITH WINDS DECREASING DURING THE MORNING. WILL
CONTINUE WITH THE ADVISORIES INTO THU FOR THE SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW.
CLIPPER SYSTEM FOR FRI HAS WINDS INCREASING FRI NIGHT AND SNOW
AMOUNTS DO NOT LOOK REAL IMPRESSIVE...BUT WILL GET SOME BLOWING AND
DRIFTING OF SNOW AGAIN FRI NIGHT INTO SAT.

IN THE EXTENDED...GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A CLOSED 500 MB LOW OVER THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES 12Z SAT WITH COLD AIR MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. 850
MB TEMPERATURES ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR ARE FROM -25C TO -30C AT THAT
TIME. THIS 500 MB TROUGH MOVES TO THE EASTERN U.S. 12Z SUN WITH SFC
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA. A COLD FRONT THEN MOVES INTO THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES 12Z MON WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES AROUND -18C. COOLER AIR
IS AGAIN POISED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA ON TUE. TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL THIS FORECAST PERIOD WITH SOME LAKE EFFECT
SNOW BEING THE PREVALENT PCPN TYPE. AN ALBERTA CLIPPER SYSTEM HAS
ALREADY MOVED THROUGH THE AREA ON SAT. WILL HAVE TO CONTEND WITH
WIND CHILL WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES FOR SATURDAY AND WILL MENTION IN
THE HWO FOR NOW.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 641 AM EST WED FEB 11 2015

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER CENTRAL LAKE SUPERIOR
WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA THIS MORNING. A COLD FRONT HAS ALREADY
MOVED THROUGH WESTERN UPPER MICHIGAN AND WILL MOVE THROUGH KSAW
SHORTLY AFTER TAF EFFECTIVE TIME. COLDER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY AND EXPECT LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO
GRADUALLY INCREASE IN INTENSITY THROUGH THE DAY IN THE NORTHWEST
WIND FAVORED AREAS. MEANWHILE...KSAW WILL SEE CEILINGS FALL TO MVFR
AROUND MID DAY AS THE REMAINS OF THE WESTERN U.P. LAKE EFFECT
REACHES THAT AREA. THEN THIS EVENING AS A SECONDARY TROUGH DROPS
ACROSS THE AREA...EXPECT NORTHERLY WINDS (GUSTS TO 25-35KTS) TO PICK
UP ESPECIALLY AT KCMX/KSAW. WHILE THE NORTHERLY WIND DIRECTION
ISN/T OVERLY FAVORABLE FOR KCMX WITH SNOW AND BLOWING
SNOW...THOUGHT THE WINDS WERE STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE LIFR
VISIBILITIES. WITH THE FAVORABLE WIND DIRECTION FOR KSAW AND
ESPECIALLY KIWD...DID HAVE THEM FALLING TO LIFR THIS EVENING TOO.
THIS LAKE EFFECT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THEN GRADUALLY
DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST ON THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO
NOSE INTO THE AREA.

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 AM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 419 AM EST WED FEB 11 2015

STORM FORCE GUSTS WITH THOSE.

LOW PRESSURE OVER LAKE SUPERIOR THIS MORNING WILL MOVE TO JUST EAST
OF GEORGIAN BAY BY THIS EVENING. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO
SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA BY THIS EVENING AND WILL MOVE TO THE MID
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON THURSDAY AND BUILD A RIDGE ACROSS LAKE
SUPERIOR LATE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
ACROSS MANITOBA THURSDAY NIGHT WILL MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS LAKE
