.what has changed...
no significant changes to the forecast overall this morning.
still on track to be above freezing tuesday for the first time
in over a couple of weeks for most in our cwa.

&&

.key messages...
1)lake effect/cold air advection snow is possible across
portions of the snowbelt tuesday evening into wednesday night.

2)not as cold/closer to normal temperatures for this time of
year for the end of the week through the next weekend.

.key message 1...
high pressure is departing to the east today and tonight,
finally allowing for some return flow into the region, enhanced
by low pressure that will traverse the northern great lakes.
expecting a warm front tuesday morning, the warm up to above
freezing temperatures, and then a cold front tuesday evening.
despite ice-covered lake erie, light lake effect snow showers in
the wake of the cold front will be possible, aided by saturated
low levels and cold air advection occurring as well. pops are on
the expansive side in the snow belt, but low, and qpf/snow
amounts will be quite low as well.


.key message 2...
high pressure moves in for the end of the week and into the
weekend, prior to low pressure forming over the lower
mississippi valley with a warm front extending northeastward
into the ohio valley. pops on the increase late saturday through
sunday as the surface low moves towards the mid atlantic coastal
region.

.aviation /12z monday through friday/...
vfr will continue through the taf period. clear skies this
morning will give way to vfr ceilings above 5,000 feet this
afternoon. winds will generally be out of the south- southeast
at under 10 knots through tonight.

outlook...non-vfr possible in snow showers across ne oh and nw
pa tuesday night into wednesday.

.marine...
lake erie remains nearly completely ice-covered. winds remain out of
the east-southeast at 10 knots or less today into tonight. winds
shift south-southwest and increase to 10-15kt late tonight into
early tuesday ahead of a cold front, shifting west-northwest at 15-
20kt behind the front late tuesday into wednesday. west-northwest
winds gradually slacken on thursday into friday. ice will be prone
to some movement east of the lake erie islands this week.

a welcome reprieve from active winter weather is still on schedule
for this week. persistent ne conus troughing will finally shift
eastward a bit, allowing large western conus ridge to fold over the
great lakes. strong waa is expected for a time later today into
early tue that may push temps to near 40f (though deep snowpack and
ample mid/upper clouds will temper that warm air quite a bit). the
pattern thereafter becomes one of split mid/upper level flow with
broad northern stream ridging over much of the country with a more
active southern stream staying largely south of our area. this split
flow pattern with some residual negative height anomalies over
quebec (and residual snowpack here locally) will keep temps a touch
on the cool side of climo, especially wed and thu with one more shot
of cool, northwest flow behind tuesday`s dry cold front. however, it
will not be as cold as the past few weeks and more importantly,
there are few, if any, chances for snow. south bend has recorded
snow in 25 of the last 30 days while fort wayne has recorded snow in
22 of the last 30 days, which hasn`t happened since the very busy
winter of 2013-2014. a weak shortwave pushes into the area thu night
with our next (very low) chance for snow but current indications are
for a weak wave that gets sheared out and encounters an increasingly
dry/stable environment over our region. maintained low nbm pop`s in
the far west but these may get removed entirely if trends continue
and even if it does snow, amounts will be very light. much better
chance for substantive precip with southern stream trough over the
weekend but still a lot of guidance members keeping this precip
south of our cwa and thermal profiles are warm enough that much of
it could be rain. will keep an eye on this period but obviously
still plenty of time to nail down the details. overall, a quiet week
with a slow melt of existing snowpack.

vfr tafs through the period with a disturbance passing north
today, followed by a dry cold front arriving late in this
period.

a narrow area of stratus continues to slowly seep south and
east now exiting the terminals. high clouds today with an
upper- level system passing through the upper midwest. veering
surface wind this afternoon and evening as great lakes high
pressure moves east and a low deepens across western ontario.
this low spreads a moisture-starved cold front through late,
along with a llws concern. the 925-mb jet ramps up noticeably
between 06z and 09z tuesday, perhaps as great as 60 knots per
some guidance.

mid level cloud has begun to stream into se mi early this morning
associated with developing low pressure over the upper midwest. this
cloud increases in thickness over the course of the day with lower
level clouds (5-6kft) beginning to reach the area mid to late
morning. this lower cloud is tied to a developing warm front that
gradually lifts through the terminal corridor over the course of the
afternoon. lingering influence of the surface high now over the
eastern great lakes helps to keeps southeasterly winds light through
the day- holding below 10kts.

dtw threshold probabilities...

* none.

it will be yet another cold start to the day as early morning temps
will primarily be in the single digits across se mi. the eastward
departure of a low level anticyclone to the east will open the door
to southerly flow today, which will begin a period of warm air
advection into se mi. increasing mid/high clouds during the course
of the afternoon and a residual southeasterly component to the
surface winds will hold high temps in the 20s across the forecast
area.

a fast moving mid level short wave impulse tracking across the
northern plains and into the western great lakes tonight and the
ageostrophic response within the exit region of an inbound upper jet
streak will drive a broad region of good system relative isentropic
ascent across lower mi tonight. the stronger and more persistent
ascent is forecast across northern michigan. limited moisture depth
and a shorter period of ascent will support a dry forecast across
the southern half of the forecast tonight. ensemble members diverge
as to whether or not the ascent will be enough to generate precip
across the northern half of the forecast area. while the 00z nam and
canadian are suggestive of high pops and relatively low qpf, several
hi res solution remain dry. in light of the strength of the mid level
warm air advection, chance type pops remain justified. probabilistic
guidance is a bit higher across the thumb, warranting high chance to
likely pops in this area. the nose of a 50-60 knot 925mb jet will
lift into srn lower mi tonight, driving a respectable elevated warm
layer across the forecast area. given the sub freezing boundary
layer, any precip that falls will be sleet or freezing rain. given
the uncertainty in precip chances, there is not enough confidence to
warrant any headline issuance at this time.

the aforementioned short wave feature is forecast to eventually
phase with a developing closed mid level low rotating from northern
ontario into eastern ontario/quebec tuesday into tuesday night.
associated sfc low will track north of georgian bay tuesday, driving
a cold front across se mi tuesday morning. with the stronger push of
post frontal cold air lagging the sfc front, diurnal mixing will
help boost tuesday highs into the upper 30s to possibly low 40s.
cold air advection will then increase markedly late tues
afternoon/evening within increasing northwest flow. this will bring
seasonally cold conditions back to the forecast area with 850mb
temps falling to -10 to -11c wed morning. while conditions will not
be as cold as in recent weeks, high temps through the rest of the
work week will fall into the upper 20s to mid 30s with nighttime lows
mainly in the teens. sfc high pressure expanding into the area by
thursday will sustain dry conditions through the end of the week.

southerly gradient strengthens today in advance of the next low to
impact the great lakes early this week. the system`s warm front
draws an initial wave of snow across lake huron tonight through mid
day tuesday. this is quickly followed by a cold front that sweeps
west to east across the region tuesday afternoon. immediate wind
shift to the northwest is expected with the fropa, followed by a
ramp up in wind gusts as cold advection ensues. wind gusts generally
expected to be in the 30-35 knot range tuesday evening through early
wednesday morning across northern lake huron, although confidence
falls just short of gale watch thresholds (40-50%). with upstream
portions of lake superior remaining largely ice-free, lake effect
snow bands bring periods of snow to lake huron through the mid-week
period. high pressure then fills in late week to support drier
conditions and relaxing wind/wave trends.
