772 FXUS63 KAPX 220734 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 334 AM EDT Tue Sep 22 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... -High pressure continues seasonably normal fall-like temperatures build this week no precipitation expected. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 333 AM EDT Tue Sep 22 2026 Pattern Synopsis and Forecast: A midlevel split flow-pattern begins to build across North America this morning with ridging over the Northern Plains while low amplitude troughing spans the southern U.S. Midlevel ridging will support subsidence aloft this morning and cause surface high pressure to build across the Great Lakes region through the next several days. H8 temperatures in the single digits will keep temperatures seasonably normal through the entirety of the forecast period with highs in the 60s and overnight lows in the upper 30s to low 40s. Cloud cover will continue to dissipate and progress south this morning as the stationary boundary currently occupying the Appalachians moves downstream. High pressure building over central Ontario will keep conditions quiet and dry over the CWA throughout the entirety of the forecast period. Efficient overnight radiational cooling will drop lows into the mid/upper 30s across interior eastern upper and northern lower leading to another round of patchy frost development tonight. Otherwise, conditions remain climatologically normal for late September with highs in the 60s for most areas while efficient overnight radiational cooling processes drop lows into the upper 30s to low 40s. Other than ideal fall conditions for hardwood color development, no out-of-the-ordinary or active weather is expected at this time. Long-range ensembles continue to hint at low-end chances of showers midweek next week as a shortwave lifts across the Northern Plains, but confidence in any appreciable (if any) rainfall reaching the Great Lakes Region remains low. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 1052 PM EDT Mon Sep 21 2026 VFR conditions are expected to continue through the issuance period across northern Michigan. BKN/SCT low clouds close to MVFR thresholds may linger across southern portions of the area through the morning with clearing skies into the afternoon. Mainly light winds overnight will increase to around 10 kts out of the ENE Tuesday morning, gusting to 15-20 kts at times through the afternoon. && .APX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About Treetops Sylvan Resort

Where does the snow data for Treetops Sylvan Resort come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at Treetops Sylvan Resort?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

What ski resorts are near Treetops Sylvan Resort?

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.

Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?

Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
