Severe Thunderstorm Warning 83, NWS Detroit, MI

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
705 AM EDT SUN JUL 24 2005

.AVIATION...

RAIN/EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED THE FIRST SEVERAL HOURS
OF THE FORECAST...WITH CEILINGS OF 1500 FT OR LOWER. WILL ADD A GUST
IN FNT AS LINE SEGMENTS ATTEMPTS TO TRANSLATE INTO THE GENESEE. MUCH
OF THE WIND HAS REMAINED ELEVATED...WITH ASOS/AWOS GUSTS ONLY IN THE
20-40 KNOT RANGE.

WILL TENTATIVELY END THIS ACTIVITY AROUND NOON AS WARM FRONT PUSHES
TO THE EAST AND ELEVATED ACTIVITY GOES WITH IT. ANTICIPATE CAPPING
TO BE TOO STRONG FOR SURFACE BASED CONVECTION ALONG OUTFLOW THAT IS
LEFT BY THIS CURRENT ACTIVITY...ALTHOUGH WILL HAVE TO RE-EVALUATE
THIS MID MORNING AS INITIAL ACTIVITY IS ON THE WANE.

LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS THIS EVENING TURNING TO THE NORTHWEST AND THEN
NORTH AFTER MIDNIGHT. WILL ADD SOME MINOR FOG GIVEN ABUNDANT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE THAT WILL BE AROUND FROM BOTH RAINFALL AND ADVECTION
OF 70-75F DEWPOINTS FROM THE MIDWEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...ISSUED AT 335 AM EDT

GOOD AGREEMENT ON BRINGING ACTIVE WARM FRONT INTO LOWER MICHIGAN
THIS MORNING...WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS BEING REPLACED
BY A RATHER POTENT MCS SLIDING SOUTHEAST AROUND UPPER RIDGE. WILL
UP THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO 80-90% FOR MUCH OF CWA THIS MORNING AND
TAPER TO ABOUT 60% FAR SOUTHWEST COUNTIES.

THIS ACTIVITY WILL MAKE TEMPERATURE FORECASTING VERY DIFFICULT TODAY
AS CLOUD COVER/PRECIPITATION KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN THROUGH THE
MORNING AND LEFTOVER OUTFLOW MONKEYS WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW THAT IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF THE PASSING WARM FRONT. WILL EDGE
TEMPERATURES DOWN SEVERAL DEGREES BASED ON TRENDS IN THE 00Z MODEL
RUNS.

THIS ADJUSTMENT WILL BRING ALL AREAS BELOW HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA
WITH HEAT INDICES INTO THE 95-100 DEGREE RANGE ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
CWA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE RE-EVALUATED BASED ON WHAT
HAPPENS WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NEXT 6-9 HOURS. AT THIS TIME
IT APPEARS THAT THE NAM/S MORE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THUNDERSTORMS IS
WORKING OUT...WHICH LENDS SUPPORT FOR A LESS HOT FORECAST. THAT
SAID...CONDITIONS WON/T BE PLEASANT AS LOWER/MID 70 DEWPOINTS BRING
HUMIDITY LEVELS UP DRAMATICALLY AS COMPARED TO THE PAST FEW DAYS.

GIVEN THIS AIRMASS...WILL UP LOW TEMPERATURES A DEGREE OR TWO FOR
TONIGHT...WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY GUIDANCE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN CWA WHERE FRONT WILL BE STALLING AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
POOLING.

&&

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...ISSUED AT 335 AM EDT

AS TO BE EXPECTED...MESOSCALE FEATURES AND SHORT WAVE
INITIALIZATIONS HAVE RESULTED IN A SHIFT IN THE GOING FORECAST.
THIS UPCOMING FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK WILL BE IMPACTED BY A FEW
SYNOPTIC BOUNDARIES AND A COUPLE OF MCS/S...SEVERE POTENTIAL LOOMING
AND HEAVY RAINFALL PRODUCERS.

THIS AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE WAVERING ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES REGION AS EVENTUAL TRACK OF ONGOING MCS WILL DICTATE
JUST HOW FAR SOUTH THE BOUNDARY GETS ON MONDAY.  STILL EXPECT THE
BOUNDARY TO REMAIN CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES TO WARRANT
OUR CONTINUED CHANCE FOR CONVECTION.  UPSTREAM CAPES (IE OVER
INDIANA AND OHIO) ARE PROGGED TO BE BETWEEN 3000-4000 J/KG AND WITH
INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET...POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THESE CELLS TO
CROSS OVER THE WARM FRONT WHICH COULD PROVE TO BE INTERESTING...

FURTHER UPSTREAM, AS ANOTHER WAVE INTERACTS WITH THE INSTABILITY, WE
SHOULD SEE ANOTHER MCS EVOLVE AND TRACK TOWARD THE LOCAL AREA MONDAY
NIGHT.  PWATS FROM THE VARIOUS NUMERICAL MODELS STILL HOLD ONTO THE
2 (EVEN HIGHER) WITH K-INDICES TOUCHING 40.  SO HEAVY RAINFALL
POTENTIAL REMAINS AN ADDITIONAL CONCERN.

THIS SYSTEM TRACKS ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY AND LEAVING US UNDER
CLOUDY SKIES, HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT AND ADDITIONAL CONVECTION
DEVELOPING.  CONFIDENCE IN EITHER NUMERICAL MODEL IS QUITE LOW,
NEVERTHELESS, THEY ALL SUGGEST THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL WAIVER AS
THE LOW LEVEL JET UPSTREAM WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ANOTHER MCS TOWARD
TUESDAY NIGHT AS ONE LAST SHORT WAVE COMES DOWN INTO THE WESTERLIES.

MODEL TRENDS HAVE POINTED TO MUCH LESS AMPLIFICATION FOR WEDNESDAY
WHICH LEAVES OPEN THE POSSIBILITY FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION (PERHAPS
THE MCS) INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.  AFTER COLLABORATING WITH
SURROUNDING OFFICES, HAVE DECIDED TO ADD THAT TO THE GRIDS AND LOWER
TEMPS WITH COOL ADVECTION UNDERWAY BY AFTERNOON.

SORRY FOR THE BREVITY AS WE ARE CLOSELY MONITORING UPSTREAM ACTIVITY
THIS SUNDAY MORNING.
