AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
728 PM EDT THU MAY 25 2006

.AVIATION...

A COMPLICATED CONVECTIVE WEATHER SITUATION WILL IMPACT BOTH PUBLIC
AND AVIATION WEATHER FOR A FEW MORE HOURS THIS EVENING. THIS WILL
BE FOLLOWED BY MVFR CEILING AND VISIBILITY OVERNIGHT AND FRIDAY
MORNING IN SHOWERS, FOG, AND STRATUS. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE
TO VFR DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS.

STORMS DEVELOPED OVER SW LOWER MICHIGAN AND NORTHERN INDIANA ALONG
THE COLD FRONT AND MOVED INTO OUR AREA WHERE IT ENCOUNTERED CAPE
IN THE 2000 TO 2500 J/KG RANGE. THESE STORMS HAVE SINCE COMBINED
WITH STORMS AND OUTFLOW THAT DEVELOPED ALONG LAKE BREEZE
BOUNDARIES FROM THE LAKE HURON SHORELINE ALL THE WAY TO LAKE ERIE.
THE RESULTING SEVERE COMPLEX WILL MOVE EAST OF THE TERMINAL SITES
BY 8 PM AND EXIT SE MICHIGAN BETWEEN 10 AND 11 PM.

DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE TO OUR EAST AND
WEST TO NW WINDS WILL BRING MVFR CEILING INTO THE REGION. THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE SHOWERS ON THE NORTHWEST
FLANK WHICH WILL LINGER OVER SE MICHIGAN THROUGH MID AFTERNOON
FRIDAY. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
AS THE SYSTEM MOVES FARTHER TO OUR EAST.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 331 PM EDT THU MAY 25 2006

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND FRIDAY

12Z RAOBS/WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOW AN UPPER LOW OVER WISCONSIN...WITH A
SHORTWAVE SWINGING AROUND IT THROUGH ILLINOIS. SURFACE ANALYSIS
SHOWS LOW OVER WISCONSIN...WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING INTO CENTRAL
LOWER AND A COLD FRONT DOWN ACROSS ILLINOIS. REGIONAL RADARS SHOW A
COUPLE AREAS OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING...ACROSS INDIANA/OHIO AND
FARTHER NORTH ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN.

MORNING STRATUS HAS MIXED OUT ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA...WITH
TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE MID/UPPER 70S AND DEWPOINTS HOLDING
IN THE LOW 60S. THIS HAS LED TO MIXED LAYER CAPES OF OVER 1500J/KG
ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA...WITH RAPIDLY DECREASING CIN. SPECIAL 18Z
DTX SOUNDING SHOWS A DECENT LOW-LEVEL CAP IN PLACE...WITH A SURFACE
TEMP OF 82 OR SO NEEDED TO GET AROUND IT. AREAS ACROSS THE THUMB
HAVE RECEIVED THE MOST INSOLATION TODAY WITH UP TO CFS 81F...AND
WITH EXTRA PUSH ALONG THE WARM FRONT STORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED.
EXPECT THIS DEVELOPMENT TO CONTINUE...INITIALLY ALONG THE WARM FRONT
IN THE NORTH AND EVENTUALLY ALONG THE COLD FRONT MOVING IN FROM THE
WEST. THEREFORE WILL STICK WITH NUMEROUS TSRA THROUGH MID EVENING...
THEN WITH SHOWERS CONTINUING OVERNIGHT BUT THUNDER POTENTIAL
DIMINISHING BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. WHILE THE BEST DEEP LAYER SHEAR
WILL BE SOUTH OF THE CWA WITH THE THE CORE OF THE MID-LEVEL JET
PASSING THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY... THERE IS PRETTY GOOD LOW-LEVEL
SHEAR/HELICITY WITH A BACKED SOUTHEASTERLY SURFACE FLOW ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THEREFORE THERE IS A TORNADO POTENTIAL IN
ADDITION TO WIND/HAIL WITH STORMS THAT DEVELOP.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY

SUMMER LIKE CONDITIONS STILL ON TAP FOR THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND WITH
GFS/NAM/ECMWF ALL IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH POSITION AND STRENGTH OF
BUILDING RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN U.S. AND GREAT LAKES REGION. AT THIS
TIME WILL REMOVE MENTION OF LINGERING SHOWERS FRIDAY EVENING AS
STABILIZING NORTH FLOW...SUBSIDENCE AND DRYING MID LEVELS PLUNGING
THROUGH THE CWA BY 00Z SATURDAY.

RIDGE AXIS TO RAPIDLY AMPLIFY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS STRONG TROF
DIGS INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS WILL RESULT IN 850 MB TEMPS
WARMING TO 18C BY SUNDAY AND SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES WORKING
NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR. AS A RESULT ANTICIPATE MCS DEVELOPMENT AND
CONVECTION TO REMAIN NORTH AND WEST OF THE REGION AS WELL. STILL
ANTICIPATE DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH MONDAY WITH TEMPS IN THE MID 80S
THROUGH MONDAY AS WELL. COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION ON MONDAY
AFTERNOON AS MODELS DIMINISH STRENGTH OF MID LEVEL CAP...BUT BELIEVE
MODELS ARE UNDER DONE. STRENGTH OF CAP WILL DEPEND SOMEWHAT ON
POSITION OF TRAPPED/CLOSED LOW ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD. IF LOW
REMAINS NEAR THE COAST OR INLAND...THEN SIGNIFICANT LATENT HEAT
RELEASE UNDERNEATH THE RIDGE WILL RESULT IN STRENGTHENING THE RIDGE
EVEN MORE. IF THIS SOLUTION VERIFIES...THEN TEMPS COULD EASILY CLIMB
INTO THE UPPER 80S AND PRECIPITATION HOLDING OFF UNTIL TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. AT THIS TIME THOUGH MODELS INDICATE RIDGE FLATTENING OUT
ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE NORTHERN GREAT
LAKES. FRONT ALSO BECOMING MORE PARALLEL TO MID LEVEL FLOW AND AS A
RESULT WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE THROUGH THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. SO WILL
LINGER PRECIP INTO THURSDAY MORNING. SLOW MOVING CONVECTION WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER APPROACHING TWO INCHES...WILL ALSO CREATE A HEAVY
RAIN POTENTIAL TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
