AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
100 PM EDT TUE JUN 27 2006

.AVIATION...

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATING A MID LEVEL DRY SLOT MOVING THROUGH
SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN...WITH A VORT MAX MOVING INTO SOUTHWEST LOWER
MICHIGAN. THE DRY MID LEVELS MAY LIMIT THE AREAL COVERAGE OF
THUNDERSTORMS. NONE-THE-LESS...WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY THUNDERSTORMS
AT EACH TAF SITE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS WE CONTINUE TO DESTABILIZE
WITH NO CAP. STORMS APPEAR TO BE FIRING ALONG CONVERGENT LINE WHICH
STRETCHES FROM DETROIT SOUTHWEST TO FORT WAYNE INDIANA.
EXPECTING FOG TONIGHT ONCE AGAIN...BUT NOT NEARLY AS DENSE WITH A
SLIGHTLY BETTER GRADIENT AND SOME DRYING OUT OF THE LOW LEVELS. ANY
FOG AND LOW STRATUS AROUND TOMORROW WILL RISE TO BKN MVFR CEILINGS
BY LATE MORNING...WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
EXPECTED TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 338 AM EDT TUE JUN 27 2006

SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE OVERALL LARGE SCALE PATTERN REMAINS FAIRLY AMPLIFIED WITH A
LARGE RIDGE OVER WESTERN NORTH AMERICA AND OVER THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC. THE CURRENT WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS A SHORT WAVE DIVING
INTO NORTHERN MINNESOTA WITH A SECONDARY SHORT WAVE OVER ILLINOIS.
THE 00Z MODEL SUITE INITIALIZED THESE WAVES WELL. MODEL SOLUTIONS
CONTINUE TO INDICATE THE WAVE DROPPING INTO MINNESOTA WILL AMPLIFY
AS IS HEADS INTO THE WESTERN GREAT TONIGHT. THE NAM SOLUTION BECOMES
MUCH MORE AMPLIFIED WITH THE WAVE THAN THE GFS. SINCE THE NAM HAS
BEEN OVER AMPLIFYING THESE WAVES THE LAST COUPLE OF
DAYS...PREFERENCE LIES WITH THE GFS IN TERMS OF THE LARGE SCALE
PATTERN. THIS WAVE WILL ACT TO LIFT THE WAVE OVER IL INTO SOUTHERN
MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON...WITH MODELS FORECASTING A RAPID
DEAMPLIFICATION OF THE WAVE AS IT HEADS INTO SOUTHERN MICHIGAN THIS
AFTERNOON.

THE 00Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWED AN AXIS OF DEEP MOISTURE EXTENDING
ACROSS SOUTHERN MICHIGAN. MUCH DRYER MID LEVEL AIR HOWEVER IS
APPARENT ON THE WATER VAPOR LOOP MOVING NORTH ACROSS INDIANA...
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORT WAVE OVER IL. THIS MID LEVEL DRY AIR WILL
WORK NORTH ACROSS SE MICHIGAN THIS MORNING. THIS COUPLED WITH
STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL LIKELY TOUCH OFF SOME
SCATTERED CONVECTION THIS MORNING.

MID LEVEL CLOUDS OVER THE REGION ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH DURING
THE COURSE OF THE MORNING. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD ALSO MIX OUT.
SO EXPECT AT LEAST PARTLY SUNNY SKIES TODAY...WHICH WILL HELP RAISE
TEMPS TO AROUND 80 THIS AFTERNOON. WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID
60S...SURFACE BASED CAPE PER MODIFIED NAM SOUNDINGS WILL APPROACH
1500 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON. DESPITE MODEL FORECASTS WHICH INDICATE THE
APPROACHING SHORT WAVE TO WEAKEN AND WITH NEGATIVE THETA E ADVECTION
AT 700MB...THINK THERE WILL BE ENOUGH LARGE SCALE SUPPORT ALONG WITH
AMPLE BOUNDARY LAYER CONVERGENCE THIS AFTERNOON TO CARRY NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. SPC
HAS PLACED THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK TODAY. THIS
APPEARS REASONABLE AS MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE MORE CAPE DENSITY
TODAY COMPARED TO YESTERDAY WITH COOLER AND DRYER MID LEVEL AIR OVER
SOUTHERN MI. SOME MODEST DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS ALSO EXPECTED WITH
0-6KM SHEAR FORECAST TO BE AROUND 30 KTS THIS AFTERNOON. HAIL
APPEARS THE BE THE MAIN CONCERN WITH WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS DROPPING
TO 10K FT THIS AFTERNOON. CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME STRONG WIND GUSTS
THOUGH...ESPECIALLY IF MORE SURFACE INSTABILITY IS REALIZED.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

IT SEEMS WE ARE SETTING THE STAGE FOR AN ACTIVE EXTENDED PORTION OF
THIS FORECAST ESPECIALLY HEADING INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

THIS MORNINGS WATER VAPOR ANALYSIS REVEALS A RATHER ACTIVE UPPER
FLOW WITH AN UPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS THE GULF OF ALASKA.  THIS WILL
KEEP THE MAIN JET ACROSS CANADA YET PERTURBATIONS WITHIN THE FLOW
COULD PROVIDE FOR AN ACTIVE PATTERN ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.
PRECEDING THIS IS ANOTHER WAVE DIVING SOUTHWARD ACROSS MINNESOTA
WHERE 500MB TEMPS WERE NEAR -20C.  THE GFS DID A SLIGHTLY BETTER JOB
WITH THE INITIAL BUT THE NAM HAS A BETTER COMPACT SHAPE WITH THE
UKMET SOMEWHAT AN AVERAGE.  SO WE WILL FOLLOW THE UKMET TRACK OF
THIS WAVE WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BE OVER THE STATE BY LATE AFTERNOON.
THIS SETS FOR DECENT MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND WE WILL CARRY
SCATTERED POPS FROM MID-MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.  IF WE ARE
ABLE TO SEE SOME SUNSHINE AND KEEP THOSE DEWPOINTS AROUND
60F...COULD BE ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
SURFACE BOUNDARY AND UPPER LEVEL WAVE WILL TRANSLATE EASTWARD
OVERNIGHT AND WE WILL RETAIN THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/STORMS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

IMPROVING CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY BUT TIMING OF THIS
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PASSAGE REMAINS A CONCERN.  THERMAL TROUGH DOES
LAG BEHIND SOMEWHAT PER THE NUMERICS AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS STILL
SUGGEST CAPES NEAR 1000 J/KG.  AT THIS TIME WE WILL HOLD ONTO THE
CHANCE FOR CONVECTION BUT SHOW THE HIGHER POPS FOR THE EASTERN CWA.
WITH AN INCREASING NORTHWEST FLOW...WE WILL GO WITH PTSUNNY
CONDITIONS AND TEMPS REMAINING INTO THE MIDDLE 70S.

NOW THE REAL INTERESTING ASPECT TO THIS FORECAST WILL BE THE
EVENTUAL IMPACT OF THAT PACIFIC SYSTEM AND ALL OF THAT WARMTH THAT
HAS BUILT UP THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS ACROSS THE WEST.  BAROCLINICITY
WILL BE ON THE INCREASE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS WITH SURFACE
FRONT BECOMING MORE DEFINED EAST OF THE DIVIDE.  LOW LEVEL JET WILL
INCREASE WITH 500MB WIND SPEEDS PROGGED TO BE INCREASING TOWARD
50KTS PER THE GFS/DGEX AND ECMWF.  THIS COULD SET THE STAGE FOR A
SQUALL LINE AND/OR DERECHO EVOLVING UPSTREAM AND TRACKING EASTWARD
TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.  STILL PLENTY OF
TIME TO MONITOR UPSTREAM AND NUMERICAL TRENDS BUT SOMETHING TO WATCH
CLOSELY SINCE THIS WILL BE THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND PLENTY OF OUTDOOR
ACTIVITIES.

OUR ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW REMAINS IN PLACE AND PLACEMENT OF
BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL DICTATE OUR WEATHER HEADING INTO THE
INDEPENDENCE DAY.  TRENDS OF THE DGEX/ECMWF/GFS ARE FOR ANOTHER
CHANCE FOR CONVECTIVE COMPLEX TO IMPACT THE REGION.
