AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
400 PM EDT SAT JUN 2 2007

.DISCUSSION...STACKED SFC/UPPER LOW SPINNING OVER THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AND SOME SEMBLANCE OF A WARM FRONT OR SFC
TROUGH EXTENDING EASTWARD ACROSS SRN LAKE SUPERIOR INTO SW ONTARIO.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALING UPPER JET STREAK AND DRY SLOT LIFTING
AROUND THE BASE OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH CUTTING ACROSS IOWA INTO
WISCONSIN...AND A SOMEWHAT EXTENSIVE AREA OF SHOWERS ADVANCING
ACROSS EASTERN WISCONSIN AHEAD OF THE JET STREAK. CONVECTION HAS
BEEN ON THE UPTICK OVER FAR EASTERN WISCONSIN DOWN ACROSS SRN LAKE
MICHIGAN WITHIN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AXIS EVIDENT ON SFC ANALYSIS.
ACROSS MICHIGAN...WEATHER UNFOLDING BY AND LARGE AS ANTICIPATED...
WITH A DECENT BUILD UP OF AFTERNOON CU ACROSS NRN LOWER MICHIGAN
TIED TO TERRAIN. AND ONCE AGAIN BEST DEVELOPMENT AND A FEW SHOWERS
HAVE POPPED OVER E/NE LOWER MICHIGAN.

MAIN FORECAST ISSUES CONTINUE TO REVOLVE AROUND CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION
LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS...AND ANY SEVERE WEATHER
POTENTIAL.

FIRST OFF...BAND OF THICKER MID CLOUD MOVING UP ACROSS NRN LOWER
MICHIGAN HAS CURTAILED HEATING/DESTABILIZATION AT TIMES THIS
AFTERNOON AND APPEARS MAY BRING A TEMPORARY END TO ONGOING
CONVECTION OVER NE LOWER MICHIGAN THROUGH 6 PM. SO...MAIN SHOW
LOOKING TO COME WITH UPSTREAM SHOWERS/THUNDER NOW MOVING THROUGH
CENTRAL/SRN LAKE MICHIGAN. REGIONAL RADAR EXTRAPOLATION SUGGESTS BKN
BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIFT NE UP ACROSS THE CWA
THIS EVENING. ALTHOUGH LARGE SCALE UPWARD ASCENT WITH THE STACKED
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FORECAST TO REMAIN WEST OF THE REGION (WISCONSIN
INTO THE U.P) MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN SHOULD HELP PROPAGATE SHOWERS AND STORMS
NEWD THIS EVENING INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH THE BEST
CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH OF M-72. UNCERTAIN JUST HOW THE
COVERAGE WILL PAN OUT...AND WILL THUS KEEP POPS ON THE LIKELY SIDE
OF THINGS FOR NOW. ONCE BAND OF SHOWERS PROGRESSES OUT THE REGION
LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...WILL PROBABLY SEE A BREAK IN THE
PRECIP COVERAGE. BUT HAVE KEPT THE FORECAST SIMPLE AT THIS JUNCTURE
AND CARRIED LIKELY POPS THROUGH THE NIGHT. ON SUNDAY...STACKED
SYSTEM FORECAST TO FINALLY WORK ITS WAY ACROSS THE STATE. EXPECT
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/THUNDER TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE
UPPER LOW/COLD POOL ALOFT MOVING THROUGH...AND WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS
GOING THROUGH THE DAY.

AS FAR AS ANY SEVERE WEATHER IS CONCERNED...STRONGER LOW-MID LEVEL
FLOW DEVELOPING OVER THE S/W PORTION OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON AS
THE STACKED LOW MEANDERS EAST. HOWEVER...WITH ONLY MARGINAL 0-6KM
BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 35 KNOTS ALONG WITH SO-SO CONDITIONAL
INSTABILITY...NOT ANTICIPATING AN ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER EVENT.
WITH THAT SAID HOWEVER...POSSIBILITY IS THERE FOR AN ISOLATED STORM
OR TWO TO LATCH ONTO SOME LOCALIZED HIGHER CAPE OR LOW LEVEL
VORTICITY AND PRODUCE MARGINAL SEVERE HAIL/WIND (SUCH AS THE PRESQUE
ISLE STORM AROUND 330 PM). WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS THREAT IN THE
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR TONIGHT.

LONG TERM...THE MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT TODAY WITH THE
GFS NOW IN LINE WITH THE NAM FROM YESTERDAY. THE NAM HAS BEEN
CONSISTENT FROM YESTERDAY. THERE ARE SOME MINOR THINGS THOUGH THAT
COULD EFFECT THE FORECAST. THEY WILL BE TREATED IN THE TIME PERIOD.

SUNDAY NIGHT...THE LOW BEGINS TO DEEPEN OVERNIGHT AS IT MOVES EAST.
THE SPEED OF IT MOVING EAST IS WHAT IS AT ODDS BETWEEN THE TWO
MODELS. THE NAM IS NOW FASTER THAN THE GFS, WITH THE DIFFERENCE
BEING THAT THEY ABOUT A HUNDRED MILES APART, BY 12Z. WITH THE SYSTEM
MOVING THROUGH RAIN STILL LOOKS LIKELY.

MONDAY...THE GFS IS NOW A BIT BROADER WITH ITS QPF THAN YESTERDAY AS
THINGS LOOK TO HAVE SLOWED A BIT. THE NAM IS ABOUT THE SAME AND
TRIES TO KICK OUT PRECIPITATION WITH THE DEFORMATION AXIS OVER E
UPPER AS THE GFS DOES. RAIN IS LIKELY WITH THE SFC LOW EAST OF THE
REGION AND THE 500 MB LOW OVER THE STATE.

MONDAY NIGHT...A SECONDARY WAVE MOVES IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. SO WILL
LEAVE THE CHANCE POPS OVER THE FORECAST AREA.

TUESDAY...THE RAIN MOVES THROUGH WITH THE SFC AND 500 MB LOWS MOVING
TO THE EAST INTO NEW ENGLAND. WAS TEMPTED TRY AND END THE RAIN IN
THE AFTERNOON PER THE GFS, BUT WITH THE GFS GOING WITH THE NAM IDEA
NOW AND THE NAM IS NOW SHOWING A SECOND SFC WAVE MOVING INTO THE
REGION AS WELL SO WILL LEAVE THE 30 POPS.

TUESDAY NIGHT...THE SFC HIGH BUILDS IN AND THE WARM FRONT IS WELL
WEST OF THE REGION, WILL LEAVE THE NIGHT DRY.

EXTENDED (WEDNESDAY THRU SATURDAY)...WEDNESDAY, HIGH PRESSURE THEN
BUILDS IN AND DRIVES THE RAIN AWAY. THE NEXT SYSTEM IS HELD UP AS
THE LOW FORMS. THURSDAY, WITH THE LOW IN MINNESOTA, WILL BEGIN TO
THROW IN THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AS IT PROGRESSES INTO THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES. FRIDAY, THE FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH THE REGION
IN THE MORNING SO WILL HAVE SOME RAIN SHOWERS. SATURDAY, HIGH
PRESSURE BEGINS TO WORK INTO MICHIGAN, BRINGING PRECIPITATION FREE
WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND.

.AVIATION...ISSUED AT 139 PM.

HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL REMAIN LOCKED IN ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN FOR
THE REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT SLOWLY APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST. WITH THE HEAT AND MOISTURE...AFTERNOON CU WILL ONCE AGAIN
DEVELOP...BUT CEILINGS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE 3K FEET.  A FEW
SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTHEAST LOWER
MICHIGAN...AFFECTING AREAS AROUND KAPN. THEN...A WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN MICHIGAN THIS EVENING...WITH
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD THIS
EVENING..ESPECIALLY AROUND KTVC AND KPLN. THE PRECIP WILL REACH KAPN
AROUND MIDNIGHT. AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLIPS THROUGH...A DRY WEDGE
WILL BEGIN TO ENTER THE PICTURE...INCREASING CEILINGS TO ABOVE 10KFT
AND SETTING THE STAGE FOR SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT AFTER 6Z TONIGHT. THE
RAINFALL THIS EVENING WILL ALSO HELP ADD TO THE FOG POTENTIAL LATE
TONIGHT.
