AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
416 AM EDT WED MAY 9 2007

.SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT

MODEL CONSENSUS SHOWS WEAK SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS
CENTRAL LOWER MI TODAY THEN RETREATING EAST TONIGHT. MEANWHILE AT
500 MB...A LOW/CIRCULATION WELL DEFINED IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY TO
MAKE ITS WAY EAST INTO LOWER MICHIGAN TODAY AND INTO THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES REGION TONIGHT.

850 TO 500 MB MOISTURE ON THE INCREASE TODAY...LESSENING OVERHEAD
TONIGHT. 925 MB MOISTURE FOLLOWING A SIMILAR TREND...THOUGH LESS OF
A DROP OFF IN THIS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TONIGHT. MODELS PORTRAY A
PRETTY GOOD LOW TO MID LEVEL THETA E RIDGE IN PLACE MUCH OF
TODAY...WHILE THERMAL RIDGE AT 850 MB GETS SHUNTED OFF TO THE EAST
TODAY.

MODELS SHOW QUITE ROBUST LOW TO MID LEVEL OMEGA ASCENT
TODAY...THOUGH GFS PROBABLY IS OVERDONE. 850 TO 500 MB QVECTOR
CONVERGENCE ALSO MODEST TODAY INTO THIS EVENING...WITH SURFACE WIND
CONVERGENCE ALSO MODEST TODAY. WEAK MID TO UPPER LEVEL JET CORE
PASSING OVER THE AREA INTO THIS EVENING WILL PROVIDE PRETTY GOOD
DIVERGENCE ALOFT. SEVERAL UBAR/SEC OF ASCENT ALSO SEEN ON THE 300K
ISENTROPIC SURFACE TODAY.

ELEVATED INSTABILITY...SUCH AS PER SHOWALTER INDICES AND SEEN IN
MODEL SOUNDINGS...EARLY TODAY TRANSITIONING INTO MORE SURFACE BASED
BY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE INTENSE
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLY APPROACHING SEVERE. MODEL CAPES OF AT LEAST
SEVERAL HUNDRED JOULES TODAY...THOUGH GFS GREATER...ALONG WITH TOTAL
TOTALS OF 45 TO 50...AND KI INDICES INTO THE MID 30S. CONVECTIVE
INHIBITION FALLING OFF THIS MORNING AND INCREASING AGAIN EARLY
TONIGHT.

FORECASTS TO REFLECT SCATTERED TO LIKELY POPS OF SHOWERS/THUNDER
TODAY...DIMINISHING BY LATE TONIGHT TO ONLY CHANCE OF RESIDUAL LIGHT
RAIN SHOWERS EAST AND SOUTH.

DUE BOTH TO MORE CLOUDS AND THERMAL AXIS MOVING OFF TO THE
EAST...TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL NOT BE QUITE AS WARM AS YESTERDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

IN THE WAKE OF THE WEDNESDAY SYSTEM...WEAK RIDGING BOTH AT THE
SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA ON THURSDAY. LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH DEWPOINTS HOVERING IN THE UPPER
50S AND DAYTIME HIGHS EXPECTED TO PEAK IN THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80.
THERE WILL BE A GOOD AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY IN THE LOW LEVELS WITH A
BROKEN CU DECK EXPECTED TO DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON. LIGHT WINDS
WILL ALSO SUPPORT LAKE BREEZE DEVELOPMENT WITH A LAND TO LAKE DELTA
T OF AROUND 30F. THESE LAKE BREEZES MAY PROVIDE JUST ENOUGH LIFT BY
LATE AFTERNOON FOR AN ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWER OR TWO TO DEVELOP NEAR
THE LAKES. THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED WITH A STRONG CAP IN PLACE
ABOVE 700MB. ANY ACTIVITY THAT DOES DEVELOP WILL QUICKLY DISSIPATE
AS WE LOSE DIURNAL SUPPORT THURSDAY EVENING.

MODELS ARE THEN IN GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING SHORTWAVE ENERGY AND AN
ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW MOVING ACROSS ONTARIO AND QUEBEC FROM
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. MID LEVEL SUPPORT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
FEATURE WILL PASS WELL NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES WITH JUST A TRAILING
COLD FRONT WORKING SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION ON FRIDAY. THE INITIAL
FRONT AND WIND SHIFT WILL BE EVIDENT BY A PUSH OF DRY AIR... WITH
THE STRONGER COLD AIR ADVECTION INCREASING FRIDAY NIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND THE FRONT. THE INITIAL FRONTAL BOUNDARY
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE TRI-CITIES AND THUMB FRIDAY
MORNING AND REACH THE DETROIT AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE FACT
THAT THE FRONT WILL REACH OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES WHEN PEAK HEATING
IS MAXIMIZED ADDS SUPPORT FOR A FEW SHOWERS OR ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM TO DEVELOP. HAVE REMOVED POPS FOR THE NORTHERN CWA
WITH A DRY FROPA EXPECTED IN THAT AREA...WITH JUST A LOW CHANCE
POP BY LATE AFTERNOON IN THE SOUTH.

STRONG HIGH PRESSURE TO THEN BUILD INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES FROM
SATURDAY TO SUNDAY...WITH A PLEASANT WEEKEND IN STORE. THIS
AIRMASS WILL BE MUCH DRIER WITH MEAN LAYER RH BELOW 30 PERCENT
INDICATIVE OF A LARGE DIURNAL SWING. HIGH TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE
FRONT WILL BE CLOSER TO NORMAL UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 104 AM EDT WED MAY 9 2007

AVIATION...

TRENDS REGARDING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT REMAIN THE TOP CONCERN IN
THE AVIATION FORECAST THROUGH TODAY AND TONIGHT AS A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN. CONVECTION FROM CENTRAL INDIANA
TOWARD THE SOUTH END OF LAKE MICHIGAN IS MORE RELIANT ON UPPER
SUPPORT FROM THIS WAVE AND WE EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE THROUGH
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS, FIRST ON A SCATTERED BASIS AND THEN GROWING
IN AREAL COVERAGE TOWARD SUNRISE. THIS WILL TAKE VFR CONDITIONS DOWN
TO MVFR CEILING AND VISIBILITY IN SHOWERS WITH SOME BRIEF IFR
VISIBILITY IN THUNDERSTORMS. COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS WILL THEN CONTINUE TO INCREASE DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS AS
GREATER INSTABILITY DEVELOPS, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE DETROIT AREA
DURING THE AFTERNOON, BUT THEN EXIT TO THE EAST BY SUNSET.
