AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
412 PM EDT SAT JUN 2 2007

.SHORT TERM...
THE MAIN ISSUE WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANTLY RAINFALL SUNDAY
AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES EVER SO SLOWLY.
THERE IS A MARGINAL THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY DEPENDING
ON THE AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE. THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM
CONTINUES INTO MONDAY AS THE UPPER LOW WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE OUT AS
IT WAS TO MOVE IN. SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER AIR MOVES IN SUNDAY EVENING
AS THE UPPER COLD POOL MOVES OVERHEAD. HIGHS MAY STRUGGLE TO MAKE 65
DEGREES IN MANY AREAS ON MONDAY.

TONIGHT...A SHORTWAVE ACTING ON THE THERMAL DISCONTINUITY AND
POSSIBLE OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THE EARLY MORNING CONVECTION WILL
BE OUT OF THE CWA BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE...THE CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEAD EDGE OF THE UPPER COLD POOL...WHICH IS
ALREADY MOVING INTO THE WESTERN CWA WILL CROSS THE CWA BY MID
EVENING. THAT WILL PUSH AN AREA OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CWA INTO THE LATE EVENING HOURS. DUE TO THE
WEAK WIND FIELDS... ONLY PULSE SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED SO ONCE
THE SUN SETS...SO SHOULD THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER. DUE TO THE
UPPER COLD POOL THE AREA OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE EASTWARD ACROSS THE CWA INTO LATE EVENING. ONCE
THAT LINE GETS THROUGH BY MIDNIGHT OR SO ONLY SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED. THERE SHOULD BE TO MUCH LAYERED CLOUDS TO GET MUCH IN THE
WAY OF DENSE FOG EVEN SO... SOME PATCHY FOG IS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. I DID NOT PUT THAT INTO THE ZONE WORDING AS I DO NOT
EXPECT IT TO BE A BIG DEAL.

SUNDAY...SHOULD BE THE WETTEST DAY FOR MOST OF THE AREA IN THIS
FORECAST CYCLE. THE UPPER LOW GOES NEGATIVE TILT OVER LOWER MICHIGAN
BY LATE AFTERNOON. THE ZERO TO 6 KM SHEAR IS LESS THAN 30 KNOTS
THROUGH THE DAY ACROSS THE CWA DUE TO MOSTLY SOUTHERLY WINDS THROUGH
250 MB. THAT AND THE DEEP LAYERED CLOUDS SHOULD LIMIT THE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM THREAT BY KEEPING CAPE VALUES MOSTLY BELOW 500 J/KG.
EVEN SO...BY LATE AFTERNOON THE ENTRANCE REGION OF THE UPPER LEVEL
JET MOVES INTO THE WESTERN CWA TO ADD FUEL TO THE CONVECTION.
MOISTURE WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE AS THE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL
BE NEAR ONE AND A HALF INCHES. ALSO SURFACE DEW POINTS WILL STILL BE
IN THE 60S. MODEL SOUNDING DUE NOT SHOW MUCH OF A DRY LAYER EITHER.
GIVEN ALL OF THIS... IT WILL RAIN SUNDAY ACROSS ALL OF THE CWA. MOST
OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING
WITH ENTRANCE REGION OF THE UPPER JET COMING INTO THE PICTURE.

SUNDAY NIGHT...THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW MOVES IN AND THAT
WILL LIMIT THE SHOWER THREAT. STILL UNTIL THE SINKING AIR BEHIND THE
OCCLUDED FRONT MOVES IN THERE WILL BE THE THREAT INTO THE MID
EVENING.

MONDAY...THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE MOVES IN WHILE THERE IS STILL SOME
INSTABILITY.  THUS SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM REMAIN
POSSIBLE. WITH THE COLD AIR IN PLACE... AND 850 MB TEMPERATURES
FORECAST BELOW 5C... TEMPERATURES COULD WELL REMAIN THE LOWER TO MID
60S ACROSS THE CWA.  MONDAY WILL SEEM CHILLY COMPARED THE PAST WEEK.

MONDAY NIGHT... THE UPPER COLD CORE IS SHEARING OUT. IN SO DOING THE
THREAT FOR SHOWERS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISH. SOME CLEARING IS
POSSIBLE LATE. IF SO... LOWS COULD BE NEAR 40 DEGREES IN THE
NORTHERN CWA.

.LONG TERM... (TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)

HAVE ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER... SO WILL BE BRIEF.

FORECASTS FROM MID RANGE MODELS PRETTY STEADY STATE WITH ONE SLOW
STACKED WEATHER SYSTEM PULLING AWAY FROM THE AREA FOLLOWED BY
ANOTHER SLOW MOVING STACKED SYSTEM WITHIN TWO DAYS. WITH UNCERTAINTY
IN TIMING OF SHORT WAVES AROUND MAJOR SYSTEMS... HAVE A BROAD BRUSH
30 TO 40 POP ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. ONLY OTHER CHANGES
WERE SMALL TWEAKS FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORS. TEMPERATURES
CLOSE TO NORMAL THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIODS.

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE
