AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
125 PM EDT WED JUN 20 2007

UPDATED FOR 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION

.SYNOPSIS...
14Z WATER VAPOR LOOP AND 12Z RAOBS SHOWED NW FLOW ALOFT FROM A RIDGE
STRETCHING FROM THE FOUR CORNERS AREA UP INTO ALBERTA AND A TROUGH
IN THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. WITHIN THIS FLOW...SHRTWVS ARE HARD TO
DEPICT...THOUGH THERE ARE TWO WHICH SEEM TO BE STAND OUT. ONE IS
LOCATED OVER NORTH CENTRAL ONTARIO...WHICH WAS THE UPPER LOW IN
SASKATCHEWAN YESTERDAY...AND ANOTHER IN FAR NW ONTARIO. DPVA AHEAD
OF BOTH OF THESE FEATURES...COMBINED WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT AND
FRONTOGENESIS IN THE MID-LEVELS...HAS SUPPORTED MID CLOUDS WITH
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS FROM THE AITKIN AREA OF MN TO THE
KEWEENAW PENINSULA. 12Z TAMDAR SOUNDING FROM HIBBING SHOWS THE
CLOUDS WELL WITH A SATURATED AREA AROUND 700MB...ALONG WITH STEEP
LAPSE RATES IN THE DRIER SUBCLOUD LAYER DOWN TO 850MB (AROUND
8C/KM). THESE STEEP LAPSE RATES HAVE RESULTED IN MAKING THE CLOUDS
CONVECTIVE LOOKING...THOUGH IT HAS BEEN A FEW HOURS SINCE ANY
LIGHTNING HAS OCCURRED. SURFACE DEWPOINTS HAVE ALSO CLIMBED IN THIS
AREA OF CLOUDS ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT...WITH READINGS
NOW AROUND 54F. THE WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT IS QUITE
STRONG...NOTED BY W WINDS AROUND 45 KT ON THE HIBBING TAMDAR
SOUNDING. 850MB TEMPS WERE 14.5C...COMPARED TO 8C OBSERVED AT GRB
AND APX.
&&

.UPDATE...
GIVEN THE LACK OF LIGHTNING FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE 9 AM...AND
CLIMATOLOGY WHICH USUALLY DOESNT FAVOR ELEVATED ACTIVITY AFTER THE
SUN COMES UP...DECIDED TO PULL MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE
MORNING HOURS.

HOWEVER...CONDITIONS REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR THUNDERSTORMS... POSSIBLY
SEVERE...TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE SHRTWV OVER NW ONTARIO
DROPS DOWN INTO NORTHERN LAKE SUPERIOR PER RUC ANALYSIS...IT WILL
FORCE THE COLD FRONT IN NORTH CENTRAL MN INTO UPPER MI. THE WEAK
PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG THE FRONT WILL FAVOR LAKE BREEZES TO
CONVERGE ON IT...WHICH SHOULD SERVE AS THE TRIGGERING MECHANISM FOR
STORMS THIS AFTERNOON. SHEAR AGAIN IS DEFINITELY NOT A PROBLEM WITH
0-6 KM VALUES OF 50-60 KT PER RUC ANALYSIS. MOISTURE FOR THIS
AFTERNOON SHOULD COME FROM CENTRAL MN PER MOISTURE TRANSPORT
VECTORS...AND WITH SOME SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS THIS MORNING FROM THE
ELEVATED ACTIVITY...DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 50S SEEM REASONABLE.
ALTHOUGH SOME CLOUD COVER WILL BE TRACKING ACROSS THE U.P....
ESPECIALLY THE NORTH AND EAST WITH THE ELEVATED SHOWERS...ALL OF IT
IS MOVING FAIRLY QUICKLY. IN FACT...THE SOUTHERN U.P. MAY STAY
MOSTLY SUNNY FOR MANY HOURS. THUS WITH 850MB TEMPS OF 13C ARRIVING
FOR THIS AFTERNOON...HIGHS SHOULD MAKE IT UP TO THE CURRENT FCST
VALUES. MODIFIED A RUC SOUNDING FOR 21Z AT IMT FOR 80/54 WHICH
RESULTS IN 1050 J/KG OF CAPE AND NO CIN. THEREFORE STORMS SEEM
LIKELY TO FORM AWAY FROM THE MARINE COOLED NW U.P.. LOW FREEZING
LEVELS OBSERVED ON THE HIBBING SOUNDING (10000 FT) ALONG WITH DRY
LOW LEVELS AND 40-50 KT WINDS BETWEEN 7000-10000 FT SUPPORT BOTH
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. 13Z SPC DAY 1 OUTLOOK MAINTAINS MOST
OF CWA...EXCLUDING THE MARINE COOLED NW...IN A SLIGHT RISK WHICH
LOOKS GOOD AT THIS POINT. AT THE PRESENT TIME...CONVECTION MAY FIRE
AS EARLY AS 18Z...GIVEN PRESENCE OF LITTLE CAPPING. MUCH OF IT
SHOULD BE OUT OF THE U.P. BY 00Z...HEADING TO THE SE WITH THE COLD
FRONT AND SHRTWV.

&&

.DISCUSSION (ISSUED AT 425 AM EDT)...

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS SHOW WNW FLOW INTO THE UPPER
LAKES BTWN A BROAD RIDGE COVERING THE WRN CONUS AND DOWNSTREAM TROF
FROM HUDSON BAY TO THE ERN GREAT LAKES. IN THE WNW FLOW...MAIN
FEATURES OF INTEREST ARE A COMPACT BUT VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE WHICH IS
TRACKING THRU NRN ONTARIO AND A WEAKER SHORTWAVE/JET STREAK NOW
TRACKING ESE INTO SRN MANITOBA. SMALL CLUSTER OF SHRA/TSRA IS
ACCOMPANYING FIRST SHORTWAVE INTO FAR NRN MN WITHIN MDT 850MB
THETA-E ADVECTION AHEAD OF NARROW THETA-E RIDGE. AT THE SFC...LOW
PRES...TIED TO SECOND SHORTWAVE...IS LOCATED JUST E OF LAKE
WINNIPEG.

SHRA/TSRA OVER NRN MN SHOULD REACH THE KEWEENAW SHORTLY AFTER 12Z
AND CONTINUE E FROM THERE AS THETA-E ADVECTION QUICKLY SPREADS E
ACROSS UPPER MI. IN THE AFTN HRS...SECONDARY SHORTWAVE/JET STREAK
APPROACHES...AND IT IS THIS FEATURE THAT COULD PRODUCE SVR STORMS.
DEEP LAYER SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 50-60KT IS PLENTY SUFFICIENT FOR
STORM ORGANIZATION. SO QUESTION IS...WILL INSTABILITY BE GREAT
ENOUGH FOR SVR STORMS TO TAKE SHAPE. MUCH WILL DEPEND ON AMOUNT OF
HEATING AND DWPT RECOVERY TODAY. IN GENERAL...IT APPEARS THERE WILL
BE ENOUGH SUN TO BOOST TEMPS INTO THE UPPER 70S. MEANWHILE...SFC TD
SHOULD BE ABLE TO RISE INTO THE LWR 50S. MODIFIED NAM/GFS FCST
SOUNDINGS FOR A SFC T/TD OF 78/52F YIELD CAPE FROM 500 UPWARDS TO
1000J/KG. THUS...SVR STORMS ARE A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY. LATEST SPC
OUTLOOK REFLECTS THIS POTENTIAL AS FCST AREA IS NOW INCLUDED IN THE
SLIGHT RISK OF SVR TODAY. FREEZING LEVELS ARE PROGGED AROUND 10KFT
WITH WET-BULB ZERO AROUND 9KFT...FAVORABLE FOR LARGE HAIL. IN
ADDITION...SFC TO MIDLEVEL DELTA THETA-E VALUES ARE AROUND 20K...
FAVORABLE FOR DAMAGING WIND. PROGRESS OF COLD FRONT AND DEVELOPMENT
OF LAKE BREEZES WILL BE CRITICAL FOR DETERMINING WHERE STRONGEST
CONVECTION FIRES. APPEARS THAT THE AREA E OF IRONWOOD TO LANSE WILL
BE FAVORED FOR THE STRONGEST STORMS TODAY AS MARINE LAYER WILL BEGIN
TO STABILIZE THE FAR W UNDER WRLY WINDS EARLY THIS AFTN. THE
SCNTRL/E SHOULD BE MOST AT RISK FOR SVR STORMS AS THAT AREA WILL
SEE BEST HEATING AND STRONGEST LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE IN THE MID/LATE
AFTN AS WIND SHIFT ALONG COLD FRONT/LAKE BREEZES SHARPENS.

ANY PCPN LINGERING PAST THE AFTN OVER THE SRN OR SE FCST AREA SHOULD
END EARLY THIS EVENING AS DEEP LAYER QVECTOR DIVERGENCE/SUBSIDENCE
OVERSPREADS THE AREA. IN FACT...SKIES SHOULD BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR.
VARIOUS MOS GUIDANCE IS SIMILAR FOR MINS TONIGHT...BUT DID FAVOR THE
GFS MOS AS IT IS COOLEST OVER THE INTERIOR W (UPPER 40S) WHERE SFC
RIDGE AXIS WILL BE NEARING LATE IN THE NIGHT.

ON THU...GFS DOES SPIT OUT SOME PCPN OVER THE W DURING THE MORNING
HRS WITHIN A STREAK OF MIDLEVEL FRONTOGENESIS. NW FLOW IN THE SUMMER
CAN OFTEN BE PROBLEMATIC WITH SCT/ISOLD CONVECTION DEVELOPING DUE TO
ANY SUBTLE FEATURE IN THE FLOW. HOWEVER...THE OVERALL DRY
ENVIRONMENT SUGGESTS GFS IS LIKELY AMBITIOUS WITH PCPN. SO...AT THIS
POINT...EXPECT A PLEASANT DAY THU WITH WEAK SFC HIGH PRES RIDGE AXIS
SETTLING OVER THE AREA...ALLOWING LAKE BREEZES TO DEVELOP OFF OF
LAKE SUPERIOR. TRANQUIL WEATHER WILL CONTINUE RIGHT THRU THU NIGHT
AS SFC RIDGE DRIFTS ONLY SLIGHTLY TO THE E...REACHING ERN LAKE
SUPERIOR/ERN UPPER MI BY FRI MORNING. WARM FRONT THAT WILL BE
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE PLAINS THU NIGHT WILL BE FAR ENOUGH TO THE SW
TO KEEP PCPN WELL SW OF FCST AREA.

DRY WEATHER SHOULD PERSIST THRU THE DAY FRI AS FCST AREA WILL BE
WELL N OF AN ACTIVE WARM FRONT TO THE S...AND SHORTWAVE ROUNDING
W/CNTRL CONUS RIDGE WILL BE TOO FAR NW TO POSE A PCPN CONCERN YET.
THERE IS LITTLE AGREEMENT AMONG THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS WITH THIS
SHORTWAVE. GFS/CANADIAN BRING ASSOCIATED SFC COLD FRONT THRU THE
AREA AT SOME POINT EARLY IN THE WEEKEND...THE ECMWF SUN NIGHT...AND
THE UKMET KEEPS FRONT N OF THE AREA THRU MON. AT THIS POINT...BEST
GAME PLAN IS TO MAINTAIN INHERITED FCST WITH LOW CHC POPS SPREADING
ACROSS FCST AREA FRI NIGHT AS COLD FRONT SWEEPS THRU THE UPPER
LAKES. THIS IS ROUGHLY INLINE WITH 00Z GFS SOLUTION.

&&

.AVIATION (FOR 18Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

SURFACE FRONT WILL CROSS OVER UPPER MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS
SHOULD PICK UP AT CMX...BUT DO NOT EXPECT ANY RAIN. FRONT AND ANY
LAKE BREEZES THAT MAY DEVELOP WILL ACT AS FORCING MECHANISMS FOR
PRECIPITATION AROUND KSAW. BEST TIMING FOR THUNDERSTORMS APPEARS TO
BE 20-23Z. STRONG WINDS RIGHT ABOVE THE SURFACE COULD MIX DOWN TO
THE SURFACE IN ANY STRONGER STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP...SO LEFT IN
STRONGER GUSTS IN TEMPO GROUP. ONCE FRONT MOVES THROUGH IN EVENING
HOURS CONDITIONS SHOULD CLEAR. DID NOT INCLUDE POSSIBILITY OF FOG IN
KSAW TAF...BUT IF HEAVY RAINS DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON FOG COULD
OCCUR OVERNIGHT. ADDITIONAL MIDLEVEL CLOUDS MOVE INTO THE AREA LATE
OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY MORNING HOURS WITH CONDITIONS REMAINING VFR.

&&

.MARINE (FOR THE 4 AM LAKE SUPERIOR FCST ISSUANCE)...

QUICK INCREASE IN WINDS EXPECTED TODAY AS TIGHTLY WOUND UP LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER MANITOBA DIPS INTO THE LAKE SUPERIOR REGION.
WINDS COULD APPROACH 30 KT OVR WEST LK SUPERIOR BTWN KEWEENAW AND
ISLE ROYALE AS SW WINDS CHANNEL BTWN THE TWO LAND MASSES. WINDS NOT
NEAR AS STRONG OVER EAST HALF WITH FAIRLY LIGHT GRADIENT THERE.
SHOULD SEE MESOHIGH/LAKE BREEZE DEVELOPMENT BY LATE AFTN. HIGH PRES
BUILDS IN THU/FRI WITH ANOTHER FRONT FM CANADA SHIFTING ACROSS LK
SUPERIOR FRI NIGHT INTO SAT. AFTER THE BRUSH WITH 30 KT WINDS
TODAY...DO NOT EXPECT ANY WINDS ABOVE 25 KT REST OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD.
