What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Gaylord, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 28, 8:11 PM EDT, 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 8:11 PM EDT, 32 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
811 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2008

.AVIATION...TIMED THE RAIN THROUGH THE TAF SITES AND THE WIND. ONE
FLY IN THE OINTMENT IS A GRAVITY WAVE, THAT IS RACING OUT AHEAD OF
THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS. THIS WAVE HAS BEEN CAUSING WINDS TO
GUST AROUND 50+ MPH. THESE WINDS ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
THUNDERSTORMS AS THEY ARE MOVING INDEPENDENTLY OF THE CONVECTION.
OTHERWISE, THE RAIN WILL DIMINSH FOR A TIME TONIGHT, BUT THEN THE
COLD POOL OF AIR ALOFT WILL REGENERATE SHOWERS BY 12Z.

LUTZ

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 803 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2008/

UPDATE...LOOKS LIKE A GRAVITY WAVE HAS OUT RACED THE LINE OF
CONVECTION THAT IS CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE REGION. THIS WAVE
HAS NOW GIVEN US NON T-STORM WIND DAMAGE WITH GUSTS IN MOST OF
THEM AROUND 50 MPH. SO HAVE HOISTED A WIND ADVISORY THROUGH THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.

LUTZ

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 418 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2008/

DISCUSSION...500 MB LOW IN WISCONSIN WITH A LARGE AREA OF
THUNDERSTORMS ROTATING OUT OF WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS.
THIS IS THE MAIN CONCERN OF THE FORECAST PACKAGE.

TONIGHT...BASED ON THE MOTION OF THE STORMS AND THE 500 MB LOW AND
COLD POOL, THE THUNDERSTORMS ROTATING OUT OF WISCONSIN AND N
ILLINOIS WILL MOVE INTO SW LOWER AND THEN IN NE LOWER. AHEAD OF
THIS THERE ARE A SCATTERING OF T-STORMS ALONG THE LFQ OF THE JET
CORE ROTATING AROUND THE LOW. CAPES ARE IN THE 800-1000 J/KG
CURRENTLY WITH MORE JUICY AIR TO THE SW AHEAD OF THE NEXT SET OF
STORMS. WHILE THESE STORMS ARE BEGINNING TO GET THINGS STARTED,
THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THE WIND AND HAIL WILL BE WITH THE SECOND
LINE AS THE JET CORE GETS STRONGER. THIS LOOKS TO BE WRAPPING UP
BY 03Z AT THE LATEST AS WE LOSE THE SFC BASED INSTABILITY. THEN
THINGS SHOULD QUIET ENOUGH SO THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE
PRECIPITATION WILL BE RAIN SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDER.

SUNDAY...WITH THE 500 MB LOW JUST TO THE NORTHEAST AND THE TROUGH
OVER N LOWER, THE COLD POOL WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION, CAUSING
SHOWERS AND PROBABLY A LITTLE THUNDER.

LUTZ

SUNDAY NIGHT THRU MONDAY NIGHT...VERTICALLY STACKED LOW WILL
CONTINUE TO SPIN NE OF MICHIGAN ALONG THE ONTARIO/QUEBEC BORDER
SUNDAY NIGHT AND THEN LIFT NORTHWARD TO JAMES BY ON MONDAY. LAST
SPOKE OF ENERGY WILL ROTATE THRU NRN MICHIGAN AROUND THE BASED OF
THE 500 MB TROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. ENHANCED LIFT AND MOISTURE
COMBINED WITH RESIDUAL DAYTIME HEATING/INSTABILITY AND COLD AIR
ALOFT WILL PRODUCE ISOLD SHRA/TSRA INTO SUNDAY EVENING. HIGH
PRESSURE...SUBSIDENCE AND DRIER AIR WILL BUILD INTO MICHIGAN LATE
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. JUST ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND WEAK
CYCLONIC FLOW MAY LINGER INTO MONDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS NE LOWER
MICHIGAN TO PRODUCE AN ISOLD SHRA/TSRA. OTHERWISE...EXPECT MAINLY
DRY CONDITIONS THRU MONDAY NIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE
UPPER 40S AND LOWER 50S. HIGH TEMPS MONDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE IN THE
UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S.

TUESDAY THRU SATURDAY...LONG WAVE PATTERN WILL STAY RATHER ACTIVE
THRU THE WEEK...WITH OVERALL TROUGHING REMAINING THE PROMINENT UPPER
LEVEL FEATURE. SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL HOLD OVER THE REGION THRU
TUESDAY DURING THE DAY. A WEAK NRN STREAM COLD FRONT WILL SAG SOUTH
INTO UPPER MICHIGAN TUESDAY NIGHT...PROVIDING A CHANCE OF SHRA/TSRA
IN THIS VCNTY. NRN LOWER MICHIGAN SHOULD REMAIN DRY UNTIL
WEDNESDAY...AT WHICH TIME THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT WILL DROP INTO LOWER
MICHIGAN AND BRING A CHANCE OF PRECIP TO THE ENTIRE REGION ON
WEDNESDAY. AS THE FRONT SAGS FURTHER SOUTH...PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE
CONFINED TO NRN LOWER MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THEN TO LOCATIONS
ALONG AND SOUTH OF M-72 ON THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK
INTO MICHIGAN ON FRIDAY...WITH MAINLY DRY WX ANTICIPATED FOR FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY. ONE POTENTIAL FLY IN THE OINTMENT IS A WEAK AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE PROGGED TO SKIRT SRN LOWER MICHIGAN FRIDAY NIGHT...
WHICH COULD BRING A CHANCE OF PRECIP TO OUR SRN COUNTIES. HOWEVER...
WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST WITH THE EXPECTATION OF PRECIP CHANCES
STAYING SOUTH OF OUR AREA. AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPS WILL GENERALLY BE IN
THE 70S THRU THE ENTIRE PERIOD...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS MAINLY IN THE
50S.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 206 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2008/

AVIATION...CURRENTLY, THUNDERSTORMS ARE STAYING OUT OF THE TAF
REGIONS. HOWEVER, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. THE MAIN CONCERN
WILL BE THE STORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE UPPER LOW. THE
THUNDER LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE IN THE REGION AFTER 20Z AT THE
LATEST.
