AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
417 PM EDT FRI JUN 6 2008

.DISCUSSION...BRIEF ONE TODAY GIVEN ONGOING WX. CONVECTIVE EVENT
PRETTY MUCH PLAYING OUT AS EXPECTED...WITH VORT LOBE/MODEST HEIGHT
FALLS AND ENCROACHING 110+KT JETLET DRIVING ASCENT AND CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT IN A HIGHLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT (0-6KM SHEAR RUNNING 50
KNOTS OR BETTER). MAIN THREAT FOR THE EVENING WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR
INITIALLY DISCRETE CELLS TO MERGE INTO A LINE BEFORE RAPIDLY EXITING
BY 00-02Z TIMEFRAME. 17Z APX RAOB BEARS OUT LINEAR POTENTIAL WELL
GIVEN STRONG SPEED SHEAR BUT LACK OF DIRECTIONAL TURNING...
COUPLED WITH MORE THAN SUFFICIENT DRY MID-LEVEL AIRMASS TO PROMOTE
DOWNDRAFTS (DCAPES RUNNING 1000 J/KG OR BETTER) AND SUBSEQUENT LINE
ORGANIZATION. AFTER THAT...LITTLE TO SPEAK OF THRU MUCH OF THE NIGHT
WITH LOSS OF SHORTWAVE/JET FORCING AND LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS BUILDING
BACK INTO THE REGION BY MORNING. COULD BE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS
THRU 06Z AS LOW LEVEL JET REMAINS STRONG IN THE PRESENCE OF DEEP
MOISTURE...BUT BEST MASS CONVERGENCE WILL REMAIN WELL NORTH SO
DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYTHING WIDESPREAD BEHIND THE INITIAL LINE.
OVERNIGHT LOWS QUITE WARM IN THE 60S ONCE AGAIN PER LACK OF THERMAL
ADVECTION BEHIND PASSAGE OF WEAK TROUGH AXIS.

LAWRENCE

LONG TERM...WEVE GONE FROM A QUIET PATTERN TO AN ACTIVE PATTERN
OVER THE LAST WEEK AND IT LOOKS TO BE CONTINUING TO BE ACTIVE
THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK.

SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION AT THE SFC, WHILE
THE 500 AND 700 MB RIDGES MOVE EAST. THIS ALLOWS THE NEXT SYSTEM TO
MOVE TOWARD THE REGION. HOWEVER, NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED.

SATURDAY NIGHT...AS THE 500 MB PATTERN FLATTENS (ORIENTS EAST-WEST),
THE FRONT LAYS OVER IN N LOWER. BOTH THE MODELS SHOW PRECIPITATION,
BUT THE GFS HAS SOME IN E UPPER AND THE NAM PRETTY MUCH HAS ALL OF
THE RAIN IN N LOWER. THIS WILL BE HARD TO PIN DOWN SO FOLLOWED THE
FLOW OF HIGHER POPS IN N LOWER BUT HAVE POPS IN E UPPER.

SUNDAY...THE BOTH MODELS CONTINUE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH
THE DAY, AS THE FRONT SLOWLY MOVES THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA AND THE
SFC LOW TRACKS NORTHEAST OUT OF IOWA AND INTO LOWER MICHIGAN. SO
HAVE HIGHER CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST AS IT MOVES THROUGH.

SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY...WHILE THE FRONT STALLS OVER N LOWER THE RAIN
CONTINUES OVER THE REGION OVERNIGHT. THE MODELS HAVE TWO DIFFERENT
SCENARIOS FOR MONDAY, THOUGH. THE GFS BRINGS THE STORM THROUGH LOWER
MICHIGAN, WHILE THE SFC LOW ON THE NAM IS FARTHER SOUTH. WHICHEVER
ONE IS RIGHT, THE RAIN STOPS SHORTLY AFTER THE SYSTEM MOVES EAST AND
THE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE REGION, WHICH LOOKS TO BE OVERNIGHT ON
MONDAY SOMETIME.

EXTENDED (TUESDAY THRU FRIDAY)...TUESDAY, THE SFC LOW AND THE FRONT
IS THROUGH THE REGION, AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION.
WEDNESDAY, THE HIGH PRESSURE IS OVER THE REGION SO EXPECTING NO
RAIN. THURSDAY, THE CHANCE FOR RAIN RETURNS AS THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVES
INTO THE REGION. FRIDAY, THE COLD FRONT LOOKS TO BE PUSHING INTO THE
FORECAST AREA. SO EXPECTING THE CHANCE FOR RAIN STILL.

LUTZ

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 122 PM EDT FRI JUN 6 2008/

.AVIATION...EXPECT CONVECTION TO CONTINUE TO SLOWLY FIRE INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS AS JET MAXIMUM/HEIGHT FALLS ADVANCE INTO THE AREA.
CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN VFR UNDER BKN/OVC CUMULUS DECK...WITH A
BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION LIKELY FIRING ALONG OR JUST EAST OF A
LINE FROM KTVC/KPLN. THUS...EXPECT THE BEST CHANCES FOR MORE
ORGANIZED STORMS WILL BE NOTED AT KAPN 21-00Z TIMEFRAME...AND ANY
STORMS COULD EASILY BECOME SEVERE. FOR KPLN/KTVC WILL MAINTAIN
VICINITY MENTION AS DO NOT FORESEE WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY FOR THE TAF
SITES PROPER...BUT SOMETHING TO BE WATCHED. ANY CONVECTION SHOULD
RAPIDLY EXIT THE PICTURE THIS EVENING...LEAVING CLEARING SKIES AS
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AGAIN A
CONCERN THRU THE NIGHT AS LOW LEVEL JET REMAINS STRONG...WITH
GUSTY SURFACE WINDS RETURNING TO ALL AREAS BY LATE SATURDAY
MORNING AS MIXING/RETURN FLOW ENSUES.
