AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
215 PM EDT MON MAR 31 2008

.AVIATION...

A WEST TO EAST ORIENTED WARM FRONT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED BETWEEN MBS
AND FNT AND IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTH OF THESE AIRPORT BY THIS
EVENING. RAIN SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH OF MBS AROUND 19Z. LOW CLOUDS IN THE LIFR
RANGE WILL LINGER AT THE NORTHERN TAF SITES UNTIL LATE THIS
AFTERNOON WHEN SHOWERS SPREAD BACK IN FROM THE WEST BRINGING SOME
GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT. WINDS AT THE NORTHERN AIRPORTS WILL ALSO SHIFT
AROUND TO THE SOUTH BEHIND THE FRONT AND BECOME BREEZY THIS EVENING.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AT ALL TAF SITES BETWEEN 00-10Z
AND HAVE INCLUDED A TEMPO INTO DTW/DET FOR THE FAVORED TIME OF
04-07Z. WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO EXPECTED.

A LOW LEVEL JET OF 50-60 KNOTS WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTH THIS
EVENING NEAR 3500 FEET. WILL CARRY LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IN THE TAFS
UNTIL THE COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH BETWEEN 8-12Z. AT THAT TIME
SURFACE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE TO 20-25
KNOTS WITH GUSTS OF 35-40 KNOTS.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 415 AM EDT MON MAR 31 2008

SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE 00Z MODEL SUITE ARE OVERALL IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN SHOWING THE MID
LEVEL WAVE OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS LIFTING NORTHEAST...SENDING
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO CENTRAL MICHIGAN
BY TONIGHT. THIS LOW IS FORECAST TO DEEPEN AS IT LIFTS NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE STATE TONIGHT...WITH GOOD UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENT FLOW
EXPECTED OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION. REGIONAL RADAR DATA SHOWS SOME
LIGHT RETURNS ACROSS SOUTHERN MICHIGAN. WEAK LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE IS HELPING TO SUSTAIN THESE SHOWERS. AMPLE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE IS ALSO PROVIDING AREAS OF FOG AND DRIZZLE TO THE AREA.

THE 07Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL
ILLINOIS TO ROUGHLY THE I-96 CORRIDOR. SURFACE TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS
ARE IN THE UPPER 40S AND 50S SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY. AS THE LOW
LIFTS INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TODAY...THIS WARM FRONT WILL
COTINUE TO LIFT NORTH. THE NAM12 INDICATES THIS BOUNDARY LIFTING
INTO THE SAGINAW VALLEY AND NORTHERN THUMB BY AFTERNOON. LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD SUSTAIN AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN
AND DRIZZLE AND FOG. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL GREATLY DIMINISH
AROUND THE DETROIT AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE BETTER LOW LEVEL
FORCING SHIFTS NORTH. DESPITE THE WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER...LOW TO
MID 50S FOR HIGH TEMPS LOOK REASONABLE BASED ON CURRENT TEMPS SOUTH
OF THIS FRONT. TEMPS WILL BE A LITTLE MORE PROBLEMATIC IN THE
SAGINAW VALLEY WHERE THE FRONT GETS HUNG UP. NORTHEASTERLY FLOW OFF
LAKE HURON WILL DEVELOP NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY. THIS MAY KEEP MUCH OF
MIDLAND...BAY AND NORTHERN HURON COUNTIES STUCK IN THE UPPER 30S
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH DURING THE EVENING
THOUGH AS THE SURFACE LOW APPROACHES THE STATE...ALLOWING TEMPS TO
RISE WELL INTO THE 40S IN THESE AREAS.

THE SURFACE LOW IS FORECAST TO TRACK ACROSS CENTRAL MICHIGAN
OVERNIGHT...SENDING A STRONG COLD FRONT THROUGH SE MI EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING. DEEP LAYER LIFT AND AMPLE UPPER DIVERGENCE WILL BE
PRESENT IN ADVANCE OF THIS BOUNDARY. MODEL SOUNDINGS ALSO INDICATE
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RISING TO OVER ONE INCH...WITH K INDICES
INTO THE MID 30S. THIS CERTAINLY WARRANTS WIDESPREAD SHOWERS
TONIGHT. MODEL CROSS SECTIONS CONTINUE TO SHOW A DEEP LAYER OF
CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY ALOFT OVERNIGHT...SUPPORTING SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS. 925MB LIS ON THE NAM ACTUALLY FALL TO AROUND -1C BY
09Z. GIVEN THE VERY STRONG WIND FIELDS WITH 50 TO 60 KNOTS AROUND 2K
FEET...CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BRING SOME
STRONG WIND GUSTS TO THE SURFACE IF THEY ARE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE
SHALLOW SURFACE STABLE LAYER.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

TUESDAY: WINDS WILL BE THE BIG STORY...ALONG WITH FALLING DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES AND A LITTLE LINGERING PRECIPITATION...AS THE SURFACE
LOW TRACKS FROM THUNDER BAY INTO EASTERN ONTARIO BY 18Z. MODELS SHOW
COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE OCCURRING ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN BETWEEN 09Z
AND 15Z. NAM/GFS SHOW IMPRESSIVE ISENTROPIC DESCENT ALONG AND BEHIND
THIS BOUNDARY...WITH WIND PROFILES REMAINING FAVORABLE FOR STRONG
WIND GUSTS MIXING DOWN TO THE SURFACE AS THEY INDICATE FAIRLY
UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND FIELDS AND STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES. NAM
SOUNDINGS SUGGEST WE WILL ONLY NEED TO MIX TO 3000 FEET JUST BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT TO MIX INTO 50 KTS. ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT WILL ALSO
BE STRONG AS SURFACE PRESSURES RISE RAPIDLY OVER THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES AND SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO DEEPEN AS IT TRACKS THROUGH
CANADA. CURRENT FORECAST REFLECTS GUSTS AROUND 40 MPH THROUGH THE
MORNING AND AFTERNOON...AND WILL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE AS WE GET
CLOSER TO SEE IF A WIND ADVISORY IS WARRANTED. WILL CONTINUE TO
HIGHLIGHT GUSTS TO 50 MPH IN THE HWO.

IN ADDITION TO THE STRONG WIND POTENTIAL...THERE WILL BE A
PRONOUNCED CHANGE IN AIRMASS BEHIND THE FRONT AS DRY AIR PUNCHES IN
AT THE MID LEVELS. THIS WILL ALLOW PRECIPITATION TO TAPER TO LIGHT
SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON WHEN ICE NUCLEI MAY BE
STRIPPED AWAY BY DRY MID LEVEL AIR. THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE
POSSIBLE DURING THE MORNING WITH MODELS SHOWING POTENTIAL FOR
INSTABILITY TO BRIEFLY BECOME SURFACE BASED AS THE LOW TRACKS
THROUGH CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN. TEMPERATURES WILL BE TRICKY AS THEY
MAY INITIALLY RISE A FEW DEGREES IN THE MORNING AS MIXING INCREASES
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...THEN FALL SHARPLY AS STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION
OCCURS.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY: STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD OVER MICHIGAN TUESDAY NIGHT...AND LAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS
WILL ALLOW SKIES TO CLEAR AND GUSTY WINDS TO SUBSIDE. TEMPERATURES
WILL STILL REMAIN SEASONABLY COOL HOWEVER UNDER CONTINUED WEAK COLD
AIR ADVECTION...DESPITE THE EARLY APRIL SUNSHINE.

NEXT SYSTEM STILL EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY THURSDAY
NIGHT...WITH RAIN AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT AND IN THE DEFORMATION
ZONE SPREADING INTO LOWER MICHIGAN THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. 31.00Z EURO MODEL REMAINS NEARLY A DAY LATER WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THIS SYSTEM TO OUR SOUTH...BUT PREFER THE TIGHTER AND
MORE CONSISTENT CONSENSUS OF THE GFS/GEM/UKMET. AS THE LOW TRACKS
INTO THE NORTHEAST ON FRIDAY NIGHT...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL ONCE
AGAIN BUILD OVER THE GREAT LAKES FOR SATURDAY...BRINGING WHAT LOOKS
TO BE A FAIRLY DRY DAY. WILL HAVE TO WATCH A COLD FRONT THE PAST FEW
RUNS OF THE GFS HAVE DROPPED INTO MICHIGAN FROM
CANADA...HOWEVER...AS MODEL OUTPUT IS NOW SUGGESTING SOME LIGHT
PRECIPITATION DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. PAST FEW RUNS OF THE GFS
THEN HINT AT ANOTHER SYSTEM AND STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHING DOWN FROM
CANADA ON SUNDAY.

MARINE...

DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO TRACK FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
THIS MORNING THROUGH CENTRAL LAKE HURON BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. AN
ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS SOUTHERN MICHIGAN
TODAY. THIS FRONT WILL LIKELY STALL OVER SOUTH CENTRAL LAKE HURON
THIS EVENING. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL STRENGTHEN SUBSTANTIALLY SOUTH OF
THIS BOUNDARY TODAY. HOWEVER...WIND GUSTS OVER THE MARINE AREAS
SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 25 KNOTS GIVEN THE EXTREMELY STABLE CONDITIONS
OVER THE LAKES. THE SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK A STRONG COLD FRONT
THROUGH THE REGION EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. WIND WILL INCREASE LATE
TONIGHT AS THE GRADIENT FLOW STRENGTHENS. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION
TUESDAY MORNING IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT WILL CAUSE GALE FORCE WIND
GUSTS AS CONDITIONS BECOME UNSTABLE OVER THE MARINE AREAS. STRONG
WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY AS THE LOW LIFTS INTO
QUEBEC. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD INTO THE REGION BY
WEDNESDAY... ALLOWING WINDS AND WAVES TO DIMINISH.
