AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
745 AM EDT SUN JUN 15 2008

LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...(439 AM EDT SUN JUN 15 2008)
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON FROM THE
NORTHWEST. INCREASING WARM AND MOIST AIR AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL
ALLOW FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO BE POSSIBLE AS THE FRONT
MOVES THROUGH...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES. A FEW SHOWERS
AND STORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT AS A SECOND FRONT MOVES
THROUGH. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DAY ON
TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS AS WAVES
OF LOW PRESSURE WILL ROTATE ACROSS THE AREA. COLDER AIR WILL ALSO
SETTLE IN FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY WHEN HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY REMAIN
IN THE 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(439 AM EDT SUN JUN 15 2008)
(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM FCST PERIOD IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE WEATHER DURING THE DAY TODAY.

NUMEROUS SHORT WAVES CAN BE SEEN IN WV IMAGERY ROTATING AROUND THE
MAIN UPPER LOW CURRENTLY CENTERED NEAR HUDSON BAY. ONE SHORT WAVE IS
MOVING THROUGH NRN WI AND THEN THE NEXT ONE BEHIND IT IS NOW OVER
MN. THESE SHORT WAVES WILL SLIDE EAST THROUGH THE DAY...AND WILL
HELP TO PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

AS THE COLD FRONT IS PUSHING THROUGH...SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THE
FRONT WILL HELP TO ADVECT WARMER AND MORE MOIST AIR TOWARD THE AREA.
MODELS ARE FORECASTING SFC DEW POINTS APPROACHING 70 TO SNEAK UP TO
JUST SOUTH OF THE CWFA LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AND PWATS INCREASING
TO AROUND 1.5 INCHES. IT LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN FORCING WOULD BE IN THE
FORM OF FAIRLY GOOD SFC CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT ALONG WITH ANY
SHORT WAVE RIDING IN FROM THE W/NW. ANOTHER FACTOR WOULD BE THE LAKE
SHADOW EFFECT WITH SW WINDS BRINGING COOLER AIR WEST OF A SOUTH
HAVEN TO CADILLAC LINE.

THESE FORCING MECHANISMS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACT ON ML
CAPES OF 1000-1500 J/KG AND LI/S FALLING DOWN BELOW -5 THAT WILL
DEVELOP AS DIURNAL HEATING TAKES PLACE AND HIGHER MOISTURE ADVECTS
INTO THE AREA. IN ADDITION...STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF OVER 7
C/KM WILL MOVE OVERHEAD. HOW MUCH MOISTURE ADVECTS IN AND THE EXACT
TIMING OF THE FRONT AND ANY SHORT WAVE WILL DICTATE WHERE THE MORE
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION TAKES PLACE. THE GFS AND NAM ARE PRETTY MUCH
TAKING THE FRONT TO NEAR DETROIT BY 00Z MON...AND PLACE THE BEST
CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTH. WE ARE NOT ENTIRELY SOLD WITH THIS
SCENARIO AS THE NEW EURO IS HOLDING THE FRONT BACK A BIT...AND WOULD
PLACE MORE OF THE CWFA UNDER THE GUN WITH EVEN BETTER INSTABILITY.

AS FOR THE SEVERE POTENTIAL...A 70 KNOT JET CORE AT H5 THAT WILL BE
MOVING OVERHEAD WILL ALLOW FOR A GOOD DEAL OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR TO
HELP ORGANIZE AND SUSTAIN CONVECTION. MAINLY UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW
WOULD SUPPORT A DAMAGING WIND THREAT. HAIL THREAT IS HIGH AS THERE
IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CAPE AROUND THE -10C TO -30C LAYER
ALONG WITH THE STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...AND FREEZING LEVELS
EXPECTED TO BE ONLY AROUND 9-10K FEET.

ONCE THE FRONT DOES MOVE THROUGH BY MID EVENING AT THE LATEST...THE
SEVERE THREAT AND WIDESPREAD PCPN POTENTIAL WILL END. A SECONDARY
TROUGH AXIS/COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE MAIN SFC LOW. MOISTURE WILL NOT BE AS
PLENTIFUL AS AHEAD OF THE FRONT...BUT FAIRLY STRONG SFC CONVERGENCE
WILL TRY AND HELP MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE.

THE UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO ROTATE FROM NRN LAKE SUPERIOR ON MON
MORNING...DOWN TO NEAR LAKE ONTARIO BY TUE AFTERNOON. SW LOWER WILL
REMAIN CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE UPPER LOW TO REMAIN UNDER ITS CONTROL.
THE MODELS /GFS AND NAM/ ARE QUITE DRY AS FAR AS PCPN GOES. FCST
SOUNDINGS SHOW VERY LITTLE ROOM UNDER 5-10K FT FOR ANY VERTICAL
GROWTH OF ANY CONVECTION THAT WOULD TRY TO DEVELOP FROM SFC BASED
PARCELS OF TEMPS IN THE 60S AND DEW POINTS IN THE 40S. WE ARE LEARY
OF THE LACK OF PCPN CONSIDERING THE COLD POOL ALOFT AND DIURNAL
INSTABILITY THAT CAN BE GENERATED WITH THE HIGH SUN ANGLE. THE BEST
OPPORTUNITY FOR PCPN WOULD BE IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS.

&&

.LONG TERM...(439 AM EDT SUN JUN 15 2008)
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
A STRETCH OF PLEASANT/DRY WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED DURING THE MID TO
LATE WEEK PERIOD AS LARGE/CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE ERN GRTLKS RGN
AND NEW ENGLAND GRADUALLY FILLS AND LIFTS NE. SURFACE RIDGING IS
PROGGED TO PREVAIL...AND DRY AIR MASS SHOULD RESULT IN COOL NIGHTS
AND MILD DAYS WITH LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES.

UNCERTAINTIES ARISE AS WE MOVE INTO NEXT WEEKEND. MODELS ARE
SUGGESTING THAT A SHORTWAVE TOPPING THE BUILDING UPPER RIDGE IN THE
PLAINS WILL SLIDE ESE AND BRING A THREAT OF SHOWERS/TSTMS. HOWEVER
THIS SOLUTION HINGES ON WHETHER OR NOT THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LOW
IS STILL HAVING AN INFLUENCE ON THE AREA. IF IT IS THEN IT WOULD
SEEM THE APPROACHING WAVE SHOULD BE SHEARED OUT OR FORCED TO STAY
SOUTH OF MI.

SINCE CONFIDENCE IN HOW THINGS WILL PLAY OUT NEXT WEEKEND IS RATHER
LOW ATTM...WILL HAVE A DRY FCST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. PLUS ALL
SURROUNDING NWS OFFICES CURRENTLY HAVE DRY FCSTS BOTH OF THOSE DAYS.

&&

.MARINE...(439 AM EDT SUN JUN 15 2008)
BIGGEST CONCERN TO MARINE INTERESTS WILL BE THE PERIOD LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST
THIS AFTERNOON AND PASS THROUGH BY MID EVENING. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
INCREASE AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE STABLE CONDITIONS OVER THE LAKE
WILL NOT ALLOW FOR WAVES TO BUILD SIGNIFICANTLY. ASSOCIATED WITH THE
FRONT WILL BE THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS ALSO. BY THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS TONIGHT...THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL HAVE MOVED EAST. 10 TO 20
KNOTS WILL REMAIN LIKELY THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...
BUT THAT
SHOULD BE THE UPPER LIMIT.

&&

.AVIATION...(745 AM EDT SAT JUN 14 2008)
SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE A BIG AVIATION
CONCERN FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING... PARTICULARLY FOR THE I-94
CORRIROR AREA. IF AND WHEN TSTMS AFFECT A TERMINAL... THERE WILL
LIKELY BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR VSBYS... GUSTY WINDS GREATER THAN
40KTS... AND EVEN SOME HAIL.  HOWEVER THAT SAID... VFR CONDITIONS
SHOULD STILL PREVAIL OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ATTM IT IS VERY
DIFFICULT TO NAIL DOWN WHEN/WHERE THE ABOVE ADVERSE TSTM CONDITIONS
WILL DEVELOP... SO WILL ONLY USE VCTS IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME.
LATER TAF UPDATES SHOULD HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON TIMING. CURRENTLY
EXPECT TSTMS TO CLEAR THE AREA TO THE SOUTH IN THE 00Z TO 03Z TIME
FRAME.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(439 AM EDT SUN JUN 15 2008)
NO MAJOR UPDATES TO REPORT ON THE AREAL FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT FOR
MASON...LAKE...AND OSCEOLA COUNTIES. ROADS REMAIN IMPASSIBLE IN EACH
OF THE COUNTIES DUE TO EITHER WASHOUTS OR WATER REMAINING OVER THE
ROAD. AS FAR AS THE FLOOD WARNING FOR THE PERE MARQUETTE RIVER AT
SCOTTVILLE...THE LEVEL HAS DROPPED SLIGHTLY BELOW FLOOD STAGE. IT
LOOKS LIKE IT MAY HAVE CRESTED...ALTHOUGH WE WILL NOT CANCEL IT
QUITE YET TO MAKE SURE IT WILL STAY BELOW FLOOD STAGE.

AS FAR AS ADDITIONAL RAINFALL FOR TODAY IS CONCERNED...THE BEST
CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE OVER THE FAR SOUTHERN
COUNTIES. THIS IS WHERE THE BEST MOISTURE WILL ADVECT IN BEFORE THE
FRONT MOVES THROUGH. PRECIPITABLE WATERS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO
AROUND 1.50 INCHES AND DEW POINTS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE INTO THE
60S THERE. FURTHER NORTH...THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAINFALL IS MUCH
LOWER...WITH ONLY LOCAL DOWNPOURS POSSIBLE. BASIN AVERAGE QPF WILL
RANGE FROM UP TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH UP NORTH...TO POTENTIALLY
REACHING AN INCH OR MORE DOWN SOUTH.

535 AM EDT SUN JUN 15 2008

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST LOWER
MICHIGAN.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN
TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE HIGHEST RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER IS SOUTH OF A
LINE FROM SOUTH HAVEN TO LANSING THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE
THREAT IS FOR DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH...
LARGE HAIL... AND ISOLATED TORNADOES.

THUNDERSTORM MOVEMENT WILL BE TO THE EAST SOUTHEAST AT AROUND 40
MPH. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS EXPECTED TO END BY MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH.

SIGNIFICANT FLOODING CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH OF MASON... LAKE
AND OSCEOLA COUNTIES. RIVERS AND STREAMS ARE AT ELEVATED LEVELS AND
MANY ROADS REMAIN CLOSED DUE TO WASHOUTS OR STANDING WATER.

ALTHOUGH THE STORMS TODAY COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS...
THEY ARE NOT EXPECTED TO PERSIST LONG ENOUGH OVER ANY ONE AREA TO
AGGRAVATE THE EXISTING FLOODING PROBLEMS OR INDUCE ADDITIONAL
FLOODING. IN FACT MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD SEE LESS THAN A HALF INCH OF
RAIN TODAY AND TONIGHT. AMOUNTS HIGHER THAN THAT SHOULD BE RATHER
LOCALIZED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE MONDAY BUT SEVERE WEATHER
IS NOT EXPECTED.

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING... PARTICULARLY FOR THE COUNTIES SOUTH OF A LINE FROM
