AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
416 AM EST WED FEB 11 2009

.SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT FOR ALL
OF SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. HEADLINES FOR HIGH WIND ARE ALSO IN EFFECT.
PLEASE SEE THE FIRST PORTION OF THE LONG TERM DISCUSSION FOR DETAILS
ON THE HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.

HEAVY RAINFALL AND THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL REMAIN THE FIRST CONCERN
IN THE FORECAST FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS LOW
PRESSURE GATHERING STRENGTH OVER OKLAHOMA AND RADAR COMPOSITES
INDICATE A BROAD AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING
NORTHWARD INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND INDIANA, ABOUT ON SCHEDULE
COMPARED TO THE 00Z MODEL OUTPUT. ALSO SUPPORTING MODEL OUTPUT ARE
RAINFALL OBSERVATIONS IN THE OHIO VALLEY, SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, AND
MISSOURI. SIX HOUR TOTALS ENDING AT 06Z APPROACHED AN INCH IN
SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND HOURLY RATES WERE ON THE INCREASE IN SOUTHERN
ILLINOIS WITH A FEW 1 HOUR TOTALS AROUND 0.5 INCH. ACCORDING TO THE
00Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS, THE MODELS MAY HAVE THE PRECIPITABLE WATER
OVERDONE BY ABOUT 0.25 INCH IN THE OHIO VALLEY. EVEN WHEN FACTORING
THAT IN, IT IS LIKELY WE WILL EXCEED THE RECORD PW VALUE OF 0.8 INCH
IN THE DTX UPPER AIR CLIMATOLOGY FOR THIS DATE AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES
THROUGH OUR AREA. ABOUT THE ONLY THING LEFT TO PIN DOWN IS THE MOST
LIKELY AREA OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL, AND THE SAGINAW VALLEY AND THUMB
IS STARTING TO LOOK MORE FAVORED DUE TO THE ALIGNMENT OF THE FRONTAL
ZONE AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS THROUGH SE MICHIGAN. AT THE
SAME TIME, THE ADVANCING MOISTURE SURGE NOW MOVING THROUGH ILLINOIS
AND INDIANA LOOKS IMPRESSIVE AS WELL. ITS JUST THAT POINTS FARTHER
NORTH HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LIE UNDER THE MID LEVEL FRONTAL FORCING
AND TROWAL AXIS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AS MARKED BY THE
700 MB THETA-E GRADIENT/RIDGE AXIS. WHILE ALL AREAS STILL HAVE
POTENTIAL FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL, LOCATIONS CLOSER TO THE OHIO
BORDER COULD HAVE THE MORE WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL CUT OFF BY THE
DRY SLOT ADVANCING INTO THIS AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON.

WHILE THE DRY SLOT MAY SHUT DOWN HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE SOUTH HALF
OF THE AREA, ITS PRESENCE RAISES THE QUESTION OF THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. IT IS STILL
UNCLEAR HOW MUCH SURFACE HEATING WILL OCCUR, SO THE STORMS MAY NOT
END UP SURFACE BASED BUT DO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO DEVELOP ORGANIZED
UPDRAFTS EVEN IF THE CONVECTION IS ELEVATED. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
COULD EXCEED 7C/KM IN THE 850 TO 500 MB LAYER AS THE COLD CORE MOVES
OVERHEAD WITH 500 MB TEMPS AROUND -20C BY 00Z THIS EVENING. COMBINE
THAT WITH WET BULB ZERO HEIGHT AROUND 9000 FEET AND THERE IS AT
LEAST SOME POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE HAIL NEAR THE OHIO BORDER, AND
POSSIBLY WIND DAMAGE DEPENDING ON HOW ROOTED THE STORMS CAN BECOME
IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER. THE DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK FOR SLIGHT RISK
RIGHT UP TO THE MICHIGAN STATE LINE LOOKS OK FOR NOW BUT COULD BE
ADJUSTED FARTHER NORTH IN LATER UPDATES.

THE WORST OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE OVER BY MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT AND FOLLOWED BY COLDER AIR IN THE STRONG WESTERLY WINDS
BEHIND THE SYSTEM. EXPECT A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT,
CHANGING TO ALL SNOW LATE, BUT WITH LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION
EXPECTED BEFORE ENDING TOWARD SUNRISE THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY.

STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN AS IT TRACKS FROM NORTHERN
INDIANA...ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN...TOWARDS THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES. THE NAM/GFS HAVE BEEN TRENDING TOWARDS EACH OTHER
REGARDING THE STRENGTH OF THE SURFACE LOW OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS.
A STRONG PRESSURE FALL/RISE COUPLET SETS UP ACROSS THE AREA
OVERNIGHT WITH A 6 HR SURFACE PRESSURE RISE OF 15MB TOWARDS THE
OHIO BORDER. THE GFS CONTINUES TO BE A LITTLE FASTER IN PULLING
THE COLD FRONT THROUGH WHILE THE NAM IS LESS COMPACT WITH THE
850MB FRONT. BOTH MODELS DEPICT AN ISALLOBARIC WIND COMPONENT
AROUND 40 KNOTS WITH THE POTENTIAL TO MIX INTO 925MB WINDS OF 45
TO 55 KNOTS. GIVEN THE TREND TOWARDS A SIMILAR SOLUTION...A BLEND
OF THE STRONGER GFS/WEAKER NAM WINDS ACTUALLY SEEMS LIKE A GOOD
COMPROMISE ON WIND SPEEDS FOR TONIGHT. CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED
ENOUGH TO INCLUDE THE FOUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES INTO A HIGH WIND
WARNING WITH GUSTS TO 60 MPH POSSIBLE...WITH A WIND ADVISORY
ISSUED FOR THE REST OF SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
PEAK DURING THE 9 PM TO 3 AM TIME FRAME.

A RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE
DURATION OF THE LONG TERM WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES DROPPING BACK TO
AROUND -7C. A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY
WITH ONGOING WEAK COLD AIR ADVECTION WITH A SURFACE TROUGH LINGERING
OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION.

WEAK RIDGING ALOFT IS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY BEFORE THE NEXT SHORTWAVE
ZIPS THROUGH THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY ON SATURDAY. MODELS SEEM TO BE
TRENDING SLIGHTLY FURTHER NORTH WITH THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM IN
RESPONSE TO ANOTHER STRONGER WAVE DIGGING INTO THE WEST COAST OF THE
UNITED STATES. THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW ACROSS INDIANA/OHIO
WOULD BRING A CHANCE FOR MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS FAR
SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN. HAVE RAISED POPS TO HIGH CHANCE IN THE
SOUTH ON SATURDAY AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR MODEL TRENDS OVER THE
NEXT FEW CYCLES.

&&

.MARINE...

A COLD FRONT HAS SETTLED OVER CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN AND CENTRAL
LAKE HURON OVERNIGHT AND IS SET TO AWAIT THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE AREA FROM MISSOURI TODAY AND REACHING THE
SOUTH END OF GEORGIAN BAY BY THURSDAY MORNING. ONCE THIS SYSTEM
MOVES INTO ONTARIO, WEST TO NORTHWEST GALES ARE EXPECTED ON THE
SOUTH HALF OF LAKE HURON DOWN TO WESTERN LAKE ERIE THROUGH THURSDAY.
THE GALES WILL BE ON THE HIGH SIDE WITH GUSTS AROUND 45 KNOTS
POSSIBLE TONIGHT ON LAKE ST CLAIR AND WESTERN LAKE ERIE DIMINISHING
TO 35 KNOTS OVER CENTRAL SECTIONS OF LAKE HURON AND LESS THAN 30
KNOTS TOWARD THE STRAITS. THIS SYSTEM WILL EXIT QUICKLY BY THURSDAY
NIGHT AND LEAVE A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE IN PLACE FOR FRIDAY.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 1158 PM EST TUE FEB 10 2009

AVIATION...

THE PERSISTENT WARM AIR ADVECTION/MOISTURE TRANSPORT SUPPORTING THE
NORTHWARD EXPANSION OF STRATUS...WITH BKN MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS NOW UP
THROUGH THE PONTIAC TERMINAL.  THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE EVENTUALLY
WORKING INTO FNT/MBS THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS.  OCCASIONAL POCKETS OF CLEARING NOTED ON SATELLITE WILL TEND
TO ALLOW FOR PATCHY MVFR FOG AT TIMES AS WELL...ESPECIALLY AT PTK
AND THE DETROIT AREA.

RAIN WILL EXPAND NORTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE MID/LATE
MORNING HOURS IN RESPONSE TO THE STRENGTHENING LARGE SCALE ASCENT
AHEAD AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.  THIS WILL KEEP CONDITIONS
FLUCTUATING WITHIN MVFR/IFR IN LOW STRATUS AND FOG DURING THIS
TIME. CANNOT RULE OUT SOME ISOLATED THUNDER INTO THE AFTERNOON...
GIVEN THE DEGREE OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY WORKING NORTH...BUT CHANCES
REMAIN TOO SLIM TO INCLUDE AT THIS POINT. PREDOMINANT 10-15 KNOT
SOUTHEAST WIND INTO WEDNESDAY...ALTHOUGH MBS WILL TEND TO CARRY MORE
OF AN EASTERLY COMPONENT. DEEPER MIXING WILL YIELD A FEW GUSTS NEAR
25 KNOTS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING AS A BRIEF MID LEVEL DRY
SLOT PUNCHES IN AS FAR NORTH AS FLINT. DEVELOPING NORTHWEST WINDS
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM WILL STRENGTHEN CONSIDERABLY BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
