AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
1155 PM EDT MON JUN 21 2010

LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION AND SHORT TERM...

.SYNOPSIS...(335 PM EDT MON JUN 21 2010)
AN ACTIVE WEEK IS EXPECTED AS WE WILL HAVE SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. GIVEN THE HUMID AIRMASS IN PLACE...HEAVY
RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOODING ARE POSSIBILITIES DURING THE FIRST HALF
OF THE WEEK. SEVERE WEATHER IS ALSO POSSIBLE THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(1155 PM EDT MON JUN 21 2010)
(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
THE LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL ONTO THE LAKE SHORE AREA OF
SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN BY 1230 AM THIS TUESDAY MORNING. THE RUC
SHOWS THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENING BETWEEN 2 AM AND 5 AM WITH THE
AREA BETWEEN I-94 AND I-96. RUC SOUNDINGS SHOW UP TO 1800 J/KG OF
CAPE WITH CIN UNDER 20 J/KG AS THE STORM MOVE THROUGH. STORMS SHOULD
MOVE EAST AROUND 35 MPH AND EXIT THE LANSING AREA BY 4 OR 5 AM.
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CAPE BETWEEN THE -10 AND -30
ISOTHERM SO THERE IS THE THREAT OF HAIL. SINCE THE STORMS ARE
ELEVATED... RUC SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THE LOW LEVEL INVERSION IS 50 MB
OFF THE GROUND WIND WILL BE LESS OF AN ISSUE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...MODELS LOOK TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON
NOCTURNAL CONVECTION EXITING THE REGION TUESDAY MORNING... AND DRY
WEATHER PREVAILING THE REST OF THE DAY. HAVE THEREFORE LOWERED POPS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

LOW LEVEL JET/MOISTURE TRANSPORT PROGS SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR
BACKBUILDING/TRAINING OF NOCTURNAL CONVECTION ON TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING OR EVEN INTO WEDNESDAY AFTN. IF THINGS DO NOT
COME TOGETHER LATER TONIGHT... THIS WILL BE THE NEXT BEST WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY FOR FLOODING/FLASH FLOODING AS WELL AS SEVERE WEATHER
POTENTIAL.

&&

.LONG TERM...(335 PM EDT MON JUN 21 2010)
(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY RESULTING IN DRY
AND PLEASANT WX. SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SFC
RIDGE WILL PRODUCE WARMER AND MORE HUMID WX BY FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY. WE HAVE INTRODUCED MENTION OF A SMALL CHANCE FOR TSTORMS
BY SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT DUE TO POTENTIAL FOR AN INCREASINGLY
UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A NEARLY STATIONARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE AREA.

THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS IN THE FCST ON SUNDAY WITH THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM STILL IN OUR AREA. DRY WX WILL RETURN BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS IN.

&&

.AVIATION...(1155 PM EDT MON JUN 21 2010)
THE STORMS ARE NOW MOVING ON SHORE INTO WESTERN LOWER MICHIGAN. AS
EXPECTED THE LOW LEVEL JET IS STILL EXPECTED TO STRENGTHENING
OVERNIGHT. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL CROSS THE WESTERN TAF SITES BY
2 AM AND THE EASTERN ONES BY 4 AM.  I STILL EXPECT SOME MVFR CIGS
AROUND SUNRISE BEFORE THE DRIER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE SYSTEM AND
CLEARS THE SKIES. THERE IS ENOUGH MIDLEVEL SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE
SHORTWAVE TO HAVE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES MOST OF TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...(335 PM EDT MON JUN 21 2010)
OTHER THAN THUNDERSTORMS AND ASSOCIATED HAZARDS...SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES FOR SYNOPTIC WINDS NOT NEEDED ATTM. HOWEVER WE WILL HAVE
TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE LOW LEVEL JET EVOLUTION/BEHAVIOR...
WHICH COULD KICK THINGS UP ON THE LAKE LATE TONIGHT AND MORE LIKELY
TUESDAY NIGHT.

IF A STRONG MCS/LARGE BOW ECHO WERE TO ROLL ACROSS THE LAKE... THEN
SEICHE COULD BE A CONCERN. ALSO A VERY REMOTE POSSIBILITY IS WAKE
LOW FORMATION BEHIND THE DEPARTING MCS...WHICH ARE NOT ALL THAT
UNCOMMON THIS TIME OF YEAR. THAT COULD CREATE ODD/STRONG WIND
CHARACTERISTICS EVEN AFTER TSTMS EXIT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(335 PM EDT MON JUN 21 2010)
LOCALIZED FLOODING REMAINS A CONCERN THIS WEEK AS SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE. PRECIPTABLE WATER VALUES
OVER 2 INCHES MEANS THAT ANY OF THE STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN. GIVEN THE RECENT RAINS...SOME
STREAMS ARE ALREADY RUNNING HIGH AND ADDITIONAL RAIN MAY LEAD TO
FLOODING.

STILL NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH ATTM TO POST ANY FLOOD WATCHES FOR
TONIGHT. IT IS POSSIBLE IF ACTIVITY CONGEALS TO OUR SOUTH THIS
EVENING THAT THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL BE INTERCEPTED AND NOT GET UP
HERE. AFTER TONIGHT... TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WILL HAVE TO BE
MONITORED FOR A WATCH AS WELL.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI....NONE.
