What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Detroit, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 4, 3:47 PM EDT, 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 4, 3:47 PM EDT, 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
347 PM EDT MON APR 4 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY

LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK TO THE NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT.
WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS LOW. GUSTS AS HIGH AS 25 KNOTS COULD BE
OBSERVED ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT WILL
REMAIN MAINLY RAIN CONCENTRATED IN THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN
/LENAWEE AND MONROE COUNTIES/. QPF UP TO 0.05 INCHES IS FORECASTED
FOR THESE COUNTIES BEFORE 00Z. HAVE INCLUDED A CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN OR
SNOW SHOWERS BETWEEN 00Z AND 03Z AS TEMPERATURES FALL TO AROUND
FREEZING FOR THE FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES BEFORE PRECIPITATION MOVES
OFF TO THE EAST. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO DROP THIS EVENING
WITH MINIMUM TEMPERATURES REACHING INTO THE LOW 30S IN THE METRO
DETROIT AREA AND UPPER 20S FOR THE REST OF THE CWA.

&&

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

A VERY NARROW SURFACE RIDGE AXIS WILL SQUEEZE THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN
ON TUESDAY. THE FORECAST WILL CALL FOR DRY WEATHER DESPITE SOME
SPOTTY QPF COVERAGE IN RECENT MODEL SOLUTIONS. THE CULPRIT REMAINS
STEEP LAPSE RATES BETWEEN 900-800MB. DRY AIR ADVECTION THROUGHOUT
THE DAY SHOULD BOOST MIXING HEIGHTS CLEAR ABOVE 4 KFT. THIS WILL
EVENTUALLY SHRINK CONVECTIVE DEPTHS...AND THIN OUT CLOUDS BY THE
EARLY AFTERNOON. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME SPRINKLES
DEVELOP FOR A TIME DURING THE AFTERNOON BUT COVERAGE SHOULD REMAIN
TOO LIMITED TO INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST. THE INCREASED MIXING HEIGHTS
BY AFTERNOON BRINGS A TOUGH TEMPERATURE FORECAST...BUT CONTINUED CAA
AND CLOUDS EARLY IN THE DAY SHOULD KEEP HIGHS LIMITED...TO THE LOWER
TO MIDDLE 40S.

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL RETURN TO THE
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES REGION AS THE PRECEDING RIDGE AXIS DRIFTS INTO
THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. A GOOD THETA E RIDGE AND 285K ISENTROPIC
ASCENT IS PROGGED FROM NORTH TO SOUTH DURING THIS PERIOD. MODELS
DEPICT A WEAK/DIFFUSE SURFACE REFLECTION AND THERMAL LOW BUT ENOUGH
SYNOPTIC SCALE SUPPORT...IN THE FORM OF PERIODIC CVA...TO GENERATE
PRECIPITATION. THERE IS NOT MUCH AGREEMENT WITH SPECIFICS ON
TIMING/PLACEMENT AND QUESTIONABLE SATURATION/COLUMN MOISTURE ALSO
EXISTS. NEEDLESS TO SAY...DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE MOVING OFF OF
CHANCE POPS. MODELS ARE HINTING THAT PRECIPITATION MAY FILL IN
12-18Z WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA AS A STRIPE OF FGEN PASSES
THROUGH...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS SOLUTION IS ALSO ON THE LOWER SIDE.
WET BULBING EFFECTS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A MIX OF RAIN/SNOW NORTH OF
I 69 THROUGH THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS.

AN EXTENSION OF THE SURFACE HIGH TRAVELING THROUGH CANADA WILL SLIDE
THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. THE SPRINGTIME
ANTICYCLONE ENSURES TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN A FEW DEGREES BELOW
AVERAGE...SHAVED A COUPLE OF DEGREES OFF OF THE LATEST MOS. PATTERN
RECOGNITION AND MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT A FAIRLY NOTABLE LAKE
BREEZE (FIRST OF THE YEAR) COULD WORK THROUGH THE EASTERN COUNTIES
OF LAKE HURON DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

MODEL DATA IS SUGGESTING THE SOUTHERN STREAM PACIFIC CLOSED LOW WILL
FINALLY UNRAVEL AND EJECT NORTHEASTWARD AT THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.
THIS ENERGY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN CLUMPED/CONGEALED ENOUGH TO RESULT
IN A FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL CYCLOGENESIS EVENT/HEIGHT FALLS ACROSS THE
MIDWEST BY THURSDAY NIGHT. STRONG FRONTALLY DYNAMICS AND ISENTROPIC
ASCENT WILL SPREAD NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN BY THURSDAY
NIGHT. LATEST GFS IS QUICKER...DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY...BUT
GIVEN THESE ORGANIZED SYSTEMS THIS FAR OUT PREFER TO YIELD A SLOWER
FORECAST. THERMAL PROGS...SUGGEST ALL RAIN...BUT GIVEN RECENT
HISTORY AM SUSPICIOUS THAT A FEW WET SNOWFLAKES WILL NOT MIX IN AT
THE START. REALLY SUPPORT A DAMPENED TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR
THURSDAY GIVEN INBOUND CLOUDS AND THREAT OF PRECIPITATION DEVELOPING
LATE. GEOPOTENTIAL HEIGHTS ARE PROGGED TO BALLOON OVER THE EASTERN
CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES AS FULL LATITUDE TROUGH DEEPENS UPSTREAM
ACROSS THE WEST COAST. THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND WILL
REMAIN IN FLUX...BUT ATTM 60S APPEAR REACHABLE SOUTH OF I 69.

&&

.MARINE...

NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN THROUGH TONIGHT BEHIND A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. THIS WILL BRING GUSTS TO GALE FORCE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY
ACROSS MUCH OF LAKE HURON. WINDS WILL DIMINISH ON TUESDAY NIGHT AS A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS NORTH INTO THE REGION. A WEAK LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING THE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION ON
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. A MORE RELAXED PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
LEAD TO MORE FAVORABLE MARINE CONDITIONS FOR MIDWEEK BEFORE THE NEXT
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ARRIVES LATE THIS WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 107 PM EDT MON APR 4 2011

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO PASS THROUGH SOUTHEAST
MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ALLOW GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS...REACHING UP TO 25 KNOTS AT TIMES...TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. A FEW LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO TRACK EASTWARD. CONFIDENCE IS
HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE RAIN SHOWERS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING AT ALL SITES...HOWEVER DTW AND DET HAVE THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL TO SEE SOME LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS. CEILINGS WILL REMAIN
MAINLY IN THE MVFR CATEGORY FOR ALL SITES BEFORE LIFTING BACK INTO
THE VFR CATEGORY ON TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
SOUTH.
