AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
725 PM EDT TUE JUN 21 2011

.AVIATION...

//DISCUSSION...

A GENEROUS PATTERN OF CONVECTION IS UNDERWAY DURING THE EVENING FROM
SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN INTO NORTHWEST OHIO. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY
TO AFFECT THE TERMINAL SITES AS IT DEVELOPS TOWARD THE NORTHEAST BUT
IN MORE OF A WEAKENED STATE COMPARED TO OBSERVATIONS AT PRESS
TIME. THAT STILL MEANS A FEW BURSTS OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND STRONG
WIND GUSTS ROUGHLY DURING THE 01-04Z TIME PERIOD THIS EVENING.
AFTER THAT, ADDITIONAL SHOWER DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE DUE TO
ELEVATED/NOCTURNAL INSTABILITY BUT MOST OF THAT WILL BE TO THE
NORTH AND EAST OF THE TERMINAL SITES. THAT IS ASSUMING THE ONGOING
STORMS OVER WISCONSIN/ILLINOIS, WHICH LOOK STRONGLY DEPENDENT ON
SURFACE HEATING, WEAKEN OR DISSIPATE AFTER SUNSET.

THE WARM SECTOR OF THE UNSEASONABLY LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER
THE MIDWEST WILL COVER SE MICHIGAN LATER IN THE NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING. SOUTHERLY GRADIENT FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO PREVENT MUCH FOG FORMATION BUT ALLOW STRATUS DEVELOPMENT BY
SUNRISE. THIS IS EXPECTED TO CONSTITUTE AN MVFR CEILING UNTIL AT
LEAST LATE MORNING BEFORE MIXING OUT TO VFR DURING THE AFTERNOON.
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS THEN POSSIBLE AS
SURFACE HEATING INTENSIFIES BY MID TO LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

FOR DTW...

THE CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER NORTHWEST OHIO HAS BEEN
INCREASING IN AREAL COVERAGE ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST FOR
THIS EVENING, MAINLY BETWEEN 01Z AND 04Z. WARM SECTOR STRATUS IS A
GOOD BET TOWARD SUNRISE THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING ENSURING CEILING
BELOW 5000 FEET EVEN INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* HIGH CONFIDENCE THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT THE TERMINAL THIS
  EVENING.

* HIGH CONFIDENCE CEILING WILL FALL BELOW 5000 FEET LATE TONIGHT
  THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 335 PM EDT TUE JUN 21 2011

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT

AN OCCLUDED LOW OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL HAVE NO SHORTAGE OF
MOISTURE TO WORK WITH THIS EVENING AS NESDIS BLENDED TPW PRODUCT
SHOWS A HEALTHY FETCH OF LOW-LATITUDE MOISTURE BEING PULLED INTO THE
SYSTEM FROM THE SOUTHWEST. SATELLITE-DERIVED PWATTS OVER THE GREAT
LAKES ARE IN EXCESS OF 1.5 INCHES AND RANGE FROM 150 TO 200 PERCENT
OF NORMAL. OBSERVED DEWPOINTS THIS AFTERNOON ARE IN THE MID 70S
ACROSS SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA. MODEL PROGS SHFIT THE
PLUME OF CONTINUING H7 MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND 1.5-2.0 INCH PWATTS
EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. THE REAL QUESTION WILL BE THE
EXTENT OF FORCING OVER THE AREA TO SUPPORT SHRA/TSTM DEVELOPMENT. AT
THIS TIME...THE MOST PROMISING FOCUS FOR DEVELOPMENT IS A BAND OF
MODERATE TO STRONG SFC-700MB FGEN INDICATED BY THE GFS AND NAM. THIS
BAND WILL SET UP ALONG ALONG A NW-SE AXIS FROM SOUTHERN MN/WI
SOUTHEASTWARD INTO LOWER MICHIGAN. THE NAM IS BY FAR THE MORE
AGGRESSIVE MODEL WITH REGARDS TO BOTH THE STRENGTH AND THE EASTWARD
EXTENT OF THE LOW LEVEL FORCING BUT NEITHER SUGGEST THAT IT WILL BE
ABLE TO EXTEND VERY FAR INTO SE MICHIGAN...SO COVERAGE WILL BE
QUESTIONABLE OVER AT LEAST THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA. EVEN AFTER
THE AREA OF FRONTALLY FOCUSED SHRA/TSTM ACTIVITY LIFTS
NORTH...CHANCES FOR PRECIP WILL INCREASE AGAIN LATE TONIGHT AS THE
RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS TO THE EAST AND MORE OF THE AREA IS OPEN TO
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT THE POTENTIAL FOR EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES TO
TRIGGER ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY. SEVERE POTENTIAL IS NOT A CONCERN
EXCEPT OVER THE SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON WHERE
DAYTIME HEATING AND A MOIST AIRMASS HAS ALLOWED T/TDS TO RISE TO
AROUND 90/75 OR SO BY 18Z...WHICH SHOWS UP AS 4000+ J/KG OF CAPE IN
THE MOST RECENT LAPS ANALYSIS. MLCAPE IS MORE LIKELY IN THE
2500-3000 J/KG RANGE. THINGS REMAIN CAPPED FOR NOW...BUT A
CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY IS EVIDENT OVER EASTERN INDIANA EXTENDING
NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN MI. CONVECTION HAS INITIATED ALONG THE
SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THIS BOUNDARY AND THERE IS CONCERN THAT THE SAME
MAY BE POSSIBLE FURTHER NORTH OVER SOUTHERN MI. HOWEVER...EVEN WITH
AMPLE SFC INSTABILITY...A WEAK SYNOPTIC SCALE WIND FIELD AND
RELATIVELY WARM MID LEVELS WILL PRECLUDE ORGANIZED CONVECTION.
HOWEVER...ANYTHING THAT DEVELOPS OVER THIS REGION WILL POSE A SEVERE
THREAT...MAINLY HAIL. HOWEVER...PROGGED SOUNDINGS INDICATE A MID
LEVEL DRY LAYER THAT COULD ALSO SUPPORT A WIND THREAT AND WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR BACKED FLOW AT THE SFC THIS EVENING IT IS HARD TO RULE
OUT A TORNADIC THREAT. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE DEGREE OF MOISTURE IN
PLACE...THE MOST LIKELY HAZARD IN THE CASE OF DEVELOPMENT IS HEAVY
RAIN. THE COMBINATION OF THE DEEP MOISTURE FIELD AND ABUNDANT CLOUDS
WILL ENSURE A WARM AND HUMID EVENING WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO
LOW 70S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

ANOMALOUSLY STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY ANCHORED OVER
EASTERN NEBRASKA WILL REMAIN THE PREDOMINANT LARGE SCALE FEATURE OF
INTEREST THROUGH AT LEAST THE END OF THE WEEK AS IT ONLY SLOWLY
MIGRATES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES DURING THIS TIME.  SOUTHEAST LOWER
MI WILL HOLD WITHIN THE EASTERN FLANK OF THIS SYSTEM THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...MAINTAINING A PERSISTENT BUT SLOWLY WEAKENING WARM
CONVEYOR BELT DEFINED BY A DEEPER PLUME OF MOISTURE /AVERAGE PWAT OF
1.5"/.  THIS WILL PROVIDE A BACKGROUND THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT
SUPPORTIVE OF SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.  A FOCUSING MECHANISM
FOR LARGER SCALE ASCENT REMAINS DIFFICULT TO DEFINE THROUGH MID
AFTERNOON...WITH CONVECTIVE INITIATION LIKELY TIED TO A WEAKER MID
LEVEL FILAMENT SHEARING OFF THE MAIN LOW AND/OR REMNANT OUTFLOW FROM
EARLIER CONVECTION WORKING WITH DIURNAL HEATING.  BOUNDARY LAYER
CONVERGENCE DOES INCREASE THROUGH THE 21Z-03Z WINDOW AS THE EASTWARD
PROPAGATING LEAD TROUGH/FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLIDES THROUGH.   ENOUGH
FILTERED INSOLATION WILL EXIST BY AFTERNOON TO PUSH HIGHS INTO
80-85F RANGE...YIELDING SBCAPES OF 1200-1800 J/KG.  ANY MULTICELL
DEVELOPMENT OVERHEAD OR VIA UPSCALE GROWTH FROM THE WEST WILL CARRY
A SEVERE RISK SUPPORTED BY 30 KNOTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND
SUFFICIENTLY STEEP LAPSE RATES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS WILL RESULT FROM THE EFFECTIVE
LOWERING OF HEIGHTS AND DEEPENING MASS CONVERGENCE AS THE LOW EASES
INTO THE GREAT LAKES THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.  WHILE THE DEEPER
INSTABILITY AXIS WILL NOW RESIDE TO THE EAST...JUST ENOUGH
INSTABILITY LINGERS WITHIN THE COLUMN TO SUPPORT AN ISOLATED THUNDER
MENTION EARLY THURSDAY.  THE GENERAL TREND OF FALLING THICKNESSES IN
THE WAKE OF THE OCCLUDED FRONTAL PASSAGE COMBINED WITH CLOUDS/
SHOWERS WILL KEEP HIGHS IN THE 70S ON THURSDAY.

UPPER LOW WILL GRADUALLY OPEN UP WHILE LIFTING THROUGH THE REGION ON
FRIDAY.  FORCED ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE MAIN
VORTICITY CENTER AND WITHIN THE REMNANT CYCLONIC FLOW WILL BRING A
LOWER END CHANCE FOR SHOWER DEVELOPMENT...PERHAPS RECEIVING A BRIEF
DIURNAL BOOST GIVEN A STEEP LAPSE RATE ENVIRONMENT DURING PEAK
HEATING.  SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR WILL FUNNEL IN WITH TIME AS THE FLOW
VEERS TO WESTERLY...WITH DAYTIME READINGS STRUGGLING TO ACHIEVE
LOWER 70S.

HEIGHTS GRADUALLY BUILD INTO THE WEEKEND AS THE LONGWAVE TROUGH
SHIFTS EAST.  BACK END OF THE TROUGH/SHEAR AXIS MAY BE SLOW TO
DEPART ON SATURDAY...SUGGESTING INITIAL STAGES OF THE ASSOCIATED
THERMAL MODERATION WILL BE LIMITED.  PROSPECTS OF MORE SUN WILL
ALLOW READINGS TO INCH UP FROM FRIDAY...BUT GENERALLY HOVERING
WITHIN THE LOW-MID 70S.  MORE NOTEWORTHY WARMING TREND INTO SUNDAY
AS 850 MB TEMPERATURES CLIMB BACK INTO DOUBLE DIGITS /HIGHS BACK UP
AROUND 80F/.

MARINE...

EASTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 15-20 KTS OVERNIGHT AS A WARM FRONT
LIFTS NORTHWARD INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. IN ADDITION TO ONGOING
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER NORTHERN LAKE
HURON...ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED ALONG THE SFC FRONT THIS
EVENING. WINDS AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL DECREASE BEHIND THE
FRONT LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
