AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
1113 AM EDT MON JUL 11 2011

.UPDATE...
CONVECTION IS ONGOING THIS MORNING IN TWO MAIN CLUSTERS OVER
SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN FOLLOWED BY A THIRD MORE SIGNIFICANT
DERECHEO-TYPE COMPLEX CURRENTLY OVER LAKE MICHIGAN AFTER CAUSING
NUMEROUS WIND DAMAGE REPORTS IN THE CHICAGO AREA. THERE REMAINS A
FAIR DEGREE  OF UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARDS TO CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION
OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY...ALTHOUGH IT HAS BECOME MORE EVIDENT
WITH TIME THAT THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE POSED BY THE
AFOREMENTIONED LINE OVER LAKE MICHIGAN...MAINLY SOUTH OF I-69. THIS
MORNING'S CONVECTION HAS RAPIDLY DIMINISHED IN INTENSITY NORTH OF
THE I-69 CORRIDOR AS IT HAS ENCOUNTERED CONSIDERABLE CAPPING TO THE
TUNE OF 300+ J/KG MLCIN PER THE 12Z KTX SOUNDING. THE SEVERE
POTENTIAL FOR THE TRI-CITIES EASTWARD INTO THE THUMB WILL BE LIMITED
WITH STRATIFORM REGION PRECIPITATION CONTINUING TO OVERSPREAD THE
AREA THIS MORNING IN THE WAKE OF THE WEAKENING CONVECTIVE LINE
WARRANTING A CANCELLATION OF THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR
MIDLAND...BAY...AND HURON COUNTIES.

THE GREATER POTENTIAL WILL EXIST TO THE SOUTH OF I-69 IN ASSOCIATION
WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED LINE CURRENTLY TREKING ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN.
THIS FAST MOVING COMPLEX WILL LIKELY RACE THROUGH THE AREA BETWEEN
AROUND 11PM AND 3PM LOCAL TIME. PROGGED MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE A
DEEP SOUTHWESTERLY-WESTERLY WINDFIELD CHARACTERIZED BY 30-40 KTS OF
BULK SHEAR WHICH...WHEN CONSIDERED WITH UPSTREAM RADAR TRENDS...WILL
CONTINUE TO FAVOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION INTO THE AFTERNOON. THE
BIGGEST QUESTION REGARDING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE SEVERE THREAT THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BE THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY THAT CAN (RE)DEVELOP
GIVEN ONGOING SCATTERED CONVECTION FROM I-96 AND SOUTHWARD. DESPITE
A DEWPOINT SURGE INTO THE LOW 70S...CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP HAVE
KNOCKED TEMPERATURES DOWN INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S FOR MANY AREAS.
ASSUMING THE BOUNDARY LAYER CAN RECOVER...MOST LIKELY SOUTH OF
I-94...AN 800MB DRY LAYER...INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE BL...AND A
WLY-SWLY WIND PROFILE WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR A LINEAR CONVECTIVE
MODE WHILE A HEALTHY BAND OF ENHANCED 50KT MID LEVEL FLOW FEEDING
INTO THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM MAY AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SYNOPTICALLY ENHANCED REAR INFLOW JETS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING
WINDS IN EXCESS OF 70MPH. GIVEN THE DEGREE OF WIND SHEAR IN
PLACE...ESPECIALLY FURTHER SOUTH INVOF A 35KT 850MB LLJ...ISOLATED
LARGE HAIL WITH SOME OF THE MORE VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE. OVERALL...ANY TORNADIC THREAT WILL BE QUITE MINIMAL...
ALTHOUGH IT CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT NEAR THE APEX OF THE
BOW...OR INVOF OUTFLOW FROM THIS MORNINGS CONVECTION.
FINALLY...NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR THESE
STORMS TO REMAIN PROLIFIC LIGHTNING PRODUCERS AS THEY ENTER THE
CWA WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. REGARDLESS OF THIS SYSTEM'S
EVENTUAL EVOLUTION...THINGS WILL QUIET DOWN BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AS CONVECTION QUICKLY RACES EASTWARD OUT OF THE AREA WITH ONLY
LINGERING STRATIFORM ACTIVITY EXPECTED THIS EVENING INTO BEGINNING
OF THE TONIGHT PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 656 AM EDT MON JUL 11 2011

//DISCUSSION...

CONVECTIVE SYSTEM THAT CROSSED WISCONSIN OVERNIGHT AND HAS NOT
WEAKENED AND IS NOW PROGRESSING THROUGH LAKE MICHIGAN. WILL BRING
THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FORWARD IN THE FORECAST GIVEN TRENDS
EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH TEMPO GROUPS FOR ALL SITES BEGINNING
AROUND 16Z FOR MBS TO 18Z-19Z DTW/DET. VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN IN
THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WITH THE
ACTUAL COLD FRONT THEN SHIFTING INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT WITH A WIND
SHIFT FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHWEST WITH TIME.

FOR DTW...INCREASING DAYTIME INSTABILITY SHOULD ALLOW ONGOING STORMS
TO THE WEST TO SPREAD INTO THE AREA BY 18Z-19Z WITH THE PERIOD OF
BEST STORM CHANCES ONLY ENCOMPASSING 3 OR 4 HOURS.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR THE OCCURRENCE OF THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE
  AFTERNOON.

* MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN AT LEAST TEMPORARY CEILINGS AT OR BELOW 5000
  FEET WITH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 324 AM EDT MON JUL 11 2011

DISCUSSION...

HOT AND HUMID TODAY.

MOIST TROPICAL AIRMASS IN PLACE ACROSS THE MIDWEST
(IOWA/MISSOURI)/WESTERN OHIO VALLEY...AS SURFACE DEW PTS ARE
HOVERING IN THE MID 70S TO AROUND 80 DEGREES...WITH 850 MB DEW PTS
OF 20 C NOTED ON THE KDVN/KILX 00Z SOUNDINGS. PW VALUES IN EXCESS OF
2 INCHES...RUNNING 150 TO 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL. THE GOOD NEWS IS IT
APPEARS WE ARE ONLY GONG TO RECEIVE A GLANCING BLOW FROM THE EXTREME
HEAT (STL HIT 97 DEGREES YESTERDAY)...AS COMPLEX OVER SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA IS PROPAGATING TO THE SOUTHEAST AND SHOULD HELP DISRUPT
THE MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO LOWER MICHIGAN...ALONG WITH PROVIDING
SOME CONVECTIVE DEBRIS AT THE VERY LEAST. IN ADDITION...MAX
INSTABILITY/850 THETA-E RIDGE AXIS LOOKS TO BECOME POSITIONED MORE
WEST TO EAST AS THE DAY GOES ON...AND WILL BE STRETCHED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY...CALLING INTO QUESTION HOW MUCH RAIN WE WILL
SEE AS THE SURFACE COLD FRONT IS RATHER DIFFUSE AND PREFRONTAL
TROUGH/MOISTURE AXIS TO OUR SOUTH MAY BE THE BETTER FOCUS. EVEN
SO...STILL THINK THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS WITH 0-6
KM BULK SHEAR OF AROUND 40 KNOTS ADVERTISED WITH 0-2 KM CAPE UP TO
1500 J/KG (PER GFS). WITH 850 MB TEMPS NOW FORECASTED TO BE
MOSTLY IN THE 20 TO 22 C RANGE (PER 00Z UKMET)...EXPECTING MAXES
TO HOLD PREDOMINATELY IN THE LOWER 90S...WHICH COUPLED WITH DEW
PTS IN THE LOWER 70S WILL PUSH HEAT INDICES TOWARD 100
DEGREES...BUT WANTED TO HOLD OFF ON HEAT ADVISORY AS NO SURE WE
WILL SEE 3 HRS OR MORE...COUPLED WITH CLOUD COVER AND COOLING
SHOWER CONCERNS.

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER CENTRAL CANADA WILL BE OUR DOMINATE
WEATHER INFLUENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...AS IT DIGS SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION EARLY WEDNESDAY AND INTO NEW ENGLAND
BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ONCE OUR CHANCE OF RAIN GOES BY WAYSIDE TODAY
AND TONIGHT...WE ARE LOOKING AT ANOTHER STRETCH OF DRY WEATHER AS
LARGE CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH TAKES CONTROL. AT LEAST THE HEAT AND
HUMIDITY WILL BE GONE...WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES PROBABLY COMING UP
SHORT OF 80 DEGREES ON WEDNESDAY WITH SUBSTANTIAL COLD ADVECTION...850
MB TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE HIGH SINGLE NUMBERS TO AROUND 10 C. A
GRADUAL WARMUP WILL THEN COMMENCE AS WE GET INTO THE RETURN FLOW.

MARINE...
LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PERSIST TODAY AHEAD OF A WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...WHICH WILL BRING A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS.  WINDS WILL
VEER TO NORTHWEST BEHIND THIS FRONT TONIGHT. A STRONGER COLD FRONT
WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE REGION LATE TUESDAY.  THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL
INCREASE APPRECIABLY BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH GUSTS APPROACHING 25
KNOTS. WINDS WILL SETTLE BACK DOWN WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
INTO THE REGION.
