AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
353 PM EDT SAT JUL 23 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT

MID/UPPER LEVEL CLOUD DEBRIS FROM EARLY MORNING MCS(S) OVER AND WEST
OF THE AREA HAS LED TO RELATIVELY STABLE CONDITIONS OVER MUCH OF THE
CWA...SO LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN LIMITED IN
SCOPE OVER MUCH OF THE AREA...ESPECIALLY GIVEN LACK OF ANY NOTABLE
LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. WILL LOWER THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS TO 30
PERCENT FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.

WILL MAINTAIN 50% POPS FOR THE SAGINAW VALLEY AS ACTIVITY OVER
NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...WHICH REMAINED NORTH OF MUCH OF CLOUD
COVER TODAY...SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND SHIFT GRADUALLY INTO
THE REGION. WILL ALSO MAINTAIN 50% POPS OVER THE FAR SOUTHERN CWA
WHERE SUNSHINE HAS BEEN MORE PREVALENT SINCE MIDDAY AND SOME LOW
LEVEL DESTABILIZATION HAS ENSUED. CUMULUS FIELD IS BEGINNING TO
EXPAND ATTM SOUTH OF I 94...SO EXPECT AT LEAST SCATTERED ACTIVITY TO
DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND PERSIST INTO THE EVENING.

THERE WILL BE A LINGERING CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT...BUT
COVERAGE WILL BE MINIMAL. WILL LIMIT POPS TO 30% OR LESS AND CONFINE
TO AREAS GENERALLY SOUTH AND WEST OF THE THUMB AND SAGINAW VALLEY.
DO NOT PLAN ON ANY MAJOR CHANGES TO THE OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES
WITH JUST A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT A DEGREE OR SO LOWER.

&&

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY

MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH AN UPPER WAVE MOVING ACROSS
ONTARIO SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH AN ASSOCIATED AREA OF SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE TRACKING ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN. THIS WILL AGAIN PROVIDE
A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...AND KEEP WARM AND HUMID
CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA AS SOUTHWEST FLOW INCREASES AHEAD OF THE
SYSTEM. FORECAST HIGHS AROUND 90 WITH DEWPOINTS AGAIN IN THE 70S
WILL CREATE HEAT INDICES IN THE LOW TO MID 90S. THESE TEMPS COULD
NEED LAST MINUTE ADJUSTING HOWEVER DEPENDING ON UPSTREAM/OVERHEAD
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT AND EARLY TOMORROW. THUNDERSTORM
TIMING AND SEVERITY IS STILL UNCERTAIN...BUT FORECAST SET-UP DOES
FAVOR HIGH CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE AREA FOR TOMORROW/TOMORROW EVENING
AS THERE ARE A FEW SOURCES OF LIFT AVAILABLE TO WORK WITH A VERY
MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. NAM/GFS FIRST BOTH TRACK A
CONVECTIVELY INDUCED UPPER WAVE ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN TOMORROW
AFTERNOON. THIS SCENARIO IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AS MODELS
ORIGINATE THIS FEATURE OVER SOUTHERN MINNESOTA TONIGHT...WHERE WE
COULD SEE CONVECTION FLARE LATE. BEST SYNOPTIC LIFT THEN LOOKS TO
OCCUR DURING THE VERY LATE PART OF THE AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE
EVENING...AHEAD OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT. WHAT MAY BE
PROBLEMATIC...AND WHAT LIMITS POPS TO ONLY HIGH CHANCE RIGHT
NOW...FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS THE LAYER OF WARM AIR MODELS
KEEP IN PLACE AT THE MID LEVELS. NOT SURE THIS LAYER WILL SHALLOW
ENOUGH FOR LIFT ALONG THE FRONT/POSSIBLE MCV TO BE ABLE TO PUNCH
THROUGH. LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES SHOULD BE QUITE STEEP BY AFTERNOON IF
WE DO ACHIEVE FORECAST HIGH TEMPS...PROVIDING AN EXTRA BOOST OF
ASCENT DOWN BELOW THE MORE STABLE LAYER FOR EITHER THE FRONT OR AN
MCV TO WORK WITH. GFS ALLOWS ML CAPE VALUES TO BUILD TO BETWEEN 2000
AND 3000 J/KG OVER MOST OF THE AREA (ACHIEVED IF WE DO MIX OUT THE
WARM LAYER)...SO THERE REMAINS SOME CONCERN FOR SEVERE WEATHER.
UPDRAFTS COULD BECOME STRONG...BUT WEAK SHEAR (STRONGER LOW/MID
LEVEL WIND FIELD REMAINS TO OUR NORTH) WOULD LIMIT STORM
ORGANIZATION AND BE MORE FAVORABLE FOR PULSE STORMS. BIGGEST CONCERN
FOR ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WITH PW
VALUES EXCEEDING 2 INCHES AND STORM MOTION AT AROUND 10-15 MPH SOUTH
CWA AND ONLY AT 20 MPH NORTH CWA.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA ON MONDAY AND HOLD
INTO TUESDAY...AS PERIPHERY OF UPPER RIDGE AND TRACK OF WEAK UPPER
WAVES REMAINS OVER CANADA. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LOWER HUMIDITY
SHOULD FOLLOW THE FRONT...WITH MOST AREAS ONLY SEEING HIGHS IN THE
MID 80S MONDAY/TUESDAY.

SHIFT TO MORE ZONAL FLOW WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY COULD YIELD A
RETURN TO A MORE STORMY PATTERN AS UPPER WAVES PASSING OVERHEAD AND
TO OUR NORTH COULD BRING ROUNDS OF SHOWERS/TSTORMS. BEST POTENTIAL
FOR THIS TO OCCUR IS NORTH OF I-69 WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AS
LOW PRESSURE TRACKS ACROSS ONTARIO AND A COLD FRONT SAGS DOWN INTO
MICHIGAN. RUNS OF THE GFS AND EURO HAVE OCCASIONALLY BROUGHT THIS
FRONT AS FAR SOUTH AS SOUTHERN MICHIGAN...BEFORE DROPPING IT
THROUGH ALL OF MICHIGAN ON FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT. OTHER RUNS HAVE
KEPT THE FRONT NORTH OF US UNTIL FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT. HEAT AND
HUMIDITY ALSO LOOK TO RAMP BACK UP DURING THE MIDDLE TO END OF THE
WEAK...WITH HEAT INDICES NOW FORECAST TO CLIMB BACK INTO THE MID
TO EVEN UPPER 90S.

&&

.MARINE...

EAST TO NORTHEAST FLOW IN BEHIND WEAK BACKDOOR FRONT WILL BRING AN
INCREASE IN WAVE ACTION LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY...APPROACHING SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERION NEAR THE TIP OF THE THUMB. WILL FORGO ANY
HEADLINES ATTM AS CONDITIONS WILL BE MARGINAL AND RATHER SHORT-LIVED
FROM THE PREDAWN HOURS TO MIDDAY SUNDAY. A STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL
THEN BRING AN INCREASED NORTHWEST FLOW LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND BRING
THE CONDITIONS THAT WILL APPROACH SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA ONCE AGAIN.
WITH THESE FRONT(S)...THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS INTO
SUNDAY NIGHT. WEATHER WILL THEN TRANSITION TO A RELATIVELY TRANQUIL
PERIOD BEFORE THE NEXT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS ON THURSDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 103 PM EDT SAT JUL 23 2011

//DISCUSSION...

COVERAGE OF CONVECTION SHOULD BE RATHER LIMITED THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING...ESPECIALLY FROM PTK NORTH THROUGH FNT/MBS WHERE
DEBRIS FROM EARLY MORNING MCS HAS LIMITED DAYTIME HEATING AND THUS
INSTABILITY. EVEN FURTHER SOUTH AT DTW/DET...WHERE INSTABILITY HAS
HAD A CHANCE TO RECOVER...LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL BE LIMITED AS
BETTER FORCING REMAINS WELL OFF TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE REGION. WILL
MAINTAIN A SEVERAL HOUR TEMPO GROUP FROM PTK SOUTH TO ACCOUNT FOR
THE POSSIBILITY OF SCATTERED ACTIVITY DURING PEAK HEATING LATE TODAY.
A WEAK BACKDOOR FRONT WILL THEN BRING LIGHT NORTHEAST WINDS WHICH
WILL BECOME ESSENTIALLY CALM TONIGHT. EXPECT AREAS OF FOG AS LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN RATHER ABUNDANT...SO WILL INCLUDE 3-4SM
BR LATE TONIGHT. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS COMES ON
SUNDAY AS WEAK SHORTWAVE IMPULSE PROGRESSES INTO THE AREA.

FOR DTW...OTHER THAN AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OR TWO LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING...CIGS WILL REMAIN ABOVE 5000 FEET.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* LOW CONFIDENCE OF THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

* MEDIUM CONFIDENCE OF THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AGAIN ON SUNDAY WITH
CEILINGS AT OR BELOW 5000 FEET. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON THE
TIMING OF THIS ACTIVITY.
