AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
135 AM EDT THU JUL 28 2011

LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...(950 PM EDT WED JUL 27 2011)
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WITH
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING POSSIBLE. BEGINNING FRIDAY AND
CONTINUING THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...WARMER AND DRIER WEATHER WILL
RETURN TO THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(950 PM EDT WED JUL 27 2011)
(TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
WE HAVE UPDATED THE FCST THIS EVENING TO ADD IN THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH HEADLINES...AND TO INCREASE THE POPS TO 100 PCT FOR THE SRN
TWO THIRDS OF THE CWFA.

CONTINUOUS INFLUX OF HIGH THETA E AIR HAS LED TO SHOWERS AND STORMS
CONTINUING ACROSS THE CWFA THIS EVENING...EVEN BETWEEN THE INITIAL
MCS THAT ROLLED THROUGH HERE EARLIER TODAY AND THE MAIN ACTIVITY
THAT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE IN ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. PWATS
OF 2-2.5 ARE ADVECTING IN ON A 250-30 KNOT LLJ THAT IS MOVING
OVER A FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT LOOKS TO BE JUST SOUTH OF THE MI/IN
BORDER AS OF 01Z THIS EVENING. THIS SECTION OF THE LLJ WILL
TRANSLATE TO THE EAST THIS EVENING.

THE RUC IS SHOWING THE STRONGEST CORE OF THE LLJ THEN ACROSS SE IA
AND NW IL...AIMED RIGHT AT THE CONVECTION ACROSS THE IA/WI/IL
BORDER. THE RUC TRANSLATES THIS LLJ TO THE ENE OVERNIGHT...RIGHT
INTO THE SRN PORTION OF OUR CWFA. IF THIS DOES INDEED OCCUR...WE
COULD BE LOOKING AT SOME VERY EFFICIENT RAINFALL TRAINING OVER THE
SAME AREAS FOR A FEW HOURS. THE CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS GROWING
QUICKLY...AND IT IS LOOKING LIKE WE WILL SEE SOME FLOODING OCCUR
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ROUGHLY I-96 TO THE MI/IN BORDER. THIS WAS THE
REASON FOR THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH /SEE MORE DETAILS IN THE HYDRO
SECTION BELOW/ AND WARNINGS ARE LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKELY WHEN
THE AXIS SETS UP OVERNIGHT.

SEVERE THREAT IN OUR AREA IS NOT ZERO WITH A WARM FRONT TO OUR SOUTH
AND SOME GOOD LOW LEVEL SHEAR IN PLACE. INSTABILITY IS ON THE
RELATIVELY LOW SIDE....AND JUST REMAINS MARGINAL THROUGH THE NIGHT.
IT REALLY DOES APPEAR THAT HYDROLOGY IS GOING TO BE THE BIG ISSUE
TONIGHT. THE LLJ WILL THEN ALL SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA BY 18Z
THU...EFFECTIVELY ENDING THE HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT FOR THE AREA.

FRIDAY SHOULD BE ON THE QUIET SIDE WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING BACK
INTO THE UPPER 80S FOR MUCH OF THE REGION WITH DECREASING CLOUDS.

&&

.LONG TERM...(340 PM EDT WED JUL 27 2011)
(SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)

ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE NRN STATES WILL BEGIN TO BUCKLE OVER NEW
ENGLAND BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. CHANCES FOR RAIN DURING THE PERIOD ARE
NOT HIGH AS WE/LL GENERALLY BE CONTROLLED BY THE RIDGE TO THE WEST.
AS THE FLOW BECOMES NWLY OVER THE GREAT LAKES LATE SUNDAY...A WEAK
SHORT WAVE IS PROGD TO MOVE SOUTHEAST OVER THE CWA SUNDAY NIGHT. THE
WEAK COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH IT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE CWA BY
MONDAY MORNING. WE/LL CONTINUE WITH THE SLIGHT CHANCE POP. THERE
ISN/T MUCH MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM BUT THERE IS SOME INSTABILITY.
HOWEVER...THE INSTABILITY WILL BE MITIGATED SOMEWHAT BY THE NIGHT
TIME ARRIVAL OF THE FRONT.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY LOOKS DRY AND THEN ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH IN THE NW FLOW TUESDAY NIGHT. MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS ARE
A BIT LARGER WITH THIS SYSTEM SO WE SHOULD SEE A HIGHER CHANCE OF
RAIN. TIMING IS STILL IN QUESTION. THE ECMWF 12 HOURS OR SO QUICKER
WITH THE FRONT THAN THE GFS IS. FOR NOW WE/LL KEEP THE POPS CONFINED
TO TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION...(135 AM EDT THU JUL 28 2011)
LITTLE QUESTION THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO TRAIN OVER THE
TAF SITES THROUGH 12Z THIS MORNING AS THE LOW LEVEL JET REMAINS
AIMED AT SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN THROUGH ABOUT 12Z. JUST HOW LOW
THE CEILING AND VSBY GET THIS MORNING IS THE OTHER QUESTION WE HAVE
TO ANSWER.

AT 05Z THE CEILINGS AND VSBY WERE LARGELY VFR AT ALL TAF SITES THAT
DID NOT HAVE THUNDERSTORMS ON GOING. HOWEVER CEILING WERE IN THE IFR
TO MVFR RANGE JUST NORTH OF THE STORM AREA (NEAR AND NORTH OF ROUTE
20). I EXPECT THIS AREA OF LOWER CEILINGS TO SLOWLY SINK SOUTH OVER
TIME THROUGH THE MID MORNING HOURS. THE LOW LEVEL JET CORE IS
EXPECTED TO SLIP SOUTH TOWARD MORNING AND WEAKEN. THAT SHOULD END
THE CONVECTION AND ALLOW THE CEILINGS TO LOWER.

THE WARM FRONT PUSHING THROUGH SHOULD MIX THE CLOUDS OUT BY EARLY
AFTERNOON ONLY TO BRING MORE THUNDERSTORMS BACK INTO THE PICTURE BY
01Z-03Z AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA.

&&

.MARINE...(340 PM EDT WED JUL 27 2011)
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO POSE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS FOR MARINERS
TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. HEAVY RAINFALL...FREQUENT DANGEROUS
LIGHTNING AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS OVER 30KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH
ANY STORM THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(950 PM EDT WED JUL 27 2011)
WE HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE SRN TWO THIRDS OF THE
CWFA/HSA THROUGH 18Z THU. STORMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CWFA...ESPECIALLY
ALONG I-96. THESE STORMS HAVE BEEN EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS WITH
RAINFALL RATES APPROACHING 2 INCHES PER HOUR WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS. PWATS OFF OF THE 00Z DTX SOUNDING ARE ABOVE 2.00 INCHES
ALREADY WITH DVN SOUNDING SHOWING 2.36 INCHES AT 00Z. THE COLUMN IS
NEARLY SATURATED WITH LOW LCL/S AND HIGH FREEZING LEVELS LEADING TO
THE VERY EFFICIENT RAINFALL. THIS COMBINED WITH THE LLJ EXPECTED TO
NOSE IN HERE THROUGH THE NIGHT WILL LIKELY PRODUCE SOME VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL WHERE THE TRAINING OF STORMS SETS UP. THE BEST CHC OF HEAVY
RAIN WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-96.
