AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
140 PM EDT TUE APR 26 2011

LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...(1155 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2011)
AN ACTIVE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE. A THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS
EVENING WILL GIVE WAY TO A PROLONGED PERIOD OF RAIN TONIGHT THOUGH
THURSDAY. HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY...WHICH MAY LEAD TO RIVER
FLOODING BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD
TODAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 60S...BUT THEN IT WILL
COOL OFF BY THURSDAY WITH HIGHS ONLY FROM 45 TO 50. THE EARLY PART
OF THIS COMING WEEKEND LOOKS DRY WITH INCREASING RAIN CHANCES
BEGINNING SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(1155 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2011)
(THIS AFTERNOON)
THE SEVERE THREAT APPEARS TO BE REDUCED...BUT NOT ELIMINATED...FOR
OUR AREA. THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT ALSO APPEARS TO BE DECREASING.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS INTENSE PV MAX BEGINNING TO OVERSPREAD SW
LOWER MI. SHOWERS HAVE BEGUN TO FORM OVER NRN IN BENEATH THE BEST
UPPER POTENTIAL VORT ADVECTION. UPSTREAM SOUNDINGS SHOW UNIMPRESSIVE
LAPSE RATES BENEATH THE DRY SLOT...OWING TO A FAIRLY DEEP SATURATED
LAYER BELOW 500 MB. SURFACE DEWPOINTS UPSTREAM IN THE MID 50S
SUGGEST FAIRLY HIGH LCL HEIGHT THIS AFTERNOON. LOW LEVEL SHEAR IS
LACKING...BUT SUFFICIENT EFFECTIVE SHEAR THROUGH A DEEPER LAYER /40
KT/ COULD BE REALIZED. THIS ALL SUGGESTS THAT OUR PRIMARY THREAT
THIS AFTERNOON WOULD BE HAIL WITH DISCRETE STORMS. THE BIG QUESTION
MARK IS HOW MUCH CLEARING AND INSOLATION WE WILL SEE THIS AFTERNOON.
WE STILL BELIEVE THE BEST THREAT WILL BE IN THE 4 PM TO 8 PM
TIMEFRAME.

THERE IS A DECREASING HEAVY RAIN THREAT...OWING TO STRONG
UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW...LITTLE IF ANY EXPECTED LOW-LEVEL MOIST FLUX
CONVERGENCE AND DECREASING PWAT VALUES. AS NOTED IN THE PREVIOUS
DISCUSSION...THERE IS A BETTER THREAT FARTHER NORTH OF I-96...BUT
ANTECEDENT RAINS THERE THIS MORNING HAVE BEEN LIMITED.

(TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
TONIGHT THERE SHOULD BE A LULL IN THE STEADY RAINS AS WE FALL UNDER
THE DRY SLOT AND THE LIFT WEAKENS BEHIND THE DEPARTING VORT MAX.
SOME STEADIER RAINS WILL APPROACH AGAIN TOWARD DAYBREAK IN THE SOUTH
WITH THE APPROACH OF A SECONDARY LOW AND LOW LEVEL JET.  WEDNESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT LOOKS QUITE WET ACROSS MOST AREAS...WITH THE
HEAVIEST RAINS IN THE SE CWA.

FEEL WE STILL HAVE TIME TO CONTINUE TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION...
GIVEN THAT THE HEAVIEST RAIN DOES NOT COME IN UNTIL WEDNESDAY
MORNING.  WE WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW THE RAINS FALL TODAY...THEN SEE IF
THE MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH BRINGING 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN OVER
THE SE CWA FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

MAIN FORECAST ADJUSTMENTS WHERE TO INCREASE POPS FOR THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA AS THE RAINS SHOULD CONTINUE MUCH OF THE DAY
THERE.  THEN FOR TONIGHT ADJUSTED THE TIMING OF THE RAIN ACROSS THE
CWA.  THE RAIN SHOULD CONTINUE IN THE NORTH THROUGH THE
EVENING...THEN MOVE OUT.  THEN ANOTHER SURGE OF RAIN WILL APPROACH
THE SOUTH LATE TONIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM...(446 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2011)
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
UPPER LOW OF THE SHORT TERM WILL BE SLOWLY SLIDING EAST OF THE AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT TO BEGIN THE LONG TERM. UPPER RIDGING GRADUALLY
BUILDS INTO THE REGION FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. MAINTAINED THE
CHANCE FOR RAIN SHOWERS THURSDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY DRY WEATHER
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIDGE.

SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY THE MODELS INDICATE AN UPPER LOW SHIFTING FROM
THE NORTHERN PLAINS TOWARD THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES. THE EUROPEAN IS
SLOWER AND LESS WRAPPED UP AND WILL USE ITS SOLUTION. A FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW PUSHES INTO WESTERN LOWER MICHIGAN
SATURDAY NIGHT. HAVE SHOWERS BEGINNING SATURDAY AFTERNOON...WITH A
BETTER CHANCE OF BOTH SHOWERS AND STORMS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY. USING THE SLOWER EUROPEAN HAVE LINGERED SOME SHOWERS INTO
MONDAY AS WELL. SATURDAY CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE THE WARMEST DAY OF
THE LONG TERM WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION...(140 PM EDT TUE APR 26 2011)
EXPECT SCT TSRA TO DEVELOP THIS AFTN...ESPECIALLY FOR THE TERMINALS
SE OF KMKG. STORMS SHOULD THERE IS A SLIGHT /LESS THAN 10 PERCENT/
CHANCE OF S-SW TSTM WIND GUSTS GREATER THAN 50KT OR HAIL APPROACHING
1 INCH IN DIAMETER.

THERE IS UNCERTAINTY ABOUT HOW QUICKLY WE WILL SEE LOW CIGS/VSBYS
DEVELOP TNGT. LIFR IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR KAZO-KBTL-KJXN
TERMINALS AFT 06Z. THOUGH NOT MENTIONED IN THE TAFS...SHRA IS
EXPECTED AGAIN AFTER 27/12Z.

&&

.MARINE...(446 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2011)
WIND COULD APPROACH GALES THIS MORNING...BUT THEN SIMMER DOWN THIS
AFTERNOON.  HAVE NOT GONE WITH A GALE WARNING DUE TO THE SHORT
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY...BUT THIS WILL BE CLOSE.  OTHERWISE AS THE
SURFACE LOW APPROACHES TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO
LOWER AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BECOMES BAGGY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(446 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2011)
RAINFALL THROUGH THURSDAY SHOULD BE AROUND TWO INCHES ESPECIALLY IN
THE EASTERN CWA.  THIS WILL COME IN TWO PARTS...TODAY AND THEN
WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  GIVEN THE LULL TONIGHT AND THE LONG
DURATION OF THE RAIN WE WILL NOT ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME.
HOWEVER...IF THE EXPECTED RAINS DO OCCUR SOME HYDRO ISSUES WILL BE
REALIZED.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...NONE.
