AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
623 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2011

LATEST UPDATE...AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...(335 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2011)
ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED
TONIGHT...WHICH WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT THREAT FOR FLASH
FLOODING. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE AREA
UNTIL FRIDAY AFTERNOON. A WEAK SURGE OF DRIER AIR WILL PUSH SOUTH
THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON...BRINGING A DRY BUT HOT WEEKEND.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WORK WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(335 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2011)
(TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH STILL LOOKS ON TRACK...AS WE EXPECT EPISODES
OF HEAVY RAIN TONIGHT...PARTICULARLY BEFORE 2 AM FRIDAY. SPC HAS
PLACED AREAS SOUTH OF I-96 IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
TONIGHT...BUT CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THE PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE
FLOODING FROM LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. MAIN CHANGES TO THE FORECAST WERE
TO INCREASE POPS TONIGHT.

WATER VAPOR IMAGES SHOW A WELL DEFINED UPPER PV MAX CROSSING THE
IA/MN BORDER THIS AFTERNOON. AN ADDITIONAL PV MAX WAS CROSSING THE
UPPER MIDWEST NEAR THE CANADIAN BORDER. AN MCS DRIVEN BY THE FIRST
PV MAX APPEARS TO BE WEAKENING AND LIMITING DOWNSTREAM INSOLATION.

ALTHOUGH THE SECOND PV MAX SHOULD PASS NORTH OF THE AREA...WE EXPECT
IT TO HELP THE LOW-LEVEL JET TONIGHT. CURRENT PROFILER/VWP DATA
SUGGEST THAT THE SHORT RANGE MODELS ALREADY ARE UNDER-REPRESENTING
LOW-LEVEL FLOW. AN EXTREMELY MOIST ATMOSPHERE /PRECIPITABLE WATER
GREATER THAN 2 INCHES/ COMBINED WITH A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR
TRAINING/BACK-BUILDING CELLS NORTH OF A STATIONARY BOUNDARY ALL
POINT TOWARDS A VERY GOOD SETUP FOR ADDITIONAL VERY HEAVY RAIN
TONIGHT.

FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...FLOW VEERING TO THE NW BEHIND THE
EXITING PV MAX WILL USHER DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION AND END RAIN
CHANCES FOR THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM...(335 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2011)
(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
AN UPPER RIDGE WILL REDEVELOP OVER THE PLAINS DURING THE WEEKEND
BEFORE GRADUALLY FLATTENING AGAIN TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
THE CHANCE FOR PCPN SUNDAY NIGHT ISN/T LOOKING REAL GOOD. A WEAK
COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH THROUGH THE CWA SUNDAY NIGHT. MOISTURE
TRANSPORT VECTORS RATHER SMALL. GIVEN THE OVERNIGHT TIMING...
INSTABILITY WILL BE AT A MINIMUM.

DRY WX THEN UNTIL LATE TUESDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONT. THAT FRONT
HAS MORE OF A PUNCH TO IT AND SHOULD ALSO HAVE MORE MOISTURE TO WORK
WITH. TUESDAY NIGHT LOOKS LIKE THE TIMEFRAME THAT HAS THE HIGHEST
CHANCE OF SEEING RAIN DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

GIVEN THE RIDGE NEARBY...HIGH TEMPS DURING THE PERIOD WILL REMAIN
AOA AVERAGE.

&&

.AVIATION...(623 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2011)
SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE DEVELOPING OVER WRN WISCONSIN AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT. STORMS WILL MOVE EAST AHEAD OF THE FRONT TONIGHT. A VERY
JUICY AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE SO HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE. WE
TWEAKED VSBYS DOWN A BIT TO REFLECT THIS. WOULDN/T BE SURPRISED TO
SEE SOME VSBYS AOB 1SM IN HEAVIER RAIN. PCPN SHOULD END AROUND 12Z
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT. VFR EXPECTED FROM MID MORNING
ON.

&&

.MARINE...(335 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2011)
NO CONCERNS THROUGH THE PERIOD DUE TO A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT...
RESULTING IN LIGHT WINDS AND LOW WAVE HEIGHTS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...(335 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2011)
THE THREAT REMAINS HIGH FOR LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING TONIGHT.
DOPPLER RADAR AND RAINFALL REPORTS BOTH INDICATE THAT 4+ INCHES OF
RAIN HAD FALLEN IN A SWATH EXTENDING SOUTHEAST FROM GRAND RAPIDS TO
JUST SOUTH OF LANSING. CONDITIONS REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL
HEAVY RAIN TONIGHT...WITH RAINFALL RATES OF 1-2 INCHES PER HOUR
CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. CREEKS AND SOME MAINSTEM RIVERS ALREADY HAVE
RISEN FROM THE PREVIOUS RAIN. THESE FACTORS...COMBINED WITH
SATURATED SOIL CONDITIONS...SUGGEST THAT ADDITIONAL LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING AND CREEK/RIVER RISES CAN BE EXPECTED TONIGHT.

&&

.GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MI...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT SOUTH OF A WHITEHALL TO ALMA LINE
     UNTIL FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
LM...NONE.
