AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
350 AM EDT TUE JUL 3 2012

.SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SOUTHEAST LOWER MI NOW FIRMLY POSITIONED ON THE EDGE OF THE WELL
DEFINED DEEP MOISTURE/INSTABILITY GRADIENT...WITH HIGH END DEWPOINTS
/UPPER 60S-LOWER 70S/ NOW ESTABLISHED JUST UPSTREAM.  STEADY
MOISTURE/THETA-E ADVECTION WILL COMMENCE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY
WITHIN A DEEPENING LOW LEVEL SOUTHWEST FLOW.  THIS PROCESS ALREADY
NOTED VIA THE BLOSSOMING SCATTERED CONVECTION NOW FILLING IN THROUGH
NORTH-CENTRAL LOWER.  AT THE SAME...SOUTHERN EXTENSION OF A
STRONG/CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY ANCHORING A MCS
OVER NORTHEAST WISCONSIN/LAKE MICHIGAN WILL LOCK ONTO THE BETTER
MOISTURE FIELD AND WORK INTO THE LOWER PENINSULA THROUGH THE DAY.
THE POTENTIAL CERTAINLY EXISTS FOR THIS WAVE AND/OR ASSOCIATED
OUTFLOW/MCV TO INITIATE AN EXPANDING CORRIDOR OF CONVECTION THIS
MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON...PERHAPS ENHANCED VIA THE BROADER ASCENT
OWED TO ONGOING MOIST/WARM AIR ADVECTION ALONG A PASSING WARM
FRONTAL ZONE.  THIS CONVECTION WOULD THEN TEND TO FILL
EAST/SOUTHEAST DOWN THE GROWING INSTABILITY FIELD (MLCAPE IN EXCESS
OF 2000 J/KG) ALIGNED ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON.  GIVEN
A BACKGROUND NORTHWEST WIND FIELD CARRYING 30 TO 35 KNOTS OF DEEP
LAYER SHEAR...CONDITIONS LOOK FAVORABLE FOR AN ORGANIZED SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT TODAY.

A VIRTUAL CARBON COPY NOTED IN THE SUB-850MB THERMAL FIELDS
TODAY...WITH THE MAIN ADJUSTMENT BEING THE INCREASE IN BOUNDARY
LAYER MOISTURE.  THIS WILL PROVIDE AN INCREMENTAL ADJUSTMENT UPWARD
IN HUMIDITY LEVELS THIS AFTERNOON.  THE PROSPECTS OF CONVECTION...AS
WELL AS SOME CIRRUS BLOWOFF LEFT FROM THE NOCTURNAL ACTIVITY
UPSTREAM...COULD PRESENT SOME ISSUES IN ACHIEVING A FULL CYCLE OF
MAX HEATING.  GIVEN CURRENT TRENDS...THIS SEEMS MORE LIKELY
TOWARD THE NORTH.  BARRING AN EARLIER DISRUPTION IN THE DIURNAL
HEATING CYCLE...ONCE AGAIN LOOKING AT HIGHS IN THE 90 TO 95
RANGE...WARMEST SOUTH.  THIS WOULD PLACE HEAT INDICES INTO THE UPPER
90S/NEAR 100 RANGE AS FAR NORTH AS THE I-69 CORRIDOR...SUPPORTIVE OF
A HEAT ADVISORY HEADLINE TODAY.

&&

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

MAIN STORY THROUGH THIS WEEK WILL BE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS. A
EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY (4TH OF JULY)
THROUGH FRIDAY FOR FAR SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN.

CONVECTIVE FORECAST BECOMES VERY UNCERTAIN BY WEDNESDAY. MODELS
NEVER REALLY SHOW A STRONG THERMAL BOUNDARY DROPPING THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF LOWER MICHIGAN TONIGHT OR WEDNESDAY...HINTING THAT
THE COLD FRONT NOW OVER NORTHERN MINNESOTA WILL WASH OUT AS IT MOVES
SOUTHEAST. LOOKING AT MODEL WIND FIELDS...AND ESPECIALLY
THETA-E...IT IS CLEAR THAT A BOUNDARY BETWEEN AIRMASSES WILL DROP
SOUTH ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN ON WEDNESDAY (4TH OF JULY)...BUT HOW
MUCH CONVECTION THIS MAY TRIGGER IS UNCERTAIN. NAM/GFS HAVE A NICE
THETA-E RIDGE OVER MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN TODAY/TONIGHT...AND SHOW
IT CASCADING DOWN ACROSS MICHIGAN TOMORROW RESULTING IN STRONG LOW
AND MID LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION. NAM ALSO SHOWS A WEAK SURFACE
TROUGH CROSSING DOWN THROUGH THE AREA...WITH AN ASSOCIATED WIND
SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST. AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY...INSTABILITY WILL
BUILD OVER THE AREA THROUGHOUT THE DAY...HOWEVER GFS AND NAM DIFFER
BY QUITE A BIT WITH HOW STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES BECOME (5-6 VS
7-8 C/KM). HIGH DEWPOINTS AND HOT TEMPERATURES SHOULD ALLOW SB CAPE
VALUES TO BUILD TO AROUND 3000 J/KG...WITH NAM/GFS SOUNDINGS
BECOMING EITHER UNCAPPED (NAM) OR VERY NEARLY UNCAPPED (GFS) BY
AFTERNOON. OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES OF LIFT COULD INCLUDE UPPER
SHORTWAVES FROM UPSTREAM THAT CONTINUE TO PASS THROUGH THE LOWER
GREAT LAKES...AND LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARIES. DEEP MOISTURE IS NOT
EXPECTED TO BE IN PLACE...WITH A LAYER OF DRY AIR AT THE MID-LEVELS
EXPECTED TO PRECEDE THE STRONG THETA-E SURGE IN THE LOWER LEVELS.
THIS DRY LAYER MAY LIMIT TSTORM POTENTIAL AND COVERAGE...BUT ALSO
INCREASE BUOYANCY. HAVE CONTINUED TO CARRY CHANCE POPS...AND WILL
CONTINUE TO MENTION SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK GIVEN HIGH CAPE VALUES.

UNCERTAIN CONVECTIVE FORECAST DIRECTLY AFFECTS CONFIDENCE WITH
TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY. ANY CONVECTIVE DEBRIS FROM
UPSTREAM IN ADDITION TO WHATEVER MAY FIRE OVERHEAD COULD POTENTIALLY
BRING IN ENOUGH CLOUDS TO LIMIT TEMPERATURES. ON THE OTHER
HAND...TEMPERATURES COULD REACH 100 DEGREES OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF
OF THE FORECAST AREA. ASSUMING PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES...CURRENT
FORECAST WITH TEMPERATURES SOLIDLY IN THE 90S AND DEWPOINTS IN AT
LEAST THE UPPER 60S WOULD NECESSITATE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS AND/OR
HEAT ADVISORIES FOR THE AREA.

UPPER RIDGE WILL RE-AMPLIFY OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. AND GREAT LAKES
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...BRINGING QUIET WEATHER TO THE AREA.
BOTH TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS LOOK TO FALL SLIGHTLY ON THURSDAY
BEFORE BOTH HEAT AND HUMIDITY INCREASE AGAIN FOR FRIDAY.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING ACROSS NORTHERN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC
WILL FLATTEN THE RIDGE OVER THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY...AND SEND A COLD FRONT DOWN ACROSS THE AREA. THIS WILL
BRING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND TSTORMS LATE FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY.

NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP OVER MICHIGAN FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY
AS BROAD TROUGHING SETTLES DOWN INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL BRING
RELATIVELY QUIET WEATHER...IN ADDITION TO COOLER TEMPERATURES AND
MUCH LOWER DEWPOINTS.

&&

.MARINE...

WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT AND STABLE LOW LEVEL PROFILES WILL CONTINUE
TO PROMOTE LIGHT WINDS AND LOW WAVES THROUGH THE WEEK.  A WARM FRONT
LIFTING THROUGH THE REGION WILL BRING A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH TONIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 1211 AM EDT TUE JUL 3 2012

//DISCUSSION...

A LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHERN WISCONSIN
SHOULD STAY NORTH OF THE TAF SITES THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS...KEEPING VFR CONDITIONS IN PLACE OVER THE TAF SITES. HOWEVER
CIRRUS BLOWOFF FROM UPSTREAM CONVECTION WILL CAUSE A HIGH BASED
CLOUD DECK. THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS A
WARM FRONT TRACKS THROUGH SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN DURING PEAK HEATING.
ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IN OVERALL COVERAGE AND TIMING IS STILL RATHER
LOW...WILL CONTINUE THE PROB30 GROUP DURING THE BEST WINDOW OF 16Z
TO 20Z. OUTSIDE OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS...VFR CONDITATIONS ARE EXPECTED
TO PREVAIL WITH WINDS REMAINING LIGHT SOUTHERLY.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* LOW CONFIDENCE THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT KDTW AFTER 16Z.
