AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
401 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012

.SHORT TERM... THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT

THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WILL BE EXPANDED INTO THE TRI CITIES
BASED ON MID AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX EXCEEDING 105 WHICH IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN THE CASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE REST OF THE WARNING AREA
WILL REMAIN INTACT DESPITE SURFACE DEWPOINT MIXING OUT SLIGHTLY,
ALLOWING HEAT INDEX TO FALL BELOW 105, BUT WITH MAX TEMPS TOPPING
OUT AROUND 100. IN ADDITION, MIN TEMPS ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO DROP
INTO THE MID 70S IN THE DETROIT METRO AREA WITH HEAT INDEX
REMAINING AT LEAST IN THE LOWER 80S FOR THE BULK OF THE NIGHT.

THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON REMAINS
GREATEST ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE SURFACE TROUGH AXIS SETTLING THROUGH
SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN. SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES HURON COUNTY
MAY BE THE ONLY AREA IN THE CLEAR WITH THE LINE ROUGHLY FROM SAGINAW
TO PORT HURON SETTING UP WITH THE BEST SURFACE CONVERGENCE AT PRESS
TIME. THE FORECAST WILL PROCEED UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE MID
LEVEL CAP WILL BE PRESENT OVER THE REST OF THE REGION BUT TOO WEAK
TO TRUST JUDGING BY THE 12Z DTX SOUNDING AND THROUGHOUT THE SUITE OF
MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS. EXPECT STORMS TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING ALONG
THE SURFACE TROUGH/LAKE BREEZE HYBRID WITH OUTFLOW THEN SUPPORTING
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH AND EAST TOWARD THE DETROIT AREA
BEFORE EXITING TO THE EAST AND/OR DISSIPATING BY MID EVENING WITH
THE LOSS OF SURFACE HEATING. HOURLY MESOANALYSIS AT 19Z INDICATED
MLCAPE AROUND 4000 J/KG WITH ABOUT 1500 J/KG OF DOWNDRAFT CAPE.
THESE ELEMENTS WITHIN THE WEAK WIND FIELD WILL MAKE PULSE/MULTICELL
SEVERE CONVECTION THE PRIMARY MODE WITH DAMAGING WIND THE MAIN
HAZARD ALONG WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN DUE TO SLOW STORM MOTION.

JUST WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE SURFACE
BOUNDARY BEGINS A NORTHWARD MOVE IN THE FASHION OF A WARM FRONT.
THIS WILL BRING THE CHANCE OF NOCTURNAL SHOWER AND STORM DEVELOPMENT
TOWARD SUNRISE AS THE MID LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE EXTENDS SOUTH AND
EASTWARD FROM THE LOW OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST. THE ONGOING MCS IN
THAT REGION WILL LIKELY REMAIN OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES WITH
NEW DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE OVERHEAD OF SE MICHIGAN LATE IN THE NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

A SHIFT IN THE LONGWAVE PATTERN THIS WEEKEND WILL BRING RELIEF FROM
THE EXCESSIVE HEAT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WE HAVE BEEN DEALING
WITH...BUT NOT BEFORE A COUPLE MORE DAYS OF MID/UPPER 90S FIRST.

THE MIDLEVEL TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL CONTINUE BUILDING
OVER THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH THURSDAY AS AN APPROACHING SYSTEM
TRACKING ACROSS CANADA FORCES IT TO BECOME POSITIVELY TILTED. 500MB
HEIGHTS WILL EXCEED 591 DM DURING THIS TIME AND THOUGH THE CANADIAN
SYSTEM WILL FLATTEN THE RIDGE...HEIGHTS WILL HOLD ON FRIDAY UNTIL A
COLD FRONT DROPS ACROSS THE STATE ON SATURDAY. THE COLD FRONT WILL
BE STRONG ENOUGH TO FORCE THE WARM AIRMASS TO THE SOUTH AS THE
TROUGH SETTLES OVER EASTERN CANADA. A FEW REINFORCING SHOTS OF
ENERGY INTO THE TROUGH OVER THE WEEKEND WILL HELP FORCE THE RIDGE
AXIS BACK TO THE WEST OVER THE FOOTHILLS OF THE ROCKIES PLACING THE
GREAT LAKES INTO A REGION OF NW FLOW. 850 MB TEMPS WILL DROP FROM
THE CURRENT VALUES AROUND 22C DOWN INTO THE LOW TEENS BY SUNDAY
WHICH WILL BRING MAX TEMPS BACK DOWN TO AROUND 80F WHICH IS MUCH
CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. DEWPOINTS WILL BE NOTICEABLY
LOWER BACK INTO THE 50S WHICH WILL MAKE IT FEEL MUCH NICER OUT AS
WELL. THIS PATTERN WILL HOLD THROUGH THE MID WEEK.

CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO POSE A THREAT INTO THE WEEKEND. MUCH
LIKE TODAY AND YESTERDAY...VERY HOT AND HUMID AIRMASS WILL RESIDE
OVER SE MI. A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY DRAPED OVER NORTHERN
MICHIGAN WILL DROP THROUGH THE AREA ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON WHICH WILL
PROVIDE A BIT OF FOCUS FOR POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP WITH
THE ENHANCED CONVERGENCE ALONG IT. WARM AIR AROUND 700-800MB WILL
PROVIDE A BIT OF A CAP FOR THE STORMS TO CONTEND WITH AGAIN BUT THE
WEAK FRONTAL CONVERGENCE...ANY LINGERING BOUNDARY/LAKE BREEZE OR
WEAK SHORTWAVE IMPULSE MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE STORMS. ATMOSPHERE
WILL REMAIN PRIMED WITH CAPE VALUES IMPRESSIVELY HIGH AT UPWARDS OF
3000 J/KG AND THE NAM CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE VERY STRONG LOW/MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF 8-10C/KG. A STRONGER FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH
SATURDAY/SUNDAY WHICH WILL BRING ABOUT ONE MORE CHANCE AT PRECIP.
MODELS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY DRY WITH IT THUS FAR BUT DO SHOW A COUPLE
MID LEVEL WAVES POTENTIALLY TRACKING ALONG THE FRONT. WILL KEEP
CHANCE POPS GOING ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES FOR THE TIME
BEING.

EXCESSIVE HEAT WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO POSE A PROBLEM FOR SE MI
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY SHOULD REACH
INTO THE MID 90S WITH POTENTIAL ON FRIDAY TO POSSIBLY REACH 100F FOR
MANY LOCATIONS. THE USUAL SUSPECTS MAY THROW A WRENCH INTO THE
FORECAST WITH POSSIBLE UPSTREAM CONVECTION SHEDDING CLOUDS AND/OR
RAIN OVER SE MI AFFECTING MAX TEMPS...BUT IN THE END THE AIRMASS HAS
BEEN VERY CONSISTENT AND WILL FORECAST ACCORDINGLY WITH REASONABLY
HIGH MAXES UNTIL WE SEE SOMETHING TO SAY OTHERWISE. THE EXCESSIVE
HEAT WATCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MAINTAIN UNSETTLED CONDITIONS IN TERMS OF
THUNDERSTORMS BUT THE WIND WILL BE LIGHT. THE RESULT WILL BE WARM
AND STABLE CONDITIONS OVER THE OPEN WATERS UNDER A WEAK WIND FIELD.
THE WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT AND STABLE LOW LEVEL PROFILE WILL THEN
CONTINUE TO PROMOTE LIGHT WINDS AND LOW WAVES THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 147 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012

//DISCUSSION...

TIMING AND COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING WILL BE THE PRIMARY AVIATION CHALLENGE WITH THIS
FORECAST PACKAGE. SURFACE ANALYSIS AND SATELLITE IMAGERY FAVOR THE
REGION FROM PTK SOUTH THROUGH DTW REGION FOR AFTERNOON STORM
DEVELOPMENT. OFFICE OBSERVATIONS OF TOWER CU SUPPORT EARLIER
INITIATION WITH THE MAIN WINDOW FOR STORMS AT THE TERMINAL SITES
BEING 19 TO 22Z WITH A FEW STORMS LINGERING THROUGH MID EVENING.

THE MBS AND FNT VICINITY HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF BEING AFFECTED BY
STORMS DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. THE ACTIVITY OVER THE UPPER
MIDWEST WILL LIKELY TRACK TO THE NORTH BUT THE SURFACE BOUNDARY
THAT SETTLED OVER THE REGION WILL RETURN AS A WARM FRONT WITH THE
AREA SUBJECT TO NEW SHOWER/STORM DEVELOPMENT. FARTHER SOUTH, WEAK
GRADIENT FLOW AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKY OVERNIGHT FAVOR MVFR FOG/HAZE
IN DTW AREA WHERE COVERAGE OF RAIN HAS BEEN GREATER OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF DAYS.

//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...

* MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND TIMING OF 19-22Z
  TODAY.
