AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
337 PM EDT THU MAY 3 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 336 PM EDT THU MAY 3 2012
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHED ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN WILL
SLOWLY MOVE SOUTH OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE SEVERE THIS EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO EXPECTED. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
DIMINISH FRIDAY. MORE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 336 PM EDT THU MAY 3 2012
FORECAST CONCERNS DEAL WITH CONVECTIVE TRENDS TONIGHT.
SEVERE STORMS ARE ONGOING ACROSS THE CWA. MOST OF THE SVR
STORMS WILL BE OVER THE NRN CWA WHERE SHEAR VALUES AROUND 55KTS
WERE NOTED. SHEAR VALUES DECREASE AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES AND
THE HIGHER SHEAR IS NEVER REALLY PROGD OVER THE SRN CWA. THAT
SAID...SRN LOWER WAS ABLE TO DESTABILIZE SIGNIFICANTLY THIS
AFTERNOON (LI/S NEAR -9C) AND THAT MAY LEAD TO A SVR STORMS LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
SIGNIFICANT TRAINING IS OCCURRING OVER THE NW CWA AND FLASH
FLOODING REMAINS A THREAT. AS SUCH NO CHANGES TO THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH WERE MADE.
MUCH OF THE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON WAS KICKED OFF BY A SHORT
WAVE MOVING NEWD ACROSS WISCONSIN. THE SFC LOW ASSOCIATED WITH IT
WILL MOVE ACROSS NRN LWR THIS EVENING AFTER WHICH THE TRAILING
COLD FRONT WILL SINK SOUTH. GFS SHOWS ANOTHER POTENT SHORT WAVE
MOVING ACROSS SRN LWR AFTER 06Z TONIGHT. THIS WILL HELP TO KEEP
THE CONVECTION GOING AND PERHAPS SLOW THE SWD PROGRESSION OF THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THAT BOUNDARY WILL FIND SRN LWR FRIDAY MORNING
AND CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL DECREASE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
DURING THE DAY. AT THIS POINT FRIDAY NIGHT LOOKS DRY...BUT IT/S
POSSIBLE THAT THE FAR SRN CWA MAY SEE A FEW STORMS/SHOWERS EARLY
IN THE EVENING.
.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 PM EDT THU MAY 3 2012
HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD NOSE INTO THE REGION ON SATURDAY...HOWEVER IT
APPEARS TO BE A DIRTY HIGH WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
LINGERING. IT SHOULD BE A RATHER CLOUDY DAY...WITH A FEW SHOWERS
POSSIBLE. PARTIAL CLEARING SHOULD FINALLY OCCUR LATE SATURDAY NIGHT.
THE MODELS ARE MAINTAINING A MERGE OF THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
STREAMS BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND. THIS RESULTS IN THE FORMATION OF
LOW PRESSURE NEAR STL BY SUNDAY NIGHT. THE LOW HEADS FOR TOL BY
MONDAY NIGHT...SO PCPN WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHERN LOWER MI
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.
THE ACTIVE PATTERN CONTINUES AS THERE WILL BE THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. AN UPPER LOW NEAR JAMES BAY WILL
PIVOT A SHORT WAVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES.
TEMPS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL FOR THE WEEKEND THROUGH TUESDAY. THEN
TEMPS WILL BE BELOW NORMAL BY WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 122 PM EDT THU MAY 3 2012
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE INCREASING IN COVERAGE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AND INTO THE EVENING. PEAK ACTIVITY ACROSS SW LOWER MI SHOULD BE
FROM ABOUT 22Z THROUGH 03Z...HOWEVER STORMS COULD LINGER ALL
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHERN TAF SITES.
MVFR IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP INTO THE EVENING WITH SOME SCATTERED
IFR LIKELY INTO LATE TONIGHT/EARLY FRI MORNING AS CEILINGS LOWER
IN LIGHT WINDS. HOW WIDESPREAD THE IFR BECOMES IS STILL
UNCERTAIN...BUT WILL BE BETTER DEFINED WITH FUTURE TAF
ISSUANCES.
&&
.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 336 PM EDT THU MAY 3 2012
WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RESULT IN LIGHT WINDS THROUGH FRIDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 336 PM EDT THU MAY 3 2012
PWATS NEAR 1.5 INCHES WILL CONTRIBUTE TO HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL
TONIGHT. ONGOING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL IN EXCESS OF AN INCH TONIGHT. THIS MAY LEAD TO
PONDING ON ROADWAYS AS WELL AS RISES ON AREA RIVERS/STREAMS.
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL DIMINISH FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
FRIDAY.
