Area forecast discussion, Jul 4, 11:54 PM EDT, 16 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
1154 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012
THE HOT WEATHER IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE RIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL TOP OUT IN THE MIDDLE 90S TO AROUND 100 IN
MANY AREAS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. SMALL CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE AS LOWER MICHIGAN WILL BE SITUATED TO
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTH THROUGH THE MIDWEST
LATE THIS WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. THE FRONT WILL SLIP SOUTH AND
HIGH WILL RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL IN THE LOWER 80S FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR A BREAK FROM THE HEAT.
&&
.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1027 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012
INCREASED POPS SLIGHTLY OVER THE NORTHEASTERN CWA WHERE THE
REMNANTS OF THE U.P. CLUSTER OF STORMS WILL MOSTLY HEAD. THE
TREND OF THESE STORMS HAVE ALREADY WEAKENED THIS EVENING...BUT
SOME MAY SURVIVE INTO THE CLARE...MT. PLEASANT AND ALMA AREAS.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012
HEAT RELATED HEADLINES CONTINUE TO LOOK GOOD. STILL EXPECTING THE
HIGHEST HEAT ACROSS THE SOUTH THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. 850MB TEMPS
CONTINUE TO WARM SLIGHTLY EACH DAY...SO TRIPLE DIGITS LOOK LIKELY
IN AREAS FROM GRR TO THE SOUTH AND EAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. DEW
POINTS AROUND 70 SHOULD PUSH HEAT INDEX READINGS INTO THE 100-105 RANGE
NORTH AND 103-110 IN THE SOUTH. THE HEAT WAVE CONTINUES.
NEXT CONCERN IS THREAT FOR STORMS AND SEVERE AS SOUTHWEST LOWER
MICHIGAN WILL SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE MID LEVEL CAP AND LOCATED
WELL WITHIN AN INSTABILITY MAX.
TONIGHT...WILL BE WATCHING THE STORMS IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA AS
THEY TRY TO BEND TO THE SOUTHEAST VIA THE DEEP LAYER 850-300MB
FLOW. WEAK FRONT STRETCHES FROM NORTHERN LOWER ACROSS WISCONSIN
AND TO NEAR THE CURRENT MCS. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION TO SEE STORMS
FIRE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY OVER NORTHERN WISCONSIN AND PUSH OUR
DIRECTION AFTER DARK AS WELL. OVERALL STORM CHANCES ARE LOW...BUT
GIVEN UPSTREAM CAPE VALUES AROUND 6000 J/KG WE WILL HAVE TO
MONITOR. MAIN THREAT FROM STORMS TONIGHT WOULD BE THE WIND
OBVIOUSLY.
BEYOND TONIGHT HAVE SMALL CHANCES FOR CONVECTION...WITH THE BEST
THREAT COMING FRIDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF THE FRONT SAGGING SOUTH.
CONFIDENCE IS LOW THOUGH THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM AS SYNOPTIC
FEATURES TO KEY ON ARE LIMITED. EVEN THE FRONT ON FRIDAY NIGHT IS
TIMED INTO THE AREA DIFFERENTLY. MAIN STORY IS HAZY...HOT AND
HUMID WITH SMALL CHANCES FOR STORMS.
.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012
COLD FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH FROM THE NORTH ON SATURDAY...WITH
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF FRONTAL PASSAGE. SLIGHTLY SLOWER
TIMING OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE IS BEING HINTED AT IN THE MODELS FOR
SATURDAY. IF THE FRONT DOES HANG UP TO THE NORTH A BIT
LONGER...TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY MIGHT PUSH UP INTO THE MID 90S IN
THE SOUTHERN ZONES SATURDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE TRENDED TEMPS UP
SLIGHTLY FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. OTHERWISE
COOLER WEATHER WILL OCCUR BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES
MORE SEASONAL IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S FOR SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1150 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012
THE MAIN CHALLENGE WITH THE AVIATION FORECAST DEALS WITH THE RISK
FOR STORMS OVERNIGHT. WE ARE CURRENTLY MONITORING THE STORMS
CROSSING LAKE MI JUST WEST OF KMBL. THEY WERE TRACKING SOUTHEAST.
WHILE THE GENERAL TREND HAS BEEN FOR WEAKENING...THERE IS STILL
PLENTY OF INSTABILITY AROUND TO KEEP THE STORMS GOING. FOR NOW I
ADDED VCTS FOR KMKG AND WE MAY NEED TO EXPAND THAT SOON.
THERE IS A RISK FOR MVFR FOG/HAZE OVERNIGHT. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
HAS INCREASED. HOWEVER WITH CLOUDS MOVING IN WE MAY LIMIT THE RISK
FOR REDUCED VISIBILITIES. WILL KEEP IT OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR
NOW...AND MONITOR TRENDS CLOSELY.
&&
.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012
LIMITED CONCERNS OUT ON THE LAKE THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS WITH LIGHT
FLOW IN PLACE. WAVE ACTION SHOULD BE TYPICAL MID SUMMER TYPE
VALUES OF 2 FEET OR LESS. NORTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPING ON SATURDAY
COULD BE THE NEXT BUMP UP IN WAVES.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 355 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012
HYDRO CONCERNS ARE LOW...BUT NOT ZERO. RIVER LEVELS ARE VERY
LOW...AS WE HAVE BEEN DRY OF LATE. THE CAVEAT IS THAT CONVECTIVE
COMPLEXES MAY DRIFT THROUGH THE AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THESE
RAINS WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT LEAD TO MAINSTEM RIVER ISSUES...BUT
COULD LEAD TO SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING/RUN OFF PROBLEMS. PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES ARE ON THE ORDER OF 1.50 TO 2.25 INCHES THE NEXT 3
DAYS...SO GIVEN THAT MUCH MOISTURE IN THE PROFILE...CANNOT RULE
OUT LOCALIZED HYDRO CONCERNS.
