AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
359 PM EDT MON JUN 18 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 358 PM EDT MON JUN 18 2012

WV IMAGERY AND CURRENT 500MB HEIGHTS SHOW MUCH OF THE NORTHERN CONUS
IN A TIGHT ZONAL GRADIENT...STRETCHING FROM THE PACIFIC COAST TO
THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION...WITH SHORTWAVE DEVELOPMENT ON THE
WEST COAST BEGINNING TO DIG OUT A TROUGHING PATTERN. SMALLER
SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION HAS LED TO
CONVECTION DEVELOPMENT ACROSS MUCH OF MN...WI...AND UPPER MI DURING
THE DAYTIME HOURS.

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE 500MB SHORTWAVE IS
CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER NORTHERN MN AND SOUTHWEST ONTARIO WITH A WARM
FRONT TRAVERSING UPPER MI TODAY. WITH THE INFLOW OF WAA AND STEEP
LAPSE RATES...ALONG WITH STRONG BULK SHEAR /65-75KTS ACROSS
NORTHEAST WI AND INTERIOR WESTERN UPPER MI/...STORMS HAVE BEEN
DEVELOPING THROUGHOUT THE DAYTIME HOURS. GENERAL STORM DEVELOPMENT
OVER WI WITH BEST INSTABILITY HAS THEN FOLLOWED 850-300MB STORM
MOTION WIND VECTORS TO THE ENE...TRAVERSING ACROSS MUCH OF UPPER MI.
12Z NAM SHOWS CONTINUED MUCAPE OF 1-2K J/KG ACROSS INTERIOR UPPER MI
THROUGH 0Z...THEN INCREASING TO 2-3K J/KG ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL BY
6Z. DCAPE VALUES WILL REMAIN BETWEEN 1 AND 1.5K J/KG DURING THIS
PERIOD AS WELL. SEVERAL SEVERE HAIL AND HIGH WIND REPORTS HAVE BEEN
RECEIVED ALREADY...SO DO EXPECT THE POTENTIAL OF BOTH HAIL AND WIND
TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...WITH BEST CHANCES BEING
ACROSS THE INTERIOR WEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL WITH THE GREATEST
CAPE/INSTABILITY. STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS BEHIND WARM FRONT WILL ALSO
LEAD TO DOWNSLOPING GUSTY WINDS AT KSAW OVER THE EVENING HOURS.

THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SURFACE LOW WILL BEGIN TRACKING
EASTWARD ACROSS UPPER MI DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...TAKING WITH IT
THE BEST INSTABILITY. AS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BEGINS TO SET IN...12Z
MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW AN INFLUX OF DRY AIR MOVING FROM THE WESTERN UP
TO THE CENTRAL BETWEEN 0Z AND 6Z. THIS WILL EFFECTIVELY BRING AN END
TO ANY LEFT OVER CONVECTION. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DROP INTO THE LOW
TO MID 60S DURING THIS TIME OF CLEARING. DRY AIR WILL BE SHORT LIVED
HOWEVER...AS SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND
ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW PRESSURE RACE NORTHEASTWARD TOWARDS MN DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THE WARM FRONT EXTENDING AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING YET ANOTHER
ROUND OF DEEP MOISTURE AND WAA LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY...CAUSING CLOUDS TO SPREAD IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE WILL TRAVERSE MN FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST DURING THE
DAY TUESDAY BRINGING GOOD Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE TO WESTERN LAKE
SUPERIOR BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS. STEEPEST LAPSE RATES WILL REMAIN
OVER MN DURING THE DAY...BUT MODERATE RATES OF 6-7 C/KM COULD BE
PRESENT OVER MUCH OF UPPER MI. BY 0Z WED...BEST Q-VECTOR/FRONTAL
FORCING WILL BE LOCATED OVER WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR...SO BROUGHT
LIKELY POPS INTO THIS LOCATION BETWEEN 18 AND 0Z SINCE DAYTIME
HEATING AND PWAT VALUES 200-225 PERCENT OF NORMAL WILL LIKELY BE
ENOUGH TO INITIATE CONVECTIVE TSRA/SHRA OVER THIS AREA. 12Z GFS40
ALSO BRING GOOD 0-3KM MUCAPE VALUES OF 1-3KT ACROSS CENTRAL
MN...EXTENDING EASTWARD ACROSS WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR AND CENTRAL
UPPER MI. CONTINUED SOUTHERLY FLOW DURING THE DAY TUESDAY WILL HELP
TO RAISE TEMPERATURES IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES TO THE UPPER 70S AND
LOW 80S...THOUGH /LIKE TODAY/ CLOUD COVER COULD BE A FACTOR IN
PREVENTING TEMPERATURES TO REACH THEIR PEAK. CIN VALUES SHOULD
REMAIN BELOW 75 J/KG...SO REGARDLESS...INITIATION OF TSRA/SHRA
SHOULD NOT BE HARD.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 358 PM EDT MON JUN 18 2012

WARM FRONT WILL BE PUSHING N ACROSS UPPER MI AT THE START OF THE
PERIOD AND INTO ONTARIO TUES NIGHT. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO UPPER
TROUGH AMPLIFYING OVER THE NRN ROCKIES AND THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDING
OVER ONTARIO. THIS WILL SLIDE THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NNE OUT OF
THE UPPER MISS VALLEY AND INTO ONTARIO BY 12Z WED. THIS WILL
CAUSE THE WARM FRONT TO PIVOT AND STRETCH SW TOWARDS THE SFC LOW
AND KEEP THE BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS OVER WRN LK
SUPERIOR. THUS...EXPECT A DIMINISHING TREND TO PCPN CHANCES FROM SE
TO NW OF THE CWA THROUGH THE NIGHT. TEMPS SHOULD BE WARM THROUGH THE
NIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT AND WITH THE STRONG H850 JET OVER THE
AREA...HAVE BUMPED UP TEMPS A COUPLE DEGREES INTO THE MID-UPPER 60S.

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW AND WHEN
IT TRACKS ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LKS. MODELS CONTINUE TO DIFFER
WITH THE HANDLING OF THE FRONT...MAINLY WITH THE TIMING.  00Z RUNS
ACTUALLY RANGE FROM LATE TUES NIGHT AND WED MORNING TO WED EVENING
ON PUSHING THE FRONT THROUGH...ALTHOUGH THE 12Z RUNS SEEMED TO COME
INTO A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT. DIFFERENCES ARE SPLIT INTO
TWO CAMPS...WITH THE AMERICAN MODELS FASTER DUE TO A MORE
WRAPPED UP UPPER LOW...WITH GEM/ECMWF IN THE SLOWER SOLN. THESE
TIMING DIFFERENCES WILL LEAD TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE STRENGTH OF THE
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS...BUT THEY SHOULD MOVE EAST ACROSS THE CWA
SOMETIME WED INTO WED EVENING. THINK THE ERN CWA WILL HAVE THE BEST
SHOT OF SEEING MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION DUE TO THE FRONT NOT BEING
THERE UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY. WEST IS A LITTLE MORE UNCERTAIN...SO
WILL CONTINUE TO GO WITH CHANCE POPS DUE TO A EARLIER ARRIVAL
LIMITING PCPN CHANCES. AS FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORMS...ML CAPES LOOK
TO BE AROUND 1000 J/KG...WITH MID LVL LAPSE RATES AROUND 6-6.5 C/KM.
0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES ARE AROUND 35-40KTS...WHICH WOULD SUPPORT
SOME TILTING OF THE UPDRAFTS. WITH THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE
TIMING...NOT OVERLY EXCITED ABOUT SEVERE POTENTIAL...BUT IF IT DID
HAPPEN IT WOULD LIKELY BE OVER THE CNTRL/ERN CWA.

WITH THE FRONT EXITING THE AREA ON WED NIGHT...EXPECT A DRYING
TREND ACROSS THE CWA. COULD SEE SOME GUSTY WNW WINDS OVER THE
KEWEENAW LATE WED NIGHT INTO THURS MORNING DUE TO A TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN THE EXITING LOW AND APPROACHING HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE. OTHERWISE...SHOULD SEE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WITH SOME DIURNAL
CU THURS AFTN WITH DAYTIME HEATING.

THEN FOR THE EXTENDED /THURS NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY/...

GENERAL IDEA FOR THE EXTENDED IS A TRANSITION TO NW FLOW ALOFT ON
THURS NIGHT INTO FRI...AS THE UPPER TROUGH SLIDES E TOWARDS THE NEW
ENGLAND STATES. THEN...UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE NRN
PLAINS AND CANADIAN PRAIRIES THIS WEEKEND AND LOOKS TO CONTINUE
INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. THIS PATTERN LOOKS TO BE VERY
SIMILAR TO THE END OF THE FIRST WEEK OF JUNE. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO
NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND...WITH PCPN CHANCES
DEPENDING ON SHORTWAVES DROPPING SE THROUGH THE UPPER
FLOW. MODELS SHOWING WEAK WAVE AFFECTING THE CWA ON FRI...THEN A
COUPLE STRONGER WAVES ON FRI NIGHT /BRUSHES THE SRN CWA/ AND AGAIN
ON SAT AFTN/EVENING FOR THE ENTIRE AREA. GOOD H850-700 WAA OVER WI
AND SRN UPPER MI AS THE SHORTWAVES PUSH THROUGH FRI NIGHT INTO
SAT. SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE NWD EXTENT AND WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION
CHANCE POPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE. UPPER RIDGE IS LOOKING TO
SHIFT E SLIGHTLY SUN/MON AND WILL PUSH SFC HIGH OVER THE AREA.
THIS SHOULD LEAD TO DRIER WX AND SEASONABLE TEMPS WITH WINDS
OFF LK SUPERIOR.
&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 133 PM EDT MON JUN 18 2012

SCT SHRA/TSRA WILL BE NEAR ENOUGH TO THE TAF SITES TO INCLUDE
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH
THE PERIOD. MORE -SHRA COME THROUGH TUE WITH RETURN FLOW SETTING UP
LATE IN THE MORNING AND WENT PROB30 POPS AT ALL SITES.
&&

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 358 PM EDT MON JUN 18 2012

RELATIVELY SMALL SECTIONS OF PATCHY TO AREAS OF FOG WILL REMAIN
POSSIBLE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS ADDITIONAL MOISTURE PUSHES ACROSS THE
COOLER LS WATERS. LOW PRESSURE LOCATED ACROSS WESTERN ONTARIO WILL
CONTINUE NE...CROSSING JAMES BAY AND REACHING QUEBEC BY
DAYBREAK TUESDAY. STRONG THUNDERSTORMS HAVE SPAWNED IN RESPONSE OF
THIS LOW PRESSURE AND ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT THAT TRAVERSED THE AREA.
LOCALIZED STRONG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL COULD BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
EVENING /MAINLY ACROSS SE PORTIONS OF LS/. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
WILL SET UP ACROSS LS...WHERE IT WILL REMAIN AS ANOTHER LOW DEVELOPS
OVER SD/NE TUESDAY MORNING. THIS SECONDARY LOW SHOULD CROSS N MN/W
LS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...BEFORE SHIFTING ACROSS
CENTRAL ONTARIO AND DRAGGING A TROUGH/COLD FRONT OVER LS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN TAKE HOLD FOR WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...SHIFTING TO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES FRIDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER
LOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE CENTRAL TO NORTHERN PLAINS STATES. THIS LOW
SHOULD REMAIN TO OUR SOUTH...WITH AN ADDITIONAL HIGH SINKING ACROSS
THE UPPER GREAT LAKES FROM CENTRAL CANADA SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY.  GENERAL WINDS AND WAVES SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT AND THEREFORE
NOT BE OF CONCERN DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD.
