Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 1:18 PM EDT, 1 hour 8 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 118 PM EDT MON JUL 8 2013 .AVIATION... //DISCUSSION... MAIN CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CONTINUES TO DISSIPATE AS IT MOVE ACROSS WESTERN MICHIGAN. REDEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND CONVECTION IS CURRENTLY ONGOING AS THE SYSTEM MOVES EAST. HAVE CONTINUED TO KEEP THUNDER IN THE TAFS THROUGH THE EVENING BEFORE CONDITIONS QUIET DOWN LATER TONIGHT. MAIN THREATS WITH THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL STICK AROUND OVERNIGHT AND THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO IFR FOG BY SUNRISE TUESDAY BEFORE MIXING OUT TUESDAY MORNING. FOR DTW... CONVECTION WILL BE THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN THROUGH AT LEAST 00Z. LIGHT WINDS AND THINNING HIGH CLOUDS WILL LIKELY PERMIT IFR FOG BY SUNRISE TUESDAY. //DTW THRESHOLD THREATS... * MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TIMING/COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THROUGH THE EVENING. * HIGH CONFIDENCE IN CEILINGS BELOW 5000 FEET WITH STORM ACTIVITY. && .PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 355 AM EDT MON JUL 8 2013 SHORT TERM... TODAY AND TONIGHT SURFACE AND MODEL ANALYSIS FIELDS INDICATE A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE RIPPLING ALONG THE STALLED FRONT FROM NORTHERN WISCONSIN THROUGH THE STRAITS. DYNAMIC SUPPORT FOR VERTICAL MOTION FROM THIS WAVE, ALONG WITH ENHANCED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT DOWNSTREAM, HAS SPAWNED CLUSTERS OF CONVECTION FROM NORTHERN WISCONSIN INTO LOWER MICHIGAN, AND EVEN AS FAR SOUTH AS NORTHERN ILLINOIS DURING THE EARLY MORNING. COVERAGE WILL BE GREATEST TO OUR NORTH ALONG THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY, BUT EXPECT ENHANCED LOW LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION TO SUPPORT CONTINUED NOCTURNAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH AND OVERHEAD DURING THE REST OF THE MORNING. AS USUAL, THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF SCENARIOS FOR HOW CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL THEN PLAY OUT DURING THE REST OF THE DAY INTO TONIGHT. JUDGING FROM THE EVOLUTION OF LARGER SCALE FEATURES IN MODEL DATA AND AVAILABLE HI-RES RUNS, SUSPECT THE MORNING ACTIVITY OVER LOWER MICHIGAN WILL RUN ITS COURSE AND WEAKEN OR MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY AFTERNOON. THIS IS A COMMON PROCESS IN NOCTURNALLY FORCED CONVECTION WHICH WOULD THEN ALLOW RECOVERY OF BOUNDARY LAYER INSTABILITY OVER SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN, IN TIME TO SUSTAIN THE NORTHERN ILLINOIS CONVECTIVE CLUSTER/MCS OR FOR NEW STORMS TO INITIATE OFF ITS REMNANTS. A MODIFIED NAM SOUNDING WITH A SURFACE PARCEL OF 83/70 YIELDS CAPE NEAR 2000 J/KG WITH 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR AROUND 30 KNOTS IN THE WIND PROFILE, BOTH GOOD ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN CONVECTION FROM UPSTREAM OR AID IN ORGANIZING NEW STORMS. FOR NOW, PLAN TO CALL FOR STORMS APPROACHING SEVERE LIMITS DURING THE MID AFTERNOON TO MID EVENING PERIOD WITH AN UPGRADE POSSIBLE AFTER ASSESSMENT OF MORNING CONVECTIVE TRENDS. EXPECT THINGS TO SETTLE DOWN AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT WITH MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. A NEW ROUND OF MCS DEVELOPMENT IS LIKELY OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS/MIDWEST BUT EXPECT THIS WILL NOT REACH US BEFORE SUNRISE TUESDAY. LONG TERM... UPPER WAVE/SHORTWAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY TIME PERIOD...WITH DRIER/LESS HUMID AIR TO FOLLOW FOR THURSDAY. THERE WILL BE A RELEASE OF THE HEAT FURNACE OVER THE ROCKIES AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM...BUT IT APPEARS THE WARMTH (850 MB TEMPS OF 20+ C) WILL BE SLIDING THROUGH IN THE INOPPORTUNE TIME OF TUESDAY NIGHT...AND 90 DEGREES FOR TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY WILL BE DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE DUE TO CLOUDS AND THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY EXPECTED. ROLLED WITH THE MAV GUIDANCE FOR TEMPS BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. HEIGHT FALLS WILL BE RAMPING UP OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION LATE TUESDAY...CONTINUING INTO WEDNESDAY. THE CENTER OF THE MAX HEIGHT FALLS WILL BE MOVING THROUGH ONTARIO...AND WITH SUBSEQUENT JET AXIS STRUNG ACROSS OUR AREA...ALLOWING FOR AN INCREASING THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER...AS 0-6KM SHEAR RAMPS UP TO 40+ KNOTS. WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTH THROUGH THE CWA ON TUESDAY...WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL JET (850 MB AT 50 KNOTS) ARRIVING TUESDAY NIGHT...AND THE CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL CARRY THROUGH THE NIGHT. 0-1 KM WIND SHEAR/HELICITY WILL BE VERY HIGH AS WELL...AND WILL HAVE TO BE LEARY OF TORNADOES...BUT STILL BIG DIFFERENCE AMONGST THE MODELS IN TERMS OF INSTABILITY/MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. POTENTIAL ORGANIZED MCS TUESDAY NIGHT WILL DICTATE THE SEVERE CHANCES ON WEDNESDAY...AS TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT VARIES A BIT (GFS FASTER...EURO SLOWER)...BUT 850-700 THETA-E RIDGE AXIS SHOULD BE SOUTH OF THE BORDER AROUND 18Z WEDNESDAY...EVEN WITH THE SLOWER EURO...SUGGESTING THE SEVERE THREAT WILL BE PREDOMINATELY SOUTH OF THE BORDER. A NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH AXIS DROPPING SOUTH FROM ONTARIO ON THURSDAY COULD TOUCH OFF ISOLATED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...BUT LARGE SURFACE HIGH/ANTICYCLONIC FLOW BUILDING IN WILL TEND TO MITIGATE THE COVERAGE/THREAT...AS DAYTIME MIXING/INCREASING BOUNDARY LAYER LEADS TO DEW PTS FALLING INTO THE LOWER 50S. SHORTWAVE AT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH AXIS WILL TEND TO CLOSE OFF OVER THE EASTERN OHIO VALLEY/EASTERN GREAT LAKES...THEN RETROGRADE TO THE SOUTHWEST/WEST OVER THE WEEKEND...SIMILAR TO THIS PAST UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTER. AT THIS POINT...FAVORING THE 500 MB LOW TO BE FAR ENOUGH TO OUR SOUTH TO MAINTAIN DRY WEATHER...AND WILL THUS FAVOR WARMER HIGH TEMPERATURES UNDERNEATH THE RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS. HIGHS IN THE MID 80S TO AROUND 90 DEGREES DOES NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH OF A STRETCH WITH 1000-500 MB THICKNESSES RISING ABOVE 570 DAM...BUT WILL STILL NEED TO BE A BIT CAUTIOUS UNTIL THE EXACT POSITION OF THE DEVELOPING 500 MB LOW IS PINNED DOWN. MARINE... THE MAIN CONCERN FOR MARINE INTERESTS WILL BE THE ACTIVE THUNDERSTORM PATTERN EXPECTED TODAY INTO WEDNESDAY. OTHERWISE, WIND AND WAVE CONDITIONS WILL BE GENERALLY FAVORABLE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH LAKE HURON AND LOWER MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY USHERING IN A FRESH NORTHWEST WIND AND MODEST WAVE RESPONSE BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE REGION BY THURSDAY. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
