AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
329 PM EDT WED JUN 11 2014

LATEST UPDATE...
SYNOPSIS/SHORT TERM/LONG TERM/MARINE

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 328 PM EDT WED JUN 11 2014

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BRING SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS INTO THIS
EVENING. THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE STORMS FROM LATER TONIGHT
INTO THURSDAY MORNING...THEN A COLD FRONT WILL BRING MORE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FAIR AND COOLER
WEATHER WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT FOR FRIDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 328 PM EDT WED JUN 11 2014

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS ARE FOR SOME URBAN AND SMALL STREAM
FLOOD THREAT INTO THIS EVENING...THEN ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS ALONG
THE COLD FRONT THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA AND JUICY AIRMASS
WITH LOW LCLS AND HIGH PRECIP EFFICIENCY STORM ENVIRONMENT NOW IN
PLACE. SOME HEATING THIS AFTERNOON COMBINED WITH UPPER LEVEL
DIVERGENCE IN ADVANCE OF SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS HAS ALLOWED SOME
UPDRAFTS TO GET GOING AND THIS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING.
HAVE SEEN SOME MINOR FLOODING WITH MULTICELL CLUSTER OF STORMS
MOVING THROUGH GRR AND COULD SEE MORE UNTIL THE CONVECTION
DECREASES AS THE SUN GOES DOWN. SOME FOG COULD FORM OVERNIGHT WITH
LIGHT WINDS AND HIGH DEW POINTS.

EXPECT A BREAK IN THE ACTION LATER TONIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING AS
THE UPPER TROUGH SHIFTS EAST AND WEAKENS AND THE SFC LOW IS
ABSORBED BY AN UPSTREAM NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH THAT CUTS OFF
OVER MINNESOTA ON THURSDAY. THE COLD FRONT SHOULD FOCUS SOME
STORMS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH DRIER AIR MOVING IN
LATER THURSDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 328 PM EDT WED JUN 11 2014

AFTER A QUIET SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...THE LONG TERM BECOMES
ACTIVE BY SUNDAY AND LOOKS TO REMAIN UNSETTLED THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE MOVES TO OUR EAST SATURDAY NIGHT WITH RETURN FLOW
BRINGING IN WARMER AND MOISTER AIR FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK.
A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES ARE PROGGED TO AFFECT THE AREA SUNDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  THIS WILL GIVE US PERIODIC SHOWERS AND STORMS.
TIMING OF THESE SHORT WAVES IS PROBLEMATICALLY THIS FAR OUT...BUT
THE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME LOOKS THE WETTEST
WITH POTENTIAL MCS/S COMING ACROSS THE AREA.  WILL HAVE POPS IN FOR
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ALSO...BUT THE PCPN APPEARS TO BE MORE WIDELY
SCATTERED BY THEN.

NOT MUCH TEMP CHANGE EXPECTED FROM DAY TO DAY WITH HIGHS MAINLY
AROUND 80...ALTHOUGH IF WE SEE A FEW PERIODS OF SUN WE COULD REACH
THE MID 80S ON ANY GIVEN DAY.  IT WILL BECOME HUMID BY SUNDAY NIGHT
AND THE STICKY AIR SHOULD LINGER THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 154 PM EDT WED JUN 11 2014

A MIX OF VFR AND MVFR WAS ACROSS THE REGION AS OF 17Z...ALTHOUGH
SOME PATCHY IFR LINGERED NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN. THIS SHOULD CHANGE
VERY LITTLE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.  THERE WILL ALSO BE
WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA.

THE STORMS AND SHOWERS WILL BE MOVING OUT OF SW MI BETWEEN 02Z AND
05Z FROM WEST TO EAST. HOWEVER EXPECT VERY LITTLE MIXING OVERNIGHT
WHICH WILL LEAD TO A DOWNWARD TREND TO CEILING AND VSBYS AFTER THE
RAIN DEPARTS. FOG SHOULD FILL IN AND EXPECT WIDESPREAD IFR OR EVEN
LIFR TOWARD DAYBREAK THU. EXPECT A 4 TO 6 HOUR PERIOD OF FOG AND
LOW STRATUS CEILINGS...WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR/MVFR
TOWARD LATE THU MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 328 PM EDT WED JUN 11 2014

AREAS OF DENSE FOG ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY BEFORE A
COLD FRONT BRINGS COOLER AND DRIER AIR THURSDAY NIGHT. SOME
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE COLD FRONT THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND THESE MAY HAVE GUSTY WINDS. OTHERWISE...WINDS AND WAVES WILL
REMAIN RELATIVELY LOW THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 1135 AM EDT WED JUN 11 2014

RAINFALL OVERNIGHT AND THIS MORNING HAS HAD A NEGLIGIBLE AFFECT ON
AREA RIVER LEVELS. SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON
AND LINGER INTO THE EVENING BEFORE TAPERING OFF. ADDITIONAL BASIN
AVG QPF AMOUNTS OF ONLY AROUND A QUARTER OF AN INCH OR LESS ON
AVERAGE ARE ANTICIPATED. RIVERS ARE WELL WITHIN BANK AND GIVEN
ANTECEDENT FAIRLY DRY CONDITIONS THIS WILL NOT HAVE MUCH AFFECT ON
RIVER LEVELS.

A COLD FRONT WILL BRING A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS THURSDAY BUT MANY
LOCATIONS WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY MEASURABLE RAINFALL. THOSE AREAS THAT
DO GET PCPN SHOULD SEE VERY LIGHT AMOUNTS OF UNDER A TENTH OF AN
INCH. NO HYDRO ISSUES ARE ANTICIPATED TODAY THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK AND WEEKEND.

THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A MORE ACTIVE WX PATTERN TO DEVELOP DURING
THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PORTION OF NEXT WEEK WITH SEVERAL ROUNDS OF RAIN
AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. SOME OF THIS RAINFALL COULD POTENTIALLY
BE HEAVY AND THOSE SYSTEMS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY FOR
POTENTIAL TO CAUSE HYDRO ISSUES.
