AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI
840 PM EDT SAT APR 12 2014

LATEST UPDATE...
UPDATE

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 329 PM EDT SAT APR 12 2014

ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED FROM TONIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING. A FLOOD WATCH IS IN PLACE FOR MUCH OF SOUTHWEST
LOWER MICHIGAN. THE HEAVIEST RAINS ARE EXPECTED TO FALL NORTH OF A
LINE FROM SOUTH HAVEN TO ALMA...BUT ALL AREAS ARE IN LINE TO SEE AS
MUCH AS AN INCH OF RAIN. SOME LOCATIONS ACROSS CENTRAL LOWER
MICHIGAN MAY SEE PRECIPITATION TOTALS EXCEED THREE INCHES BY MONDAY
AFTERNOON. IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE MILD INTO SUNDAY BEFORE COLDER AIR
WORKS INTO THE REGION ON NORTH WINDS FOR MONDAY. HIGHS ON TUESDAY
WILL LIKELY HOLD IN THE 30S WHICH WILL BE A STARK CONTRAST TO THE
70S WE SAW ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA TODAY.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 840 PM EDT SAT APR 12 2014

NO SIGNIFICANT FCST OR FLOOD WATCH HEADLINE CHANGES ARE NEEDED
THIS EVENING. KGRR/RGNL RADAR TRENDS SHOW ANOTHER BATCH OF STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS OVER OUR NW FCST AREA THAT WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK
EAST ACROSS OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES THROUGH THE MID TO LATE EVENING
HOURS WITH HEAVY RAIN AND POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL WITH STRONGEST
ELEVATED STORMS. THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS
SOUTHERN WI AND TRACK EAST TO AFFECT AREAS NEAR TO MAINLY NORTH OF
I-96 OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 329 PM EDT SAT APR 12 2014

MAIN FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON THE HYDRO/FLOODING THREAT THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. MAINTAINED THE FLOOD WATCH AS IS...GIVEN THE MODELS
REMAINING VERY CONSISTENT WITH CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN AS THE MAIN
THREAT AREA. FEEL GOOD THOUGH THAT WE HAVE A BUFFER AREA TO THE
SOUTH DOWN TO ALLEGAN...KENT...IONIA AND GRATIOT COUNTIES AS
CONVECTION CAN BE QUITE FICKLE IN TERMS OF PLACEMENT AT TIMES.
BURSTS OF CONVECTION WILL BE TIED TO MID LEVEL SHORTWAVES AND 850MB
LLJ AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT. FIRST PEAK IN THE 850MB LLJ IS UNDERWAY
AT THIS TIME AND WE ARE SEEING CONVECTION EXPANDING ACROSS CENTRAL
LOWER MICHIGAN AT THIS TIME. FEEL WE WILL LIKELY SEE ANOTHER PEAK IN
ACTIVITY LATER TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING AS IOWA CONVECTION THIS
EVENING ROLLS EAST INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT. THERE MAY BE A LULL IN
THE ACTIVITY SUNDAY MORNING...BUT THE MOST WIDESPREAD AND HEAVIEST
RAIN WILL LIKELY OCCUR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT AS A STRONG
LLJ MAX WORKS THROUGH THE AREA. ALL MODELS ARE SHOWING A 60+ KNOT
LLJ SLIDING THROUGH THE AREA. WE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON WIND
GUST POTENTIAL GIVEN THESE WINDS ALOFT...BUT STILL THINKING HEAVY
RAINS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT AFTER WE GET BY HAIL POTENTIAL THIS
EVENING. COULD SEE SOME HAIL OUT OF THE ACTIVITY THIS EVENING AS
CELLS ARE INTERACTING WITH THE WARM FRONT AND ACQUIRING BETTER
ORGANIZATION.

RAIN WILL GRADUALLY BEGIN TO CHANGE OVER TO SOME WET SNOW ON MONDAY
AS COLDER AIR FILTERS IN BEHIND THE SOUTHEAST MOVING FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. WE COULD SEE SOME SLUSHLY LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS ON
MONDAY...BUT NOT THINKING MORE THAN AN INCH OR SO AT THIS POINT.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 329 PM EDT SAT APR 12 2014

LOW PRESSURE WILL BE PULLING AWAY AND COLDER AIR POURING INTO THE
CWA MONDAY NIGHT. BASED ON FORECAST SOUNDINGS...STARTED OFF PCPN AS
SNOW. AS PCPN HANGS ON LONGEST OVER THE SE CWA...WE COULD SEE AROUND
AN INCH ACCUMULATION MONDAY NIGHT.

H8 TEMPS FALL TO -14C EARLY TUESDAY SUGGESTING ENOUGH INSTABILITY
POSSIBLE FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW. HOWEVER...THE DGZ IS NARROW AND
LOWERING RAPIDLY DURING THIS TIME FRAME AS MOISTURE CONTINUES TO
DIMINISH. I THINK ANY ACCUMS WILL BE UNDER AN INCH. CERTAINLY TEMPS
WILL BE COLD WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 30S.

THIS TIME OF YEAR COLD INTRUSIONS DON/T LAST LONG AND THIS WILL BE
NO DIFFERENT. LOW PRESSURE IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL QUICKLY PUSH
WARMER AIR NORTHWARD. HIGHS IN THE 40S WEDNESDAY AND 50S THURSDAY
ARE EXPECTED. AS THAT LOW MOVES EASTWARD...CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL
INCREASE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 737 PM EDT SAT APR 12 2014

THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT THROUGH SOUTHWEST
LOWER MI. AVIATION IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY KMKG TO KGRR
AND KLAN...ALTHOUGH THE STORMS COULD END UP JUST NORTH OF THESE
LOCATIONS. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ERRATIC...BUT AN OVERALL
TREND TOWARD SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH FLOW IS EXPECTED TONIGHT. AS MORE
MOISTURE ARRIVES...CEILINGS WILL LOWER...AND IFR COULD ARRIVE BY
DAYBREAK. WE COULD SEE A BREAK IN THE STORMS LATE TONIGHT INTO SUN
AM...BUT A RESURGENCE IN THE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED SUNDAY
AFTERNOON WITH CONTINUED IMPACTS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 329 PM EDT SAT APR 12 2014

THINKING HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. STILL LOOKING AT
THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINS. THE MODELS HAVE NOT BACKED
OFF AT ALL...WITH THE NAM...GFS AND ECMWF ALL SHOWING TOTALS RANGING
FROM AROUND AN INCH IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST TO THREE OR EVEN MORE
ACROSS CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN. ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MIDDAY MONDAY.

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES STILL LOOK TO PEAK TOMORROW NEAR THE 100TH
PERCENTILE AT 1.3 TO 1.4 INCHES. RIVERS BEING UP ALONG WITH
SATURATED SOILS FROM THE SNOW MELT SHOULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT
RIVER RISES. THE FIRST ROUND OF RIVER WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES WENT
OUT TODAY WITH MORE LIKELY COMING IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. CONVECTION
IS ALWAYS A WILD CARD...BUT THE CONSISTENCY IN THE SWATH OF HEAVY
PRECIPITATION LEADS TO FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THIS EVENT. WE DID
INCLUDE 48 HOURS OF PRECIP INTO THE HYDROLOGIC MODELS TODAY WHICH IS
WHAT IS DRIVING THE INITIAL WAVE OF WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES. THE
WARM FRONT THAT HAS LIFTED INTO THE AREA TODAY WILL BECOME SOMEWHAT
STATIONARY FOR THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS AND BE A FOCUS FOR REPEATED
ROUNDS OF PRECIPITATION. IT LOOKS LIKE THE HEAVIEST RAINS WILL
LIKELY COME SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THAT SAID WOULD NOT
BE SURPRISED TO SEE A HEAVY BATCH OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVE INTO
THE AREA LATER TONIGHT AFTER FIRING IN IOWA THIS EVENING.

THE RAIN WILL CHANGE OVER TO SOME SNOW ON MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT
BEFORE THE PRECIP ENDS ON TUESDAY. RIVER RISES AND FLOODING THOUGH
WILL CONTINUE WELL INTO NEXT WEEK AS THE WATER WORKS DOWN THE RIVERS.

552 PM EDT SAT APR 12 2014

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST LOWER
MICHIGAN.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING THIS EVENING WILL HAVE THE THREAT TO BECOME
SEVERE WITH STRONG DAMAGING WINDS OVER 60 MPH AND LARGE HAIL OVER AN
INCH IN DIAMETER. THERE IS A CHANCE AN ISOLATED TORNADO COULD SPIN
UP ALSO. THE BEST CHANCE OF STORMS WILL BE ESPECIALLY NORTH OF A
LINE FROM HOLLAND TO LANSING.

ADDITIONAL STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.
THE PRIMARY THREAT OVERNIGHT WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL LEADING
TO URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING. AN ISOLATED WIND GUST TO 60 MPH
OR ISOLATED LARGE HAIL IS POSSIBLE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
MORNING. STORM TOTAL RAINFALL IN EXCESS OF THREE INCHES IS
POSSIBLE.... MAINLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM SOUTH HAVEN TO LANSING.

THE HEAVY RAIN MAY LEAD TO FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS AND TRIGGER SIGNIFICANT RISES ON ALREADY ELEVATED RIVERS. SOME
RIVERS COULD REACH OR EXCEED FLOOD STAGE NEXT WEEK... PARTICULARLY
THE MUSKEGON...PERE MARQUETTE... AND WHITE RIVERS.

A COUPLE INCHES OF WET SNOW IS POSSIBLE MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. THE
TUESDAY MORNING COMMUTE COULD FEATURE SOME SLICK SPOTS WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 20S.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE POSSIBLE.
