AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
1025 AM EDT MON JUN 8 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1025 AM EDT MON JUN 8 2015

REMAINING FOG IS QUICKLY DISSIPATING AS DAYTIME HEATING/MIXING
ACCELERATES LATE THIS MORNING. LOCATIONS STILL DEALING WITH
FOG/LOW STRATUS ARE MAINLY ALONG THE LAKESHORES WHERE COOL WATER
TEMPS SLOW DIURNAL HEATING/MIXING.

OUR CWA REMAINS DRY ATTM...BUT A LOOK AT UPSTREAM RADARS SHOWS
SOME SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS
CENTRAL AND WRN UPR MICHIGAN AND NRN WISCONSIN. 500 MB TROUGH AXIS
AND SURFACE REFLECTION WITHIN THIS VCNTY ARE PROVIDING SOME
SYNOPTIC SUPPORT...BUT INSTABILITY IS STILL LACKING. THIS SHOULD
BE REMEDIED AS DIURNAL INSTABILITY INCREASES AND MUCAPES BUILD TO
AROUND 1000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS STILL
RATHER PLENTIFUL WITH DWPTS HOLDING MAINLY IN THE 50S. HOWEVER...
WIND FIELDS STEADILY DIMINISH THROUGHOUT THE DAY...DROPPING 0-3 KM
BULK SHEAR TO AROUND 15 KTS. DIRECTIONAL SHEAR MAY BE MORE
IMPRESSIVE ACROSS NE LWR MICHIGAN WHERE THE DEVELOPING LAKE BREEZE
CAN INCREASE LOW LEVEL HELICITY...AND WILL CERTAINLY KEEP AN EYE
ON THIS. BUT OVERALL... THE MAIN ISSUE WITH CONVECTION THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SMALL HAIL AS FREEZING LEVELS
LOWER WITH ONGOING CAA ALOFT. 500 MB TEMPS DROP FROM -14C TODAY
TO -17C BY LATE EVENING. WILL MAKE ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS
FOR THE BALANCE OF THE DAY.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 730 AM EDT MON JUN 8 2015

FOG HAS BEEN TENDING TO LIFT IN MANY AREAS ALREADY. 1ST USABLE
VSBL SAT IMAGES OF THE MORNING SHOULD A BROADENING CLEARING TREND
FROM PLN TO APN...AND TO A LESSER DEGREE IN THE FAR SE COUNTIES.
HAVE ADJUSTED CLOUD COVER FORECAST ACCORDINGLY...AND IN THOSE
AREAS WITH MORE SUN HAVE BUMPED UP MAX TEMPS VERY SLIGHTLY.

&&

.NEAR TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 320 AM EDT MON JUN 8 2015

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL...T-STORMS WITH SMALL HAIL EXPECTED
THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.

997MB SURFACE LOW IS NE OF THE SAULT EARLY THIS MORNING. A WEAK
COLD FRONT IS ABOUT TO EXIT NE LOWER MI. THE THERMAL/MOISTURE
GRADIENT REPRESENTED BY THIS FRONT IS NOT IMPRESSIVE (DEW POINTS
REMAIN IN THE UPPER 50S/NEAR 60F IN WI). BUT WHERE THE POST-
FRONTAL NW WINDS HAVE BROUGHT IN MARITIME AIR...THE AIRMASS CHANGE
HAS BEEN QUITE DRASTIC. LAST OF THE -SHRA ALONG THIS FRONT ARE
ABOUT TO EXIT. HOWEVER...ROGUE SHRA FROM UPSTREAM ARE SUSTAINING
THEMSELVES OVER NORTHERN LAKE MI...IN PARTICULAR JUST W OF THE
MANITOUS. THAT UPSTREAM ACTIVITY ORIGINATED FROM A SECONDARY
COLD FRONT AND STRONGER SHORTWAVE ALOFT...WHICH WILL IMPACT THE
REGION TODAY.

TODAY/THIS EVENING...UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE OF NOTE IS MOVING INTO
WESTERN SUPERIOR/NW WI. IT WILL SLOW AS 50-60KT WINDS DIG INTO THE
BACKSIDE OF THE TROF. THIS WILL LEAD TO THE UPPER TROF REACHING NW
LOWER/EASTERN UPPER MI TOWARD 21Z. THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE TROF
STARTS TO CROSS NORTHERN LAKE MI AFTER 12Z...BUT PROCEEDS TO GET
LOST AS DIFFERENTIAL LAND-LAKE HEATING DEVELOPS A WEAK LOW OVER
NORTHERN LOWER JUST AHEAD OF IT.

DO NOT EXPECT SHRA OVER NORTHERN LAKE MI TO SIMPLY CHARGE ACROSS
THE AREA. MOST ACTIVITY TO OUR W AND NW IS DIMINISHING...AND
ANTICIPATE THESE TO DO SO AS WELL...EVENTUALLY. HOWEVER...SOME
PRE-DAWN SHRA ARE IN THE GRIDS/FORECASTS FOR PARTS OF NW LOWER.

THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF HIGH CLOUDS ARCING INTO NORTHERN
LOWER FROM CONVECTION TO OUR SOUTH. OUR MOIST LOW LEVELS ARE ALSO
SUPPORTING LOW CLOUDS...IN PARTICULAR (BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY)
NEAR/OVER THE COOL LAKES. THE CIRRUS WILL ERODE WITH TIME
OVERNIGHT/THIS MORNING AS THE BAND OF CONVECTION WORKS EAST AND
SOUTH. ONCE THAT HAPPENS...HEATING WILL GO TO WORK ON SOME OF THE
STRATUS/FOG. THAT SHOULD OPEN PARTLY SUNNY SKIES FOR MOST AREAS FOR
AT LEAST PART OF THE DAY...MAINLY EARLY/MID AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...ON
BALANCE THERE WILL BE MORE CLOUDS THAN SUN TODAY. THAT MAKES ME
THINK THAT GUIDANCE HIGH TEMPS IN NORTHERN LOWER (MAINLY UPPER 70S)
LOOK A LITTLE AMBITIOUS.

HOWEVER...A MID 70S OVER UPPER 50S AIR PARCEL IS STILL REASONABLY
UNSTABLE...ESPECIALLY AS THE COOLEST TEMPS ARRIVE THIS AFTERNOON.
500MB TEMPS LOWERING TO -14/-15C WILL ASSIST IN BOOSTING MLCAPES TO
AROUND OR SLIGHTLY IN EXCESS OF 1K J/KG. HOWEVER...THE ARRIVAL OF
THE UPPER TROF ALSO HELPS RELAX THE MID-LEVEL FLOW AND REDUCING
SHEAR. 0-6KM BULK SHEAR START ARE NEAR 30KT LATE-MORNING...BUT HAVE
DROPPED INTO THE TEENS BY LATE AFTERNOON. A FREEZING LEVEL AS LOW AS
8500 FT WILL MAKE SMALL HAIL RELATIVELY COMMON...BUT IT WILL BE
DIFFICULT TO MUSTER MORE THAN THAT.

EARLIER FORECAST IDEA OF SCT POPS IN MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND
MORE NUMEROUS PRECIP IN NE LOWER...IS REASONABLE.

OVERNIGHT...DIURNAL CONVECTION WILL WANE...AND THE RECOVERY OF
HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL LIKELY GENERATE ENOUGH SUBSIDENCE TO KEEP
ANYTHING ELEVATED FROM BUBBLING UP. ANY PARTIAL CLEARING WILL TEND
TO PRODUCE SOME FOG (AGAIN). MIN TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 40S
IN EASTERN UPPER TO THE MID 50S NEAR GLADWIN/STANDISH.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 320 AM EDT MON JUN 8 2015

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL: LOOKS LIKE A GOOD SHOT AT A BATCH OF
THUNDERSTORMS LATER TUESDAY NIGHT INTO VERY EARLY WEDNESDAY. A
LEGITIMATE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT APPEARS POSSIBLE...WITH LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS BOTH POSSIBLE.

SYNOPTIC SETUP: THE SEASONABLY ACTIVE AND A BIT MORE "SUMMER" LIKE
WEATHER PATTERN THE PAST 24 HOURS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO
MIDWEEK...AS WE MAINTAIN AN OVERALL FLAVOR OF MEAN UPPER TROUGHING
IN ITS CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED POSITION OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT
LAKES. THAT PATTERN WILL BE VERY BRIEFLY INTERRUPTED FOR TUESDAY
ITSELF AS WE SEE AN INTERLUDE OF TRANSIENT SHORTWAVE RIDGING CROSS
THE AREA...BEFORE WE TURN OUR SIGHTS TO ANOTHER HEALTHY SHORTWAVE
DROPPING INTO WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR BY TUESDAY NIGHT. THAT FEATURE
WILL PUNT A DECENT COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA BY SUNRISE
WEDNESDAY...WITH HIGH PRESSURE AGAIN BRIEFLY SWEEPING INTO THE
REGION IN ITS WAKE BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.

AS ALLUDED TO ABOVE...HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING ANY REAL PRECIP CHANCE
ON TUESDAY AS WE LOSE THE UPPER TROUGH AND IT IS REPLACED BY
BUILDING HEIGHTS ALOFT AND SOME SEMBLANCE OF A CAPPING FEATURE. WITH
THAT SAID...CAN'T RULE OUT A ROGUE SHOWER FIRING OFF INTO NORTHEAST
LOWER LATER IN THE AFTERNOON WHERE THE BEST BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE
SHOULD STILL RESIDE BENEATH THE LINGERING WESTERN EDGE OF OUR
DEPARTING TROUGH...THOUGH THE CHANCE LOOKS FAR TOO LOW TO INCLUDE
ANY MENTION AT THIS POINT. INSTEAD...AFTER WE RID OURSELVES OF
PERHAPS SOME MORNING FOG (AND MAYBE STRATUS?)...IT SHOULD BE A
DECENT DAY AS WE WATCH UPSTREAM HAPPENINGS IN THE CONVECTION
DEPARTMENT. QUITE THE SHARP UPPER TROUGH AXIS ROLLING INTO THE UPPER
MIDWEST WILL BE INTERACTING WITH A NARROW BUT IMPRESSIVE CORRIDOR OF
DEEP THETA-E ADVECTION...COINCIDENT WITH AN AREA OF INCREASING MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES AS THE EASTWARD EXTENSION OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS
ELEVATED MIXED LAYER IS ADVECTED NORTH IN A PRE-FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT.

THAT SETUP SHOULD HAVE VERY LITTLE TROUBLE IGNITING A BAND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE LATER AFTERNOON OVER FAR
NORTHEAST MINNESOTA/SOUTHERN ONTARIO/WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR AND
WISCONSIN. THAT AXIS SHOULD THEN FOLD SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS SQUARELY INTO NORTHERN MICHIGAN...FUELED
BY QUITE STRONG LOW LEVEL JET FORCING IN COMBINATION WITH THOSE
STEEPER LAPSE RATES AND HEIGHT FALLS ALOFT. COUPLE THAT FACT WITH
AREAS JUST TO OUR SOUTHWEST THAT TYPICALLY "STEAL" ALL OF OUR
CONVECTIVE FUN WILL BE SQUARELY CAPPED OFF OVERNIGHT...AND THE STAGE
IS SET FOR AT LEAST THE POTENTIAL OF A MARGINALLY SEVERE MCS TO
CROSS THE REGION. DEEP LAYER SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 45+ KNOTS IS
IMPRESSIVE...WORKING IN CONCERT WITH MLCAPE VALUES PUSHING 1500 J/KG
OR BETTER...AND HAVE LITTLE DOUBT THAT AT LEAST THE POTENTIAL IS
THERE FOR SEVERE WIND AND HAIL...WITH THE WIND THREAT PREDICATED ON
HOW MUCH NOCTURNAL BOUNDARY LAYER INSTABILITY CAN BE MAINTAINED.
CIPS ANALOGS AGREE WITH THIS IDEA...THOUGH MOST ANALOGS ARE CENTERED
A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH THAN CURRENT GUIDANCE INDICATES WITH OUR
UPPER WAVE. ALL THINGS TOLD - NEED TO REALLY WATCH THIS ONE.

CONVECTION SHOULD RAPIDLY MARCH EAST OF THE AREA FIRST THING
WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND HONESTLY WOULD NOT BE SHOCKED IF ALL AREAS
ARE DONE BY OR JUST AFTER 12Z. PRETTY GOOD PUSH OF SUBSIDENCE IN THE
WAKE OF THE LEAD WAVE SUGGESTS A PERIOD OF DRY CONDITIONS INTO EARLY
AFTERNOON...WITH POTENTIALLY A COUPLE MORE DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS
FIRING OFF ACROSS THE EASTERN U.P. BENEATH A POCKET OF COOLER AIR
ALOFT ROTATING BACK ACROSS THE AREA. BACKGROUND WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW
SUGGESTS AN AREA OF ENHANCED INLAND CONVERGENCE AS OFTEN SEE IN SUCH
SETUPS...SO THIS IDEA DOES AT LEAST HAVE SOME MERIT...THOUGH ANY
SHOWERS LOOK HIGHER BASED AS WE REALLY START TO DRY OUT THE BOUNDARY
LAYER. ANY OF THAT NONSENSE WILL END NO LATER THAN 00Z WITH LOSS OF
HEATING...WITH THINGS RATHER QUIET INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS LOW LEVEL
RIDGING WORKS ITS MAGIC. DEPENDING ON THE DEGREE OF BOUNDARY LAYER
DRYING...COULD BE LOOKING AT PERHAPS SOME MORE FOG IN SPOTS...BUT
HAVE A SNEAKY SUSPICION DRYING WILL BE A LITTLE MORE THAN PROGGED
GIVEN OUR SANDY SOILS AND HISTORY HERE...SO WILL FOREGO ANY MENTION
JUST YET.

&&

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 320 AM EDT MON JUN 8 2015

AN ACTIVE STRETCH OF LATE WEEK/EARLY WEEKEND WEATHER LOOKS TO BE
SANDWICHED BETWEEN TWO STRETCHES OF QUITE NICE CONDITIONS. WEAKISH
LOW LEVEL RIDGING SHOULD RULE THE ROOST INTO MOST OF THURSDAY...
THOUGH WITH LIKELY SOME THICKENING CLOUD COVER LATER IN THE DAY AS
LOW/MID LEVEL WARM ADVECTION ASCENT CRANKS UP TO OUR SOUTH. APPROACH
OF AN ELEVATED AND SURFACE WARM FRONT LATER THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY SHOULD PROVIDE A DECENT SHOT AT SHOWERS AND STORMS...WITH
PERSISTENT TRENDS FOR SEVERAL DAYS THAT A STRONGER UPPER WAVE WILL
DRIVE A DECENT SURFACE REFLECTION THROUGH NORTHERN MICHIGAN SOMETIME
ON FRIDAY. THAT SETUP ALONE MANDATES HIGHER POPS TO WRAP UP THE WORK
WEEK...BUT WITH A NOTABLE TREND OF LATE SUGGESTING THAT SYSTEM
DEPARTS QUICKLY BY EARLY SATURDAY...REPLACED INSTEAD BY HIGH
PRESSURE WORKING SQUARELY OVERHEAD. GIVEN A MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS OF
THIS SCENARIO...CONFIDENCE IS HEIGHTENED WITH A RETURN TO DRY
WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND. BASED ON AN EARLY LOOK AT THE SETUP...
SHOULD BE LOOKING AT SOME SEASONABLY WARM DAYS BUT A RETURN TO OUR
FAMOUS SUMMERTIME COOL/COMFORTABLE NIGHTS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 730 AM EDT MON JUN 8 2015

FOG/STRATUS ERODING THIS MORNING. SCT SHRA/TSRA THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. SOME FOG POTENTIAL TONIGHT.

MARINE FOG/STRATUS HAD MADE A PUSH INTO MANLY THE NW LOWER MI TAF
SITES EARLY THIS MORNING. THAT HAS ALREADY STARTED TO LIFT AT
PLN/TVC...MBL WILL TAKE A COUPLE MORE HOURS YET. A SECONDARY COLD
FRONT WILL ARRIVE THIS AFTERNOON. SHRA/TSRA WILL REDEVELOP AS IT
ARRIVES...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF BUT SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTIONS
TO VSBYS/CIGS. NE LOWER MI WILL SEE THE GREATEST COVERAGE...AND SO
APN IS THE ONLY SITE WITH VCTS MENTIONED THIS AFTERNOON. ANY SITE
THAT SEES RAIN THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING STANDS A BETTER CHANCE OF
SEEING FOG TONIGHT. SO AGAIN...THAT LEAVES APN AS HAVING THE BEST
CHANCE.

WINDS LIGHT/VARIABLE THIS MORNING...WITH A NW BREEZE UP TO 10KT
THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 320 AM EDT MON JUN 8 2015

FOG/STRATUS WILL BE COMMON TODAY...ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING...AND
VESSELS SHOULD USE ABUNDANT CAUTION OUT THERE. THE NEXT IN A
SERIES OF WEAK COLD FRONTS WILL ENTER THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON...TOUCHING OFF SOME SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY. A LIGHT NW
WIND WILL BE PREVALENT BEHIND THIS FRONT...WITH EVEN LIGHTER W TO
SW FLOW AHEAD OF IT. WINDS/WAVES WILL BE COMFORTABLY BELOW SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA.
