AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
347 AM EDT MON MAY 25 2015

.SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT

TODAY WILL FEATURE A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE LIFTING NORTHWARD UP
THROUGH THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES...ROTATING ABOUT THE BROAD MID/UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH TO OUR WEST. THE SHORTWAVE WILL REACH SOUTHERN WI
AROUND 14Z THIS MORNING...EVENTUALLY SHEARING OUT IN THE STRONG
DEFORMATION ZONE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES BY 00Z. THERE IS NO
REAL FRONTAL FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SHORTWAVE AS THE SHEARING
LOBE OF VORTICITY SWINGS UP THROUGH SE MI IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING
HOURS. THERE WILL HOWEVER BE WEAK SFC AND MID LEVEL TROUGHING
SWINGING UP THROUGH THE AREA. THIS WAVE WILL BRING DEEP LAYER STRONG
SW FLOW AS IT REORIENTS THE 850MB LL JET AND NUDGES IT EAST OVER THE
AXIS OF LAKE MI. WIND SPEEDS OF 30-40 KNOTS WILL BE TAPPED AS MIXING
DEPTHS APPROACH 850MB THIS AFTERNOON IN THE WARM SECTOR. THIS SHOULD
ALLOW SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15-20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 25-30 KNOTS AT
TIMES.  A GOOD SURGE OF MOISTURE WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE WAVE...WITH
ALREADY ELEVATED PWATS OF 1.2 INCHES INCREASING TO AROUND 1.6 INCHES
DURING PEAK HEATING. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES REMAIN WEAK AS THEY HAVE
FOR SEVERAL DAYS NOW AND EVEN WITH SFC DEWPOINTS REACHING INTO THE
MID 60S...WITH TEMPS AROUND 80...THIS AFTERNOON THE RUC/NAM/GFS ALL
BARELY SQUEAK OUT 400 J/KG OF CAPE...WHICH THE SOUNDINGS ALL SHOW TO
BE A TALL SKINNY CAPE. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE BEST POTENTIAL
FOR SHOWERS AND TSTORMS TO BE IN THE 18-23Z WINDOW BUT TAKING ALL
THE ABOVE INTO CONSIDERATION...NOT EXPECTING ANY SEVERE STORMS WITH
THIS SETUP. SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS MAKE WORK THOUGH A LITTLE EARLIER
AS THE MOISTURE WORKS IN...BUT EXPECT SLIGHTLY BETTER COVERAGE IN
THE LATE AFTERNOON WITH THE TIGHT THETA E SWEEPING THROUGH THE AREA.

THE SW WINDS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED OVERNIGHT KEEPING DEWPOINTS HIGH
AND TEMPERATURES MILD IN THE MID 60S. SHOULD DRY OUT PRETTY QUICK
THOUGH AS THE DEEP PLUME OF MOISTURE IS QUICK TO EXIT THE AREA
SHORTWAVE RIDGE SLIDES OVER THE AREA. THIS SHOWS UP VERY WELL IN THE
MID LEVEL RH FIELDS AND WILL ALLOW MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES FOR A PERIOD
TONIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM...

THE WESTERLY JET MAXIMUM WITH SUBTROPICAL CONNECTION WILL EJECT OUT
OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL RESULT
IN THE WESTERN CONUS TROUGH TO DEAMPLIFY RAPIDLY BY TUESDAY EVENING
AND BECOME VIRTUALLY NONEXISTENT BY WEDNESDAY EVENING.
SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN WILL REMAIN UNDER THE KINEMATIC
CORE...KEEPING THE ACTIVE MOISTURE TRANSPORT CORRIDOR DIRECTED AT
SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

BULK OF THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY AND MAIN MIDLEVEL AXIS OF THE WESTERN
CONUS TROUGH WILL TURN TO A NEGATIVE TILT AND LIFT TOWARDS THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AND WESTERN/CENTRAL GREAT LAKES ON TUESDAY.
SHORTWAVE RIDGE COMPONENT AT 850MB AND FORECASTED ANTICYCLONIC
VORTICITY ADVECTION IS EXPECTED TO KEEP CONDITIONS FAIRLY QUIET THE
FIRST HALF OF THE DAY TUESDAY. MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE ONBOARD WITH THIS
AVA IDEA BY SHOWING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DRY AIR IN A VERY DEEP
LAYER OF THE ATMOSPHERE. FORECAST WILL CALL FOR DRY CONDITIONS WELL
INTO THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. TOWARDS EVENING...THE MAIN
VORTICITY ANOMALY NOW TRACKING ALONG THE ARIZONA/MEXICO BORDER...IS
EXPECTED TO HAVE RELEASED TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES...EXPECTED TO PUSH
INTO THE STATE BY 00Z WED. THE COMBINATION OF THIS WAVE UNDER RIGHT
ENTRANCE REGION DYNAMICS ALLOWS AN EPISODE OF STRONG MOISTURE
ADVECTION. PWATS ARE FORECASTED TO SURGE TO AROUND 1.75 INCHES.
QUICKLY RAMP POPS UPWARD POST 21Z...WITH LIKELYS THE FIRST HALF OF
TUESDAY NIGHT. UNCERTAINTY EXISTS WITH REGARDS TO QUALITY OF LAPSE
RATES AND QUANTITATIVE CAPE VALUES...BUT 0-6KM BULK SHEAR IN
EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS SUPPORTS SOME POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG TO SEVERE
RISK...AGAIN CONDITIONAL TO OBSERVED INSTABILITY. TIMING ON THIS
POTENTIAL IS LATE AFTERNOON TO EVENING. SEMICH IS INCLUDED IN THE
MARGINAL DESIGNATION FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN SWODY2.

SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THIS WAVE WITH NOCTURNAL STABILIZATION
SHOULD YIELD A QUIET PERIOD LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING. COMPLICATING FACTOR IS LACK OF A NEAR SURFACE COLD FRONT AS
THE RIDGE BEGINS THE EARLY STAGES OF RETROGRADING CLEAR BACK INTO
THE PLAINS. GIVEN CONTINUED WARM SECTOR SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW...A
GENERAL LOW GRADE INSTABILITY IS FORECASTED. AS A RESULT...DIFFICULT
TO FORECAST ANYTHING SPECIFIC OUTSIDE OF MENTIONING POTENTIAL HIGHER
PRECIPITATION CHANCES DURING THE AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY.

WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WITH WEAK SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT SHOULD
LEAD TO RELATIVELY QUIET CONDITIONS FOR THURSDAY AND A PART OF
FRIDAY. MODEL DATA SUGGESTS A DEVELOPING COLD FRONT/BAROCLINIC ZONE
OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES...EVENTUALLY PUSHING TOWARDS THE
STATE FOR NEXT WEEKEND. WHILE THE BROADER WAVELENGTH OF THE
GOVERNING FEATURES SUGGESTS THERE IS SOME CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING...THE OVERALL ORIENTATION OF THE THERMAL BOUNDARIES TO THAT
OF THE MEAN FLOW POINTS SUGGESTS OTHERWISE.

&&

.MARINE...

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT FOR ALL NEARSHORE WATERS AND
LAKE SAINT CLAIR TODAY. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BECOME MODERATE TO
FRESH OVER ALL AREA WATERS BY LATE IN THE MORNING. WIND GUSTS ARE
FORECASTED TO FREQUENTLY RANGE BETWEEN 25 AND 30 MPH. OFFSHORE WINDS
WILL LIMIT THE POTENTIAL FOR WAVE GROWTH IN THE NEARSHORE ZONES WITH
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHTS EXPECTED TO MAX OUT AROUND 2 TO LOCALLY 3
FEET. MAXIMUM WAVE HEIGHTS WILL REACH 4 TO POSSIBLY 5 FEET...MAINLY
FURTHER AWAY FROM SHORE. THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL IS LOW WITH ONLY A
SLIGHT CHANCE DURING THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 1146 PM EDT SUN MAY 24 2015

A WARM FRONT WILL SLOWLY PUSH NORTHWARD EARLY THIS
MORNING...REACHING JUST NORTH OF FNT PRIOR TO DAYBREAK. THIS FRONT
WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A VEERING WIND TOWARD THE SOUTH. A STRONG
GRADIENT SOUTH OF THIS FRONT AND DAYTIME HEATING WILL LEAD TO
INCREASING WINDS LATE IN THE MORNING...WITH SSW WIND GUSTS POSSIBLY
TOPPING 25 KNOTS BY EARLY MON AFTERNOON. AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE
SLIDING ACROSS THE WRN GREAT LAKES MON AFTERNOON WILL PROVIDE A
CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.

FOR DTW...THE WARM FRONTAL PASSAGE AND ASSOCIATED SHIFT IN THE WIND
DIRECTION IS EXPECTED IN THE 07 TO 09Z TIME FRAME. AN INFLUX OF
MOISTURE DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON WILL PROVIDE A
CHANCE FOR CEILINGS TO DROP BELOW 5000 FT AT TIMES MON AFTERNOON.

//DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES...

* LOW IN THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY AFTERNOON.

* MEDIUM IN CEILINGS BELOW 5000 FT MONDAY AFTERNOON.
