AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
337 AM EDT TUE MAR 15 2016

.DISCUSSION...

DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL SUBSIDENCE INVERSION THIS MORNING AROUND 2000
FEET MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN LOW CLOUDS THROUGH MUCH OF THE
DAY (PER RUC/NAM SOUNDINGS)...ALTHOUGH ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
EARLY THIS MORNING WILL LIKELY LEAD TO FOG DEVELOPMENT. WITH LIGHT
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW DEVELOPING DURING THE DAY...SUSPECT TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN STUCK IN THE 50S...IN LINE WITH LATEST MAV/MET/EURO MOS
GUIDANCE.

COPIOUS AMOUNT OF UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WORKING THROUGH THE ROCKIES
THIS MORNING WITH CONSOLIDATION TAKING PLACE OVER COLORADO/SOUTHERN
PLAINS...WITH RAPID AMPLIFICATION TODAY/TONIGHT...ALLOWING FOR
NEGATIVE TILTED TROUGH AXIS TO LIFT NORTHEAST THROUGH THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY MORNING. CYCLOGENESIS OVER THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES LOOKS EXPLOSIVE IF ONE IS TO BELIEVE REGIONAL GEM...WITH 20 MB
DROP IN 18 HRS...AS LOW BOTTOMS OUT AT 979 MB AT 9Z WEDNESDAY...BUT
OVER FAR WESTERN WISCONSIN (00Z EURO ALMOST 10 MB WEAKER). THE KEY
TO OUR FORECAST WILL LIKELY BE THE INCREASING SOUTHEAST FLOW OFF THE
COLD WATERS OF LAKE ERIE TONIGHT...MAINTAINING/STRENGTHENING NEAR
SURFACE STABLE LAYER...AND KEEPING THE TRIPLE POINT ALONG AND SOUTH
OF THE MICHIGAN BORDER...WITH 1000-850 MB CAPES/INSTABILITY MAINLY
SOUTH OF THE BORDER. WILL STILL HAVE TO KEEP CLOSE EYE OUT ON
SOUTHERN LENAWEE/MONROE COUNTIES...EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY GRADIENT AS 0-1 KM SHEAR OF 30+ KNOTS WOULD SUPPORT A
TORNADIC RISK...BUT 925 MB MOISTURE AXIS IS GETTING PINCHED OFF AND
WEAKENING AND DOUBTFUL WE WOULD SEE ANY SURFACE BASED ACTIVITY WITH
DEW PTS HOLDING IN THE MID/UPPER 40S. STILL PLENTY OF ELEVATED
MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...AS 925 MB DEW PTS REACH INTO THE LOW TEENS
NEAR THE BORDER...WITH 850 MB DEW PTS RISING INTO THE 5-10 C RANGE.

ALTHOUGH THE 00Z NAM HAS BACKED OFF JUST A BIT WITH THE MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES AND SHOWALTER INDEX...WITH MUCAPES AOA 500 J/KG..COUPLED
WITH THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF LIFT/UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ARRIVING
BY 12Z WEDNESDAY...WOULD STILL NOT RULE OUT HAIL UP TO ONE INCH WITH
FAVORABLE WET BULB ZERO/FREEZING LEVEL HEIGHTS IN 9-10 KFT RANGE.
FAILURE TO CLEANLY PUNCH INTO THE WARM SECTOR EARLY WEDNESDAY
COMPLICATES THE WIND GUST POTENTIAL WITH POST TROUGH AXIS
SUBSIDENCE/6 HR RISE/FALL COUPLET WORKING NORTH THROUGH STATE.
HOWEVER...THE INCREASING BOUNDARY LAYER DURING THE DAYTIME
HOURS...COUPLED WITH 50 KNOTS TO PERHAPS 55 KNOTS WITHIN 5-10 KFT
LAYER...THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR 45 MPH GUSTS...EVEN AS THE LOW
OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES BEGINS TO FILL AND WEAKEN.
HOWEVER...WITH THE EURO A BIT WEAKER...FAVOR GUSTS MOSTLY BELOW 45
MPH. INSTABILITY GENERATED DURING THE DAY WITH STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE
(CAPES OF 250 J/KG PER GFS) CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ISOLATED-SCATTERED
SHOWERS (MAINLY NORTH)...WHICH ALSO COULD HELP TRANSPORT STRONGER
WINDS TO THE SURFACE WITH THE DEEP/DRY SUB CLOUD LAYER. LOOKING AT
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST TEMP GRADIENT FOR HIGHS...WITH MID 50S TO
LOWER 60S.

COLD ADVECTION/CYCLONIC FLOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT-THURSDAY NIGHT WILL
KEEP THE THREAT FOR ISOLATED-SCATTERED INSTABILITY
SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY DURING THE DAYTIME ON THURSDAY. WITH 850 MB
TEMPS OF -4 TO -5 C...GRAUPEL/SNOW IS POSSIBLE...BUT ESPECIALLY
DURING POST DAYLIGHT HOURS WITH COOLING BOUNDARY LAYER.

THE STRONGER UPPER LEVEL LOW/TROUGH DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH EASTERN
CANADA THE EURO ADVERTISED YESTERDAY IS THE DIRECTION THE GFS AND
CANADIAN HAVE TRENDED...AND TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL NOW
APPEAR LIKELY FOR FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND WITH COLD NORTHEAST
FLOW OFF LAKE HURON ALSO HELPING THE CASE. WITH 850 MB TEMPS OF
-8 TO -12 C LATE FRIDAY...LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITY WILL BE A
CONCERN...BUT PRONOUNCED ANTI-CYCLONIC FLOW/DRY AIR EMITTING FROM
LARGE SURFACE HIGH OVER ONTARIO WILL LIKELY PREVENT THIS FROM
HAPPENING.

.MARINE...

THE GALE WATCH FOR THE NORTH HALF OF LAKE HURON IS UPGRADED TO A
WARNING WITH THIS FORECAST CYCLE. EASTERLY GALES ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP MAINLY DURING WEDNESDAY MORNING AHEAD OF A RAPIDLY
STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EXPECTED TO REACH SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN TONIGHT. A PATTERN OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY THUNDERSTORMS
WILL ALSO SPREAD OVER ALL MARINE AREAS AS THE ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT
MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES. STABILITY OVER THE SOUTH HALF OF LAKE
HURON THROUGH WESTERN LAKE ERIE WILL LIMIT GUST POTENTIAL IN ANY
STORMS UNTIL WESTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. GUSTS NEAR
GALES WILL THEN BE POSSIBLE CLOSE TO THE SHORELINES FROM SAGINAW BAY
SOUTHWARD WHILE STABILITY IS EXPECTED TO HOLD GUSTS BELOW GALES OVER
THE SOUTHERN LAKE HURON OPEN WATERS. THE LOW WILL WEAKEN ENOUGH BY
THURSDAY FOR WIND TO DIMINISH OVER ALL MARINE AREAS BEFORE A
MODERATE COLD FRONT SETTLES OVER THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY AND SHIFTS
WIND TO THE NORTH LESS THAN 30 KNOTS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN
TONIGHT AND BE THE FOCUS FOR A PATTERN OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY
THUNDERSTORMS. THE FRONT WILL MOVE STEADILY ACROSS THE REGION WHICH
WILL LIMIT POTENTIAL FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL...HOWEVER LOCALLY HEAVY
DOWNPOURS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM. RAINFALL TOTALS
ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM A QUARTER TO A HALF INCH MAINLY BETWEEN
MIDNIGHT AND NOON WEDNESDAY. AMOUNTS AT THE HIGHER END OF THE RANGE
ARE MORE LIKELY IN THE SAGINAW VALLEY CLOSER TO THE LOW PRESSURE
CENTER. AFTER THIS SYSTEM...RAINFALL POTENTIAL EXCEEDING A QUARTER
INCH WILL BE LOW FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.

.AVIATION...ISSUED 1247 AM EDT TUE MAR 15 2016

GENERALLY MVFR CIGS WILL PREVAIL WITH POCKETS OF IFR FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT THROUGH MORNING. VSBYS WILL SLOWLY LOWER
AS WELL...BUT GIVEN THE DEGREE OF OVC SKIES...WILL ADJUST FORECAST
UPWARD MORE INTO THE 2- 4SM AREA. CIGS THEN LIFT TO VFR...AT
LEAST THROUGH THE END OF FORECAST. CONDITIONS THEN DETERIORATE
QUICKLY TOWARDS 06Z TUESDAY NIGHT AS STRONG LOW PRESSURE LIFTS
INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES.

FOR DTW...MVFR CIGS MAY STILL TREND TO IFR AT TIMES...BUT STAY
PRETTY CLOSE TO 1000 FEET. VSBYS IN THE 2-4SM AREA SEEM
REASONABLE...BUT WILL NARROW THE WINDOW GIVEN TRENDS TO THIS
POINT. EAST WINDS WILL INCREASE DURING AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY
EVENING...SWINGING GRADUALLY TO SE WITH TIME.
