Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
357 PM EDT FRI JUL 8 2016

.DISCUSSION...

A significant severe weather scenario is unfolding over central and
southern lower Michigan during the afternoon into early evening.
Ongoing convection in the Saginaw Valley is essentially a broken
line of supercells focused along the surface cold front and dynamic
support for lift on the lead edge of the upper level circulation.
The latest runs of the ARW, NMM, and HRRR all suggest coverage will
be more scattered farther south along the front toward metro
Detroit. At the same time, mid afternoon mesoanalysis indicates
MLCAPE around 2500 J/KG and 0-6 km bulk shear of at least 45 knots
all the way south to the Ohio border. Thus, while coverage may be
lower farther south along the front, this instability/shear
combination favors high potential for organized and intense
convection over the entire area capable of large hail golf ball size
and larger, damaging wind gusts, and tornadoes. Severe thunderstorm
watch 356 remains in effect until 8 PM for all of SE Michigan.

Regional radar composite shows substantial coverage of showers and
weaker storms near the center of the upper low that will brush
through the Tri Cities and Thumb region later in the evening/early
overnight. The rest of the area will be dry with a general partly
cloudy sky near the Ohio border. Passage of the cold front will
bring surface dewpoint down into the upper 50s overnight and push
min temps into the lower half of the 60s most locations outside of
metro Detroit.

The upper low will remain nearby to our east during Saturday and
support weakly cyclonic to neutral flow over the central and eastern
Great Lakes. Cooler air upstream today supports guidance max temps
in the mid 70s for our area Saturday afternoon. This will set the
stage for a considerable diurnal component to cloud cover and some
instability related showers. Scattered coverage of showers similar
to those over Minnesota into western Wisconsin seems like a good
analog for SE Michigan. Mesoanalysis this afternoon indicates
surface based CAPE generally less than 500 J/KG and no strikes in
lightning detection. This is modeled quite well by CAMs like the ARW
and NMM and supports holding off on mention of thunder in our area.
Scattered showers would then persist into evening before dissipating
quickly after sunset.

High pressure will build over the region Sunday and last through
Monday with reasonable confidence. There is some uncertainty
regarding the pace of return flow development over the Midwest along
with eastward extent of warm advection rainfall Monday into Monday
night. Consensus of model guidance holds off on rain chances in SE
Michigan until Tuesday which looks reasonable as the upper level
ridge axis just begins to drift eastward by then. A steady warming
trend back into the mid 80s Monday to near 90 again by Wednesday
then looks solid given the depth of southerly flow in the large
scale subject to convective trends. There is loose agreement in the
medium range models for the next front to arrive Thursday into
Thursday night.

&&

.MARINE...

Thunderstorms will develop along, and ahead of, a cold front that
will sweep through the eastern Lakes this evening. Strong wind gusts
around 60 to 70 mph and large hail up to 2 inches may be possible
with these storms. Winds will become northwesterly by Saturday
morning in the wake of the front. The added instability from the
cooler air surging into the region will cause winds to increase
during the afternoon. The favorable northwest fetch will build wave
heights over the southern Lake Huron basin and along the shoreline
of the Thumb. This may necessitate a small craft advisory Saturday
afternoon into the overnight hours. The remainder of the forecast
period will be quiet with light to moderate winds.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
Issued at 111 PM EDT Fri Jul 8 2016

AVIATION...

Atmosphere has struggled to erode the low moisture and stratus
through the morning but skies finally look to be scattering out with
better afternoon mixing. Attention turns to convective potential for
the afternoon and evening hours. An approaching cold front will be
the focus for an expanding area of showers and thunderstorms this
afternoon. Initiation time will be around 18-19Z for MBS and FNT,
and closer to 21Z for the Detroit area terminals. With the coverage
hires models are forecasting, decided to go tempo for all sites at
this time. Activity will end around 00Z with drier air leading to a
VFR bkn deck above 5kft.  Question will be what kind of stratus
field do we get in the early morning again with the enhance low
level moisture field left by the storms? Went with SCT for now til
we see where the bulk of the rain is laid out. Winds will pick up
this afternoon out of the west-southwest, and will veer
northwesterly behind the front by Saturday morning.

For DTW...Cloud decks will continue to rise over the next hour or
two before stabilizing in low VFR. Timing of the thunderstorms still
looks best from about 21-00Z this evening, but cannot rule out a
stray storm in advance of the line. Will handle any isolated lead
cell with an amendment. Low confidence in MVFR/IFR stratus early
Saturday morning.

//DTW Threshold Probabilities...

* Medium in cigs aob 5kft through this evening...low for early
  Saturday morning.

* Medium for thunderstorms in DTW airspace this afternoon.
