Area forecast discussion, Apr 8, 1:05 PM EDT, 2 hours 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI 105 PM EDT Sat Apr 8 2017 LATEST UPDATE... Aviation .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 301 AM EDT Sat Apr 8 2017 Today will be sunny and warmer with highs around 60. Sunday and Monday will be even warmer with highs around 70. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to move into the area late Sunday and exit the area Tuesday morning. After this, most of the coming week will feature seasonal temperatures with highs in the mid 50s. There will be a chance for rain showers on Thursday but this doesn't look like a wet system. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday night) Issued at 301 AM EDT Sat Apr 8 2017 Models have been quite consistent with first bringing precipitation into the area Sunday evening. Most recent guidance indicates somewhat greater instability so have included a mention of thunder for Sunday night. This lines up well with the recently issued SPC Day 2 outlook. Otherwise bumped today's forecast highs up a degree or two. No other significant concerns. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Friday) Issued at 301 AM EDT Sat Apr 8 2017 It will be unseasonably mild Monday in a strong south to sw flow waa regime. The low pressure system approaching from the west will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms Monday into Monday evening. Some strong to potentially severe convection is possible given strong deep layer shear and weak to potentially moderate instability along with increasing moisture and some lift from the approaching low pressure system and cold front. Potential for severe convection is largely contingent on how much instability develops Monday. As of now a consensus of latest medium range guidance suggests that sb cape values could reach around 1000- 1250 j/kg by Monday aftn/early eve. Temperatures will return to near normal by Tuesday through mid to late week after the very mild weather Monday. The next low pressure system moving in from the west will bring more showers Wednesday night into Thursday. A high pressure ridge building in from the north will bring fair weather for Friday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 105 PM EDT Sat Apr 8 2017 High pressure continued to dominate the weather across Lower Michigan early this afternoon. A large area of cirrus was indicated over Wisconsin and western sections of Upper Michigan...with a smaller area of middle clouds over southern Wisconsin heading east. Models capture the area of mid cloud moisture and move it to the northeast through tonight. While the best moisture and lift will affect northern Lower Michigan...will mention a few mid clouds at KMKG between 21Z today and 03Z Sunday. Bufkit data indicates upper level moisture encroaching on West Michigan tonight...with lower level moisture increasing after 12Z Sunday. Even so...expect VFR conditions to persist through the forecast period. Wind shear will become an issue tonight as the next system approaches. This is most noticeable at KMKG after 00Z Sunday. Latest NAM/Canadian output shows large area of 40 to 50 knot winds at 2kft AGL moving from west to east across West Michigan between 00Z and 12Z Sunday. Will include wind shear remarks in the 18Z TAFs as a result. && .MARINE... Issued at 301 AM EDT Sat Apr 8 2017 Based on latest WW3 guidance, have issued a small craft advisory for all but our southern two marine zones beginning this afternoon. Wave growth will be particularly noticeable farther north around the Sable Points later today due to their exposure to strengthening southerly winds. Both winds and waves will remain elevated for quite a while so we will keep the advisory in effect for the duration of the forecast. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 250 PM EDT Fri Apr 7 2017 Minor river flooding is ongoing across Southwest Lower Michigan, thanks to recent precipitation and a wet spring. The Grand River in Comstock Park is the only site currently forecast to reach moderate flood levels. This should occur Saturday evening and the river should continue in moderate flood through Tuesday. The area will be dry through Sunday. This will allow the rivers to stabilize some. Additional rainfall early next week may exacerbate the issues on the rivers. && .GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...None. LM...Small Craft Advisory until 8 AM EDT Monday for LMZ846>849. && SYNOPSIS...TJT SHORT TERM...TJT LONG TERM...Laurens AVIATION...MWS HYDROLOGY...63 MARINE...TJT
