The National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac has issued a Beach Hazards Statement for dangerous swimming conditions, which is in effect through Friday morning. * High Wave Action and Dangerous Swimming Conditions Expected. * Location...Beaches along the Monroe County shoreline including... Estral Beach...Sterling State Park...Toledo Beach and Luna Pier. * Impacts...The high wave action will be favorable for rip currents and structural currents that make swimming dangerous. * Lake Shore Flooding...Easterly wind sustained at 15 to 20 knots will gust around 25 knots at times. The persistent onshore wind is expected to produce 3 to 5 foot waves with occasional waves to 7 feet. The combination of the wind and waves will help lift water levels to between 66 and 72 inches along the Monroe County shoreline tonight through Friday morning. * Impacts...The Lake Erie undisturbed water level is over 4 feet above chart datum. The high water level combined with the high wave action will have potential to result in minor shoreline flooding and erosion. Damage to docks, boat lifts, or watercraft anchored along the shoreline will be possible. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Lakeshore Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds will generate flooding of low areas along the lakeshore. * Prepare, plan and stay informed.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
713 PM EDT Thu Jun 21 2018
.AVIATION...
Northeast flow from high pressure over the northern Great Lakes
continues to pump low level dry air into SE Michigan tonight. This
maintains VFR conditions as high clouds thicken in advance of the
low pressure system over the Midwest. The slow eastward movement of
this system will bring a gradual diminishing trend in aviation
conditions through Friday. Dry air in the low levels will continue
to battle against moisture moving northward from the front over
Indiana and Ohio. Expect scattered high based VFR showers to precede
MVFR ceiling projected to reach the DTW corridor around noon but
possibly not reaching MBS until closer to Friday evening.
Thunderstorm potential appears minimal through the period as surface
based instability remains south of the Ohio border and elevated
instability is weak and barely reaching DTW.
For DTW... Easterly wind continues to require NE traffic flow
operations through the period and will help hold back MVFR clouds
for a while Friday morning. MVFR then becomes established during the
afternoon with a period of IFR likely as the northern fringe of the
occluded front and triple point reach NW Ohio toward Friday evening.
.DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES...
* Low for ceiling dropping below 5000 ft Friday morning. High Friday
afternoon.
* Very low for thunderstorms Friday afternoon.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
Issued at 336 PM EDT Thu Jun 21 2018
DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions for much of MI for the remainder of today as a high
pressure slowly migrating into Quebec influences majority of the
weather today. The only exception will be low PoPs late this
afternoon/early evening across far southern tier of counties as
light showers associated with weak lift ahead of the upper level low
pivot along the southern state line. Northeasterly gradient flow and
long fetch into Inner Saginaw Bay will allow for stronger wind gusts
of 20-25 knots keeping elevated water levels and potential lakeshore
flooding along Bay County through this evening. Cooler northeasterly
flow off of Lake Huron will bring overnight low temperatures down
into the 50s for areas along and north of I-69. Low to mid 60s for
the lower portions of MI. Precipitation chances will continue to
increase across Lower MI late tonight as the closed upper low
meanders out of MO and into IL and a greater push of moisture along
an approaching occluded/warm front lifts northward.
The high pressure holding much of the precipitation towards lower MI
will begin drifting eastward tomorrow allowing for the northward
advancement of moisture and associated lift. Moisture advection will
begin to saturate the resident drier airmass. PWATs are forecast to
exceed 1.50 inches, which will create potential for periods of heavy
rainfall. Greater instability will remain to the south, but enough
CAPE will enter the area with mid level lapse rates around 6 C/km to
bring a slight chance for thunderstorms. Increasing east northeast
winds across Lake Erie with the approach of the low tonight will
bring potential for lakeshore flooding across portions of Monroe
County. Lakeshore Flood Advisory has been issued for tonight into
tomorrow morning.
The upper low will begin to weaken and pivot through IN by tomorrow
evening and become an open wave in the mid levels by Saturday. Track
of this low bring it right over MI and continue the chance for
precipitation tomorrow night into Saturday. Continued high moisture
in the atmosphere will again bring potential for brief heavy
rainfall. Saturday afternoon will see instability increase with CAPE
values reaching around 1000 J/kg, but shear and mid level lapse
rates remain weak. The increase in instability will bring a better
chance of thunderstorms for Saturday afternoon. Slow progression of
this low pressure system will continue rain chances into Saturday
night with an additional source of lift arriving with the incoming
mid level jet.
Sunday morning into Sunday afternoon: A slight chance for showers
will persist across SE MI with higher chances over the Thumb as a
weak backdoor cold front and upper-level shortwave trough push
across the region. Rain chances will quickly diminish late Sunday as
a broad surface high pressure system centered across southern
Ontario builds south into New York from 12Z Mon - 06Z Tue.
Associated subsidence from the high pressure will allow for plenty
of sunshine both Monday and Tuesday as temperatures peak in the
upper 70s (Mon) to low-mid 80s (Tue) for a daytime high.
Temperatures are expected to climb back into the mid to upper 80s
for a daytime high later this week as WAA ramps up across SE MI. The
latest 12Z ECMWF model run pushes 850 mb temperatures from an
average of 16C on 12Z Tue up to an average of 19C by 12Z Wed. The
GFS and ECMWF suites are not as aggressive with WAA so will not
advertise the chance of 90+ degrees as of yet. Otherwise, the
increase in warm and moist air in conjunction with an upper-level
trough and shortwave will bring the next chance for showers and
thunderstorms centered around the Wed 12Z - Thu 00Z timeframe.
Showalter indices ranging between 0 to -4C are forecasted as the
shortwave moves across SE MI.
MARINE...
Moderate easterly flow will persist through Friday as the region
remains between high pressure anchored over Ontario and low pressure
slowly tracking into the Ohio valley. This onshore flow will
maintain higher wave action in Saginaw Bay and the exposed nearshore
waters of the thumb through this evening. Small craft conditions
will also develop along the Michigan waters of Lake Erie as winds
increase tonight, with these conditions persisting through Friday.
Conditions may become unsettled at times Friday and Saturday, as the
increasing influence of low pressure will bring the risk of showers
along with possible thunderstorms.
HYDROLOGY...
A low pressure system now over Illinois will slowly track eastward
and into the Ohio valley through Friday. This system will then
linger near or just south of the region on Saturday. Moisture will
increase north of this system, leading to increases chances for
showers Friday through Saturday. The potential for isolated
thunderstorms will also exist. Rainfall amounts during this period
will range from one quarter to inch, with locally higher amounts
possible within any thunderstorm activity. Higher totals will
general focus south of the I-69 corridor. Some minor poor drainage
flooding of low lying and urban areas will be possible.
