Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 2:34 PM EDT, 3 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Marquette MI 234 PM EDT Sun Jul 1 2018 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 234 PM EDT SUN JUL 1 2018 Upper air pattern consists of a 500 mb 500 mb ridge in the ern U.S. with a trough across the central and northern plains. There is a shortwave moving through the trough that will be affecting the upper Great Lakes this afternoon into this evening and this moves into Canada on Mon. The pcpn will move out this evening over most of the cwa with drier air moving in late tonight, then quiet weather for Mon. It will be less humid on Mon as well. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 234 PM EDT SUN JUL 1 2018 No changes from the previous forecast. Weather of significance in the long term is heat and humidity into Thu, then possibly some stronger convection around the Thu time frame. Upper ridging and southern low level flow will continue the heat and humidity. Tue through Thu will see highs in the 80s to around 90 with dew points in the 60s to around 70. This should result in heat indices from the mid 80s to mid 90s. Models continue to show a shortwave rolling across Canada, dropping a cold front through the area generally in the Thursday time frame. Depending on timing and numerous other details, this could result in stronger convection, but at least scattered general convection regardless. Otherwise, more seasonable temperatures can be expected for Friday through next weekend. Dry high pressure is expected to dominate this time period, so any rain chances will be minimal at best. No major changes were needed from the model consensus. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 121 PM EDT SUN JUL 1 2018 A frontal boundary moving through Upper Michigan this afternoon into the evening will bring another round of showers and thunderstorms into the area. Brief periods of very gusty winds and some hail may develop with the stronger storms at SAW. However, the timing and location of the impacts remain uncertain. MVFR cigs are expected with the areas of rain with the potential for some IFR conditions over the west into this evening. Drier air moving in behind the front will bring improvement to VFR overnight. && .MARINE...(For the 4 PM Lake Superior forecast issuance) Issued at 234 PM EDT SUN JUL 1 2018 The very warm, humid air sliding over the relatively cool waters of Lake Superior, will support widespread fog through Mon morning. The fog could become locally dense where rainfall occurs. Winds should remain below 20 knots into the middle of the week. && .MQT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Upper Michigan... Beach Hazards Statement until 8 PM EDT this evening for MIZ014. Lake Superior... None. Lake Michigan... None. && SHORT TERM...07 LONG TERM...Titus AVIATION...07 MARINE...07
