What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Detroit, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 7, 2:04 PM EDT, 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 7, 2:04 PM EDT, 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
204 PM EDT Wed Jul 7 2021

.AVIATION...

The frontal boundary has drifted south this morning and now lies
just south of the I69 corridor. Convection has begun all across the
area with heavier concentration expected south of the front (PTK,
DTW, DET, YIP) this afternoon where the airmass is more unstable.
Will go with a tempo for TS for the first few hours as coverage
looks adequate already with an expected increase over the next
couple hours. Attention then turns toward the stratus/fog across Mid
MI that is expected to build southward as winds flip to the north
behind the front. Light showers or drizzle will be possible through
most of the night with this trapped low level moisture and a weak
low rippling along the front. Another period of thunderstorms will
be possible early Thursday morning as a cold front then sweeps
through the area.

For DTW...Storm coverage will increase through the afternoon across
the area. Currently watching a cluster of storms entering Southern
MI which will lift northeast toward DTW by around 19Z. Will tempo
this early cluster and then amend for any additional storms through
the evening. Another round of storms will be possible early Thursday
with a cold frontal passage.

.DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES...

* Moderate in thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.

* Low in ceilings at or below 5000 ft through mid afternoon, then
  moderate thereafter.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1126 AM EDT Wed Jul 7 2021

MORNING UPDATE...

Nearly stationary frontal boundary located roughly along the I-69
corridor this morning will provide a focus for severe storms and
possibly some flash flooding early this afternoon. An area of mainly
showers with with some embedded thunder is ongoing north of this
boundary across northern Lower Michigan, possibly clipping northern
portions of Midland/Bay Counties. The area of concern for severe
thunderstorms and flooding will be mainly south of this surface
boundary. The morning 12Z sounding came in with a 1.18 inch PWAT and
dewpoints are currently around 70 degrees south of the boundary. So
there is plenty of moisture already present. Models indicate an even
slightly greater increase of moisture/theta-e advection this
afternoon as lower level flow backs slightly more to the southwest
with the approach of a shortwave trough. This along with right
entrance jet dynamics will provide some additional larger scale
ascent to support more robust convection along and south of the
frontal boundary this afternoon/evening.

Minimal cloud cover showing on satellite this morning south of I-69
should allow daytime heating the opportunity effectively increase
instability with MLCAPEs climbing above 1500 J/kg. A dive into the
SPC mesoanalysis shows effective bulk shear values are enough to
support some thunderstorm organization. Southern portions of
southeast Michigan will have around 25-35 knots of effective shear
with 35-45 knots along the I-69 corridor. Mid level lapse rates are a
modest 5-5.5 C/km with freezing levels around 13kft. Though, there
is some more dry air aloft today compared to yesterday, so there
should be just slightly better conditions for hail production with
the more organized thunderstorms. Increasing low level lapse of 7-8
C/km will be more than sufficient to aide strong downburst winds. The
tornado threat remains very low, but cannot completely rule out a
quick spin up given the chance for isolated enhanced low level wind
shear associated with any outflow/frontal boundary interactions.

Expecting a messy slower moving multi-cell cluster type thunderstorm
day. No capping by the afternoon should allow convective initiation
in southeast Michigan to kick off from 12-2 pm with the severe
threat continuing until about 9-10 pm. A healthy diurnal cumulus
field has already developed with some weak radar echos already
showing across northern Indiana. The main threats remain damaging wet
downburst winds and localized flash flooding. The localized flash
flooding concerns will mostly be for urban locations, especially
around the greater Detroit area, that see repeated rounds of
thunderstorms.

The Storm Prediction Center morning update has expanded the Marginal
Risk to just north of the I-69 corridor and introduced a Slight Risk
that covers areas south of a line from far southern Macomb and
Oakland counties stretching west through far northwest Washtenaw.
There is also a Marginal Risk for Excessive Rainfall for all of
southeast Michigan through today.

PREV DISCUSSION...
Issued at 315 AM EDT Wed Jul 7 2021

DISCUSSION...

Our heatwave will come to an end today, although areas along and
south I-94 (arb-dtw-det) will attempt to make a run toward 90
degrees, but expected blossoming coverage of showers and
thunderstorms will probably cause temps to come up short. Nearly
stationary frontal boundary over southern Lower Michigan today
provides two concerns, severe storms and flooding rainfall.

Latest water vapor imagery showing the upper level energy/digging
trough working through the northern Plains early this morning. This
trough will continue to track southeast and amplify over the Midwest
today. This will allow for upper level PV advection/large scale
ascent over southeast Michigan this afternoon and this evening. 0-6
KM bulk shear tracking through northern Lower Michigan/central Lake
Huron will be running high for early July standards, 50+ knots.
Fortunately, areas north of I-69 will be on the cool/stable side of
the boundary, but there will be a transition zone and potential
favorable instability/shear combination along/south of I-69 to draw
concern for isolated severe storms (wet micro-bursts). Low level
winds (0-1 KM) have good directional shear, but magnitude/bulk shear
is lacking with values mostly below 10 knots. However, assuming
MLcapes reach 1500+ J/kg and with the frontal boundary in place,
would not totally rule out a rotating updraft/isolated tornado with
possible outflow boundary collision/localized enhanced low level wind
shear. The sooner we can get showers/thundestorms going during the
day, the better to help limit destabilization. An equal concern, if
not more is flooding possible in the Detroit Metro area. As the
trough digs over the Midwest, a pool of moisture looks to be advected
from western Kentucky-Tennessee/southern Mississippi River Valley,
and there is reasonable consensus this deeper moisture will clip
areas south of M-59 late today/this evening. 700 MB dew pts of at
least 3 C, with outside shot of reaching 5 C (nam/regional gem). 850
MB dew pts of 15-16 C/surface dew pts 70+ degrees will also be more
than sufficient for heavy rain with MLcapes of 1000-1500 J/kg
attempting to carry through the afternoon hours into the evening
hours as we get under right entrance forcing of the upper level jet
tonight. Hires solutions (NAM/ARW/ARW2) are surprisingly rather
subdued with the response and keeping convection highly localized and
does not give one confidence to go with a flash flood watch. Will
let the day evaluate the setup in the morning hours and issue if
necessary. The one saving grace appears to be 850-700 MB winds don't
back all that much and stay mostly west-southwest, so heavy rain
could end up being just to our east.

Showers (slight chance of thunderstorms) look to continue on Thursday
as the 500 MB trough axis is slow to move through the Central Great
Lakes, with surface low/reflection tracking through southeast
Michigan.

Shortwave tracking through northern Minnesota will re-enforce the
trough over the Great Lakes region Thursday night-Friday morning,
but with the moisture axis along the East coast, and 850-700 MB
Theta-E trough back across the western Great Lakes, low probability
of showers, although may get a modest moisture boost from Lake Huron
to at least support a slight chance for now.

Will lean toward a mostly dry Weekend as an upper level wave tracks
through the Midwest and attempts to cutoff, just far enough south.
Although it appears this system will then get booted off to the
northeast Sunday night/early next week (see 00z Euro) to support a
better chance of showers and thundestorms.

MARINE...

Northerly winds will continue in the 15-20 kt range as the region
remains between low pressure moving eastward and high pressure to
the north.  Northeasterly flow to then advect a cooler air mass over
the marine waters Wednesday and Thursday, accompanied by a
strengthening wind field aloft as low pressure approaches from the
east, which will allow for stronger gust potential in excess of 20
kts. Onshore wave action in the wake of northeasterly flow will
allow building wave heights as well, in which a combination of these
wind and wave conditions may be hazardous to small crafts late
Wednesday into Thursday. This advancing low will also contribute to
a continuation of shower/thunderstorm chances in the Wednesday-
Thursday timeframe across the central Great Lakes before departing
late week.

HYDROLOGY...

Moisture laden airmass with buildup of instability today will
present a heavy rain threat this afternoon through tonight, as
surface boundary hangs over southeast Michigan as well. It appears
areas along/south of M-59/Detroit Metro area will have the best
opportunity for multiple rounds of thunderstorms/heavy showers, with
localized rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches possible this afternoon
through tonight. This amount of rain in a short period of time could
lead to localized flash flooding in the urbanized areas of metro
Detroit. Otherwise, basin average rainfall is expected to hold in
the half inch to one inch range, and widespread flooding is not
anticipated.  Additional showers are expected on Thursday, but basin
average rainfall should remain under half an inch.
