What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at May 27, 6:56 AM EDT, 2 hours 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 27, 6:56 AM EDT, 2 hours 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI 656 AM EDT Thu May 27 2021 .AVIATION... Cirrus will overspread the area and thicken today with mid clouds then working into the area by late afternoon/early evening in advance of an approaching shortwave. Ceilings will lower into tonight with rain becoming more widespread late evening into the overnight hours as this wave encroaches on the area. Expect MVFR cigs to develop. Light northeast winds under 10 knots today will also increase this evening/tonight with gusts near 20 knots by early Friday morning. This will be especially true for KMBS where the wind will funnel down Saginaw Bay. For DTW...VFR conditions will deteriorate after 06z tonight as rain begins to overspread the area. Cigs will lower to MVFR with time with these conditions continuing into Friday when IFR cigs are not out of the question. Northeast winds will also steadily increase this evening into Friday with gusts to 25 knots or more by Friday morning. .DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES... * Medium for ceilings aob 5000 feet after by 06z, high after 09z or so. && .PREV DISCUSSION... Issued at 405 AM EDT Thu May 27 2021 DISCUSSION... A dry, clear, and crisp morning across the area as strong AVA worked in overnight to allow surface high pressure to build in from the northwest. This dry period will continue through much of the daylight hours today as cloud cover gradually increases ahead of the next inbound system. While cold advection from yesterday's cold front effectively tapers off this morning, a light but persistent northeast flow off Lake Huron will help keep temperatures cool today. High temps only reach the 50s in the Thumb and Saginaw Bay areas while most of the rest of southeast Michigan sees 60s today. Normal highs for late May reside in the lower 70s. Rain returns to the forecast late today into early Friday as the upper low currently over the northern High Plains tracks ESE into the mid-Mississippi Valley tonight and then along the stalled frontal boundary over the Ohio Valley on Friday. This system engages the elevated frontal surface draped over our area and offers categorical rain chances as solid fgen and deformation forcing slide overhead. With the degree of dry air in place this morning, uncertainty remains regarding how quickly the column can saturate later today. A number of recent solutions show a corridor of isentropic ascent spreading into northern/central Lower MI and bringing showers as early as this afternoon to the Tri-Cities area. Will maintain chance mention for this period before the better likelihood for area-wide rain arrives after sunset. The period of steadiest rain looks to be centered on a 4am to 12pm window Friday when the best jet streak dynamics arrive and ramp up synoptic lift over the region. With the center of the surface low tracking just to the south, a stout northeast wind develops locally and keeps conditions cool and raw during this period - temps in the 40s. Thunderstorms are generally not expected with forecast soundings not showing much in the way of elevated instability, but a rumble or two may be possible near the Ohio border. The rain slowly tapers off by mid-afternoon as the better forcing advances eastward, but cloud cover will remain abundant and temps only recover a bit during the afternoon - highs in the lower 50s. The upper low swings around southern Lake Michigan Friday evening and decelerates as it attempts to pinch off from the northern stream. This keeps an inverted trough pointed toward the southern forecast area through Friday night and possibly into Saturday - keeping at least a slight chance of additional light rain in the forecast. Temperatures rebound a bit on Saturday into the lower 60s as a thermal trough still lingers over the Great Lakes. Aggressive height rises then build in on Sunday with broad high pressure encompassing the region into Monday, ensuring a dry latter half of the holiday weekend. Temperatures rebound back to near-normal values for the early week. MARINE... Northwest flow in the wake of Wednesday evenings cold front will keep wave action elevated through the morning hours. High pressure building into the region out of central Canada will cause winds to relax and waves to subside allowing the small craft advisory to end. The next chance for unsettled weather will come tonight and Friday as a low pressure system passes eastward through the Ohio Valley. The warm front will stay south of Lake Erie which would result in an enhancement of the northeast winds already ongoing and elevated waves building along shoreline areas. A Gale Watch has been issued for the western Lake Erie nearshore waters as the northeast winds look to gust to around 35 kts on Friday. HYDROLOGY... Area-wide rain spreads in this evening and slowly tapers off on Friday as a low pressure system moves through the Ohio Valley. Latest trends have led to increased forecast rainfall amounts with most areas now expected to see a half inch to one inch of rainfall by late Friday afternoon. Some areas may exceed one inch depending on where the most persistent showers set up. The steadiest rainfall rates are expected between 4am and 12pm Friday. The long duration of the rainfall will limit flooding concerns to just ponding of water on area roads and in poor drainage areas. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE.
