Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
342 PM EDT Sat Jul 24 2021

.DISCUSSION...

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some strong to
severe, are expected in the near term this afternoon and evening with
convection already strengthening across Mid Michigan. A midlevel
shortwave is tracking across central Lower Michigan at press time
with the surface cold front to follow this evening. Despite weaker
midlevel lapse rates - less than 6.5 C/km observed in the special 18z
DTX sounding - still plenty of instability in place with surface dew
points in the lower to mid 70s. The sounding depicted 1600 J/kg of
MLCAPE, sufficient for strong updrafts. Low- level convergence
maximizes over the next few hours while bulk shear peaks around 35 to
40 kt and allows storm organization into a broken line or several
bands that track southeast across the CWA. Meanwhile, the 18z
sounding recorded a PWAT of 1.75 inches with higher values nearing 2
inches analyzed to the north. This ensures heavy rainfall rates with
most showers/storms today.

Damaging wind gusts and torrential downpours possibly leading to
localized flooding will be the main threats today. Large hail is the
secondary threat and a tornado cannot be ruled out, especially
across the Thumb/Saginaw Bay where modeled low-level hodographs
suggest maximized SRH near the surface warm front and lakeshore. The
main threat window for the Tri-Cities and Thumb will be from now
until around 8pm, then the main threat shifts south to areas along
and south of I-69 from about 6pm to midnight. The front then ushers
out the bulk of the convection to the south and east late tonight.
Severe Thunderstorm Watch 390 is in effect until 10pm for most of
the CWA excluding the Metro Detroit area. Depending on trends later
this evening, expansion/extension into the remaining counties/marine
zones may be necessary.

Slightly less humid air moves in late tonight behind the front with
mid and upper clouds scouring out. With tonight's rainfall and a
degree of higher low-level moisture, low stratus or fog may develop
early Sunday. Dry but hot weather then prevails through the daytime
with highs nearing 90 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Lower dew
points filter in through the day which help keep afternoon heat
index values within a few degrees of the actual temp.

Deep layer northwesterly flow persists over the region heading into
the early work week as a strong ridge builds over the Rockies and
southern Plains. Monday looks to remain dry with quasi-zonal flow
overhead and broad high pressure edging in from the Ohio Valley.
Another hot day with highs in the upper 80s to around 90. Energetic
flow then sinks a bit south on Tuesday as a shortwave tracks into
the Great Lakes. This will provide the next opportunity for showers
and storms, especially during the afternoon and evening. The system
drags a slightly cooler air mass in for Wednesday before a midlevel
ridge quickly builds in and brings back higher temps. Another wave
on Thursday then brings the next chance for area-wide precip. No
significant change in the overall pattern is noted in the mid-range
guidance as the western CONUS ridge dominates through next week.

&&

.MARINE...

Several mechanisms of forcing including the ongoing passage of a
warm front and the eventual passage of a cold front will bring
widely scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms to the Great
Lakes through late tonight. Forcing ahead of the cold front will
likely bring a broken line of showers and thunderstorms across all
marine zones, specifically across the Saginaw Bay and
Central/Southern Lake Huron between 4-8PM, and Lake St Clair to Lake
Erie between 7 PM to Midnight. Scattered strong to severe storms
will be possible with all thunderstorm activity today given the
sufficient instability in place, with winds to or in excess of 34
knots, hail to an inch, and even an isolated waterspout, all in
play.

Otherwise, prior to the arrival of thunderstorm activity,
southerly sustained winds to or just above 20 knots are expected.
Passage of the front late tonight and overnight will veer wind
direction from southerly to to westerly, with the last of the
activity exiting the southern Great Lakes region around Midnight. A
weak pressure gradient will fill in behind the cold front, bringing
light winds through at least the midweek period.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

Scattered to numerous showers and storms, some strong to severe,
move southeast across the region this afternoon and evening. A humid
air mass in place means any shower/storm may be capable of producing
heavy rainfall. Isolated storms may produce rainfall rates of a half
inch to 1 inch per hour. Basin-average rainfall totals of a quarter
to half inch are forecast for most of SE Michigan through tonight
but areas that see multiple rounds of storms may see totals in
excess of 1 inch. The potential for this to occur is highest in the
Thumb region including the Port Huron vicinity. This may lead to
localized flooding of low-lying and flood prone areas. The bulk of
showers and thunderstorms will move out late tonight with Sunday
remaining dry.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
Issued at 121 PM EDT Sat Jul 24 2021

AVIATION...

The warm front has cleared the terminal corridor late this morning
with lingering areas of haze mixing out as daytime heating begins in
earnest. Some hi-res guidance tries to develop isolated showers mid-
afternoon in the warm sector however will keep mention out of TAFs
due to limited areal coverage and generally lower confidence in
these showers initiating. Better chances for precip still expected
late afternoon through the evening as a cold front sweeps in from
the upper Great Lakes. A line of scattered to numerous thunderstorms
develop ahead of the front tracking from NW to SE giving the
northern TAF sites an earlier timing window (~22-02Z). Best window
for the southern terminals will be ~00-04Z. Strong to severe storms
will be possible in the line. Torrential rainfall is likely so any
storm will be able to quickly drop vsbys in IFR territory. Rain
chances end by midnight.

For DTW... VFR conditions take hold this afternoon before a line of
storms advance into the area between 01-03Z. Some of these storms
will have the potential to be strong to severe with heavy rainfall
likely dropping vsbys down into IFR.

DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES...

* High for ceilings 5000 ft or less through tonight.

* Moderate for thunderstorms late evening/early tonight.
