Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 3:18 PM EDT, 3 hours 37 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Marquette MI 318 PM EDT Tue Jun 8 2021 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 256 PM EDT TUE JUN 8 2021 Boundaries galore today as Upper Michigan has seen a few isolated showers and thunderstorms develop. First was across the central with remnant outflow from the western MCS late last night. This storm decayed, leaving an outflow for additional storms to fire on across Alger County. Finally a few more along the Lake Michigan lake breeze, which sustained a small cell for a while in Menominee, but quickly fell apart as lake breeze pushed through. Models are still suggesting some convection to fire off across the central late this afternoon. Evidence of the Lake Michigan lake breeze can be seen across the central, with some cu starting to show up on GOES. A Lake Superior breeze should be developing soon as well, which should bring some additional convergence. Depending on what model soundings you believe (I'm leaning towards the drier solns given lake of diurnal cu), there is a small cap in play that may need the boundary to initiate convection. If there's no conv., am thinking there will be no CI as well. Even if storms to initiate, there's little to no shear to play with as well to keep these storms going, unless a storm latches on to a boundary. We should know in the next hour or so if storms will occur or not. Tonight, storm development early on will be key to see how long convection lingers. Cold pool and outflow boundaries will be required to kick off add'l convection given no upper-level support and a warm front draped across MN/WI to our south. With some increased low-level moisture and ongoing fog already over the lakes, seems like some inland fog will develop tonight, particularly across the central and east...and with the Keweenaw with some upslope. For tomorrow, another day that is more or less the same as today and yesterday. The exception will be as the ridge builds as the warm front lifts northward, a ridge of sfc high pressure shifts into ern Ontario, which brings an eastern wind component across the east. Did lower Tds just a bit that way to account for this, and pcpn isn't expected either. Models suggest the only chc for pcpn will be across the wern interior in the afternoon as some add'l lake breezes and diurnal heating occur. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 316 PM EDT TUE JUN 8 2021 Continuing with the broad ridging over the eastern two thirds of the CONUS to start out the extended forecast. A weak wave traveling over the top of this ridge will conjure up some showers and a few thunderstorms for Thursday into Friday. A much better defined short wave will move through southern Canada over the weekend. Upper Michigan will get strafed by this wave... again resulting in showers and isolated thunderstorms for Saturday. This short wave will help dig a trough over the eastern US with a pronounced ridge developing over the western plains beginning next week. So next week appears at this time will be dominated by a large amplitude pattern that is not very progressive. This doesn't really help with producing precipitation, but will moderate temperatures closer to normal. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 143 PM EDT TUE JUN 8 2021 VFR conditions should prevail at KIWD/KCMX/KSAW thru this evening. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are still expected to develop across central Upper Michigan, but most activity is expected to remain south of SAW, so SAW only has VCTS. Fog looks likely at KCMX and KSAW tonight with light easterly flow and low-level moisture. There is some uncertainty on how low vsbys go though. Looks like IFR is likely at SAW, with MVFR/IFR at CMX. There is an outside chance at LIFR vsbys at CMX. Some patchy ground fog at IWD is expected as well. && .MARINE...(For the 4 PM Lake Superior forecast issuance) Issued at 256 PM EDT TUE JUN 8 2021 Marine fog has developed and is expected to linger through much of this week as a warm, humid airmass is in place. If any pcpn moves over the lake, add'l development is likely. Tonight, models suggest some more fog development as low-level moisture increases. Hard to say how dense it gets given lake of pcpn. Otherwise winds of 20 kts or less are expected through the longterm period. && .MQT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Upper Michigan... None. Lake Superior... None. Lake Michigan... Dense Fog Advisory until 8 AM EDT Wednesday for LMZ248-250. && SHORT TERM...JAW LONG TERM...KFM AVIATION...JAW MARINE...JAW
