.DISCUSSION...(Today through next Tuesday)
Issued at 324 AM EDT Wed Jun 29 2022

- A shower or storm this morning, then dry through Thursday

Leftover showers and a few storms from earlier convection in
Wisconsin will traverse the region this morning. Most locations
will get less than 0.25" but a few localized bullseyes of over
0.25" are possible. There is still a risk for a thunderstorm with
this activity given a corridor of modest elevated instability
across eastern Lake Michigan and extending into central Lower MI.

Clouds will gradually decrease throughout the day and dry conditions
will dominate through Thursday. The MSLP gradient increases on
Thursday in advance of a cold front slated to move through on
Friday. As a result, breezy conditions along with warm air advection
aloft pumping in 20C air into the region will occur. Model
guidance continues to suggest highs around 90F, though with many
locations experiencing very dry soils and vegetation lately I
would not be surprised if highs reach the low to perhaps mid 90s
away from the lake.

- Scattered showers and perhaps a few storms on Friday

A cold front is poised to move through on Friday underneath jet
entrance divergence across the region. Some surface based
instability could develop mainly near and south of I-96 during the
day. However, significant cloud cover is expected, so it is unclear
at this point how much SBCAPE will be possible. Scattered showers
appear to be the more likely scenario but a few storms are possible
nonetheless. Model guidance is not bullish on rainfall totals. Most
locations will once again skirt by with a few hundredths up to a
quarter inch, with only isolated areas getting more than a quarter
inch.

- Dry conditions should prevail this weekend, maybe into the 4th

Good confidence in dry and warm weather this weekend with seasonable
temperatures in the low to mid 80s as upper level heights build.
Winds should be fairly light as well. Ensemble guidance as well as
medium range deterministic guidance has indicated a period of
increasing PWAT values early next week as there appears to be some
synoptic support for thunderstorms / potential MCS development
across the Midwest and possibly Great Lakes region. Too many sketchy
details at this point, but there may be another risk for some
showers or thunderstorms as early as the 4th but potentially delayed
until next Tuesday or so.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
Issued at 745 AM EDT Wed Jun 29 2022

Showers and tstms with local IFR vsbys still lingering around LAN
at 12Z, but exiting by 14-15Z. Otherwise VFR weather prevailing
today with SCT-BKN clouds around 5000 ft and sfc winds turning
westerly at 6-10 kts. CLR/VFR conditions and light winds expected
tonight but winds increasing from the south overnight at MKG.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 324 AM EDT Wed Jun 29 2022

Thursday will definitely be the most active of the next several in
terms of high wave action. SSW winds increase over the lake and
waves will likely build into the 3 to 6 foot range from Holland to
the north. This is looking like a solid SCA event for this region
with beach hazards as well given it will be very warm and dry on
Thursday with an increased beach population. Watch out not only
for the wave action but also strong structural currents on the
south sides of piers. Friday through Sunday look much better on
the big lake in terms of boating and swimming in safer conditions.
