...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 245 PM CDT/345 PM 
EDT/ THIS AFTERNOON FOR NORTH CENTRAL GOGEBIC AND WEST CENTRAL 
ONTONAGON COUNTIES...

At 122 PM CDT /222 PM EDT/, doppler radar continued to show showers 
affecting the warned area. Although the showers have diminished, 
flash flooding of streams and drainage areas will continue due to 
earlier rainfall today that was estimated to range from 2.5 to as 
much as 4.5 inches in and around the Porcupine Mountains. Additional 
rainfall from scattered showers through mid afternoon may be as much 
as 0.5 inches in the warned area.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

SOURCE...Radar.

IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, roads as
         well as other poor drainage and low-lying areas.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Porcupine Mountains State Park, Bergland, Silver City, Mirror 
  Lake, White Pine, Lake of the Clouds and Clark Lake.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 
deaths occur in vehicles.

Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where 
you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become 
killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or 
creeks.

Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Marquette MI
244 PM CDT Mon Jun 13 2022

The National Weather Service in Marquette has extended the

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  North Central Gogebic County in western upper Michigan...
  West Central Ontonagon County in western upper Michigan...

* Until 445 PM CDT /545 PM EDT/.

* At 244 PM CDT /344 PM EDT/, doppler radar continued to show 
  showers affecting the warned area. Although the showers have 
  diminished, flooding of streams and drainage areas will continue 
  through late afternoon due to earlier rainfall today that was 
  estimated to range from 2.5 to as much as 4.5 inches in and around 
  the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Additional rainfall 
  from scattered showers through late afternoon may be as much as 
  0.5 inches in the warned area, and this rainfall will slow the 
  water from receding.

  HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

  SOURCE...Radar.

  IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, roads as
           well as other poor drainage and low-lying areas.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Porcupine Mountains State Park, Bergland, Silver City, Mirror 
  Lake, White Pine, Lake of the Clouds and Clark Lake.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Marquette MI
633 AM EDT Mon Jun 13 2022

.SHORT TERM...(Through early this morning)
Issued at 326 AM EDT MON JUN 13 2022

SHRAs are increasing in coverage in these overnight hours,
stretching from NW WI into NE MN and into Wrn Lake Superior.
Moist, WAA is ongoing, with the western half of the U.P.
experiencing it more so than the east. Dewpoints are a bit more
universally spread out, but a gradient certainly appears for sfc
temps, again, warmest west, coolest east. MUCAPEs are starting to
push their way into the west, albeit just high enough for
lightning chances. 0-6km effective bulk shear is also on the rise
in the west with about 35 knots or so currently being analyzed by
SPC's RAP mesoanalysis. To round out the analysis, the U.P. is
sitting on the edge of the ring of fire around ridging centered
over the SErn U.S. with an embedded shortwave riding around its
periphery. Merging it all together creates a picture of what to
expect through early this morning: increasing TS/SHRA chances in
the west, with warm temps in the west and near normal lows for the
east. Srly to SErly winds will be on a slight increase through
dawn.

.LONG TERM...(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 332 AM EDT MON JUN 13 2022

This week's active weather timeline:
1. Beneficial rain showers today, mainly across the west half.
2. Mostly dry warm front brings warm/humid air into area on Tuesday
via southerly wind gusts of 20+ mph, highest near Lake Superior.
3. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms move west to east on
Wednesday with severe storms including supercells possible.
4. Strong westerly wind gusts west half on Thursday, especially for
the Keweenaw Peninsula
5. Cooler, drier, and generally quiet weather moves in for next weekend.

Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected across
western portions of Lake Superior this morning with more isolated
SHRA/TSHRA moving east into Upper Michigan. These showers will be
forced by warm air advection ahead of a shortwave/vort max that
releases weak elevated CAPE. If the more unstable NAM solutions
pan out then some small hail is possible, but activity is likely
to stay sub-severe. Precip coverage and intensity diminishes as
forcing moves into central portions of our CWA Monday afternoon.
This is presumably due to intense thunderstorm development over
south- central Wisconsin blocking moisture transport into our CWA.
There's now good agreement amongst CAM guidance that the intense
t-storm complex developing over WI stays south/southeast of our
CWA tonight.

Monday night through Tuesday remains a low confidence forecast. The
large majority of CAMs keep our area dry thanks to a stout capping
inversion. However, there are a few CAMs (e.g. 00z 3km NAM) that
develop a thunderstorm complex that tracks east across Lake Superior
and perhaps the Keweenaw Tuesday morning. If storms develop then the
environment will be supportive of severe thunderstorms. This results
in a low probability, high-impact scenario so I broad-brushed slight
chance PoPs to cover this possibility. A warm front lifts north
across the area Tuesday afternoon allowing dew points to surge above
60F and temps may flirt with 90F across the interior west too. South
winds off Lake MI and somewhat more cloud cover should keep temps in
the 70s across the east half. Continued WAA should prevent temps
from cooling below 60F Tuesday night. A weak cold front moves into
Upper Michigan Tuesday night, but continued capping limits precip
chances to slight chance mentions.

The most active weather day this week will be Wednesday as an
energetic and negatively tilted 500 mb shortwave approaches from the
SW. This shortwave results in frontogenesis along the quasi-
stationary frontal boundary draped across our area. Storms could be
ongoing at sunrise on Wednesday, but are more likely to hold off
until the afternoon/evening. Bulk shear and CAPE parameters are more
than adequate for organized updrafts and model soundings indicate
some low level veering that could support supercells and a tornado
threat. The general model consensus suggests storms focused across
the west Wednesday afternoon then shifting east across the remainder
of our area Wednesday evening and overnight. Boosted PoPs above NBM
guidance and used PoPs instead of NBM for thunder chances between
18z Wed and 12z Thur since there is good model agreement that storms
will occur.

The active weather doesn't end with Wednesday night's storm chances
as a corridor of strong westerly winds spreads east across the Upper
Great Lakes. A drier air mass moves in on Thursday allowing for deep
mixing and efficient mixing of strong winds down to the surface.
Decided not to go too crazy with forecast wind speeds during this
time frame, but ECMWF/EFI guidance indicates potential for wind
advisory criteria. This is especially true for the Keweenaw
Peninsula where westerly winds have a long fetch off Lake Superior.
Surface ridging builds in on Friday with cooler, drier, and
generally more tranquil weather expected for the upcoming weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning)
Issued at 631 AM EDT MON JUN 13 2022

SHRAs with embedded TSs are moving into the western portions of
Upper Michigan early this morning. Both KIWD and KCMX have been
accounted for the potential via a combination of VCs and TEMPO
groups given the hit-and-miss nature of this convective activity.
Although some SHRAs could be in the KSAW area later this morning
into this afternoon, even more uncertain as to the direct impacts
to the terminal, if at all. VFR cats look to return tonight,
although there are some hints at LL stratus developing/pushing
into the area, particularly at KSAW. ESErly to SErly winds will
prevail, generally topping out at around 15 knots, but a few
higher gusts could be possible, especially in and around passing
TS/SHRAs.

&&

.MARINE...(For the 4 AM Lake Superior forecast issuance)
Issued at 332 AM EDT MON JUN 13 2022

A low pressure trough deepens across the Plains Monday and Tuesday,
increasing the pressure gradient over the Upper Great Lakes. Expect
E to NE winds across western Lake Superior and E to SE winds across
eastern Lake Superior to strengthen today. Gusts up to 25kt are
expected this afternoon through Tuesday and continuing Tuesday night
across eastern Lake Superior. A few gusts up to 30kt are likely at
high obs platforms Tuesday afternoon and evening. A trough passes
over Lake Superior Tuesday night into Wednesday when southwest winds
fall below 20kt. Strong westerly wind gusts up to 30 kts are
expected on Thursday behind a secondary trough.
