Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
308 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

.NEAR TERM...(Through Tonight)
Issued at 307 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

...Isolated severe storms possible this afternoon and early
evening...

High Impact Weather Potential: Scattered thunderstorms possible this
afternoon - tonight. Isolated severe storms possible.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Early this afternoon, closed upper level
low pressure sits over southwest WI with an attendant surface low
nearly vertically stacked over central WI. Occluded/warm front
draped across southeast WI and southern MI with a cold front arcing
southwestward through the mid-MS Valley. The entirety of this system
slowly shifts east through tonight with sfc low pressure expected to
become centered near MBL/CAD/LDM by 12z Monday. Plume of impressive
deep layer moisture continue to advect across northern lower
Michigan this afternoon with pwats climbing above 1.50" (+1 to 2 SD
above the late June climatological mean). Increasing large scale
dynamics will also continue to work into the forecast area this
afternoon through tonight with accompanying much needed rain
chances.

Primary Forecast Concerns: Shower and thunderstorm evolution through
tonight. Severe potential?

Overall, still looks favorable for some much needed rain across
northern Michigan this afternoon into tonight. As was alluded to
above, PWs currently in the process of spiking above 1.30-1.60"+
with latest guidance derived soundings displaying deep moisture
extending through much of the column, most notably this afternoon
through early evening. Showers/storms already expanding in coverage,
especially across the southwestern half of the forecast area where
best convergence is collocated with deep moisture advection.
Anticipate this convection will expand northeast with time over the
next several hours with embedded thunder likely. Latest hi-res suite
of guidance suggests additional/more robust thunderstorm development
across southwest and south-central MI over the next couple hours.
These storms may clip southern areas of the forecast area through
mid-evening.  Pockets of deeper moisture/forcing continue to
pinwheel across the area through tonight with additional waves of
scattered showers and a few storms.

With respect to severe weather chances, the main threat continues to
look displaced to our south (evidenced by SPC's latest Day 1
outlook), although isolated severe storms remain possible locally
given deep layer shear circa 30-35 kts...just enough to support
decent updraft organization as showers and embedded storms sweep
through this afternoon/evening. Still think isolated severe wind
gusts are the primary threat...mainly along/south of M-32, although
a couple instances of large hail seem feasible. An isolated tornado
can't entirely be ruled out as well given decent low-level
directional shear sampled on APX's VAD wind profile, and both 0-1
and 0-3km SRH exceeding 200 m2/s2. Any severe threat pretty well
ends by late evening, but still enough instability to carry
thunderstorm chances into the overnight hours. Severe Thunderstorm
Watch #375 valid until 23z.

In terms of rainfall amounts, still expecting that pretty much
everywhere picks up measurable rainfall by Monday morning. While
transient, the best deep convection chances remain confined to
northern lower with localized 1"/hr rainfall rates in any
thunderstorms. In general, 0.25-0.75" of rain expected this
afternoon through tonight, with locally heavier amounts possible
across northern lower where chances are highest for repeated rounds
of convection.

Low temperatures tonight bottoming out in the 60s area-wide.&&

.SHORT TERM...(Monday through Wednesday)
Issued at 307 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

...Additional Much Needed Rainfall...

High Impact Weather...None is expected.

No major changes to the forecast with the well advertised very slow
moving upper level low bringing additional showers and possibly
embedded thunderstorms to the area Monday into at least part of
Tuesday. One notable change in the majority of the guidance is for a
faster departure of this system so will diminish pops from west to
east Tuesday afternoon (and would not be surprised if it turned out
to be mainly rain free). Light wind fields aloft in combination with
limited daytime driven instability (upwards of 700 j/kg of 0-1 km
mixed layer cape), deep moisture (precipitable water values of
around 1.5 inches) and wrap around moisture could lead to locally
heavy rain producing showers Monday afternoon. Flooding is not a
concern at this point due to the moisture deprived soils in place
but ponding of water on sides of roadways is always a possibility.
Additional rainfall amounts for Monday into Tuesday are expected to
average between a quarter and a half inch but some spots (mainly
along and south of M-72) could see an inch or more (much of which is
likely to fall Monday afternoon). Drier air in sync with increasing
ridging at the surface and aloft Tuesday night into Wednesday should
lead to clearing skies and warming daytime temperatures. Highs
Monday in the muggy upper 60s to low 70s, the mid 60s to low 70s
Tuesday then the low and mid 70s Wednesday. Lows Monday night in the
mid 50s to low 60s then noticeably cooler Tuesday night with lows in
the 40s to low 50s.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 307 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

...Warmer; More Rain Chances, Late week and Early Next Weekend...

Energy evident on water vapor imagery hanging out across the
Montana/southern Alberta/southern Saskatchewan region will take its
time emerging into the Plains toward midweek before reaching the
Great Lakes region late in the week into early next weekend (perhaps
lingering even longer). Extended guidance differs on the timing of
this feature but consensus is that the best chance for showers
across northern Michigan will be Friday into Saturday with perhaps
slight chances arriving as early as Thursday and lingering into
Sunday. This system is still way out in time so hopefully we can pin
down the details as we get a little closer. Highs in the upper 70s
and low 80s Thursday and Friday then the mid 70s to near 80 for both
Saturday and Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 122 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

Prevailing VFR conditions expected to continue through early
evening, although thickening clouds and increasing shower/storm
chances will be the rule. Any thunderstorms will be capable of
briefly gusty winds and vis restricting rains. Lowering CIGS to MVFR
and perhaps eventually IFR expected tonight into early Monday
morning. Southeast winds through tonight, a bit breezy this
afternoon and early evening.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 307 PM EDT Sun Jun 25 2023

East-southeast winds continue this afternoon, perhaps with a few
gusts near small craft advisory criteria -- especially across the
Straits. Winds become north and further increase in speed later
Monday through Tuesday as low pressure works its way slowly east of
the area. Likely to see advisory level conditions on at least some
of our nearshore waters during this period, with the strongest winds
targeting northern Lake Michigan. Scattered to numerous showers this
afternoon through Tuesday, with some embedded thunderstorms likely.
