Area forecast discussion, Jul 18, 5:30 PM EST, 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 630 PM EDT MON JUL 18 2005 .AVIATION... CONVECTION AHEAD OF COLD FRONT AND COLD FRONT SLOWING DOWN A LITTLE OVER FAR SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN AS IT BECOMES MORE PARALLEL TO MID LEVEL FLOW. AS A RESULT LINGERING MVFR CIGS IN FNT AREA THROUGH 01Z AND IN DTW AREA THROUGH AT LEAST 04Z. CONVECTION WILL BE CONFINED TO DTW AREA THROUGH 02Z AS WELL. WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS MID LEVEL DRYING WORKING INTO WESTERN LOWER AND THIS WEDGE OF DRIER AIR WILL WORK INTO THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA AROUND 03Z AND DTW AROUND 06Z. THIS WILL SCOUR OUT THE REMAINING VFR CLOUD COVER. SURFACE GRADIENT BEHIND COLD FRONT FAIRLY STRONG AND DELAY IN SCOURING OUT CLOUDS SHOULD RESULT IN ONLY PATCHY FOG...SO WILL LEAVE OUT OF TAFS AT THIS TIME. WRAP AROUND MOISTURE TO WORK BACK INTO NORTHERN PORTION OF CWA AFTER 12Z...AFFECTING MAINLY FNT/MBS TAF AREAS. COMBINATION OF MOISTURE WRAPPING BACK IN AND DIURNAL CU DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A BRIEF PERIOD OF BKN CLOUD COVER IN FNT/MBS AREAS FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...HOWEVER ANTICIPATE CLOUD BASES ABOVE MVFR THRESHOLD. GOOD MIXING AFTER 12Z WILL ALSO INCREASE SURFACE WINDS TO 10 TO 15 KTS AFTER 14Z. && .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...ISSUED AT 452 PM LINE OF CONVECTION IS TRACKING EASTWARD ACROSS THE CWA AT THIS TIME. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #643 REMAINS IN AFFECT FOR AREAS AHEAD OF THIS LINE THROUGH 7 PM. RADAR CURRENTLY DEPICTS THUNDERSTORMS LOCATED FROM EASTERN LAKE HURON...ACROSS THE THUMB...TO BATTLE CREEK. THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE TRACKING EAST AS A PRE- FRONTAL TROUGH SWINGS ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF A STRONGER COLD FRONT ENTERING WESTERN WISCONSIN. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING AN IMPRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WRAPPING UP OVER NORTHERN MINNESOTA AND SW ONTARIO AT THIS TIME. THIS WAVE WILL ROTATE EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN OVERNIGHT WITH WEAK RIDGING BUILDING OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST BEHIND IT ON TUESDAY. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS EVENING THIS LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA. A COUPLE WEAK CELLS HAVE FINALLY STARTED TO DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE LINE SOUTH OF ABOUT I-96 IN AN AREA THAT HAS REACHED ALMOST 3000 J/KG OF CAPE. THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS SHOWED SOME WEAKENING OVER THE PAST HOUR WHICH MAY BE A RESULT OF UNFAVORABLE MID-LEVEL FLOW. WINDS ARE NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE COLUMN WHICH IS NOT PROVIDING GOOD MID LEVEL SUPPORT FOR THE EASTWARD PROPAGATION OF THIS LINE. DESPITE THIS...AM EXPECTING THIS LINE TO HOLD TOGETHER BRINGING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MOST OF THE AREA THROUGH EARLY EVENING BUT WE WILL NOT SEE WINDS REACHING SEVERE CRITERIA ALONG THE ENTIRE LINE OF STORMS. WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED NUMEROUS REPORTS OF TREE LIMBS DOWN ACROSS THE AREA AS WELL AS SOME POWER LINES DOWN AND WILL CONTINUE TO EXPECT STRONG WINDS TO BE THE MAIN THREAT FROM THIS LINE. HAVE BEEN WATCHING CU DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN BEHIND THE ORIGINAL LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS. WITH THE FIRST LINE MOVING THROUGH OUR NORTHWESTERN CWA SO EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON...AND DEWPOINTS RECOVERING INTO THE UPPER 60S BEHIND IT...ISOLATED SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER ALONG ANOTHER WEAK SURFACE TROUGH. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS SWINGING EASTWARD WITH A SIGNIFICANT DRY SLOT AS SEEN ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY GETTING WRAPPED UP INTO THE SYSTEM. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL STEEPEN AS HEIGHTS FALL AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH LEAVING A BRIEF FAVORABLE PERIOD FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP BEFORE DRIER AIR WORKS INTO THE MID-LEVELS. THESE SHOWERS ARE STRUGGLING TO DEVELOP AS THE UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK THAT WAS LOCATED OVER WISCONSIN THIS MORNING MOVES NORTHEAST INTO WESTERN ONTARIO. AM NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP BEHIND THE MAIN LINE BUT WILL LEAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE FORECAST UNTIL LATE THIS EVENING TO ACCOUNT FOR ANYTHING. HAVE CANCELLED THE HEAT ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON. HEAT INDICES HAVE REACHED THE UPPER 90S BUT HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF REACHING THE 100+ WE NEED TO KEEP THE ADVISORY GOING THIS EVENING. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN MUGGY UNTIL RAIN SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING. THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATE TONIGHT BUT WILL ONLY BRING MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES TO OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES FOR TUESDAY AS THE FRONT BRUSHES BY US TO THE NORTH. STILL LOOKING FOR HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S IN THE DETROIT AREA AGAIN ON TUESDAY BUT WILL EXPECT IT TO FEEL MUCH MORE PLEASANT AS DEWPOINTS DROP TO NEAR 60. OTHERWISE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES THROUGH WEDNESDAY BRINGING QUIET WEATHER TO THE REGION. && .LONG TERM...ISSUED AT 452 PM THERE HAS BEEN A TREND IN ALL THE MEDIUM RANGE SOLUTIONS IN SHOWING A LITTLE DEEPER MID LEVEL WAVE PASSING ACROSS NORTHERN ONTARIO ON THURSDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN A STRONG COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON THURSDAY. THE GFS/WRFXX SOLUTIONS ARE SHOWING AN AXIS OF HIGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT. HAVE THUS INCREASED THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO 50 PERCENT. THERE STILL LOOKS TO BE A POTENTIAL FOR A MESO SCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM TO DEVELOP WEST OF THE GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE REMNANTS OF WHICH MAY BE ABLE TO PUSH INTO LOWER MICHIGAN LATE IN THE NIGHT. AT THIS STAGE OF THE FORECAST THOUGH...WILL HOLD OFF ON POPS UNTIL THURSDAY MORNING. THE UPPER WAVE WILL CARVE OUT A DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER EASTERN CANADA AND NEW ENGLAND BY THE END OF THE WEEK AS STRONG RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL US. WITH BOTH 00Z AND 12Z MODEL SOLUTIONS HAVING TRENDED MORE AMPLIFIED WITH THE HEIGHT FIELDS... THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE THAT BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION ON FRIDAY SHOULD BE STRONGER AND BRING WITH IT COOLER AND DRYER AIR. HAVE THUS DECREASED TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS ON FRIDAY AND EVEN INTO SATURDAY ACCORDINGLY. THE RIDGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL US IS STILL EXPECTED TO BUILD INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AND SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE WRFXX SOLUTION IS AN OUTLIER IN INDICATING ANOTHER MID LEVEL WAVE MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN ONTARIO ON SATURDAY... THEREBY SENDING ANOTHER FRONT THROUGH THE REGION ON SATURDAY. AT THIS STAGE WILL GO MORE ALONG WITH GFS/EUROPEAN SOLUTIONS WHICH HAS STRONGER RIDGING BUILDING IN BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND. THERE IS ACTUALLY GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG THESE SOLUTIONS INDICATING A FAIRLY STRONG PUSH OF WARM AIR ADVECTION SATURDAY NIGHT. THINK THIS IS WORTHY OF A MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR SATURDAY NIGHT. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. LAKE HURON...NONE. LAKE ST CLAIR...NONE.
