NWS Marquette, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 11, 1:40 PM CST, 3 hours 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI 340 PM EDT SAT JUN 11 2005 .DISCUSSION... UPPER LEVEL PATTERN FEATURES A WESTERN CONUS TROUGH AND LARGE E CONUS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WITH H5 HEIGHTS AROUND 592DAM CENTERED OFF THE NC/SC COAST. IN BETWEEN...POCKETS OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY ARE RIDING NNE OVR THE CNTRL CONUS ALONG N-S ORIENTED FRONT AND THIS IS TRIGGERING SCATTERED CONVECTION FM OK INTO SD. POOL OF HIGHER MOISTURE IS STATIONED OVR UPR LAKES WITH PWATS FM MPX TO APX RUNNING 175-200 PCT OF NORMAL. TS ARLENE HAS NEALRY MADE LANDFALL OVR SCNTRL AL/FL PANHANDLE...WITH RADAR SHOWING ASSOCIATED PCPN ALREADY SURGING INTO MIDDLE TN RIVER VALLEY THANKS TO SSE WINDS AT H85 OF 40-50KT. AXIS OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIFTED ACROSS AREA LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTN...BUT THESE HAVE SINCE SHIFTED INTO LK SUPERIOR. A FEW SHOWERS OVR CWA ATTM BUT MAINLY SHORTWAVE RIDGING IS YIELDING CALM CONDITIONS PRESENTLY. E UPR MI IS SEEING LIONS SHARE OF SHRA/TS DUE TO LAKE BREEZE CONVERGENCE OVR N LWR MI. EXPECT THE QUIET WX TO ONLY HOLD FOR NEXT COUPLE HOURS THOUGH AS TS ARE ALREADY DEVELOPING OVR SW WI IN AREA WHERE INSTABILITY HAS BEEN MAXIMIZED TODAY AND WHERE LARGE SCALE LIFT FM PLAINS SHORTWAVE IS TEAMING TOGETHER. SPC WATCH BOX FOR ACTIVITY WITHIN A FEW COUNTIES TO SW OF IWD AND THINK AS SHORTWAVE SHIFTS N THIS EVENING THE FAR W UPR PENINSULA IS WHERE BEST CHANCE OF SHRA/TS WILL OCCUR. WARM FRONT OVR WCNTRL WI WILL TRY TO MAKE RUN INTO FAR N WI/SW UPR MI EARLY THIS EVENING. GOES DERIVED CAPE/CIN PRODUCTS INDICATES RIBBON OF 1000-1500J/KG CAPES (LESS THAN 20J/KG CIN) AHEAD OF TS ACROSS NW WI INTO FAR SW UPR MI. ENOUGH CAPE FM 0-3KM TO JUSTIFY LARGE HAIL THREAT ALTHOUGH THE NEAR 11000FT HEIGHT OF WB IS QUITE HIGH. ANY LINE SEGMENT COULD PRODUCE LOCALIZED SVR WINDS AS DELTA THETA-E VALUES NEAR 30C THIS EVENING. K-INDEX VALUES BTWN 30-35 ALSO SUPPORT GOING HEAVY RAIN THREAT. GRIDS SHOW LIKELY POPS OVR FAR W THEN TAPERING TO CHANCE INTO CNTRL/E ZONES. ACTUALLY LIKE 00Z WRF SOLN WITH LINE OF CONVECTION COMING INTO SW ZONES THEN DIMINISHING QUICKLY AWAY FM BETTER INSTABILITY. DECREASING TREND OVERNIGHT LOOKS GOOD AS PRIMARY SHORTWAVE LIFTS N OF LK SUPERIOR...LEAVING ONLY SOME WEAK ELEVATED INSTABILITY TO BE ACTED UPON BY ANY RENEGADE SMALL WAVES. LEFT THE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GOING UNTIL 13Z ON SUN. MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND TOWARD MUCH DRIER MID LEVELS LATER SUN WITH NO SHORTWAVES OF NOTE AND EVEN SHORTWAVE RIDGING PROGGED. SOME LL CONVERGENCE POSSIBLE OVR FAR SE CWA. OTHERWISE...EVEN THOUGH AFTN SBCAPES WILL LIKELY RISE WELL ABOVE 1000J/KG THINK THERE IS TOO MUCH NEG DYNAMICS AND DRY MID LEVEL AIR TO JUSTIFY ANY POPS AWAY FM THAT AREA. BLYR WINDS FM SW AT 15-25KT AND H85 TEMPS IN 15-17C RANGE SHOULD ENSURE A VERY WARM DAY WITH MAX TEMPS RISING WELL INTO THE 80S FOR MOST AREAS. MON FCST TIED TO WESTWARD EXTENT OF REMNANTS OF TS ARLENE. NAM STILL FARTHER W THAN GFS WITH SURGE OF MOISTURE REMNANTS AND THEN MERGES THIS ENERGY WITH APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVR NCNTRL CONUS. BELIEVE THAT NAM SOLN IS A BIT AGGRESSIVE AND LIKE THE IDEA OF GFS SHOWING MORE SPLIT BTWN THE TWO SOURCES OF MOISTURE/LIFT. STILL... EVEN GFS DOES BRING PCPN INTO MOST OF CWA THROUGH THE EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT. SO...EVEN THOUGH THINK NAM SOLN IS TOO BOISTEROUS WITH QPF WENT AHEAD AND EXPANDED POPS INTO ALL CWA FOR THIS PERIOD...JUST SMALL CHANCE THOUGH. EXTENDED (TUE THROUGH SAT)...AN OMEGA BLOCK APPEARS IN THE OFFING BY LATE IN THE UPCOMING WEEK. DEPENDING WHERE THE PRIMARY RIDGE AXIS SETS UP IN THIS PATTERN UPR LAKES COULD END UP WITH DRY WX FOR A LONG STRETCH STARTING LATE IN THE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND. HOW WE GET TO THE OMEGA BLOCK STILL UP FOR DEBATE. ECMWF/CANADIAN INDICATE UPR LOW THAT SHIFTS ACROSS PLAINS WEAKENS AND IS ABSOLVED BY ENERGY DROPPING INTO NORTHEAST CANADA. GFS/UKMET SUGGESTS THAT PLAINS SYSTEM IS WHAT HELPS TO DEVELOP THE BLOCK. WV LOOP AND RAOBS INDICATE THAT SYSTEM IS AGGRESSIVELY DIGGING INTO PAC NW ATTM. CONSIDERING THIS AND STRENGTH OF UPSTREAM BLOCK OVR SE CONUS...THINK RESULTING UPR LOW WILL BE SLUGGISH TO MOVE ACROSS CONUS THIS WEEK. THEREFORE...PREFER SLOWER SOLNS OF ECMWF/CANADIAN INITIALLY. EVENTUALLY RIDGE BEGINS TO REORIENT E TO W ALONG GULF COAST...SO UPR LOW WILL PROBABLY START TO SHIFT EAST QUICKER THAN ECMWF SHOWS...PER UKMET/CANADIAN. IN ALL THIS...THINK 00Z/06Z OPERATIONAL GFS IS TOO QUICK AND TOO FAR NORTH WITH THE SYSTEM. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS BY 00Z WED WHEN GFS HAS UPR LOW CENTER OVR E CNTRL WI WHILE ECMWF/UKMET/CANADIAN ARE CLUSTERED OVR N IA. BANKING ON THE FARTHER S SOLN...EXPECT BEST CHANCE OF RAIN OVR S TIER OF ZONES TUE-WED. AFTER THAT...RIDGING BEGINS TO BUILD IN. ECMWF IS SLOWER BUT STILL FARTHER S AND EVEN THE GFS IS DRY FOR THU...SO REMOVED PCPN. DRY ON OUT INTO THE WEEKEND AND PROBABLY BEYOND. COORD WITH GRB. && .MQT...WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && JLAA
