AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI 1115 AM EDT SUN JUN 26 2005 .UPDATE.. STRONG DIFFERENTIAL HEATING GOING ON AT THIS TIME ACROSS SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN. CLOUD COVER AND SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE HOLDING BACK TEMPERATURES NORTH OF INTERSTATE 96...WHERE CURRENT VALUES ARE IN THE MID 60S TO LOW 70S. FURTHER SOUTH...TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN ABOVE 80. A TIGHT INSTABILITY GRADIENT EXISTS AS A RESULT WITH LAPS DATA SHOWING BETTER THAN 1000 J/KG CAPE IN THE WARM SECTOR. CIN VALUES ARE LOWEST JUST SOUTH OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY. WOLCOTT IN PROFILER WAS NOT AVAILABLE...BUT SOUNDINGS SHOW A SOUTHWEST FLOW IN THE WARM SECTOR AND MODEL DATA SUPPORTS A NORTHWARD LIFT OF THIS FRONTAL ZONE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. IT WILL BECOME VERY UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON SOUTH OF THE FRONT. CAPE VALUES SHOULD INCREASE TO OVER 2000 J/KG. THE SURFACE TO MID LEVEL THETA E DIFFERENCE WILL BECOME MORE THAN 20 DEG C AND THAT WILL SUPPORT ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH BRIEF DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE. THE BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH ANY DEVELOPING LAKE BREEZE. CONSIDERING THE CURRENT SOUTHEAST TO EAST FLOW...THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR SOME CONVECTION FOR THE LAKESHORE COUNTIES AS WELL. THE ONGOING FORECAST LOOKS GOOD. ANY CHANGE WILL BE MINOR. .GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && MJS
