AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI 350 PM EDT WED JUN 29 2005 .SHORT TERM... THROUGH THIS EVENING UNSTABLE CONDITIONS CONTINUE AND SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO FORM. WHILE INSTABILITY IS DEEP AND SOME WEAK BOUNDARIES AROUND...THE STORMS HAVE REMAINED BELOW SEVERE LEVELS IN SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN. WILL STILL NEED TO MONITOR THE STORMS CLOSELY AS CAPE VALUES ARE OVER 2000 J/KG AND THERE IS NO NEGATIVE AREA ON THE SOUNDING. WILL HOLD ONTO THE CHANCE PROBABILITIES FOR THE EVENING. LATER TONIGHT...THE LOW LEVEL JET APPROACHES FROM ILLINOIS. THIS SYSTEM WILL LIKELY KEEP THE POSSIBILITY OF STORMS GOING THROUGH THE NIGHT HERE IN SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN. DEPENDING ON HOW THE UPSTREAM CONVECTION EVOLVES THIS EVENING SOME STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD PUSH THROUGH LAKE MI AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE COLD FRONT IS TO PUSH THROUGH ON THURSDAY. A PREFRONTAL SQUALL LINE IS EXPECTED TO FORM HERE IN SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON...THEN TRACK QUICKLY EAST. DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE PRIMARY THREAT AS THE MID LEVEL JET ARRIVES IN THE AFTERNOON. WITH SOME HEATING WE SHOULD SEE CAPE VALUES CLIMBING TO AT LEAST 2000 J/KG. SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES. MUCH DRIER AND COOLER AIR ARRIVES THURSDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUES INTO FRIDAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED. .LONG TERM... THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH AN AREA OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVING TO THE EAST JUST SOUTH OF MICHIGAN. LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY... A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS PROGGED TO MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS WISCONSIN AND THE UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN. THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE SOMEWHAT IN DANGER OF BEING CUT OFF FROM THE GULF MOISTURE INITIALLY. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT COULD HANG UP JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA AS A STATIONARY FRONT AND COULD RESULT IN A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. LITTLE CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE FORECAST DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE MODELS. .GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && MJS IOD
