NWS Detroit, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 8, 3:25 AM EST, 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 425 AM EDT WED JUN 8 2005 .SHORT TERM... TODAY AND TONIGHT SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SEEN BY MODELS LURKING NEAR OR JUST TO THE NORTH OF FORECAST AREA TODAY THEN LIFTING TO THE NORTH OVERNIGHT. MODELS DEPICT OVERALL MID LEVEL RISING HEIGHTS...AS PER 500 MB...WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGING THROUGH TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH PUNCTUATED AT TIMES BY WEAK VORTICITY IMPULSES. DEEPER MOISTURE RATHER LIMITED AS PER GOOD MODEL CONSENSUS THROUGH TONIGHT...WHILE 925 MB MOISTURE MODEST AT BEST TODAY THEN A LITTLE BETTER TONIGHT. OCCASIONAL MODEST LOW TO MID LEVEL OMEGA LIFT INTO TONIGHT...WITH WEAK QVECTOR CONVERGENCE AT TIMES INTO TONIGHT MAINLY NORTH...AS IS THE CASE WITH SURFACE CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH FRONT. CONTINUED UNSTABLE TODAY AND TONIGHT...BOTH SURFACE BASED AND ELEVATED INDICES. MINIMAL CHANGES TO EARLIER FORECASTS...WILL MENTION SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND CHANCE OR SLIGHT CHANCE TONIGHT. EVEN SOUTH OF THE FRONT...THERE WILL BE ENOUGH BOUNDARIES AROUND...SUCH AS OLD OUTFLOWS...TO PROVIDE FOCUS FOR CONTINUED CONVECTION. EXISTING TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE TWEAKED VERY MUCH...ANOTHER WARM DAY ESPECIALLY SOUTH. && .LONG TERM... ACTIVE PATTER CONTINUES THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH THE MIDWEST BETWEEN AN AMPLIFYING WESTERN TROUGH AND A BUILDING BERMUDA HIGH. FORECAST DETAILS REMAIN TRICKY DUE TO POOR HANDLING OF CONVECTION...WITH FEEDBACK CONTINUING TO BE A PROBLEM IN BOTH THE NAM AND GFS. TREND DOES FAVOR SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN REMAINING ON THE WARM/MOIST SIDE OF A QUASI-STATIONARY BAROCLINIC ZONE STRETCHING FROM THE PLAINS THROUGH THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES. AS FAR AS STABILITY GOES...NAM/GFS CONTINUE TO BE OVERDONE WITH CAPE DUE TO INFLATED SURFACE DEWPOINTS THAT CONTINUE TO BE AT LEAST 5F TOO HIGH. FOR THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT...NOT ALL THAT IMPRESSED WITH PRECIP CHANCES. DECENT INSTABILITY INDICATED...EVEN ACCOUNTING FOR THE HIGH DEWPOINT BIAS. HOWEVER UPPER SUPPORT IS WELL REMOVED FROM SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN...WITH THE NOSE OF THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS REMAINING OVER THE CWA. SOME ENHANCED SURFACE CONVERGENCE ALONG A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WHICH MAY BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER STORMS GIVEN THE PRESENT INSTABILITY. HOWEVER FORECAST SOUNDINGS FROM THE NAM/GFS BOTH HINT AT A WEAK MID-LEVEL CAP PRESENT...WHICH MAY CONTINUE TO INHIBIT CONVECTION. WILL KEEP THE LOW CHANCE POPS GOING...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. WILL ALSO BUMP TEMPS UP A BIT ON THURSDAY...GIVEN A STILL RATHER WARM AIRMASS AND LIMITED PRECIP POTENTIAL...ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE A FAR AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER ESPECIALLY WITH BETTER MOISTURE DURING THE AFTERNOON. BETTER SURFACE TROUGH DEPICTED ACROSS THE REGION ON FRIDAY...WITH ABUNDANT DEEP MOISTURE AVAILABLE AS WELL. SOMEWHAT CONCERNED ABOUT THE NAM SOLUTION...WITH DEVELOPS A STRONGER LOW-LEVEL JET THAT HELPS TO PUMP ADDITION MOISTURE INTO THE REGION AND PROVIDE A BETTER A BETTER FOCUS FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT. NAM APPEARS TO OVERDEVELOP A SURFACE WAVE ACROSS WISCONSIN...A RESULT OF CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK FROM A COMPLEX OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS. GFS HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM...BUT IS FARTHER NORTHWEST /ACROSS MINNESOTA INSTEAD OF WISCONSIN/. EXPECT THERE SHOULD BE AN INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES...BUT NOT QUITE AS STRONG OF A SURFACE WAVE. NAM/GFS ALSO INDICATE MUCH LESS INSTABILITY ACROSS THE REGION...WHICH ACTUALLY COULD BE TAKEN AS A POSITIVE FOR PRECIP POTENTIAL. BOTH MODELS ARE NOT AS CAPPED AS EARLIER IN THE WEEK...AND DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM TRIGGERING THEIR CONVECTIVE SCHEMES AND CONSEQUENTLY CONVECT OUT THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY. WILL KEEP HIGH SCATTERED POPS GOING...WITH LIMITING FACTORS STILL CENTERED AROUND LIMITED UPPER SUPPORT DUE TO THE OVERDEVELOPMENT UPSTREAM. NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. MAIN FRONT REMAINS UPSTREAM THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE HOLDING ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. WILL KEEP LOW CHANCE TSRA GOING THROUGH MONDAY. GFS SOLUTION WOULD ARGUE FOR KEEPING POPS IN ANOTHER PERIOD...UNTIL A STRONGER WAVE FINALLY PULLS THE FRONT THROUGH. THE ECMWF/DGEX CONTINUE TO BE MUCH SLOWER THAN THE GFS...AND HOLD THE SYSTEM UPSTREAM UNTIL MORE OF A WEDNESDAY TIMEFRAME. HOWEVER...THE ECMWF/DGEX ALSO SURGE THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BACK INTO THE REGION FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK...BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIP MID-WEEK. GIVEN THE DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY TO THE OVERALL PATTERN...WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED AT THIS POINT. && .AVIATION...118 AM EDT WED JUN 8 2005 CEILING AND VISIBILITY WILL BE VFR FOR AVIATION INTERESTS TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE MVFR CEILING AND IFR VISIBILITY WITH A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. PLAN TO KEEP THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE FORECAST OVERNIGHT FOR ANY STORMS THAT MAY TRAIL INTO THE SAGINAW VALLEY ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPLEX OVER WISCONSIN. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF STORMS REDEVELOPING OVER SOUTHERN LOWER LATER IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE LARGE AREA OF STORMS FROM ABOUT THE STRAITS INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN WILL TEND TO STAY FOCUSED ALONG AND NORTH OF THE SURFACE FRONT TONIGHT AS THE STORMS ARE DRIVEN BY THE LOW LEVEL JET AND ASSOCIATED THETA-E ADVECTION ALONG WITH SOME UPPER JET SUPPORT. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT SOME DIMINISHING STORMS WILL SETTLE INTO THE SAGINAW VALLEY TOWARD SUNRISE AS THE SURFACE FRONT LINGERS JUST NORTH OF THAT AREA. FARTHER SOUTH IN SE MICHIGAN, THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS REMAINS AS SOME EVIDENCE OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS SHOWN OVER NORTHERN INDIANA. A FEW STORMS HAVE BEEN BUBBLING IN THAT AREA UNDER WEAK FORCING. EXPECT THAT INCREASED LOW LEVEL FLOW AND ACCOMPANYING LOW LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION WILL BE CAPABLE OF DESTABILIZING THE ATMOSPHERE ENOUGH FOR A CHANCE OF STORMS AROUND SE MICHIGAN LATER IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
