AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI 1033 AM EDT MON JUN 19 2006 .UPDATE...A SERIES OF LOW LEVEL BOUNDARIES WILL BE MOVING THRU THE FORECAST AREA IN THE NEXT 12 HOURS. INITIAL COLD FRONT APPEARS TO HAVE JUST MOVED THRU MBL AT 10AM...WITH A SLIGHT BACKING OF THE WIND AND THE DEW POINT DROPPING FROM 61 TO 57F. DEWS ARE IN THE LOWER 60S AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY...WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE SOUTH OF M-32. FURTHER NORTH...MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS PREVAIL AS VORT MAX SWINGS THRU EASTERN UPPER...WITH ACCAS PRODUCING A FEW SPRINKLES/LIGHT SHOWERS. THE CLEAR MAIN CONCERN IS WHETHER DEEP CONVECTION CAN FORM ALONG THE COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. IT/S A CLASSIC RACE SITUATION...WE SEE THIS A NUMBER OF TIMES EACH SUMMER...CAN STORMS FIRE BEFORE FORCING EXITS/DRYING ENTERS. MOST TIMES LITTLE OR NOTHING HAPPENS...BUT THIS SETUP LOOKS BETTER THAN MOST. 12Z GRB SOUNDING HAD A LITTLE MORE SUB-850MB MOISTURE THAN APX RAOB DID...SO BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE WILL NOT MIX OUT MUCH UNTIL AFTER FROPA. AN 80/60 PARCEL SUPPORTS AN MLCAPE OF 1400J/KG (DEWS IN THE UPPER 50S WOULD PRODUCE A SKINNY 1K J/KG OF MLCAPE). AS LONG AS WE STAY THAT HUMID (AND WE SHOULD)...WE SHOULD GET BY THE WEAK CAP AT 610MB). 500MB WINDS 25-30KT...AND 0-6KM BULK SHEAR 15-20KT...ARE A LITTLE TOO STRONG FOR CLASSIC PULSE STORMS...BUT STILL A BIT WEAK FOR WELL ORGANIZED CONVECTION. BEST INSTABILITY AND FORCING WILL COME TOGETHER IN THE SE ZONES... ESPECIALLY SE OF AN HTL/APN LINE. WILL LIMIT HIGHER (SCT) POPS TO THOSE AREAS. MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL IS THE MAIN THREAT...WITH WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS BETWEEN 9K AND 10K FEET...AND RELATIVELY MOIST AIR ALOFT LIMITING WIND POTENTIAL SOMEWHAT (THOUGH A FEW DECENT WET MICROBURSTS ARE POSSIBLE). FURTHER NW...LIMITED INSTABILITY AT FROPA WILL PREVENT ANYTHING MORE THAN A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS. THICKER CLOUD COVER UPSTREAM IN NW WI WILL ARRIVE LATE IN THE DAY IN EASTERN UPPER/NW LOWER MI. ZOLTOWSKI && .PREV DISCUSSION ISSUED 422 AM MON JUN 19... SFC ANALYSIS SHOWING PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH/DEWPOINT BOUNDARY WORKING ACROSS THE CWA EARLY THIS MORNING...WHILE MAIN COLD FRONT NOW SLIPPING DOWN THROUGH WESTERN UPPER MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN. 00Z UPPER AIR AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REVEALING SHORTWAVE MOVING OUT OF EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR...INTERACTING WITH DEWPOINT BOUNDARY WHICH PROMPTED LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS UPPER MICHIGAN INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. PRECIP HAS PRETTY MUCH ENDED WITH DEPARTURE OF INITIAL WAVE. UPSTREAM...MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS DROPPING THROUGH ONTARIO/MINNESOTA IN BEHIND THE MAIN SFC FRONT...WITH WRAP AROUND MOISTURE ACROSS THIS AREA PRODUCING ADDITIONAL LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS THE ARROWHEAD OF MN AND WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR. FORECAST ISSUES IN THE SHORT TERM REVOLVE AROUND SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AS MID LEVEL TROUGH/SFC FRONT COME THROUGH. FIRST OFF...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...NOT MUCH NOW OCCURRING PRECIP WISE WITH DEPARTURE OF INITIAL WAVE. BUT...KEEPING AN EYE ON DEWPOINT BOUNDARY INCHING ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN AS WELL AS SMALL POCKET OF SHOWERS/THUNDER COMING ACROSS CENTRAL WISCONSIN. MAY NOT AMOUNT TO MUCH THIS MORNING...BUT WILL KEEP A LOW CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ACROSS THE SW PORTION OF THE CWA EARLY ON TO COVER ANYTHING THAT SNEAKS INTO THE AREA. OTHERWISE WILL START THE FORECAST OFF DRY ACROSS THE REST OF THE CWA FOR A FEW HOURS THIS MORNINGS. THEN...UPSTREAM MID LEVEL TROUGH/SFC FRONT AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FORECAST TO SWING INTO EASTERN UPPER MICHIGAN LATER IN THE MORNING...THEN ACROSS NRN LOWER MICHIGAN DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WILL BE SOMEWHAT OF A RACE BETWEEN SOME DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR SPREADING W-E INTO THE CWA BEHIND THE INITIAL DEWPOINT BOUNDARY (SFC DEWPOINTS DROPPING BACK INTO THE 50S IN WISCONSIN) AND SYNOPTIC FORCING/DIFFERENTIAL COOLING ALOFT ARRIVING WITH THE TROUGH. MODIFIED AFTERNOON SOUNDINGS FOR TEMPS AROUND 80F AND SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 50S GENERATING BETWEEN 500 AND 1000 J/KG MLCAPE VALUES... GREATEST OVER THE FAR EASTERN PORTION OF NRN LOWER MICHIGAN. NOT AN ABUNDANCE OF LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WITH THE FRONT AS SFC WINDS MAY VEER A BIT INTO THE WEST BEHIND THE INITIAL BOUNDARY. BUT OVERALL SYNOPTIC FORCING FROM THE TROUGH AND DIFFERENTIAL COOLING ALOFT JUSTIFIES AT LEAST SCT POPS FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AS FAR AS ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE CONCERNED: AGAIN BEST INSTABILITY AND CHANCES FOR THUNDER LOOKING TO BE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND NE LOWER MICHIGAN. OVERALL WIND FIELDS DROP OFF THIS MORNING WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES GOING BLO 20 KNOTS. SO NOT ANTICIPATING WELL ORGANIZED STORM DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...WITH FREEZING LEVELS AROUND 10.5K FEET CERTAINLY CANNOT RULE THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED SEVERE HAIL...PARTICULARLY ACROSS NE LOWER MICHIGAN WHERE CAPE VALUES WILL BE RUNNING HIGHEST. SO...WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THREAT TODAY IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. LATER TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...BEHIND THE FRONT...HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER AIR STILL ON TRACK TO BUILD IN ACROSS NRN MICHIGAN. SO A DRY FORECAST LOOKS GOOD ALONG WITH VARYING DEGREES OF CLEARING TONIGHT AND MAINLY SUNNY SKIES ON TUESDAY. WITH THAT SAID HOWEVER...NAM/GFS BOTH SHOWING ANOTHER MID LEVEL WAVE DROPPING DOWN THROUGH ONTARIO OVERNIGHT AND BRUSHING UPPER MICHIGAN TUESDAY MORNING. BUT WITHIN THE COLD/DRY ADVECTION REGIME...LITTLE OR NO FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE AND AM NOT ANTICIPATING ANY TROUBLES IN TERMS OF THE DRY FORECAST. BUT ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE A COMPLETELY CLEAR FORECAST. TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...DRY AND PARTLY CLOUDY TUESDAY EVENING WITH HIGH PRESSURE INITIALLY IN CONTROL. NOT AN ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF TIME TO DIG INTO THESE FORECAST PERIODS. HOWEVER...MCS DEVELOPMENT UPSTREAM ACROSS WISCONSIN STILL LOOKING LIKE A GOOD POSSIBILITY AS WARM AIR/MOISTURE AXIS SURGES BACK INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST. RIGHT NOW...MCS LOOKING TO TAKE AIM ON LOWER MICHIGAN LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY WITH HIGH CHANCE POPS LOOKING FINE FOR NOW. ADAM && .APX...WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. &&
