AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 700 PM EDT FRI JUN 2 2006 .AVIATION... A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES DIVING INTO THE REGION FROM CANADA WILL CONTINUE TO CARVE OUT A FORMIDABLE UPPER TROF INTO THE WEEKEND. THE FIRST WAVE IS TRACKING THROUGH THE AREA ATTM...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THIS ACTIVITY WILL AFFECT KMBS AND KFNT FOR A FEW MORE HOURS THIS EVENING. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL TRACK INTO THE AREA ON SATURDAY...WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS BY MIDDAY. && .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...ISSUED AT 415 PM CONVECTION IS STARTING TO FIRE ALONG A LINE FROM WESTERN LOWER MICHIGAN TO NORTHERN ILLINOIS...AHEAD OF A ROBUST WAVE MOVING SOUTH ACROSS WISCONSIN. SURFACE PRESSURE IS FALLING AHEAD OF THIS WAVE WITH SOME WEAK CONVERGENCE HELPING TO ORGANIZE THUNDERSTORMS. LAPS SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES CAPES AHEAD OF THIS BAND ARE REACHING AS HIGH AS 1400 J/KG...WHERE SKIES HAVE BEEN CLEARED FOR 3 TO 4 HOURS ACROSS SOUTHWEST LOWER. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A GOOD DRYSLOT RIGHT BEHIND THIS BAND WHICH IS HELPING TO ADD SOME EXTRA INSTABILITY ALOFT. SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN IS JUST STARTING TO CLEAR...BUT TEMPS SHOULD RISE QUICKLY AS WE DO SO LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. FREEZING LEVELS ARE FAIRLY LOW THIS AFTERNOON...AROUND 10000 FEET SO STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOME MARGINALLY SEVERE SIZE HAIL. SHEAR INCREASES AS YOU HEAD TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BORDER...ALTHOUGH THIS AREA OF MODERATE SHEAR WILL SINK SOUTH INTO INDIANA BY THIS EVENING. A LITTLE BIT OF DIRECTIONAL SHEAR WILL ALSO BE PRESENT UNTIL THE UPPER WAVE SINKS SOUTH INTO INDIANA AND MID LEVEL WINDS VEER TO THE NORTH. GIVEN THAT SHEAR IS RELATIVELY WEAK THOUGH...WILL EXPECT MARGINALLY SEVERE SIZE HAIL AND WINDS TO 45 MPH TO BE THE MAIN THREAT FOR THIS EVENING. THIS THREAT WILL BE GREATEST WEST OF A LINE FROM THE TRI-CITIES TO ANN ARBOR WITH LITTLE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS TO DEVELOP EAST OF THIS LINE. WILL RAISE POPS ACROSS THE WESTERN COUNTIES FOR THIS EVENING TO ACCOUNT FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS ANOTHER WAVE ROUNDING THE TOP OF THE RIDGE OVER EASTERN MANITOBA WHICH WILL BRING COOLER MID LEVEL AIR TO LOWER MICHIGAN ON SATURDAY. 500MB TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO -19C WHICH WILL LEAD TO STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES NEARING 8 C/KM. FREEZING LEVELS DROP EVEN LOWER ON SATURDAY...DOWN TO AROUND 9000 FEET. LARGER SCALE LIFT WILL INCREASE LATE MORNING INTO MID AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE NEXT WAVE...HELPING TO GENERATE SOME CONVECTION. MODIFIED NAM SOUNDINGS OF 70/51 YIELD ABOUT 600 J/KG OF CAPE. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE HAIL AGAIN...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON...GIVEN THE GOOD INSTABILITY. && .LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...ISSUED AT 415 PM THE 12Z MODEL SUITE CONTINUE TO SHOW THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES DEVELOPING INTO A CUT OFF LOW BY 12Z SUN. THE GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW OBVIOUS FEEDBACK ISSUES AND INDICATES A MUCH DEEPER AND FARTHER SOUTH UPPER LOW BY SUNDAY EVENING. WILL THUS LEAN MORE TOWARD THE NAM SOLUTION WHICH HAS SUPPORT FROM THE WRFHEMI...GLOBAL AND UKMET. WITH THE LATEST MODEL SUITE INDICATING A SURGE OF HIGHER 850MB THETA E AIR ADVECTING INTO SE MICHIGAN FROM THE EAST SATURDAY NIGHT...WILL ADD A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. MODELS INDICATE THAT THE HIGHER MOISTURE WILL LINGER OVER SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. WITH SURFACE CONVERGENCE VIA A LINGERING TROUGH AND WITH 500MB TEMPS STILL AROUND -18C...WILL CONTINUE THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS INTO SUNDAY. WITH 700-500MB LAPSE RATES A RESPECTABLE 6.0 TO 6.5 C/KM...WILL ALSO INCLUDE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. OVERALL THE FLOW ACROSS THE WESTERN US WILL BECOME MORE ZONAL DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK AS NUMEROUS UPPER WAVES OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC MOVE INTO WESTERN CANADA. WITH THE UPPER LOW EXPECTED TO REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE EASTERN US...THE RESPONSE WILL BE AN AMPLIFYING RIDGE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THIS WILL ALLOW A MODEST WARMING TREND INTO MID WEEK. THE 12Z MODEL SUITE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EARLIER MODEL RUNS IN INDICATING THE FLOW BECOMING MORE AMPLIFIED LATE IN THE WEEK...WITH A DIGGING UPPER TROUGH MOVING INTO THE GREAT LAKES FROM CENTRAL CANADA. MODEL SOLUTIONS...ESPECIALLY THE GFS HOWEVER HAVE SHOWN SOMEWHAT POOR RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY WITH RESPECT TO THE AMPLITUDE AND TIMING OF THIS UPPER TROUGH. OVERALL...THE GFS...CANADIAN...WRFHEMI HAVE BEEN MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE UPPER TROUGH...WHILE THE ECMWF HAS BEEN ADVERTISING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LARGE CUT OFF LOW OVER THE REGION BY FRIDAY. ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SHOW A LARGE SPREAD IN SOLUTIONS. RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY WITH THIS FEATURE HAS ALSO BEEN RATHER POOR... ESPECIALLY IN THE GFS. SO CONFIDENCE IN THE OVERALL PATTERN EVOLUTION LATE IN THE WEEK REMAINS RATHER LOW. THERE SHOULD BE A SHOT OF MUCH COOLER AIR ADVECTING INTO THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT...EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THE STATE SOMETIME WED OR WED NIGHT. GIVEN THE AMPLIFYING PATTERN...AM ACTUALLY LEANING TOWARD THE ECMWF...WHICH WOULD INDICATE BELOW NORMAL CONDITIONS THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. WITH THE FRONT EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...CURRENT CHANCE POPS STILL LOOK GOOD. THERE ALSO APPEARS TO BE A POTENTIAL FOR UPSTREAM MESO SCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS TO IMPACT THE STATE TUES AND TUES NIGHT. SO AGAIN...THE CURRENT CHANCE POPS LOOK REASONABLE. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. LAKE HURON...NONE. LAKE ST CLAIR...NONE.
