AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI 300 PM EDT MON JUN 26 2006 .SYNOPSIS... WATER VAPOR IMAGES SHOW CUTOFF LOW PERSISTING OVER ERN IA. A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS DROPPING SE INTO THE NRN PLAINS AND APPEARS AS IF IT WILL PHASE WITH THE LOW TO KEEP MEAN TROUGHING UPSTREAM OF OUR CWFA FOR A BIT LONGER. ONE VORT MAX IS LIFTING N OVER LAKE MI AT THIS TIME AND THE NEXT IS ROTATING AROUND THE SW QUADRANT OF THE LOW. RADAR RETURNS HAVE PREDOMINATELY BEEN OVER THE LAKE AHEAD OF THE VORT. HOWEVER...STORMS ARE BEGINNING TO FIRE OUR OUR NRN CWFA AND ARE TRACKING N. && .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)... UNSETTLED CONDITIONS SEEM LIKELY AS SHORT RANGE MODELS SHOW EXCELLENT AGREEMENT ON KEEPING THE MEAN TROUGH UPSTREAM OF THE CWFA THROUGH THE PERIOD. TONIGHT - BOTH GFS AND NAM INDICATE THAT THE MENTIONED VORT LOBE CURRENTLY ON THE SW QUAD OF THE UPSTREAM UPPER LOW WILL ROTATE INTO THE CWFA. WILL THEREFORE KEEP A CHANCE OF SHRA/TSRA GOING OVERNIGHT. TUESDAY - SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE SE USA WILL MOVE N INTO THE CWFA IN RESPONSE TO ANOTHER POTENTIAL VORTICITY MAX LIFTING NE INTO THE GREAT LAKES. WE RAISED POPS OVER OUR ERN ZONES DUE TO GREATER EXPECTED SURFACE CONVERGENCE WITH EVOLUTION OF THE SURFACE LOW. WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT - UPPER TROUGH BEGINS TO MOVE E...BUT THERE ARE MINOR TIMING DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MODELS WITH RESPECT TO THE FINE DETAILS OF THE UPPER FORCING. GFSMOS POPS ARE QUITE HIGH IN THE 60+ RANGE DURING THIS TIME. DECIDED TO STICK WITH PERSISTENCE MAINLY DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY THIS FAR OUT. .LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)... NOT MUCH CHANGE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST. GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW AN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THE ECMWF DOES TOO BUT MOVES IT OUT BY THE WEEKEND AND GOES MORE TOWARD ZONAL FLOW. TO SOME DEGREE THE GFS TRIES TO DO THAT ALSO...BUT THE SHORT WAVE RIDGE GETS FLATTENED OUT AND RESULTS IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. WITH MANY MINOR SHORT WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW...WE NEED TO MENTION A CHC OF TSRA AT LEAST THROUGH SATURDAY. WE/LL LEAN TOWARD A DRY FORECAST FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. AN ENHANCED CHANCE OF CONVECTION LOOKS TO OCCUR THURSDAY WHEN SLIGHTLY COLDER AIR ALOFT SWINGS THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN. && .GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SHORT TERM: TJT LONG TERM: 93
