AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI 330 PM EDT SAT JUN 3 2006 .DISCUSSION...CONVERGENT LOW LEVEL FLOW ACROSS INTERIOR NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN AS LAKE BREEZES CONTINUE TO WORK AWAY FROM THE COAST. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON WITHIN THIS CONVERGENCE ZONE. ALONG WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS...DRIER AIR CONTINUES TO WORK INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH/NORTHEAST /DEWPOINT ON DRUMMOND ISLAND DROPPED FROM 52 TO 41 DEGF SINCE 17Z/. THIS ACTIVITY IS BEING ENHANCED BY WEAK H8-H5 QG FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH SHORTWAVE TROF ROTATING ACROSS MICHIGAN IN BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW REGIME. THE EVOLUTION OF THE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS WILL BE SOUTH WITH DECREASING COVERAGE...AS DRIER AIR ERODES THE CU FIELDS TO THE NORTH AND MORE STABLE AIR ALONG THE COASTS GRADUALLY PUSHES INLAND. I WILL PUT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS INTO SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST PARTS OF THE AREA THROUGH SUNSET...ALTHOUGH WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE ACTIVITY DIMINISH EVEN FASTER THAN THAT AS SUN ANGLE GETS LOWER. AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE MAINLY DO TO 8-9 KFT FREEZING LEVELS AND 3/4 INCH HAIL POTENTIAL. QUIET OVERNIGHT WITH DIURNAL CLOUDS DISSIPATING LEAVING A MAINLY CLEAR SKY AND LIGHT WINDS. WITH LOWER DEWPOINT AIR CONTINUING TO ADVECT INTO THE AREA...GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING SCENARIO WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO SETTLE INTO THE UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50 /SOME OF THE NORMALLY COOLER SPOTS AROUND CADILLAC AND PELLSTON MAY DIP INTO THE LOWER 40S/. JK LONG TERM...MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD SO HAVE BLENDED THE FORECAST. SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...500 MB AND SFC RIDGES ARE IN CONTROL OF THE PATTERN WITH THE 850 MB LEVEL RH DECREASING TO LESS THAN 50% DURING THE DAY. THE 700-500 MB LAYER RH IS LESS THAN 20%. SO HAVE TAKEN ALL POPS OUT OF THE FORECAST. THE DRY FORECAST GOES INTO THE NIGHT AS THE RIDGES STAY IN PLACE AND THE 850 LEVEL AND 700-500 MB LAYER RH REMAIN LESS THAN 40%. MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT ...THE SFC HIGH SLIDES SOUTH AS THE 500 MB RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE REGION. SO WILL REMAIN DRY. THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS WILL BE DURING THE OVERNIGHT...WHEN THERE COULD BE A SHOWER... BUT THINK THAT THE CHANCES ARE LESS THAN 30% SO WONT PUT ANYTHING IN FOR NOW. TUESDAY...THE COLD FRONT BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE REGION...SO HAVE TRIED TO TIME THE FRONT SO THE NW LOWER WILL HAVE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MORNING. THEN THE FRONT GETS TO AT LEAST HALF WAY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...SO HAVE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE AFTERNOON. EXTENDED (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT TODAY WITH THE 00Z ECMWF AND GFS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE SFC PRESSURE PATTERN BY THE END OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THE ENSEMBLE MEANS OF NOGAPS AND GEM ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH EACH OTHER AS WELL AND LOOKS CLOSER TO GFS. SO HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE GFS. SO THE FORECAST WILL GO LIKE THIS...WEDNESDAY...THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. SO THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. THURSDAY...THE MODELS INDICATE THAT THE FRONT IS IN S LOWER THE SFC HIGH BEGINS TO BUILD INTO MICHIGAN WITH THE SFC HIGH MOVING INTO THE HUDSON BAY REGION. FRIDAY...THE SFC HIGH BUILDS INTO MICHIGAN WITH A 500 MB SHORTWAVE RIDGE MOVING INTO THE REGION...SO DRY. SATURDAY...ANOTHER 500 MB LOW DROPS THROUGH THE FLOW...SO WILL KEEP THE POPS IN E UPPER AS ANY ENERGY ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW THAT ROTATES INTO E UPPER. LUTZ && .APX...WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
