Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 4:58 PM CST, 32 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI 658 PM EDT SUN JUN 10 2007 .AVIATION (FOR 00Z TAF ISSUANCE)... ISOLD SHRA/TSRA IN THE VCNTY OF KSAW SHOULD DISSIPATE BY 02Z... IF NOT SOONER. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT KSAW/KCMX THROUGH THIS FCST PERIOD. && .PREV DISCUSSION (ISSUED AT 410 PM EDT)... SYNOPSIS... THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS FORECAST IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC SHOWING A 500 MB RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CONUS...A CLOSED LOW OFF THE SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA COAST...A CLOSED LOW OFF THE EAST COAST...CLOSED 500 MB LOW OFF THE PACIFIC NW AND A CLOSED 500 MB LOW OVER HUDSON BAY WITH A TROUGH ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA. A WEAK RIDGE STRETCHES FROM NORTH DAKOTA NORTHWEST INTO CENTRAL CANADA. WEAK SHORTWAVES SWEEPING AROUND THE BASE OF HUDSON BAY LOW ARE STAYING OVER NORTHERN ONTARIO. A WEAK SHORTWAVE MOVING OVER THE ARROWHEAD OF MINNESOTA IS PRODUCING SOME CU NORTHWEST OF LAKE SUPERIOR. A FEW CU CLOUDS ARE DEVELOP OVER THE WESTERN U.P. SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A DEEP LOW OVER HUDSON BAY WITH A STATIONARY FRONT DRAPED FROM THIS LOW ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA. A SURFACE RIDGE OVER LOWER MICHIGAN CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE AIR MASS OVER THE REGION. SHORT TERM... THE RIDGE OVER WESTERN CANADA WILL SHIFT INTO CENTRAL CANADA OVERNIGHT...AND INTO WESTERN ONTARIO AND THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY ON MONDAY. SEVERAL VERY WEAK SHORTWAVES WILL SAIL ACROSS UPPER MICHIGAN TONIGHT AND MONDAY. DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE VERY LIMITED. MODELS ARE IN DISAGREEMENT ON THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY OVER THE AREA TONIGHT. NAM SUGGESTING MORE THAN A 1000J/KG WHILE GFS SHOWS 0J/KG. CONSIDERING THE LACK OF VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT DEPICTED ON SATELLITE AND SEEN IN SURFACE OBSERVATIONS...IT APPEARS THAT GFS HAS A BETTER HANDLE ON THE STABILITY AT THIS TIME. STILL GFS SHOWING SOME LIGHT QPF FOR THE U.P. THIS EVENING...SO WILL NOT RULE OUT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF TSRA. LONG TERM (MON NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY) MON NIGHT THROUGH THU...WITH THE WRN ATLANTIC BLOCKING PATTERN IN PLACE LOWERING HEIGHTS INTO THE NW CONUS WILL LEAD TO A BUILDING RIDGE ACROSS THE WRN GREAT LAKES. AS A RESULT...FAIR WEATHER WILL PREVAIL AS WARMING MID LEVELS WILL KEEP THE AREA CAPPED. 850 TEMPS FCST TO 15C-16C SUPPORT MAX READINGS AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE GUIDANCE. PREVAILING SRLY FLOW WILL KEEP LOCATIONS NEAR LAKE MI COOLER. BACKED SE OR E WINDS WILL ALSO KEEP LCL SHORELINE AREAS COOLER OVER N CNTRL UPPER MI AND ACROSS THE E PORTION OF THE KEWEENAW. FRI-SUN...THE FCST WAS GENERALLY WEIGHTED TOWARD THE 00Z/10 ECMWF...PER HPC. HOWEVER...THE 12Z ECMWF...GFS(AND ENS MEAN) AND UKMET WERE MORE AGGRESSIVE IN LOWERING HEIGHTS INTO NRN ONTARIO AND THE NRN GREAT LAKES WITH A SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH SRN CANADA COMPARED TO THE 00Z MDLS WHICH KEEP THE RDG MORE INTACT. SO...UNCERTAINTY BY THIS WEEKEND IS HIGHER ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD TO TEMPS AND WINDS AS THE 12Z MDLS SUGGEST A FRONT WOULD SAG INTO THE AREA. FOR NOW...NO SHRA/TSRA CHANCES MENTIONED ALTHOUGH SHOULD THE 12Z MDL TREND HOLD UP...LOWER END CHANCE POPS MAY BE NEEDED. && .MARINE (FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FCST ISSUANCE)... WIND SPEEDS THROUGH THE WEEK AHEAD WILL REMAIN BELOW 20 KT THANKS TO THE CURRENT SURFACE HIGH OVER LOWER MICHIGAN LOCKED IN OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. THE ONLY MAIN CONCERN IS WIND DIRECTIONS... WHICH WILL OSCILLATE ON THE DIURNAL CYCLE DUE TO ITEMS SUCH AS THE FLOW BETWEEN THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERS AND THE LOWS AND THE LAND AND LAKE BREEZES. && .MQT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && AVIATION...ROLFSON PREV DISCUSSION (SHORT TERM) AND MARINE...DLG PREV DISCUSSION (LONG TERM)...JB
