NWS Grand Rapids, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 3, 2:59 AM EST, 2 hours 2 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND RAPIDS MI 359 AM EDT SUN JUN 3 2007 .SHORT TERM... THE UPPER LOW THAT HAS SUSTAINED ITSELF OVER THE PAST WEEK ACROSS THE NRN SECTION OF THE COUNTRY CONTINUES TO SLOWLY ROTATE ITS WAY TOWARD THE EAST. LATEST WV IMAGERY AND UPPER AIR CHARTS SHOW THAT IT IS NOW CENTERED OVER IA AND SRN MN. THE FORECAST CHALLENGES IN THE SHORT TERM CONTINUE TO REMAIN CENTERED AROUND THIS LOW AS IT BECOMES A BIT MORE PROGRESSIVE AND MOVES ACROSS THE CWFA THROUGH MON NIGHT/TUE. PCPN CHCS WILL HAVE TO BE DETERMINED THROUGH TUE...ALONG WITH CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL/SEVERE WX THREAT TODAY AND MON. LATEST RADAR IMAGERY THIS MORNING HAS BEEN SHOWING SOME VERY LIGHT SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN AND LAKE MICHIGAN. THIS PCPN HAS BEEN DEVELOPING OVERHEAD OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS AS ADDITIONAL MOISTURE IS ADVECTED NORTH INTO AN ALREADY MOIST AIR MASS OUT AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW AND A SFC FRONT THAT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED TO OUR WEST. UPSTREAM DOWN IN ERN IL AND WRN IN ARE MORE SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS POISED TO MOVE UP INTO THE AREA THIS MORNING. WITH MOISTURE ADVECTION CONTINUING THROUGH A GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY FROM THE SOUTH...AND THE UPPER LOW APPROACHING THE AREA...PCPN WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD WITH A BIT OF DIURNAL HEATING. THE UNCERTAIN PART OF THE FORECAST DEALS WITH THE AMOUNT OF DESTABILIZATION THAT CAN TAKE PLACE. WE FEEL THAT THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER THIS MORNING WITH THE MOISTURE AND SHOWER ACTIVITY STREAMING IN FROM THE SOUTH. SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS CAN BE SEEN OVER IN WI...BUT ANY BREAKS WILL LIKELY FILL IN BY LATE MORNING DUE TO THE BUILDING INSTABILITY. WE DO FEEL THAT WE WILL SEE ENOUGH WARMING TO PUSH TEMPS IN THE MID 70S FOR MOST AREAS. THESE TEMPS COMBINED WITH DEW POINTS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE LOWER 60S WILL SUPPORT SB CAPES APPROACHING 1000 J/KG AND LI/S FALLING DOWN TO -2 TO -3C THIS AFTERNOON. THUS...WE FEEL THAT THERE CONTINUES TO BE ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THUNDER. CONCERNING THE SEVERE THREAT...DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE VERY IMPRESSIVE WITH MID LEVEL WINDS AROUND 30 KTS THIS MORNING OVER WI DIMINISHING AS THIS LOW BEGINS TO SOMEWHAT PHASE WITH THE REMNANT UPPER LOW FROM THE FORMER TROPICAL SYSTEM BARRY. THUS MOST CONVECTION THAT FIRES TODAY WILL BE OF THE PULSE VARIETY. AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES...INTERACTING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL HELP TO CONTRIBUTE TO ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT. MAIN SEVERE THREAT WOULD LIKELY BE LARGE HAIL WITH FREEZING LEVELS DROPPING DOWN TO AROUND 9-10K FEET. DEEP MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE EARLY THIS EVENING OVER THE CWFA BEFORE GETTING SWEPT OUT BY THE ASSOCIATED SFC FRONT THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CWFA LATE TODAY AND THIS EVENING. PCPN WILL LIKELY REMAIN QUITE WIDESPREAD THIS EVENING...BEFORE DIMINISHING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH AND AS WE LOSE THE DIURNAL INSTABILITY. SOME REMAINING ELEVATED INSTABILITY DOES REMAIN THROUGH THE NIGHT...THUS WE WILL MAINTAIN THE THUNDER MENTION THROUGH THE NIGHT. THIS BREAK IN THE COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AS WE WILL BE IN THE DRY SLOT OF THE SYSTEM. AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON MON...THE UPPER LOW WILL ROTATE TO BE LOCATED DIRECTLY OVERHEAD AND WILL BEGIN TO OPEN UP INTO A WAVE. THIS LOW WILL HAVE SOMEWHAT PHASED WITH THE REMNANTS OF THE TROPICAL LOW BY THEN...AND WILL HAVE A CONVEYOR OF GOOD MOISTURE COMING IN FROM THE ATLANTIC AND ROTATING ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER LOW. THIS AXIS OF WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL THEN SWING THROUGH THE CWFA MON AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE MON EVENING. WE HAVE INCREASED POPS DURING THIS PERIOD TO THE LIKELY/NUMEROUS CATEGORY. PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER WILL BE FOUND ON MON...BUT MODELS DO INDICATE SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL BUILD. THIS WILL JUSTIFY KEEPING A LOW THREAT OF THUNDER IN THE FORECAST ON MON. HIGHS ON MON WITH PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER AND PCPN AROUND WILL REMAIN MAINLY IN THE 60S. THE UPPER LOW WILL FINALLY MOVE EAST OF THE CWFA ON TUE...TAKING MOST OF THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WITH IT. THE LATEST MODEL RUNS INDICATE THAT ENOUGH DRYING COULD TAKE PLACE TO SEE CLOUD COVER BREAK UP AND SEE SOME SUNSHINE POKE THROUGH. AFTER COLLABORATING WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES...WE HAVE DECIDED TO MAINTAIN A SLIGHT CHC OF LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS TUE MORNING TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY LEFT OVER PCPN FROM THE DEPARTING SYSTEM. WE HAVE THEN DRIED OUT TUE AFTERNOON AND HAVE SKIES BECOMING PARTLY SUNNY. HIGHS WILL STAY IN THE 60S WITH H850 TEMPS ONLY AROUND 4 TO 6C. .LONG TERM... UPPER LOW THAT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION IN THE SHORT TERM...WILL BE PULLING WAY TO BEGIN THE LONG TERM PERIOD TUESDAY NIGHT. SOME TROUGHING WILL REMAIN HOWEVER INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. SURFACE RIDGING WILL BE IN PLACE THOUGH AND EXPECT DRY WEATHER BOTH TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT SHORTWAVE RIDGING WILL BE IN PLACE ALOFT...OVER THE GREAT LAKES...WITH ANOTHER PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER EXPECTED. THE GFS DOES BRING WARM FRONTAL PRECIPITATION INTO THE FORECAST AREA IN THIS TIME FRAME...ALTHOUGH BOTH THE CANADIAN GEM AND EUROPEAN LOOK DRY. WILL HOLD OFF ON INTRODUCING PRECIPITATION IN THIS PERIOD UNTIL THERE IS MORE MODEL CONSENSUS. MAINTAINED THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM WORDING FROM THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER SHORTWAVE AND ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT LOOK TO BE THE MOST LIKELY FORECAST PERIODS TO SEE PRECIPITATION AT THIS POINT. RIDGING TRIES TO TAKE HOLD AT THE SURFACE ONCE AGAIN FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...SO EXPECTING DRY WEATHER AT THIS POINT. EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BEGIN COOL ON TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT WILL WARM QUITE A BIT INTO THURSDAY AS SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS WARMTH TO THE AREA. .GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE && NJJ DUKE
