NWS Detroit, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 26, 12:52 PM EST, 1 hour 53 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 152 PM EDT THU JUN 26 2008 .AVIATION... RESIDUAL LOW LEVEL CAPPING IS EXPECTED TO ERODE THIS AFTERNOON ALLOWING FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN. THE AREA WITH THE BETTER LIKELIHOOD OF EXPERIENCING THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM HARBOR BEACH TO OWOSSO. MAIN CHANGES THIS ISSUANCE WERE TO ADD A TWO HOUR PREVAILING GROUP (20-22Z KDTW/KDET) TO ACCOUNT FOR ACTIVITY PUSHING NORTHEASTWARD FROM INDIANA...WHILE ADDING A TEMPO GROUP (19-22Z) FOR THE NORTHERN SITES. IFR VISIBILITIES DUE TO RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE HEAVIER STORMS. PREDOMINATELY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT ALTHOUGH BR OF AROUND 2SM MAY BECOME A FACTOR AT KFNT AND KMBS. WESTERLY WINDS GUSTING TO AROUND 20 KNOTS...WILL GO LIGHT SOUTHERLY TOMORROW MORNING. && .PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 319 AM EDT THU JUN 26 2008 SHORT TERM...TONIGHT LIKE YESTERDAY MORNING...SATELLITE/RADAR COMPOSITE SHOWS AN MCS OVER SOUTHERN IOWA/NORTHERN MISSOURI. THIS COMPLEX HOWEVER IS PROPAGATING IN A DUE SOUTHWARD DIRECTION. SO WHILE THERE MAY BE SOME HIGH LEVEL DEBRIS CLOUDS ADVANCING INTO THE STATE FROM THIS SYSTEM THIS MORNING...DO NOT EXPECT THE CLOUDS TO BE AS DENSE AS YESTERDAY. THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME STRATUS TO CONTENT WITH EARLY THIS MORNING. MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THIS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS QUITE SHALLOW... AND SHOULD EASILY MIX OUT BY MID TO LATE MORNING. SO IN ANTICIPATION OF A LITTLE LESS CLOUD COVER THAN YESTERDAY... GUIDANCE MAX TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S LOOK REASONABLE BASED ON UPSTREAM CONDITIONS YESTERDAY. THE MAIN FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE A SURFACE TROUGH AXIS FORECAST TO TRACK ACROSS SE MI BETWEEN 18Z AND 00Z. NAM MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE SFC TEMPS IN THE MID/UPPER 80S WITH SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S WILL YIELD BETWEEN 1200 AND 2000 J/KG SFC BASED CAPE. A FEW NEGATIVES FOR CONVECTION HOWEVER WILL BE SOME SIGNIFICANT DRYING IN THE 850-700MB LAYER DURING THE AFTERNOON...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE SAGINAW VALLEY. MODEL SOUNDINGS ALSO INDICATE SOME MID LEVEL CAPPING ASSOCIATED WITH SOME SHORT WAVE RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS ALL SUPPORTS KEEPING POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY. THE CURRENT FORECAST HAS THE HIGHEST POPS ALONG AN AXIS FROM PHN TO ADG. WITH THE SFC TROUGH MOVING INTO THIS REGION LATE IN THE DAY AND WITH THE LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS SHOWING A LINGERING 850MB THETA RIDGE EXTENDING FROM SOUTHERN LAKE HURON THROUGH NORTHERN INDIANA...CARRYING THE HIGHEST POPS IN THIS REGION OF THE FORECAST AREA STILL LOOKS REASONABLE. LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY WEAK TROUGH AXIS WILL SETTLE SOUTHWARD TO AROUND THE OH/MI BORDER THURSDAY EVENING. CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND IN THE VICINITY OF ANY LINGERING LAKE BREEZE ACTIVITY MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO SUSTAIN A FEW SHOWERS/TSTORMS JUST BEYOND 00Z...MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF A HOWELL TO PORT HURON LINE. OTHERWISE...LOOKING QUIET FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AS WEAK SFC RIDGING BRIEFLY TAKES CONTROL. SUBTLE POST-FRONTAL DRYING OF THE AIRMASS WILL LEAD TO SLIGHTLY COOLER OVERNIGHT LOWS ACROSS THE NORTH THAN THIS MORNING. A PIECE OF THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WILL CONTINUE EASTWARD INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY FRIDAY. NOT SURPRISINGLY THE MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE IN HANDLING THE DETAILS OF THESE WEAK FEATURES WITHIN THE ZONAL FLOW. 00Z GFS RENDERED USELESS BY SEVERE CONVECTIVE/GRID SCALE FEEDBACK ISSUES WITH THIS IMPULSE...GENERATING A STRONGER VORT MAX/LOW LEVEL JET CORE WHILE BRINGING A SWATH OF 2-3 INCHES OF RAINFALL ACROSS CENTRAL MICHIGAN ON FRIDAY. THUS...PREFERENCE GOES TOWARD THE 00Z NAM SOLUTION...WITH INDICATES OVERNIGHT MCS DEVELOPMENT FOCUSED ALONG A WEAKER SHORTWAVE...WITH THIS ACTIVITY SHIFTING EASTWARD TOWARD SOUTHEAST LOWER MI BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTORMS MAY ALSO CONVERGE ALONG A NORTHWARD ADVANCING WARM FRONT...UNDER STRENGTHENING THETA-E ADVECTION AND SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY (AFTERNOON MLCAPES OF 1500 J/KG). COVERAGE WILL SEE SOME DEPENDENCE ON THE EXTENT OF DESTABILIZATION...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF HIGH CLOUD DEBRIS AS A RESULT OF UPSTREAM CONVECTION. OVERALL WIND FIELDS REMAIN MODEST (BULK SHEAR LESS THAN 30 KNOTS)...BUT THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY AND POTENTIAL FORCING WOULD SUGGEST AT LEAST AN ISOLATED CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS. WILL NEED TO WATCH THE PROGRESSION OF THE LOW LEVEL WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH THE DAY...AS THIS BOUNDARY COULD SERVE TO ENHANCE THE LOW LEVEL HELICITY. STRONG HEIGHT FALLS WILL COMMENCE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON FRIDAY AS A DEEPENING SHORTWAVE DIVES SOUTHEAST. THIS SYSTEM WILL EVENTUALLY CLOSE OFF AND LIFT TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES BY FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...ACCOMPANIED BY A 90+ KNOT UPPER JET STREAK AND AN EASTWARD SURGING COLD FRONT. INCREASING LARGE SCALE ACCENT/LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND THETA-E RIDGING OVERHEAD WILL BRING A HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF CONVECTION DURING THIS TIME. ONCE AGAIN...DEEP LAYER SHEAR NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE...BUT WILL SEE AT LEAST AN ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT GIVEN THE EXTENT OF THE FORCING. TOUGH CALL ON HIGHS SATURDAY...AS MORE WIDESPREAD PCPN/CLOUD COVERAGE WOULD RESTRICT THE DIURNAL TEMPERATURE RECOVERY...BUT SOME LATE AFTERNOON CLEARING MAY ALLOW HIGHS TO INCH BACK TOWARD 80F. THE RELATIVELY DEEP UPPER LOW FOR LATE JUNE WILL SLOWLY MIGRATE EASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY AND MONDAY. FAVORABLE EXIT REGION UPPER JET DYNAMICS AND THE PASSAGE OF A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL ACCOMPANY THE LOWER HEIGHTS FALLS/DECREASE IN MID-LEVEL TEMPS ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO MAINLY DIURNALLY BASED SHOWERS/TSTORMS INTO THE EVENING HOURS...WITH THE PRE-FRONTAL AIRMASS WARMING INTO THE LOWER 80S AND SBCAPES APPROACHING 1000-1500 J/KG. BY MONDAY... CENTER OF THE 500 MB COLD POOL WILL MOVE OVERHEAD AS THE UPPER LOW PIVOTS THROUGH. THE STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND CYCLONIC FLOW WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO GENERATE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. MODEST POST-FRONTAL COLD AIR ADVECTION WITH 850 MB TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS...ALONG WITH A BROADER CU FIELD/LIMITED INSOLATION...WITH KEEP HIGHS IN THE LOW/MID 70S MONDAY. BACK EDGE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL PULL EAST ON TUESDAY...LEAVING A DRIER NORTHWEST FLOW WITH BUILDING SFC RIDGING FOR THE MIDWEEK PERIOD. AIRMASS WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO MODERATE BACK TOWARD SEASON NORMS BY WEDNESDAY UNDER STRONG INSOLATION. MARINE... A SURFACE TROUGH WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE IN ADVANCE OF THIS TROUGH. VERY STABLE CONDITIONS OVER THE GREAT LAKES HOWEVER WILL KEEP WINDS BELOW 15 KNOTS THROUGH THE DAY. EAST-SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP OVER LAKE HURON FRIDAY AND VEER TO THE SOUTH BY SATURDAY IN ADVANCE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. WINDS IN ADVANCE OF THIS FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW 20 KNOTS THROUGH SATURDAY...EXCEPT IN ANY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP. THE HIGHER MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE AIR WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SOME FOG OVER THE COLDER OPEN WATERS OF LAKE HURON. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. LAKE HURON...NONE.
