Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 6:54 PM EST, 28 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 754 PM EDT MON JUN 8 2009 .AVIATION... LOW PRESSURE LOCATED OVER WESTERN MICHIGAN WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE NORTHEAST ACROSS LAKE HURON INTO THIS EVENING. A WARM FRONT REMAINS PARKED FROM ROUGHLY KTOL TO KGRR WITH A COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG VARIOUS BOUNDARIES MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN WITH A FEW STRONG STORMS STILL POSSIBLE INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO MAKE IT DOWN TO THE SURFACE IN ANY LOCATION NORTHEAST OF THE WARM FRONT BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY STRONGER WIND GUSTS TO AFFECT THE TERMINALS. THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL WIND DOWN QUIKCLY ACROSS THE SAGINAW VALLEY AND WILL DWINDLE AT THE OTHER SITES BY AROUND 04Z. VISIBLE SATELLITE AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS CONTINUE TO SHOW AN IFR CLOUD DECK IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WITH A MORE PERSISTENT DECK EXTENDING NORTHWEST ACROSS WISCONSIN. ALTHOUGH THESE CLOUDS MAY TAKE A FEW HOURS TO FILL IN BEHIND THE FROPA...A CLOUD DECK NEAR 1000 FEET IS EXPECTED TO FILL IN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. THIS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL SCATTER OUT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ON TUESDAY AS WE MIX INTO MUCH DRIER AIR ALOFT. && .PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 417 PM EDT MON JUN 8 2009 SHORT TERM...TONIGHT LOW PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS/SOUTHERN WISCONSIN WILL TRACK NORTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN THIS EVENING...AS A ROBUST UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE LIFTS ACROSS THE STATE. SURFACE WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM TOLEDO TO JUST NORTH OF GRAND RAPIDS IS BEGINNING TO LIGHT UP WITH ONE WARNING ALREADY FOR THE STORM MOVING INTO INGHAM COUNTY. THIS STORM IS SHOWING ROTATION WHICH IS REASONABLE GIVEN 50 KNOTS OF 0-6KM SHEAR AND BACKED FLOW AT THE SURFACE ALONG THE WARM FRONT YIELDING 0-1KM HELICITY OF 200-300 M2/S2. THE FRONTAL CONVERGENCE IS STRONGER JUST NORTH OF THE GRAND RAPIDS AREA BUT WE MAY SEE THIS CONTINUE TO INCREASE ACROSS THE SAGINAW VALLEY AS THE SURFACE LOW SLIDES EAST THIS EVENING. INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH WITH SURFACE BASED CAPES ACROSS SOUTHWEST LOWER OF 2000 J/KG. DEWPOINTS IN THIS AREA ARE IN THE MID 60S AND WE WILL SEE AN INCREASINGLY WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS SPREAD INTO THE AREA INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. GIVEN THE STRONG SHEAR PROFILE... APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL WAVE...SURFACE WARM FRONT...AND INCREASING INSTABILITY...A TORNADO WATCH WILL BE ISSUED SHORTLY. SUPERCELLS WILL LIKELY BE THE MODE OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING INITIALLY ALONG THE WARM FRONT WITH A REPORT OF 1.5 INCH HAIL ALREADY. LATER TONIGHT COULD SEE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH SOME LINE SEGMENTS DEVELOPING ALONG THE COLD FRONT AS IT PUSHES EAST INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING. MONROE AND LENAWEE COUNTIES HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE TORNADO WATCH AS THE WARM FRONT WILL CLEAR THESE AREAS QUICKLY. HOWEVER WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THESE COUNTIES FOR AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM LATER THIS EVENING. LONG TERM...EXPANSIVE UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES/WESTERN CANADA WITH SUBTROPICAL UPPER LOW OFF THE BAJA CALIFORNIA COAST. THE SPLIT JETS WILL BE MERGING OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL CONUS...WITH WEST-SOUTHWEST CONFLUENT FLOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THE PROBLEM IS SUBTLE SHORTWAVES/ENERGY EJECTING FROM THE SUBTROPICAL LOW OPENING UP SHOULD LEAD TO CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS...WHICH MAY IMPACT THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES DURING THE MID WEEK PERIOD...DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH THE FLOW BUCKLES. THE 12Z UKMET IS THE MOST SUBDUED WITH THE SHORTWAVE FOR WEDNESDAY...BUT BRINGS A STRONGER SHORTWAVE TRACKING THROUGH THE MIDWEST ON THURSDAY...SIMILAR TO WHAT THE 12Z CANADIAN GLOBAL IS ADVERTISING. MEANWHILE...THE 12Z GFS AND NAM ARE MORE CONVECTIVELY AGRESSIVE WITH THE SHORTWAVE(S) ON WEDNESDAY...AND SUBSEQUENTLY SHIFT THE BAROCLINIC ZONE/MOISTURE AXIS MUCH FARTHER SOUTH ON THURSDAY...KEEPING US DRY. WITH MUCH OF THE CHANCES HINGING ON CONVECTION...PLANNING ON CARRYING JUST CHANCE POPS...MOSTLY ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF OF THE CWA WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY...AND WILL NOT BITE ON THE LIKELY POPS ON WEDNESDAY THE MAV IS ADVERTISING JUST YET...ESPECIALLY AFTER LOOKING AT THE 12Z EUROPEAN. THE CONSENSUS OF THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IS FOR SUBTLE HEIGHT FALLS TOWARD THE END OF THE WORK WEEK...WITH CONFLUENT WESTERLY FLOW INTO THE WEEKEND. WITH THE USUALLY DRY WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE FOR THE MOST PART...LOOKING FOR DRY CONDITIONS FRIDAY-SUNDAY...BUT WILL ALWAYS NEED TO BE LEARY OF EMBEDDED FAST MOVINGS SHORTWAVES/WEAK COLD FRONTS. LOOKING FOR TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE TO RUN A BIT BELOW NORMAL...BUT STILL PLEASANTLY IN THE LOW/MID 70S FOR HIGHS WITH NIGHTS IN THE 45-55 DEGREE RANGE. MARINE... A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING INTO LOWER MICHIGAN TODAY WILL SEND A WARM FRONT NORTHWARD TO NEAR SAGINAW BAY THIS EVENING. WINDS HAVE DECREASED AS THE SURFACE TROUGH HAS MOVED INTO THE AREA...THUS THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HAS BEEN CANCELLED. STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND GUSTS TO 50 KNOTS FOR THE NEARSHORE AREAS. FURTHER OUT OVER THE OPEN WATERS...THE COLD AIR SHOULD CREATE A STABLE LAYER OVER LAKE HURON AND LIMIT THE ABILITY FOR STRONG WINDS GUSTS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT DOWN TO THE SURFACE. LARGE HAIL MAY STILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE OPEN WATERS. ACROSS NORTHERN LAKE HURON...WINDS WILL BACK AROUND TO THE WEST OVERNIGHT WITH SOME WIND GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION ON TUESDAY WITH WINDS BECOMING LIGHT BY LATE AFTERNOON. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. LAKE HURON...NONE. LAKE ST CLAIR...NONE.
