NWS Detroit, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 11, 2:44 PM EST, 26 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 344 PM EDT SUN JUL 11 2010 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT COMPARED TO YESTERDAY...VERY SIMILAR FORECAST ON TAP HEADING INTO THE EVENING WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA. SURFACE RIDGE AXIS HAS GRADUALLY SHIFTED EASTWARD ALLOWING DECENT SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW TO ADVECT SLIGHTLY HIGHER TEMPERATURES INTO THE AREA. DECENT LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES ACROSS THE AREA AS WELL WITH THE 12Z DTX SOUNDING NEARLY DRY ADIABATIC THROUGH 650 MB. MOISTURE AVAILABILITY IS SOMEWHAT LACKING THOUGH WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S. THIS HAS LEAD TO AROUND 1200 J/KG OF CAPE ACROSS THE AREA. OTHER MAIN LIMITING FACTOR FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION IS THE LACK OF ANY LARGE SCALE FORCING. ONCE AGAIN...ANY CONVECTION THAT DOES MANAGE TO DEVELOP HAS TO DEPEND ON LOCAL SMALL SCALE FEATURES. SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...THE BEST CHANCES ARE ACROSS THE NORTH AND WEST IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE THERMAL TROUGHING. THIS IS SUPPORTED WELL BY RECENT RADAR TRENDS WHICH SHOW THE STRONGEST STORMS OVER THE SAGINAW VALLEY AND THE THUMB. WITH A STRONGER SOUTHWESTERLY WIND TODAY...LAKE BREEZES HAVE STRUGGLED TO DEVELOP BUT THERE HAVE STILL BEEN SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON SO WILL CONTINUE ISOLATED MENTION THROUGH THE EVENING. OTHER MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR PRECIP EARLY TOMORROW MORNING AS A POTENT MID LEVEL VORT MAX CURRENTLY SEEN ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ACROSS IOWA MOVES INTO THE REGION. TIMING IS THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THE TONIGHT PERIOD SINCE IT IS POSSIBLE A FEW SHOWERS MAY ENTER THE AREA PRIOR TO 12Z. THIS MORNINGS RUN OF THE NAM CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE WITH CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ISSUES SO DID NOT PUT MUCH WEIGHT INTO THAT SOLUTION. MEANWHILE...12Z GFS CONTINUES TO SUPPORT A MUCH WEAKER AND FURTHER SOUTH SURFACE LOW. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY...WILL RETAIN CHANCE WORDING FOR A FEW HOURS PRIOR TO 12Z MAINLY WEST OF THE 175 CORRIDOR. DID NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM MOS GUIDANCE ON MIN TEMPS WITH VALUES IN THE MID 60S EXCEPT FOR THE DETROIT HEAT ISLAND WHERE TEMPS WILL LIKE ONLY DROP INTO THE LOWER 70S. && .LONG TERM... STRONG SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY SEEN ON WATER VAPOR MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL IA WILL CONTINUE EASTWARD OVERNIGHT...AND WILL LIKELY EXTEND FROM SOUTHERN LOWER MI THROUGH INDIANA BY 12Z MONDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO DIG SOUTHEAST INTO ONTARIO...WITH THE SOUTHERN EXTENSION OF THE LOWERING HEIGHTS AND ATTENDANT COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY SETTLING SOUTHEAST INTO THE STATE. THE COMBINED CONTRIBUTION OF THESE FEATURES TOWARD AN INCREASE IN LARGER SCALE ASCENT THROUGH THE DAY WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIGHER END POPS GIVEN THE FAVORABLY MOIST AND WEAKLY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. THE STRONGEST FORCING ATTENDANT TO THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE NOW APPEARS TO REMAIN JUST SOUTH INTO THE NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY AS IT TRACKS EAST...TIED TO THE STRONGER HEIGHT FALLS/WEAK SURFACE LOW DEVELOPMENT AND ALONG THE NOSE OF 35-40 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET WRAPPING AROUND THE SOUTHERN BASE OF THIS SYSTEM. GIVEN AN ALREADY LACKLUSTER LOOKING DEEP LAYER WIND PROFILE...THIS SUGGESTS LESS IMPRESSIVE DYNAMICS WILL EXIST LOCALLY FOR SUSTAINING A MORE ORGANIZED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT. IN ADDITION...EARLY DAY CLOUD COVER/PRECIPITATION LEAVES THE OVERALL DESTABILIZATION POTENTIAL IN QUESTION. SHOULD A PERIOD OF BETTER DIABATIC HEATING EVOLVE INTO THE AFTERNOON...A COUPLE OF STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE CELLS COULD ORGANIZE. LINGERING SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDER WILL CONTINUE IN THE VINCINITY OF THE MAIN LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY AND/OR ANY RESIDUAL OUTFLOWS INTO MONDAY NIGHT...ALTHOUGH A DIURNALLY INDUCED DIMINISHING TREND IN COVERAGE WILL LIKELY COMMENCE OVERNIGHT. THE SECOND IN A SERIES OF CLOSED UPPER LOWS CURRENTLY CENTERED OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL EJECT EASTWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA THROUGH THE EARLY TO MID WEEK PERIOD. RESIDUAL LOW TO MID LEVEL TROUGHING COMBINED WITH DAYTIME HEATING/STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES...PERHAPS AIDED BY THE PASSAGE OF A WEAK/POORLY RESOLVED SHORTWAVE...WILL MAINTAIN A LOW SHOWER/THUNDER CHANCE THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. LOWERING HEIGHTS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST CONUS WILL THEN RESULT IN DOWNSTREAM UPPER RIDGE AMPLIFICATION INTO THE GREAT LAKES ON WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING MID LEVEL HEIGHTS UP OVER 592 DM BY EVENING AND ALLOW 850 MB TEMPERATURES TO REACH THE UPPER TEENS ACROSS THE SOUTH. GIVEN A WELL-MIXED ENVIRONMENT UP THROUGH THIS LAYER UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY WIND COMPONENT BEHIND THE DEPARTING SURFACE RIDGE...HIGHS OF UPPER 80S/NEAR 90 LOOK ATTAINABLE. MAIN AREA OF HEIGHT FALLS WILL SHIFT NORTHEAST AS THE UPPER LOW WOBBLES TOWARD HUDSON BAY WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY. THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE ACCOMPANYING COLD FRONT WILL TEND TO WEAKEN WITH TIME AS IT SHIFTS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT. DESPITE THIS...CHANCE POPS CERTAINLY REMAIN WARRANTED WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE OCCURRING LOCALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON...UNDER POSITIVE THETA-E ADVECTION/MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS AND A WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT CARRYING POTENTIALLY 2000 J/KG OF SBCAPE WITH SURFACE TEMPS AROUND 90/LOWER 90S. SUBTLE AND BRIEF COOLING/DRYING OF THE AIR MASS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE FOR FRIDAY...AS THE AREA REMAINS WITHIN PROGRESSIVE/ZONAL WESTERLY FLOW BENEATH THE CLUSTER OF CLOSED LOWS SITUATED OVER CANADA. ANOTHER LOW EMERGING OUT OF SOUTHWEST CANADA WILL DIG EAST-SOUTHEAST ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER NEXT WEEKEND... ALLOWING ANOTHER WEAKENING COLD FRONT TO SHIFT INTO THE GREAT LAKES DURING THIS TIME. GIVEN A SUFFICIENTLY MOIST/UNSTABLE RESIDENT ENVIRONMENT...AN ADJUSTMENT UPWARD IN POPS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED ONCE TIMING BECOMES MORE CERTAIN. && .MARINE... DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN LATER THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. HOWEVER...THE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL INCREASE AGAIN TOMORROW AS A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT MOVES EAST ACROSS THE REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY BRINGING A RETURN TO TRANQUIL CONDITIONS. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE ON THURSDAY IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. && .AVIATION...ISSUED 121 PM EDT SUN JUL 11 2010 VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS AT MOST TAF SITES. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTH...ESPECIALLY MBS...WHERE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING AND ARE EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM APPEARS TOO LOW TO BE INCLUDED IN THE SOUTHERN TAF SITES AT THIS TIME. CHANCE OF RAIN WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA TOMORROW MORNING AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY AS THIS SYSTEM APPROACHES. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. LAKE HURON...NONE. LAKE ST CLAIR...NONE.
