.AVIATION...
//DISCUSSION...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF CYCLE ALTHOUGH A FRONTAL
PASSAGE OVERNIGHT WILL DEVELOP SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WHICH MAY DROP CRITERIA INTO MVFR IF THEY HAPPEN TO PASS OVER A TAF
SITE. WITH MBS/FNT IN THE PATH OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAKING
THEIR WAY IN FROM WESTERN MICHIGAN WILL INCLUDE SHOWERS AT THESE TAF
SITES DURING THE EARLY PART OF THE TAFS...HOWEVER WILL LEAVE OUT
THUNDER AS THIS ACTIVITY IS WEAKENING AS IT MOVES EAST. FOR THE REST
OF THE TAF SITES AND THE REST OF THE NIGHT THE COVERAGE AND TIMING
ARE TOO UNCERTAIN TO INCLUDE FOR THE OTHER SITES AT THIS POINT.
GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL QUICKLY DECREASE THIS EVENING AND
BECOME NORTHWESTERLY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THURSDAY MORNING.
FOR DTW...A FEW CONCERNS TOO KEEP IN MIND OVER THE NEXT 30 HOURS.
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO GUST UP TO 25 KNOTS THROUGH THIS
EVENING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THERE IS A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FRONT TONIGHT BUT CONFIDENCE IN
COVERAGE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE AT THE MOMENT. A WIND SHIFT FROM SW
TO NE WILL OCCUR AFTER THE FRONT PASSES THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
//DTW THRESHOLD THREATS...
* MODERATE CONFIDENCE CEILINGS WILL FALL BETWEEN 3000 AND 5000 FEET
THURSDAY MORNING AND LAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
* LOW CONFIDING IN MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES FROM WIDELY
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.
* MODERATE CONFIDENCE THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR TONIGHT AND
THURSDAY MORNING BUT LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 328 PM EDT WED JUN 8 2011
SHORT TERM...THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT
PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN IS THE THREAT FOR CONVECTION THIS EVENING.
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED AHEAD OF A SHORTWAVE ALONG A PREFRONTAL
TROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING RESULTING IN SOME WIND/HAIL REPORTS AS
THEY TRAINED FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS NORTHERN LOWER MI. DESPITE
OUTFLOW TRIGGERING NUMEROUS UPDRAFTS ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF
THIS ACTIVITY CAPPING REMAINED SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT ANY SOUTHWARD
DEVELOPMENT INTO OUR CWA. THE QUESTION HEADING INTO THE EVENING IS
THE DEGREE OF ORGANIZATION AND POTENTIAL SEVERE THREAT ASSOCIATED
WITH COLD FRONTAL CONVECTION EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTN.
HIGHER RESOLUTION GUIDANCE CONFIRMS CURRENT THINKING THAT ONGOING
CONVECTION TO THE NORTHWEST WILL INHIBIT SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTLY UPSTREAM...POTENTIALLY REDUCING THE POTENTIAL FOR AREAS
FURTHER NORTH AND EAST. DESPITE UNCERTAINTY AT THIS TIME...THE
THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER APPEARS TO BE SOMEWHAT LIMITED AS
CONVECTION SHOULD BE PREDOMINANTLY ELEVATED IN A WEAKLY SHEARED
ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND
PROFILES...RESULTING IN A MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL THREAT AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR SURFACE WIND GUSTS OVER 60MPH WHEREVER CONVECTION CAN
BECOME SFC BASED. DRY AIR IN THE MID AND LOWER LEVELS MAY ALSO
SUPPORT A FEW BOWING SEGMENTS. THE AREA SHOULD BE CLEAR OF THE MOST
ACTIVE WX BY AROUND 06Z. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FAR NORTH/NORTHWEST
AREAS...IT LOOKS LIKE ONE MORE WARM NIGHT FOR SE MI AS THE FRONT
SAGS SOUTHWARD TOWARD DETROIT AND THE I-94 CORRIDOR BY MORNING.
LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY
THE SURFACE COLD FRONT NOW EXTENDING FROM UPPER MICHIGAN INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS IS FORECAST TO PUSH ACROSS FAR SE MI THURSDAY MORNING
WHILE HIGH PRESSURE EXPANDS ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES.
OVERALL...THE SOUTHWARD PUSH TO THE SURFACE FRONT SHOULD SLOW AS THE
FRONT BECOMES ORIENTED NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE FLOW ALOFT. THE DEGREE
OF HEATING AND DAYTIME DESTABILIZATION ON THURSDAY WILL RELY BOTH ON
THE TIMING OF THE FRONT AND COVERAGE OF CONVECTION OVERNIGHT TONIGHT
INTO EARLY THURS MORNING. AN EARLY MORNING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER
THE REGION WOULD LIKELY SEND RAIN COOLED OUTFLOW SOUTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA...THEREBY ELIMINATING CHANCES FOR CONVECTION AFTER 12Z
THURS. IF THIS DOES NOT OCCUR HOWEVER...THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
CONVECTION ACROSS AT LEAST THE SOUTH HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA
WITHIN THE RESIDUAL MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS. IT IS FOR THIS
REASON THAT SPC HAS KEPT A SLIGHT RISK FORE SEVERE WX FOR METRO
DETROIT AND POINTS SOUTH ON THURS. OBSERVATIONS ACROSS THE FAR
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION INDICATE A SHALLOW LAYER OF COLD AIR
NORTH OF THE SFC FRONT. THIS AIRMASS WILL OVERSPREAD SE MI ON
THURS...CAUSING LOCATIONS ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA TO SEE THEIR HIGH TEMPS IN THE MORNING. MODEL
SOUNDINGS ACTUALLY INDICATE PORTIONS OF THE SAGINAW VALLEY AND THUMB
REMAINING STUCK IN THE 50S THURS AFTERNOON DUE TO THE LAKE HURON
MARINE MODIFICATION UNDER THE NORTHERLY FLOW.
THE COOL AIR SHOULD FULLY ENGULF SE MI BY THURS NIGHT HAS THE HIGH
BUILDS NORTH OF LAKE HURON. THE 12Z MODEL SUITE REMAIN IN STRONG
AGREEMENT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN MCS OVER IOWA THURS NIGHT ON THE
NOSE OF STRONG 850MB INFLOW. THE REMNANTS OF THIS MCS WILL LIKELY
TRACK INTO WESTERN LOWER MI FRI MORNING AS THE LOW LEVEL JET VEERS.
AS THIS MCS ADVANCES INTO LOWER MI...THE LATEST INDICATIONS ARE THAT
IT WILL OUTRUN THE BETTER INSTABILITY AND THUS SHOULD WEAKEN FAIRLY
RAPIDLY AS IT TRACKS ACROSS THE STATE. THE UPPER LOW NOW OVER THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST IS HOWEVER FORECAST TO TRACK INTO THE DAKOTAS/NRN
MN ON FRIDAY. IN RESPONSE...SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL TRANSPORT
THE VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS BACK INTO SE MI LATE FRIDAY INTO
FRIDAY NIGHT. THE OVERALL COVERAGE AND LOCATION OF POTENTIAL
CONVECTION LATE FRIDAY WILL LIKELY DEPEND ON THE ORIENTATION AND
LOCATION OF OUTFLOW FROM THE EARLIER MCS. THERE DOES APPEAR THE
POTENTIAL FOR MCS DEVELOPMENT OVER LOWER MI FRI NIGHT.
THE 12Z MODEL SUITE ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT IN SHOWING THE UPPER
LOW LIFTING ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES THIS WEEKEND. MODELS
HAVE ALSO TRENDED A LITTLE FASTER BRINGING SOME DRIER MID LEVEL AIR
INTO THE REGION ON SATURDAY. MODEL SOUNDINGS HOWEVER CONTINUE TO
SHOW SOME RESIDUAL INSTABILITY TO WARRANT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS
ON SATURDAY. IF A FRIDAY NIGHT MCS DOES DEVELOP OVER LOWER MI...
SUBSIDENCE IN ITS WAKE MAY SUPPORT REMOVAL OF SAT POPS. THE PASSAGE
OF THE UPPER LOW WILL BRING COOLER AND DRIER AIR TO THE FORECAST
AREA BY SUNDAY. 850MB TEMPS ON SUNDAY ARE ACTUALLY FORECAST TO DROP
TO +6 TO +8C. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR QUITE A BIT
OF DAYTIME CU. THESE FACTORS SHOULD SUPPORT FAIRLY COOL TEMPS ON SUN
/HIGHS UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S/.
THE MEDIUM RANGE SUITE ARE IN GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT IN INDICATING
A BUILDING RIDGE OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINING IN CONTROL ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL
WARRANT A DRY FORECAST WITH TEMPS NEAR EARLY JUNE AVERAGES.
MARINE...
WINDS WILL TURN NORTHERLY OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND WILL INCREASE TO 15
TO 20 KTS BY MORNING. ALTHOUGH SOME LOCATIONS OVER LAKE HURON MAY
SEE OCCASIONAL GUSTS APPROACHING SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA...EXPECTED
COVERAGE AND DURATION IS SUCH THAT NO ADVISORIES ARE ANTICIPATED.
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL SHIFT SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE SOUTHERN HALF
OF LAKE HURON...AS WELL AS LAKE ST CLAIR AND THE MI WATERS OF LAKE
ERIE...AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS ON THURSDAY AND AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND.
