AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
410 AM EDT TUE MAY 10 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY

LITTLE CHANGE NOTED IN THE OVERALL LARGE SCALE PATTERN TODAY...WITH
AN EXPANSIVE UPPER RIDGE NOW STRETCHING FROM THE GULF COAST INTO THE
GREAT LAKES.  SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN CONTINUES TO LIE ON THE
IMMEDIATE DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF THE MEAN RIDGE AXIS.  CONVECTIVELY
ENHANCED MID LEVEL WAVE DROPPING DOWN THE RIDGE PROVIDING DEEP
ENOUGH ASCENT TO TAP A STEEPER LAPSE RATE ENVIRONMENT ABOVE
600 MB...WITH A NOTEWORTHY INCREASE IN SHOWER/ELEVATED THUNDER
COVERAGE COMMENCING ACROSS CENTRAL/NORTHERN MI AT PRESS TIME.
FORCING FIELD CERTAINLY BACKED BY A VEERING 40 KNOT NOCTURNAL LOW
LEVEL JET MAX EMERGING ACROSS SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN.  LATEST HRRR
GUIDANCE CAPTURES NEAR TERM TRENDS THE BEST...SUGGESTING SOME
PERSISTENCE IN THIS DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE MORNING COMMUTE BEFORE
DIMINISHING AS THE OVERALL FORCING WEAKENS UPON THE DEPARTURE OF THE
MID LEVEL SUPPORT AND THE DIURNAL DISRUPTION OF THE LOW LEVEL JET.
GIVEN TRENDS...WILL TARGET AREAS ROUGHLY NORTH OF I-69 WITH THE
HIGHEST POPS FOR THE MORNING PERIOD.

THE RIDGE POSITIONING WILL EFFECTIVELY RETAIN AN EAST TO
SOUTHEASTERLY COMPONENT IN THE LOW LEVELS THROUGH THE DAY.  THIS
SETUP BRINGS THE HIGHER MID LEVEL THETA-E/INSTABILITY PLUME TO THE
DOORSTEP...BUT PROVIDES RESISTANCE FOR DEEPER PENETRATION OF THIS
AIRMASS FOR PEAK HEATING.  GIVEN THE WELL-CAPPED 800-600 MB PROFILE
AND EXISTENCE OF A 6K FT DEEP/VERY DRY SUB CLOUD LAYER...PROSPECTS
FOR SEEING ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT IN THE AFTERNOON
LOOK SLIM.  LATE DAY CONVECTIVE INITIATION WILL LIKELY COMMENCE
ALONG THE SURFACE WARM/STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM
THE UPPER MISS VALLEY INTO CENTRAL IN/SOUTHERN OH...WITH SOME HIGH
RES MODEL SOLUTIONS SUGGESTING SOME FORM OF THIS CONVECTION SPILLING
EASTWARD AND CLIPPING FAR SOUTHERN AREAS TOWARD EARLY EVENING.  WITH
THIS SCENARIO CARRYING TREMENDOUS RELIANCE ON PINPOINTING AN EXACT
TRAJECTORY...CONFIDENCE IS TYPICALLY LOW...ESPECIALLY WHEN THE
EASTWARD EXPANSION WOULD PROJECT INTO A LESS FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC
PROFILE.  WILL GO AHEAD AND TRIM POPS OUT FOR THE AFTERNOON PERIOD
ROUGHLY NORTH OF I-69/EAST OF I-75...RETAINING JUST A LOW POP FOR
POINTS TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST GIVEN THE CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE HIGHER
THETA-E/INSTABILITY GRADIENT.

MOISTURE WILL TEND TO POOL AT THE TOP OF THE DRY/ELEVATED MIXED
LAYER TODAY /6-7K FT LEVEL/...SUPPORTING A PERSISTENT FIELD OF BKN
ALTOCU.  WITH THE FLOW STILL OUT OF THE EAST-SOUTHEAST...MIXING OFF
THE SURFACE WILL BE DIFFICULT WITH THE DEGREE OF WARMING ABOVE THE
BOUNDARY LAYER.  GIVEN THIS AND THE PROSPECTS FOR CLOUD COVER TO
LIMIT INSOLATION...WILL SEE READINGS ACHIEVE SIMILAR NUMBERS AS
NOTED YESTERDAY...GENERALLY RANGING FROM LOWER 60S ALONG THE LAKE
HURON INFLUENCED THUMB REGION TO UPPER 60S SOUTHWEST.

&&

.LONG TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY

UPPER RIDGE AXIS WILL SHIFT INTO MICHIGAN TONIGHT AND REMAIN
OVERHEAD UNTIL THURSDAY MORNING AS UPPER TROUGHING DIGS WEST OF THE
ROCKIES. THIS PATTERN WILL MAKE FOR A TRICKY CONVECTIVE FORECAST AS
WE LOOK TO UPSTREAM DEVELOPMENT AND SMALLER SCALE FEATURES TO KICK
THUNDERSTORMS/SHOWERS OFF OVER SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN.

UPPER WAVE EJECTING OUT OF THE TROUGH AND LIFTING UP INTO THE
NORTHERN PLAINS WILL ADVECT WARMER AIR ALOFT AND ADDITIONAL MOISTURE
INTO LOWER MICHIGAN TONIGHT. THIS SHOULD KEEP A STABLE LAYER AT THE
SURFACE WHILE ALLOWING INSTABILITY TO CONTINUE TO BUILD ALOFT. KEPT
POPS LOW WITH THE ABSENCE OF LARGE-SCALE FORCING...WITH HIGHEST POPS
OVER THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA NEAR THE BEST THETA-E
ADVECTION AND CLOSER TO THE INSTABILITY GRADIENT. SIMILAR SET-UP
SHOULD EXIST AS WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY AND POPS REMAIN LOW. THINK
THERE WILL THEN BE A BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND MORE SO ON THURSDAY AS MODELS START TO BRING
SMALL CHUNKS OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY (SOME LIKELY CONVECTIVELY INDUCED)
UP THROUGH THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. THIS WOULD MAKE SENSE AS THE
WESTERN FLANK OF THE RIDGE AND INSTABILITY AXIS DRAW CLOSER. HEIGHTS
OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES THEN LOOK TO FALL THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE
RIDGE BREAKS DOWN AND THE UPPER TROUGH/LOW PUSH ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE A BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE MIDWEEK PERIOD WILL CONTINUE
TO RUN UNSEASONABLY WARM...WARMING INTO THE 70S ON WEDNESDAY AND
CLOSER TO 80 ON THURSDAY.

BEST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS THEN LOOK TO OCCUR
FRIDAY AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE UPPER LOW VERY SLOWLY MIGRATES
FROM THE PLAINS INTO THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS. TRENDS IN THE
MODELS OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS BEEN SLOWER WITH BOTH THE
BREAK-DOWN OF THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND THE ARRIVAL
OF THE UPPER LOW...AND THIS TREND IS FAVORED GIVEN THE BLOCKY
PATTERN. MOISTURE WRAPPING INTO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SURFACE AND
UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS (AND INTO LOWER MICHIGAN) LOOKS PRETTY
HEALTHY...WITH GFS PW VALUES RUNNING BETWEEN 1.0 AND 1.5 INCHES.
LATEST ROUND OF MODELS EVEN SHOW A POSSIBLE TAP OFF THE ATLANTIC.
BIGGEST CHANGE TO THE FORECAST OVERALL WAS TO RAISE TEMPERATURES
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AS A SLOWER FRONTAL PASSAGE...NOT UNTIL EARLY
NEXT WEEK...IS NOW EXPECTED.

ITEM OF GREATEST UNCERTAINTY WHICH COULD AFFECT THE FORECAST LOOKS
TO BE HOW FAR SOUTH/NORTH THE TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW ACROSS THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY ENDS UP BEING. CURRENT CONSENSUS IS A
TRACK ACROSS THE OHIO/TENNESSEE VALLEYS...BUT WILL WATCH AS MODELS
HAVE BEEN MORE AGRESSIVE LATELY WITH DIGGING A STRONG UPPER LOW INTO
EASTERN CANADA AND NEW ENGLAND...KICKING THE SYSTEM THAT WOULD
AFFECT US FURTHER SOUTH. 10.00Z EURO HAS ACTUALLY TRENDED MUCH
FURTHER SOUTH WITH A TRACK TOWARDS THE GULF COAST. THIS SOLUTION IS
NOT FAVORED AT THIS POINT GIVEN IT LARGE DEVIATION FROM ITS PREVIOUS
RUN AND OVERALL MODEL CONSENSUS. WILL HOWEVER NEED TO WATCH THIS
SCENARIO AS IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS TRACK HAS APPEARED...AND
AS IT WOULD MAKE FOR A DRIER WEEKEND THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.

&&

.MARINE...

WINDS WILL HOLD OUT OF THE EAST TO SOUTHEAST THROUGH THURSDAY AS A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SLOWLY MOVES ACROSS THE PLAINS.  WHILE THE
GRADIENT DOES INCREASE SLIGHTLY...STRONG STABILITY OVER THE WATERS
WILL LIMIT THE GUST POTENTIAL DURING THIS TIME.  DESPITE THIS BEING
AN ONSHORE FLOW FOR SOME LOCALES...THE STABILITY WILL ALSO KEEP
WAVE HEIGHT GROWTH IN CHECK.  THERE IS A LOW CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
TODAY...MAINLY DURING THE MORNING HOURS.

&&

.AVIATION...ISSUED 149 AM EDT TUE MAY 10 2011

AREAS OF SHOWERS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG AN ELONGATED SHORTWAVE
MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN. COVERAGE CONTINUES TO
INCREASE PER LATEST RADAR TRENDS...ATLEAST IN THE VICINITY OF THE
SOUTHERN TAF SITES AND LOOKS WORTHY OF A MENTION IN VFR CEILINGS.
AT DTW...SMALL CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS EVOLVED UPSTREAM...
CARRYING A SOUTHEAST TRAJECTORY. GIVEN THE MOVEMENT...THIS CLUSTER
WILL LIKELY PASS JUST TO THE WEST/SOUTHWEST OF THE TERMINAL
BETWEEN 0630-08Z. WILL INCLUDE A VCTS MENTION GIVEN THE PROXIMITY.

CLOUD DECKS WILL TEND TO LOWER AS MID LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES
THROUGH THE NIGHT. THIS WILL PROMPT A DROP IN BASES TOWARD THE
5-6K FT LEVEL DURING THE EARLY-MID MORNING PERIOD...AND AROUND
3500 FT BY THE EVENING HOURS. EASTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD...GUSTING TO AROUND 16KTS THIS AFTERNOON WITH
MIXING.
