Hail and Damaging Winds in Michigan, July 18 to 19, 2013

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
507 PM EDT THU JUL 18 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 506 PM EDT THU JUL 18 2013

COUPLE OF SHORTWAVES WITHIN QUICK WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT DRIVING
CLUSTERS OF TSRA ACROS NORTHEAST MN/ADJACENT ONTARIO AND LK
SUPERIOR. SCT SHRA/TSRA HAVE FORMED OVR SCNTRL UPR MICHIGAN LAST 2
HOURS IN AREA OF CONVERGENCE WITH FLOW OFF LK MICHIGAN. PROBABLY
PRETTY EVIDENT...BUT WARM FRONT HAS SURGED INTO SOUTHERN PORTION OF
LK SUPERIOR. POOLING OF UPR 80S/LWR 90S TEMPS AND DWPNTS 70-75F IS
RESULTING IN HEAT INDEX VALUES UPR 90S/AROUND 100 OVER MANY PARTS OF
WEST HALF OF CWA. TSRA EXTENT/INTENSITY/COVERAGE FOR TONIGHT IS MAIN
FOCUS OF THE FORECAST.

HEAT/HUMIDITY CONTINUES THROUGH EARLY EVENING. WARM FRONT WILL
CONTINUE NORTHWARD ACROSS LK SUPERIOR...PLACING CWA FIRMLY INTO
THE WARM SECTOR FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT. INSTABILITY IN WARM SECTOR
IMPRESSIVE WITH SBCAPES OVER 3000J/KG AND MLCAPES OVER 1500J/KG.
DEEP LAYER SHEAR OVER 40 KTS. STORMS THAT FORMED EARLIER THIS AFTN
HAVE BEEN ROTATING BUT SO FAR THE ROTATION HAS MAINLY STAYED ALOFT
AND STORMS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH MUCH PAST -15C. LIGHTNING
AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS MAIN THREAT WITH THE POP UP STORMS ONGOING AT
THIS TIME. BIGGER ISSUE IS CLUSTER OF TSRA JUST ENTERING WESTERN LK
SUPERIOR AND POTENTIAL FOR THESE TO GROW UPSCALE AND FOLLOW WARM
FRONT ACROSS LK SUPERIOR INTO WESTERN UPR MICHIGAN BY EARLY EVENING.
STILL SOME POSSIBILITY THAT ISOLD STORMS MAY TRY TO FORM OVER
WESTERN UPR MICHIGAN AHEAD OF THIS LINE...BUT THUS FAR THIS HAS BEEN
LIMITED. SWOMCD ISSUED RECENTLY BY SPC WHICH INDICATES THAT A WATCH
MAY BE COMING ACROSS CWA.

AFTER THIS INITIAL ACTIVITY /THROUGH 02Z THIS EVENING/ ATTN WILL BE
OVER NORTHERN MN CLOSEST TO SHARP WARM FRONT AND WHERE WARM FRONT
HAS BEEN MOST AGGRESSIVE IN SURGING NORTHWARD. SCT TSRA ARE EXPECTED
TO FORM THERE THIS EVENING THEN DUE TO STRONGER 0-1KM SHEAR OVER 20
KTS AND MAIN SHORTWAVE CROSSING SOUTHERN MANITOBA SWEEPING ESE
ACROSS LK SUPERIOR AND UPR MICHIGAN...TSRA WILL ROLL ALONG AND JUST
SOUTH OF WARM FRONT FOLLOWING H85-H3 THICKNESS LINES. H7-H5 WINDS
INCREASE TO 40-55 KTS AND BECOME PERPENDICULAR TO THE COLD FRONT
THAT MOVES INTO NORTHERN MN LATE THIS EVENING. SCENARIO WOULD
SUPPORT DAMAGING WINDS AS THIS LINE OF STORMS MOVE THROUGH. VARIOUS
HI RES MODEL REFLECTIVITY FIELDS LINING UP WITH THIS GENERAL
IDEA...THOUGH DETAILS VARY. TOUGH TO GET TOO SPECIFIC CONSIDERING
THE SHRA/TSRA HAVE NOT FORMED YET OVER NORTHERN MN. IF THIS
OCCURS...TSRA COULD BECOME FORWARD PROPAGATING FOLLOWING A MOTION
CLOSE TO FORWARD PROPAGATING CORFIDI VECTORS. IF THIS OCCURS...TSRA
WOULD MOVE INTO FAR WEST UPR MICHIGAN LATE THIS EVENING/MIDNIGHT AND
SLIDE ACROSS REST OF CWA AFTER MIDNIGHT BUT BEFORE DAYBREAK FRIDAY.

COLD FRONT AND SHRA/TSRA SAG SOUTH ACROSS UPR MICHIGAN FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH ON FRIDAY. KEPT POPS PRETTY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD GOING.
MODELS REALLY HAVE NOT MADE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO PREVIOUS
FORECASTS. MSLP/MOISTURE PATTERN WOULD FAVOR SOME SCT-BKN LOW CLOUDS
WITH SOME SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTH AND POSSIBLE TSRA IN THE SOUTH.
BY LATE AFTN...MOST AREAS WILL BE DONE WITH PRECIPITATION AND OUR
STRETCH OF HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL FINALLY BE ON ITS WAY OUT.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 506 PM EDT THU JUL 18 2013

QUITE THE CHANGE IN STORE FOR THE WEEKEND AS THE UPPER TROUGH OVER
HUDSON BAY AMPLIFIES LEADING TO A COOL AND VERY PLEASANT SUMMER
WEEKEND. THE MODELS INDICATE A SURGE OF COLD ADVECTION LATE FRI
NIGHT INTO SATURDAY BEHIND A SECONDARY SHORT WAVE...ALLOWING 850MB
TEMPS TO DROP TO BELOW 10C BY SAT EVENING. THE NAM IS AGRESSIVE AND
SLOWER WITH THE TREATMENT OF THIS WAVE...WITH FAIRLY STRONG Q-VECT
CONVERGENCE AND PVA SATURDAY MORNING ACROSS THE EAST. WOULD NOT BE
SHOCKED TO SEE AN ISOLATED SHOWER SATURDAY MORNING...BUT THE
ATMOSPHERE IS FAIRLY DRY SO WILL LIMIT POPS TO SCHC AT BEST.
OTHERWISE...THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND SHOULD BE QUITE NICE WITH
HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL. AMAZING THAT AFTER PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES AROUND 200 PCT OF NORMAL TODAY...THAT THEY WILL DROP TO ONLY
40 PCT OF NORMAL BY SAT AFTN. IN FACT...IT MAY END UP BEING A LITTLE
ON THE CHILLY SIDE SUN MORNING WITH HIGH PRES OVERHEAD AND 850MB
TEMPS DROPPING TO 6C. WOULD NOT BE SHOCKED TO SEE SOME 30S FOR LOWS
SUNDAY MORNING...BUT IN GENERAL WILL GO WITH LOWER-MID 40S. THE HIGH
SHIFTS TO THE EAST OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY...WHICH ALLOWS FOR WEAK
RETURN FLOW TO SET UP ACROSS THE AREA. ANOTHER NICE DAY IN
STORE...WITH BEST WARM ADVECTION WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA AND ANY
ASSOCIATED PCPN WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA. MOISTURE BEGINS TO INCREASE
ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT...AS A WARM FRONT RETURNS NORTHWARD.
STRONGER WARM ADVECTION ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER WOULD ALLOW FOR AT
LEAST CHANCE POPS OVERNIGHT...ALTHOUGH THE THINKING IS THAT THE GFS
IS A LITTLE OVERDONE WITH ITS DEPICTION OF A MCS TYPE FEATURE MOVING
ACROSS NRN WI AND FAR SRN UPPER MI.

FRI...AS UPR TROF CENTERED OVER HUDSON BAY DEEPENS INTO ONTARIO...
COLD FNT MOVING INTO WRN UPR MI ARND SUNRISE ON FRI WL MOVE TO THE
SE OF THE CWA IN THE AFTN. WITH THE ARRIVAL OF DRIER AIR/VIGOROUS
NEGATIVE H85 THETA E ADVECTION...LINGERING SHRA/TS WL END NW TO
SE...BUT GOING LIKELY POPS OVER THE SE CWA IN THE MRNG SEEM
APPROPRIATE. STEEPENING MID LVL LAPSE RATES MAY MAINTAIN POPS OVER
MAINLY THE SCENTRAL FOR A LONGER TIME...BUT THE SHARP DRYING ALF WL
ACT TO LIMIT THIS POTENTIAL. THE RETURN OF MORE AFTN SUNSHINE...H85
TEMPS AS HI AS 17C AT 00Z SAT...AND DOWNSLOPING WNW FLOW WL HELP
BOOST MAX TEMPS OVER THE SCENTRL WELL INTO THE 80S TO NEAR 90. THE
NW FLOW OFF LK SUP WL BRING COOLER WX TO THE W.

FRI NGT INTO SAT...MODELS INDICATE A REINFORCING SHRTWV/SECONDARY
COLD FNT WL SWEEP THRU THE UPR LKS. IN FACT...THE 00Z NAM SHOWS MORE
SGNFT DPVA/QVECTOR CNVGC AND GENERATES SOME PCPN LATE FRI NGT/EARLY
SAT. THE 00Z GFS/12Z ECMWF SHOW MORE DEEP LYR QVECTOR DVGC/A WEAKER
SFC REFLECTION/FNT WITH DRY AIR DOMINATING. SINCE THE DISTURBANCE/
FNT WL BE ARRIVING AT MIN DIURNAL HEATING TIME WITH AN ABSENCE OF
ANY MOISTENING AT H85...OPTED TO MAINTAIN GOING DRY FCST AND JUST
ADD MORE CLDS TO THE FCST. THESE CLDS WL

LATER SAT INTO SUN...UNDER CONFLUENT NW FLOW ALF...CNDN HI PRES IS
FCST TO BUILD OVER LK SUP SAT EVNG AND DRIFT ONLY SLOWLY SE TO OVER
LK HURON LATE SUN. WITH THE ARRIVAL OF MUCH DRIER AIR /PWAT FCST TO
REACH CLOSE TO 0.50 INCH BY 12Z SUN/...EXPECT MOCLR CONDITIONS. A
STEADY N WIND OFF LK SUP WL LIMIT THE DIURNAL TEMP RECOVERY ON
SAT... ESPECIALLY NEAR THE SHORE. OVERNGT LOWS ON SAT NGT WL FALL
SHARPLY INTO THE 40S OVER THE COOLER INTERIOR LOCATIONS EARLY SUN
MRNG WITH LIGHT WINDS. WITH H85 TEMPS PROGGED NEAR 10C LATER
SUN...EXPECT DAYTIME MAX TEMPS TO RISE INTO THE 70S AWAY THE
MODERATING INFLUENCE OF THE GREAT LKS AS RELATIVELY WEAK PRES
GRADIENT ALLOWS LK BREEZES TO FORM OFF ALL THE LKS.

EXTENDED...AS IS OFTEN THE CASE IN SUMMER...MODELS HAVE SHOWN
CONSIDERABLE INCONSISTENCIES IN THE HANDLING OF SHRTWVS EMBEDDED IN
WNW FLOW ALF EARLY NEXT WEEK. SOME OF THE MOST PROGRESSIVE GUIDANCE
INDICATES SOME PCPN MAY REACH THE WRN CWA AS EARLY AS LATE SUN.
CONSIDERING THE CONSIDERABLE INCONSISTENCY IN A RELATIVELY
UNPREDICTABLE PATTERN...OPTED TO MAINTAIN THE MODEL CONSENSUS FCST.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 159 PM EDT THU JUL 18 2013

SCT TSRA DEVELOPING SCNTRL MAY IMPACT SAW THROUGH MID AFTN. ADDITIONAL
TSRA MAY AFFECT IWD THOUGH THEY MAY END UP JUST EAST OF THAT SITE.
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED...BUT HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND STRONG WIND GUSTS
MAY OCCUR. ADDITIONAL TSRA POSSIBLE TONIGHT AS COMPLEX OF SHRA/TSRA
FORMING OVER NORTHERN MN ROLL ESE THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
HOURS. MAIN HAZARD WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY
RAIN. EXPECT PRECIP TO END AROUND DAYBREAK ON FRIDAY. MAIN ISSUE FOR
MOST OF FRIDAY WILL BE GUSTY WNW WINDS...ESPECIALLY AT MORE EXPOSED
CMX LOCATION WHERE WIND GUSTS COULD REACH OVER 20 KTS.
&&

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 506 PM EDT THU JUL 18 2013

WITH RELATIVELY WEAK PRES GRADIENT AND HI STABILITY OVER THE
RELATIVELY COOL LAKE WATERS...EXPECT WINDS NO HIGHER THAN 20 KTS
THIS FORECAST PERIOD. THE MAIN WEATHER CONCERN WILL BE FOG WITH A
HUMID AIRMASS DOMINATING. THIS FOG IS LIKELY TO BE MOST WIDESPREAD
TONIGHT FOLLOWING SOME STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
THAT WILL FURTHER SATURATE THE MARINE LAYER. THE ARRIVAL OF DRIER
AIR BEHIND A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON FRI SHOULD DISSIPATE THE FOG.
