Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 2:48 PM EST, 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 348 PM EDT SAT JUN 22 2013 .SHORT TERM...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT TRENDS FROM LATE THIS MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON SUGGEST THAT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEMI-ORGANIZED SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS INCREASED SOMEWHAT. AS EXPECTED...THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 80S AND SURFACE DEW POINTS AROUND 70 YIELDING AVERAGE SBCAPES OF 2000-2500 J/KG. THE NOTABLE ADDITIONS TO THE MIX ARE TWO WELL DEFINED BOUNDARIES THAT WERE PRODUCED FROM MORNING CONVECTION TO THE WEST. ONE OF THESE BOUNDARY IS DRAPED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA (SOUTH OF M59) AND THE SECOND IS EDGING EAST INTO THE NORTHWEST/WEST CENTRAL CWA ALONG/NORTH OF M59. THE ADDED FORCING FROM THESE BOUNDARIES SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO INITIATE SCATTERED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON (EVEN WITH UPPER RIDGE CENTERED NEAR JXN PER ANALYSIS OF WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY). WHILE UPPER LEVEL WINDS REMAIN VERY WEAK...20 KNOTS OR LESS...WINDS IN THE 5-15KFT LAYER RANGE BETWEEN 25-35 KNOTS. THIS SLIGHTLY ENHANCED FLOW MAY ASSIST IN SHAPING THE INITIAL DISORGANIZED/WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS INTO OCCASIONAL SMALL BOWS/CLUSTERS...WHICH WOULD BRING SOME POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS WITH THE ACTIVITY. THE BEST LOW LEVEL FORCING FORECAST BY MESOSCALE MODELS...AND SUPPORTED BY VISIBLE SATELLITE/RADAR TRENDS...WILL TEND TO BRING THE MOST WIDESPREAD CONVECTION INITIALLY TO AREAS SOUTH OF M 59 IN THE VICINITY OF THE FIRST BOUNDARY (WHERE MOISTURE POOLING HAS BROUGHT TDS INTO THE LOWER 70S AND SBCAPES TO LOCALLY 3000-3500 J/KG). THE ACTIVITY MAY THEN MIGRATING NORTHWARD INTO THE EVENING AS LAKE BREEZE(S) AND OUTFLOW(S) FROM INITIAL CONVECTION INTERACT WITH THE SECOND BOUNDARY AS IT STALLS OVER PARTS OF THE REGION. WHILE THE MAIN HAZARD FROM THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH PRECIPITABLE H20 VALUES OF 1.50-1.75 INCHES...ANY SHORT TERM ORGANIZATION TO THE CONVECTION WILL INCREASE WIND GUST POTENTIAL WITH A FEW STORMS POSSIBLY PRODUCING SEVERE GUSTS TO NEAR 60 MPH. FREEZING LEVELS OF 15 KFT WILL GREATLY LIMIT HAIL POTENTIAL. WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...ACTIVITY WILL FADE OVERNIGHT WITH JUST LINGERING ISOLATED SHOWERS OR STORMS. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MILD AS THE WARM/HUMID AIRMASS CONDITIONS TO SLOWLY BUILD INTO THE AREA. EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE 65 TO 70 DEGREE RANGE UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. && .LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY LONGWAVE PATTERN WILL UNDERGO VERY NOTABLE TRANSITION BY THE END OF THE WEEK. STRONG RIDGING CONTINUES TO BUILD/STRENGTHEN OVER THE EASTERN CONUS WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER SW CANADA CONTINUES TO EJECT A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES UP AND AROUND THE RIDGE. SE MI WILL FALL JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE MAIN SW TO NE MIDLEVEL FLOW PIPELINE KEEPING UNDER THE RIDGE THROUGH ABOUT MIDWEEK. A FEW SHORTWAVES/CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES WILL TRY TO PUNCH THROUGH THE RIDGE AS FLOW BECOMES LESS AMPLIFIED...ALMOST ZONAL...WHEN A STRONG SHORTWAVES ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER LOW OPENS THE DOOR FOR IT TO PROGRESS EASTWARD ACROSS CANADA MID WEEK. STRONG JET MOVING ONSHORE OVER CALIFORNIA WILL THEN LEAD TO AN AMPLIFICATION OF THE LONGWAVE ONCE AGAIN BUT WITH A TROUGH SETTLING OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THIS WILL DROP TEMPS FROM AROUND 5 DEGREES ABOVE AVG TO 5 DEGREE BELOW AVG BY THE WEEKEND WITH TEMPS IN THE 70S. THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE EXTENDED WILL BE THE CONTINUED CHANCES OF CONVECTION WITH THE HOT AND HUMID SUMMER AIRMASS LOCKED OVERHEAD UNDER THE STRONG RIDGE. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF CAPE TO WORK WITH MOST OF THE WEEK WITH MODELS ADVERTISING ANYWHERE FROM 1000-2000 J/KG EACH AFTERNOON. A POTENTIAL DEAL BREAKER WILL BE THE CAP THAT WILL ALSO BE AROUND MUCH OF THE WEEK. AFTER THE RIDGE AXIS PASSES ON SUNDAY...SW/W FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT WARM AIR IN THE LOW LEVELS KEEPING THE CAP AROUND 700-850MB. MODELS SEE TO BE UNDERESTIMATING THE CAPS WHEN COMPARING THE 12Z DTX SOUNDING TO 12Z MODELS SOUNDINGS EARLIER BUT THAT COULD CHANGE THROUGH THE WEEK. AS THE PREVIOUS FORECASTER MENTIONED...THE MODELS PRODUCING DIURNAL CONVECTION EACH DAY ALSO SHOWS THE MODELS STRUGGLING WITH THE CAP. LAPSE RATES ARE NOT ALL BAD BUT AIR PARCELS HAVE TO REACH TO 700-600 MB BEFORE REALIZING THAT. SHEAR VALUES ARE ALSO VERY LOW STRUGGLING TO FIND 20 KNOTS TO WORK WITH THROUGH MID WEEK AS THE BEST FLOW STAYS TO OUR NORTH UNTIL LATE WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY. SO EVEN WITH THE LACK OF ANY REAL FORCING...THERE IS A WARM AIRMASS RICH WITH MOISTURE...DEWPOINTS NEAR 70...WITH WAVES OF MID LEVEL ENERGY OR MCS/S TRYING TO MOVE IN FROM UPSTREAM. THIS WILL WARRANT A LOW CHANCE MENTION FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK REALIZING THAT ANY SHOWERS THAT DO GO UP WILL STRUGGLE TO GET VERY STRONG AND WILL BE SCATTERED/ISOLATED IN NATURE. SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCES WILL COME WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AS STRONG TROUGH SKIRTING ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA WILL DROP A PAIR OF COLD FRONTS THROUGH THE REGION PROVIDING A BETTER FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR DEVELOPMENT. STILL A BIT EARLY TO GET TOO DETAILED ABOUT THIS SYSTEM BUT WILL BE SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON IN THE COMING DAYS AS THE SYSTEM BECOMES PROGRESSIVE AND STARTS TO SHOW ITS CARDS. THE SECOND COLD FRONT ON FRIDAY NIGHT WILL PRODUCE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN AIRMASS AS MUCH COOLER CANADIAN AIR DROPS INTO THE GREAT LAKES. MODELS CURRENTLY DROPPING 850MB TEMPS FROM AROUND 18C DOWN TO 6C FOR THE WEEKEND. && .MARINE... OUTSIDE OF GUSTS FROM THE OCCASIONAL SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM AS AN INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS BUILDS INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES AREA...WINDS WILL REMAIN RATHER CALM OVER MARINE AREAS THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. EVEN AN INCREASED SOUTHWEST FLOW FROM A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE MUTED AS THE IMMEDIATE LAYER OVER THE COLD WATERS OF THE GREAT LAKES REMAINS STABLE AND LIMITS WIND AND WAVE GROWTH. && .AVIATION...ISSUED 1255 PM EDT SAT JUN 22 2013 //DISCUSSION... OUTFLOW/FORCING IN ADVANCE OF DISSIPATING MCS TO THE WEST WILL ACT ON MODERATE/STRONG INSTABILITY TO FIRE WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FROM MID AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING WITH BEST FOCUS SEEMINGLY FROM KPTK SOUTH. WILL INCLUDE A 3 HR TEMPO WINDOW FROM 21Z-00Z GIVEN THE 50/50 CONFIDENCE OF THIS ACTIVITY ACTUALLY AFFECTING ONE OF THE TERMINALS. ANY ACTIVITY THAT DOES FORM WILL FADE FROM MID TO LATE EVENING AS DIURNAL HEATING IS LOST. WILL KEEP VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON. AT KDTW...THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WILL EXIST BETWEEN 21-00Z. THERE WILL BE A LOW CHANCE FOR STRONG WIND GUSTS FROM A FEW OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS. //DTW THRESHOLD THREATS... * LOW CONFIDENCE IN THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
