Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 6:17 AM EST, 7 hours 21 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 717 AM EDT THU JUN 27 2013 .AVIATION... //DISCUSSION... MVFR CONDITIONS...WITH DIPS INTO THE LIFR CATEGORY...WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING AS ISOLATED SHOWERS CONTINUE WITH ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONTRIBUTING TO FOG PRODUCTION OVER THE TAF SITES. A LINGERING SURFACE TROUGH AND MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR A NEW ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS DURING PEAK SURFACE HEATING BY MID AFTERNOON THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THIS EVENING. OVERNIGHT ANOTHER MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND JET DYNAMICS WILL LEAD TO PERIODS OF SHOWER ACTIVITY. ALTHOUGH THUNDERSTORMS ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT CONFIDENCE IS LOW ENOUGH TO LEAVE OUT AND GO WITH A PREVAILING SHOWER GROUP JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. FOR DTW... DEVELOPMENT OF MVFR FOG AND STRATUS CONTINUES AT THE TAF SITE...WITH IFR STRATUS AND LIFR FOG POSSIBLE BEFORE MIXING OUT BY 14Z. ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS ARE POSSIBLE BY MID AFTERNOON THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE EVENING. //DTW THRESHOLD THREATS... * MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL DURING THIS AFTERNOON. * HIGH CONFIDENCE ON CEILINGS BELOW 5000 FEET THIS MORNING...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. && .PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 404 AM EDT THU JUN 27 2013 SHORT TERM...THIS MORNING THROUGH TONIGHT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS CONTINUE OVER SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN EARLY THIS MORNING AS A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE...CLEARLY EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY OVER NORTHWEST OHIO...CONTINUES TRACKING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES. DESPITE THE BOOST FROM DYNAMICS...THUNDER HAS BEEN HARD TO COME BY WITH MUCAPE VALUES AROUND 500 J/KG AND UNIMPRESSIVE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF 5 C/KM. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE TO DIMINISH WITH SUNRISE AS THE LOW TRACKS OFF TO THE EAST. DAYTIME HEATING WILL ONCE AGAIN INCREASE PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS MUCAPE VALUES INCREASE TO 1000 TO 1500 J/KG WITH ASSISTANCE FROM UPSTREAM SHORTWAVES COMING IN FROM THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES AND UPPER JET DYNAMICS WITH THE AREA IN THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A 100 KNOT JET OVER THE RED RIVER VALLEY. SEVERE POTENTIAL TODAY WILL BE LIMITED BY MEAGER 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND VERY LITTLE CAP IN PLACE...MEANING CONVECTION COULD FIRE EARLY...IN THE LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON...LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY THAT CAN BUILD UP. IN ADDITION THE ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER WILL LIMIT INCOMING SOLAR RADIATION...TRANSLATING TO LOWER DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE LOWER 80S AND LOWER OVERALL MUCAPE VALUES. OUTSIDE OF A STRAY THUNDERSTORM PRODUCING 60 MPH WINDS OR LARGE HAIL...THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TODAY IS NOT VERY HIGH. ANOTHER VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE TRACKING THROUGH THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES OVERNIGHT AND CONTINUED UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FROM A SLOWLY MOVING JET STREAM WILL MEAN CONTINUED CHANCES FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. DESPITE ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER...OVERNIGHT MINS WILL BE A BIT LOWER THAN PREVIOUS NIGHTS GIVEN SUBTLE COLD AIR ADVECTION AS 850 MB TEMPERATURES FALL ABOUT 4 DEGREES FROM +16 TO +12...TRANSLATING TO MINS IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S. LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL AMPLIFY SIGNIFICANTLY FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. MODELS SHOW HEIGHTS CLOSING OFF WITH THE ANOMALY STRETCHING OR ELONGATING OVER THE GREAT LAKES MOVING VERY LITTLE THROUGHOUT THIS TIME PERIOD. THE ISSUE WITH THIS SLUGGISH EVOLUTION IS THE MIDLEVEL MOISTURE AXIS WILL BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY...WHICH MAY PROVE TO BE PESKY AND UNFORTUNATE. THE MAIN SURFACE TROUGH AXIS AND ASSOCIATED CONVERGENCE IS SHOWN TO PIVOT INTO AND THROUGH THE CWA ON FRIDAY. THIS REQUIRES THE THE HIGHEST POPS...CATEGORICAL TO LIKELY. ATTM...THERE APPEARS TO BE NO FAVORABLE TIMEFRAME...RATHER IT IS LOOKING LIKE AN ALL DAY - OCCASIONAL RAIN SHOWER AFFAIR. SATURDAY...A SLUG OF MOISTURE AND ENHANCED CYCLONIC VORTICITY IS EXPECTED TO BREAK OFF THE QUEBEC MIDLEVEL LOW...ADVECTING INTO SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN FROM THE NORTH AND EAST. INCREASED POPS INCREMENTALLY FOR SATURDAY WITH SOME LIKELY VALUES ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN CWA. THE ECMWF MODEL HAS BACKED OFF ON THE STRONG ANTICYCLONE SOLUTION...NOW ADVERTISING THE SURFACE HIGH TO ROLL ACROSS CANADA. THIS KEEPS ANY STRONG SURFACE RIDGING FROM TAKING HOLD OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS LARGELY HAPPENS AS THE CLOSED MIDLEVEL LOW OVER MO/IL MAINTAINS A GREATER CONTINUITY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE REAL QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT THE MAIN MOISTURE AXIS WILL STALL OUT OVER PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN CWA. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THIS FAR OUT. FOR THESE SUMMER QUASI-BAROTROPIC SETUPS ONCE THE DRIER AIR IS ABLE TO GET A FOOTHOLD EITHER THROUGH ADVECTION OR ENTRAINMENT...IT TURNS INTO AN ALL OR NOTHING FORECAST THAT WILL THEN RELY ON SMALLER EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES TO FIRE OFF PRECIPITATION. FOR NOW...WILL BE THE OPTIMIST AND TAKE THE DRIER APPROACH SUNDAY-TUESDAY. MARINE... WARM AND HUMID AIR WILL CONTINUE TO RESIDE OVER THE GREAT LAKES TODAY AND TONIGHT...PROVIDING MOSTLY STABLE CONDITIONS. THIS WILL KEEP WINDS AND WAVES ON THE LOW SIDE OUTSIDE OF ANY THUNDERSTORM THAT MAY DEVELOP. THE FORECAST CONTINUES TO CARRY A LOW CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH FRIDAY....BUT WINDS WILL ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT AND VARIABLE. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP AND MOVE OVER THE WATERS...COULD PRODUCE GUSTS OVER 35 KNOTS. A COOLER AIRMASS WILL SETTLE IN OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES DURING THE WEEKEND...HOWEVER WINDS AND WAVES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAIRLY LOW. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE.
