Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 5:02 AM EST, 7 hours 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 602 AM EDT SUN JUN 14 2015 .AVIATION... CONDITIONS WILL MAINLY BE MVFR TODAY AS A SYSTEM PULLS A WARM FRONT THROUGH THE AREA THIS MORNING...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON. CIGS WILL TOUCH IFR AT TIMES AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT THIS MORNING BUT WILL LIFT TO MVFR IN THE WARM SECTOR. EXPECT SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS OCCURRING ALONG THE COLD FRONT THIS EVENING. TIMING EACH WAVE OF CONVECTION WILL BE TOUGH AT THIS POINT SO WILL COVER THE EARLY STORMS AND TEMPO IN A WINDOW FOR THE COLD FRONT LATER WITH HIGHER CONFIDENCE FOR THAT. CEILINGS WILL LOOK TO FALL AGAIN TONIGHT WITH SOME FOG SETTING UP. WEAKER NOCTURNAL INVERSION WILL LEAD TO LESS CONFIDENCE SO WILL JUST MENTION MVFR AT THIS TIME. FOR DTW...STRATUS HAS STRUGGLED TO SETTLE IN OVERNIGHT AS SE FLOW AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT HAS BROUGHT IN SOME DRIER AIR. STILL A CHANCE FOR A QUICK DROP RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT THIS MORNING AS IT LIFTS NORTH. SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES TODAY FOR CONVECTION...FIRST THIS MORNING WITH WAVE TRACKING ALONG THE WARM FRONT FOLLOWED BY THE COLD FRONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON. LINGERING CLOUD COVER INTO THE OVERNIGHT WILL HELP HOLD OFF FOG FOR A WHILE...BUT THERE REMAINS A CHANCE AFTER MIDNIGHT FOR SOME LOW STRATUS AND FOG AGAIN. //DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES... * HIGH IN CEILINGS BELOW 5000 FT THROUGH THIS MORNING...MEDIUM SUNDAY AFTERNOON. * LOW FOR THUNDERSTORMS IMPACTING THE AIRSPACE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...MEDIUM FOR THE EARLY EVENING. && .PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 328 AM EDT SUN JUN 14 2015 SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT ONE AGAIN WE WILL DEAL WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY...NOW LIFTING NORTH AS A WARM FRONT...DRAPED OVER THE SE CONUS RIDGE WITH A SERIES OF WAVES RIPPLING ALONG THE FRONT THROUGH LOWER MI. A VERY MOIST AIRMASS WITH DEEP LAYER SW FLOW PUMPING IN A CONTINUOUS STREAM OF TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE AREA HAS KEPT PWATS AT OR ABOVE 1.5 INCHES FOR A FEW DAYS NOW AND THE SFC DEWPOINTS STEADY IN THE MID 60S WILL GET A BOOST TO AROUND 70 FOR LOCATIONS SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT. THOUGH THE MOISTURE LADEN AIRMASS LEAVES MUCH TO BE DESIRED WITH RESPECT TO LAPSE RATES...BROAD LIFT WITH THE MID LEVEL WAVES...FRONTAL FORCING OVERHEAD...NOSE OF LL JET OVER SOUTHERN MI...WEAK MID LEVEL JET LET ALOFT...IMPRESSIVELY STRONG THETA E PLUME...AND MUCAPE AVERAGING 1000-1500 J/KG SHOULD LEAD TO WIDESPREAD SHOWER/TSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE DAY. SFC BASED CAPE WILL CREEP ACROSS THE STATE LINE INTO THE AREA WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR INCREASING FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE A TRAILING TROUGH/COLD FRONT WORKS THROUGH SE MI IN THE EARLY EVENING. MODELS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH STORM COVERAGE/INITIATION TIMES DUE TO THE AMPLE MOISTURE AND BROAD INSTABILITY PRESENT BUT THE FRONTS SHOULD PROVIDE SOME BETTER FOCUS AND TIMING FOR US TODAY. SPC HAS MOST OF THE AREA IN AT LEAST MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER WITH LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE M59 IN A SLIGHT RISK. AS IS USUALLY THE CASE...THERE ARE POTENTIAL PITFALLS THAT COULD LESSEN OUR CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER. THE BIGGEST WILL BE CONVECTION AND RESULTANT CLOUD COVER THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON PREVENTING ATMOSPHERIC RECOVERY FOR INITIATION LATER ALONG THE COLD FRONT. AND WITH A FAIRLY DECENT WAVE TRACKING INTO MID MI THIS AFTERNOON USHERING IN A GOOD SLUG OF THETA E AND CONVECTION...A RAIN COOLED AIRMASS WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE POTENTIAL NORTHWARD PUSH OF THE WARM FRONT. ALL IN ALL...LOOKS LIKES AREAS HIGHLIGHTED BY SLIGHT RISK DO STAND THE BEST CHANCE TO TRY TO DRY OUT FOR A FEW HOURS THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE FRONT TO THEIR NORTH ALLOWING INSTABILITY TO BUILD AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES IN THE LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING. UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR AROUND 30 KNOTS WILL ALLOW FOR SOME ORGANIZATION WITH STRONGER STORMS. MAIN THREATS WILL BE WIND AND LARGE HAIL...THOUGH STORMS RIDING THE WARM FRONT MAY DEVELOP ROTATION KEEPING THE POTENTIAL OF TORNADOES IN PLAY. AND WITH THE WEALTH OF MOISTURE IN THE COLUMN... HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED. STORMS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY BUT THE STRONGEST STORMS LOOK TO OCCUR IN A 17-00Z TIME FRAME SOUTH OF M59. OVERNIGHT...SOME CONVECTION MAY LINGER ACROSS LENAWEE AND MONROE COUNTIES FOR A FEW HOURS IF THE COLD FRONT LAGS BUT THE REST OF THE CWA SHOULD DRY OUT FAIRLY QUICKLY. WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT AS THE NOCTURNAL INVERSION AGAIN TRAPS AMPLE LL MOISTURE. LONG TERM... A GOOD CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST INTO MONDAY AS ANOTHER WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RIPPLES ALONG STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE AREA. CURRENT FORECAST POSITIONING OF THE FRONT SHOULD LEAD TO A BETTER CHANCE OF CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA...BUT CHANCES WILL STILL EXIST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA ALONG AND NORTH OF I 69. HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM WITH THE EFFECTIVE FRONTAL POSITION SHIFTING SOUTHWARD AS THIS OCCURS. THIS SHOULD MINIMIZE RAIN CHANCES...PARTICULARLY OVER THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA...FROM LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY. BY THAT TIME...ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY RIDING EASTWARD ALONG THE UPPER LEVEL BAND OF WESTERLIES WILL ALLOW OF A SLIGHT BUCKLING OF THE MAINLY ZONAL UPPER FLOW PATTERN. THIS SHOULD BRING THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY BACK NORTH TOWARDS THE AREA WEDNESDAY WITH RAIN CHANCES INCREASING ONCE AGAIN FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ACROSS THE AREA. BY THE MIDDLE/LATE PART OF NEXT WEEK...THE FORECAST WILL BECOME MORE COMPLICATED AS REMNANTS OF WHATEVER TROPICAL SYSTEM EVOLVES OVER THE WESTERN GULF/MEXICO ARE PULLED NORTH TOWARDS THE AREA AROUND THE WESTERN EDGE OF AN EXTENSIVE UPPER LEVEL HIGH OVER THE SOUTHEAST CONUS AND ATLANTIC OCEAN. MODELS SUGGEST THIS SYSTEM MAY LARGELY BYPASS THE AREA TO THE SOUTH AS THE FLOW REMAINS ZONAL AND THIS SYSTEM TURNS EASTWARD INTO THE OHIO VALLEY ALONG THE WEST TO EAST FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEAR THE MICHIGAN AND OHIO STATE LINE. IF THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM ENDS UP BEING SLOWER THAN FORECAST...THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL THAT THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TRACKING ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE CONUS MAY ALLOW FOR THIS MOISTURE TO BE PULLED FURTHER NORTH INTO THE AREA LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD. CONFIDENCE IN THIS WHOLE SCENARIO REMAINS QUITE LOW AT THIS TIME FRAME. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...THE WARM AND HUMID BEGINNING TO THE WEEK WILL EASE INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS THE AFOREMENTIONED HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM BRINGS DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION. THEREAFTER...A GENERAL INCREASE IN MOISTURE SHOULD BE ANTICIPATED INTO THE END OF THE WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES VERY NEAR AVERAGE FOR THE MIDDLE OF JUNE...WITH HIGHS OSCILLATING BETWEEN THE MID/UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S AND LOWS COMMONLY IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S. MARINE... A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES TODAY AND THEN FLUCTUATE BACK AND FORTH ACROSS SOUTHERN MICHIGAN AND THE NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS WILL MOSTLY LIKELY BRING ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEK WITH THE BETTER CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH OF PORT AUSTIN BY MONDAY. THIS INFLUX OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVER LAKE HURON MAY TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND OF DENSE FOG OVER THE COLD WATERS OF LAKE HURON. HOWEVER...WITH ABUNDANT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AT TIMES...THIS DEVELOP SHOULD REMAIN SOMEWHAT MUTED. WILL MAINTAIN THE MENTION OF FOG...BUT FORGO ANY HEADLINE AT THIS TIME. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. LAKE HURON...NONE. LAKE ST CLAIR...NONE.
