NWS Detroit, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 8, 12:11 PM EST, 2 hours 9 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI 111 PM EDT FRI JUL 8 2016 .AVIATION... Atmosphere has struggled to erode the low moisture and stratus through the morning but skies finally look to be scattering out with better afternoon mixing. Attention turns to convective potential for the afternoon and evening hours. An approaching cold front will be the focus for an expanding area of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Initiation time will be around 18-19Z for MBS and FNT, and closer to 21Z for the Detroit area terminals. With the coverage hires models are forecasting, decided to go tempo for all sites at this time. Activity will end around 00Z with drier air leading to a VFR bkn deck above 5kft. Question will be what kind of stratus field do we get in the early morning again with the enhance low level moisture field left by the storms? Went with SCT for now til we see where the bulk of the rain is laid out. Winds will pick up this afternoon out of the west-southwest, and will veer northwesterly behind the front by Saturday morning. For DTW...Cloud decks will continue to rise over the next hour or two before stabilizing in low VFR. Timing of the thunderstorms still looks best from about 21-00Z this evening, but cannot rule out a stray storm in advance of the line. Will handle any isolated lead cell with an amendment. Low confidence in MVFR/IFR stratus early Saturday morning. //DTW Threshold Probabilities... * Medium in cigs aob 5kft through this evening...low for early Saturday morning. * Medium for thunderstorms in DTW airspace this afternoon. && .PREV DISCUSSION... Issued at 1135 AM EDT Fri Jul 8 2016 UPDATE... A volatile severe weather scenario is setting up over lower Michigan for the afternoon into early evening. Convection is already off to a strong start in northern lower Michigan where favorable atmospheric conditions are just beginning to overlap. The storm environment will become even more favorable over central and southern lower Michigan during early afternoon driven primarily by the strong upper low for early July and the associated cold front that will move through the region. Late morning mesoanalysis indicates a ridge of MLCAPE exceeding 2000 J/KG extending northward from Illinois ahead of the cold front. The upper low will then provide a mostly unidirectional wind profile with near 50 knots of 0-6 km bulk shear, mid level lapse rates steepening toward 7 C/KM, and strong negative buoyancy below cloud base suggested by dry air in WV imagery. Model forecast soundings indicate freezing level also lowering into the 11-12 kft range which will be more favorable for large hail with increasingly large cape density in the mid levels. Expect buoyancy/shear interaction to produce discrete supercell mode initially where strongly rotating updrafts/deep mesocyclones will support both large hail possibly greater than golf ball size and tornado potential. Transition to linear mode later in the day will also support damaging wind exceeding 60 mph. At this point, storm coverage is expected to be more numerous in the Tri Cities to northern Thumb region down to about the I-69 corridor but with coverage still generously scattered farther south through metro Detroit. Important to note that all storms will have similar severe potential over all of SE Michigan regardless of coverage. PREV DISCUSSION... Issued at 402 AM EDT Fri Jul 8 2016 DISCUSSION... Deep layer subsidence will largely define conditions through the morning period, the increase in stability anchored by the residual mid level warm bubble left in the wake of the early morning MCV passage. This environment will favor a high degree of insolation early in the day, supported by recent satellite trends which suggest cirrus blowoff from ongoing convection upstream will largely pass to the south. This will center SE Michigan within a progressively destabilizing profile heading into the afternoon period, immediately downstream of an inbound cold front and strong PV anomaly timed to arrive at peak heating. Entrenched moist low level environment /dewpoints upper 60s-near 70/ combined with late day temperatures of upper 80s to around 90 will yield at least a moderately unstable thermodynamic profile. Modified sounding data with this profile lends MLCAPE in the vicinity of 2000 J/KG. The southern extension of the dynamic shortwave, carrying 70 knots at 500 mb, will zip across central lower MI by mid-late afternoon. Solid wing of CVA/convergence tied this feature and the attendant front likely the anchor point for convective initiation either overhead or immediately upstream during this time. Most recent CAMS guidance centers the greatest coverage across the Tri-Cities and Thumb region, this corridor more favorably positioned within a zone of greater forcing and better mid level lapse rates. Underlying environment certainly presents a severe convective risk. Bulk shear more than adequate to quickly organize any robust updrafts, with the overall wind magnitude and favorable hodograph suggesting the mode possibly as supercellular. Sizable amount of DCAPE />1500/ will translate into a strong wind gust threat. Residual mid level cyclonic flow trailing the exiting trough to start the weekend. Renewed convergence/ascent tied to additional weak shortwave energy working into diurnal heating will bring a chance for showers Saturday /mainly east/. Otherwise, noticeably cooler and less humid post-frontal conditions. 850 mb temperatures now centered in the lower teens, translating into highs in the 70s. Period of benign and generally seasonable conditions for Sunday- Monday under building high pressure. MARINE... Thunderstorms are possible over area waters this afternoon. Storms will carry a primary threat of wind gusts up to 60 mph. Relatively cool air rushing in behind the associated cold front will allow northwest gusts and significant wave heights to reach small craft advisory critera on Saturday, particularly along the exposed nearshore waters of the thumb. The remainder of the forecast period will be quiet with light to moderate winds. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. Lake Huron...NONE. Lake St Clair...NONE.
