Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI 1151 AM EDT Wed Jun 1 2022 .UPDATE... Frontal boundary intersecting the CWA extends southwest to northeast roughly along a line from Jackson to Sandusky as of 15z. This boundary will be the main focus for convection now through the afternoon hours. Initial round of convection already impacting southwestern portions of the CWA remains elevated, with frequent lightning and heavy rain being the primary threats. These storms may become surface-based as they encounter increasing diurnal instability, increasing the chance for gusty winds to mix to the surface as well. Hi-res guidance has varied substantially in the evolution of this complex, which has ramifications for subsequent convection this afternoon, although there is a consistent signal in 12z guidance for additional convective development into the afternoon hours. An isolated threat for severe storms does exist as outlined by the SPC Day 1 Marginal Risk, primarily south of I-69, as isolated organized storms are possible within 0-6 km bulk shear of 30-35 knots. Steep mid-level lapse rates, skinny CAPE profiles, and unidirectional shear in place support isolated hail up to an inch and damaging wind gusts to 60 mph as the main threats. Thunderstorm potential decreases as the front pushes southeast through the CWA, with the main window for thunderstorm potential being now through 3 PM this afternoon. && .PREV DISCUSSION... Issued at 650 AM EDT Wed Jun 1 2022 AVIATION... Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms have been impacting the MBS area all night. This convection, which will likely affect FNT for the next couple hours, will gradually weaken through the morning hours. Increasing daytime instability across metro Detroit along and in advance of a weak sfc front combined with mid level short wave energy will support a chance for renewed convective development, mainly between 15Z and 19Z. This instability axis and thus better convective potential will mainly affect the Detroit terminals. A Lake Huron modified cold front will then push inland this evening, reaching the terminals between 00 and 02Z, and resulting in an abrupt wind shift to the northeast. For DTW...A few of the more recent hi res model solutions bring a round of convection across metro Detroit early this afternoon, immediately in advance of a short wave lifting out of the convection now over Illinois. This is enough to add a little more confidence to the TSRA potential at metro early this afternoon. DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES... * Moderate in thunderstorms early this afternoon. * Low in ceilings below 5000 feet today. Moderate Thursday morning. PREV DISCUSSION... Issued at 315 AM EDT Wed Jun 1 2022 DISCUSSION... First round of overnight convection fired up along a weak area of h925 frontogenesis, with minimal surface impacts felt (outside of heavy downpours) given the near surface stable layer. The integrity of this line of scattered showers and thunderstorms has weakened through the early morning hours given the waning instability and loss of the better h925 fgen. Pre-frontal & weakening vort lobe with a linear surge of enhanced theta-e between h925-h850 will provide a renewed chance of isolated to widely scattered showers and elevated thunderstorms across the Tri-Cities and Thumb, south into the Flint region through the mid-morning hours. This region of better moisture convergence will continue to draw southeast ahead of a surface cold front. The axis of better PoPs will continue to move south towards the state line through the early afternoon before ending after 18Z. The area of interest for stronger thunderstorms will be located along or south of I-94 as diurnal heating increases surface based instability back to or slightly above 1000 J/kg by the late morning. The NAM/HRRR display the bulk of convection holding south of the state line between 15-18Z, with portions of convection clipping or developing over portions of southern MI. 1-6 km bulk shear with a unidirectional component of winds in this layer suggests some decent convective organization will be possible under this scenario. Low- level lapse rates approaching 7 C/km with some quickly building DCAPES & EL nearing 200 mb would put gusts up to 60 mph & hail to an inch into play with stronger storm development. Thunderstorm potential ends by the late afternoon as dry air filters in behind the cold front. A notable feature for all will be relief from the above normal temperatures, which will be especially notable for residents in the Thumb and around the Saginaw Bay/Lake Huron shoreline, as a strong lake breeze quickly drops temperatures from the mid-70s in the late morning/early afternoFrontal boundary intersecting the CWA extends southwest to northeast roughly along a line from Jackson to Sandusky as of 15z.

Other locations removed from the lake will still sense relief given temperature highs that are 10-15 degrees cooler relative to yesterday. An area of weak low pressure will ride along a baroclinic zone on Thursday morning and will bring some renewed chances for precipitation focused along or south of I-69. There will be a decent amount of dry air to overcome through both the low and mid levels, so will maintain only around a 30% chance of PoPs factoring in precipitation may have trouble reaching the surface. Only rain is expected with any observed PoPs as there is no instability to work with. C High pressure will build Thursday into the end of the week with zonal flow becoming established in the mid- levels. This will bring a period of dry weather with little room for day-to-day temperature fluctuations. Highs in the low to mid 70s are expected with lows in the low to mid 50s through the end of the week. Return flow from the departing high early next week will pull better moisture into Michigan, offering some new chances for precipitation. MARINE... Slow moving cold front continues to drop through the central Great Lakes this morning generating scattered showers and storms. Rain chances linger over the southern half of the region through the day as the front gradually advances into Ohio. There is a very low end chance that any developing storms over Lake St. Clair and western Lake Erie may become severe, with winds in excess of 34 knots. This will be most likely through the late morning and early afternoon hours today. Chance for additional showers Thursday over the southern Great Lakes as a low tracks through the Ohio valley, otherwise drier weather returns to end the week as weak high pressure overspreads the region Friday into the first half of the weekend. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
