212333 afddtx area forecast discussion national weather service detroit/pontiac mi 733 pm edt sun jun 21 2015 aviation... bkn cu field over southeastern michigan has evolved into benign agitated cumulus with maturation of the boundary layer. there remains a low potential that an iso shower or thunderstorm can generate off of area lake breeze/convergence boundaries. the better potential is across the thumb and saginaw bay region with satellite trends suggesting the potential for the southern taf sites has seemingly ended. skc or sct cirrus will prevail tonight under weak high pressure. the attention is on a potential high impact severe thunderstorm risk for monday afternoon and evening. did not introduce any specific time window for tsra with this issuance as prefer some convection allowing model output. gusty south winds are expected tomorrow in advance of the low pressure system and attendant cold front. //dtw threshold probabilities... * low potential for ceiling at 5000 ft agl or less tonight. * low confidence in thunderstorm timing monday afternoon and evening. most recent estimate is between 22-02z. && prev discussion...issued 357 pm edt sun jun 21 2015 short term... afternoon and tonight showers as a result of shallow convection within the weak cold front are exiting the ohio border region with the front itself at press time. satellite imagery and surface observations indicate boundary layer mixing is accomplishing a notable trend toward borderline broken/scattered cloud coverage with some vertical development over the rest of se michigan. the exception being near clear sky in vicinity of the saginaw bay/lake huron stable layer interior thumb. expect an additional shower or thunderstorm just about anywhere within the area of more fully developed cumulus with the best chance now setting up roughly along and west/south of i-75/i-69 with emphasis on localized convergence in lake breeze regions from about port huron to the detroit river. the area south of m-59 will have the best combination of lingering low level moisture to produce surface based instability near 1500 j/kg during peak heating from late afternoon through early evening. that being said...the fragility of moisture quality is also indicated by 100 mb mlcape struggling to remain above 500 j/kg in hourly mesoanalysis. this will limit the strongest convection to a heavy downpour and perhaps a downburst wind gust near 40 mph until dissipation after sunset. weak surface high pressure will take control overnight and promote a clearing trend with light and variable wind. this will result in tranquil conditions with min temps settling into the mid 50s to around 60 by sunrise monday. long term...monday through next sunday model guidance continues to show stronger consensus with synoptic features that will be important in forecasting the potential severe weather event over the western and central great lakes monday and monday night. shearing upper wave seen on water vapor over alberta/saskatchewan will race east tonight and monday...phasing with another upper wave now off the coast of northern california...and probably several other convectively induced smaller waves. resulting mid-level height falls and a coupled jet structure (both jets seasonably strong at over 100 knots) over the western/northern great lakes will result in robust intensification of the surface cyclone as it lifts from wisconsin to ontario late monday into monday night. models have also been keying in on a 80 knot speed max at h500 punching into northern and central lower michigan during the evening. highest severe potential for southeast michigan will exist roughly in a 4pm to 2am window...tied in large part to the warm front as it lifts northward during the evening and then to the cold front as it drops southeast through the area overnight. convection developing upstream and racing into michigan may also play a significant role in timing. will have to monitor this tomorrow...and adjust this window if necessary. high shear/fairly strong instability/high moisture environment will bring the entire spectrum of severe weather threats...damaging winds in excess of 70 mph...large hail...tornadoes...and localized flash flooding. warm front and trailing strong surge of low/mid level theta-e could trigger an initial round of storms during the late afternoon and evening. airmass looks to achieve temperatures in the low to mid 80s with surface dewpoints in the upper 60s. this should allow upwards of a few thousand j/kg of cape to build...both from daytime heating and thermal advection into the area. this instability does look to linger through the overnight hours as we see a continuing feed of warm air and moisture. despite nocturnal timing...this will keep conditions favorable for severe weather overnight as either the cold front slices through the area...or an upstream mcs moves in from the west and is maintained by the environment over lower michigan. although anything coming in from the west would encounter the cooler waters of lake michigan...low level jet looks positioned in a way where it would maintain the strength of an mcs. models have been consistent with surging a strong 50-60 knot low-level jet up into the area during the evening. shear profiles continue to look very impressive...with 0-6 km bulk shear values as high as 60 knots...in addition to 0-1/0-3 km helicity values high enough to support a tornado threat. still some question with how timing of instability and moisture will coincide with best lift and shear...and this will be an actively evolving situation we will have to watch very closely tomorrow. marine... an isolated shower or thunderstorm will be possible during the evening near shoreline areas. after that...weak high pressure will maintain light and variable wind over all marine areas tonight. southerly winds will then increase monday as strong low pressure tracks toward the northern great lakes. this system will bring the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms from monday afternoon through monday night. while thunderstorms will be the primary concern...there will also be a period of stronger west to northwest winds along and behind a cold front monday night into tuesday. cold lake waters...as low as 39f in the latest buoy observations from northern lake huron...will support strong stability. this will limit sustained wind to about 25 knots with gusts around 30 knots possible. the wind will decrease by late tuesday and tuesday night as high pressure builds into the region. && dtx watches/warnings/advisories... mi...none. lake huron...none. lake st clair...none. michigan waters of lake erie...none. && $$ aviation.....cb short term...bt long

a weak cold front/trough will swing across the area this evening. the weak front/trough will stall south of the area tonight then lift back to the north as a warm front monday. a deepening low pressure system will cross the great lakes on monday with the associated cold front sliding southeast across the area late monday night or tuesday morning. high pressure will slide across the eastern great lakes wednesday. && near term /until 6 am monday morning/... update...decreased cloud cover through the evening otherwise no big changes. original...the weak cold front/trough was over north central ohio moving southeast. another very weak trough was sliding across southeast lower mi toward lake erie. i think any additional showers with the trailing trough will slide just north of toledo and will keep the i-75 corridor dry this evening. elsewhere will allow for showers/local thunder through mid evening or so until the trough(s) and instability are east of the area. with winds becoming light and dewpoints dropping we should see temps settle down to comfortable levels tonight. lows from the upper 50s in the cooler spots to mainly lower 60s elsewhere. && short term /6 am monday morning through wednesday night/... interesting pattern for monday into tuesday with a deepening surface low crossing the upper great lakes and increasing low and mid level jet developing across the great lakes and an unseasonably strong upper jet pushing in from the northern plains. this will likely result in clusters of thunderstorms...some severe...across the central great lakes. a few warm advection thunderstorms are possible across the forecast area monday as the humid air pushes back north. sometimes in a warming atmosphere things end up being capped but will have a low pop chance for a warm advection thunderstorm on monday for nw and north central ohio. not sure if the severe storms will move east southeast monday night toward erie pa or perhaps more likely dive south southeast into the most unstable air. this would put western lake erie and northwest ohio...especially the toledo area...in the threat for severe storms. the timing...after dark...becomes less favorable for a continuation of severe storms. will continue to mention the threat in the hazardous weather outlook for now and not emphasize it in the forecast just yet. highs in the lower and mid 80s monday with some upper 80s northwest and north central ohio. the front should slide southeast of the area tuesday morning. with the cold advection and decent jet dynamics aloft there will likely be morning showers/thunder especially across ne oh/nw pa. lowering dewpoints from northwest to southeast tuesday afternoon and evening. took the showers out of the forecast for wednesday. withhigh pressure moving just east of the area it seems as though the air mass will likely be stable enough that the warm advection showers will remain to the west and south of the area. highs near normal wednesday except cooler near lake erie. && long term /thursday through sunday/... the active weather pattern continues right through the extended forecast as we transition from zonal flow across the northern tier of the country to a trough developing over the great lakes region. long range models all bring the next wave of low pressure through the upper ohio valley on thursday. the gfs is a little farther north and slower than the ecmwf/gem. leaning towards the more southern solution at this time given how far south the front is located ahead of the system on wednesday night but generally left forecast in tact with likely pops most areas except chance in the ne. highs are on the cool side in the upper 70s given the expected clouds and showers. friday should be dry with high pressure over the central great lakes followed by another wave riding along the boundary on saturday. timing of shortwaves and associated low pressure systems is below normal towards the end of the week and adjustments to the forecast will be needed. temperatures will generally be near to slightly below normal. && aviation /18z sunday through friday/... a sct band of showers extending from tol-cle-yng at 18z will sink
