  1. Update from Grand Rapids.....

     

    Area Forecast Discussion
    National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI
    
    UPDATE...
    Issued at 1225 PM EDT Wed Jul 28 2021
    
    Latest 12Z guidance is continuing the farther north trend of the
    most severe convection later tonight, even hinting at the
    possibility of a derecho impacting much or parts of wrn Lwr MI.
    Since this is a potentially high impact severe weather event
    while many folks will be sleeping, communication/messaging the
    possibility of high/destructive winds this afternoon/evening will
    be critical.
    
    Timing looks to be similar, with potential for a large bow echo
    sweeping across Lk MI toward or after midnight. Also some
    potential for the warm advection wing ahead of the main line
    becoming active a couple hours beforehand. If that does occur, we
    could have some tornado potential with discrete cells since the
    warm front will be draped over the area. HRRR has 0-1km SRH of
    150-200 m2/s2 with LCLs below 1km. A QLCS-type tornado threat may
    also develop/exist within the main line.
    
    Also of note, in terms of the straight line wind potential, HRRR
    shows 70 kts at 3 km, of potential descending rear inflow into
    the back of that line. So some isolated pockets of destructive
    80+ mph winds seem plausible later tonight.
    
    As far as heavy rainfall/flooding concerns, some intense rainfall
    rates are likely as the strong/svr convection is coming through
    tonight, although the progressive nature of the MCS may limit
    the overall flooding risk. That said, some urban flooding -
    possibly worthy of areal flood advisories/warnings - may also be
    needed.
  2. Quite the severe weather event for southeastern Michigan yesterday. The environment became quite unstable with high cape/strong shear and no interruption from earlier storms. As a result, storms exploded and became tornadic as they moved southeast towards Detroit. Very fun day to watch unfold.

  3. Hello I'm just a random person interested in the weather/severe weather

    The Nam is going bonkers this Saturday with strong instability and decent shear over Michigan while

    the Gfs/Euro is more subdued. Will have to wait for the models to come to agreement in the coming days right now SPC only has a marginal for day 3

    Edited: The nam could also just be an outlier
