MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1583
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0751 AM CDT SUN AUG 02 2015

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF E-CNTRL MN...NRN/CNTRL WI...UPPER
PENINSULA OF MI...NRN LOWER MI

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 021251Z - 021515Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT

SUMMARY...MULTIPLE CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS EVOLVING WITHIN A CORRIDOR
FROM CNTRL MN INTO NRN LOWER MI ARE BEING MONITORED FOR ISOLATED SVR
POTENTIAL. WHILE WW ISSUANCE IS NOT IMMINENTLY EXPECTED...THERE IS
SOME CONCERN THAT A GREATER SVR RISK COULD DEVELOP THIS MORNING --
DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS -- AND THIS MAY WARRANT WW ISSUANCE ACROSS
A PART OF THE REGION.

DISCUSSION...SFC OBSERVATIONS INDICATE A QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY
EXTENDING FROM LOW PRESSURE ANALYZED OVER W-CNTRL MN TO LOW PRESSURE
N OF EAU...WITH THE SAME BOUNDARY ARCING EWD/SEWD INTO WRN LOWER MI.
CLUSTERS OF CONVECTION BEING FED BY UNSTABLE AIR ABOVE THE
NOCTURNALLY COOLED PBL ARE ONGOING N OF THE BOUNDARY IN A WAA
REGIME. RELATED ISENTROPIC ASCENT IS BEING ENHANCED IN CONJUNCTION
WITH A MID-LEVEL SPEED MAX CROSSING THE REGION AND IN ADVANCE OF A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH PROGRESSING ESE FROM THE SRN CANADIAN PRAIRIE
PROVINCES PER MOISTURE-CHANNEL IMAGERY.

THE 12Z RAOBS AT MPX AND ABR SAMPLED AN EML PLUME WITH H7-H5 LAPSE
RATES AROUND 8 C/KM...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BE ADVECTED OVER THE
UPPER MIDWEST AND UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION. MEANWHILE...RELATIVELY
RICHER PBL MOISTURE S OF THE SFC BOUNDARY -- ASSOCIATED WITH
LOWER/MIDDLE 60S SFC DEWPOINTS -- WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD NEWD TO
THE E OF THE WI SFC CYCLONE. THIS WILL ESTABLISH AN INCREASE IN
SFC-BASED BUOYANCY ACROSS PARTS OF THE REGION...ESPECIALLY AS AREAS
OF INSOLATION ENCOURAGE SFC HEATING. AS SUCH...ONGOING CONVECTION
MAY CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY. ADDITIONAL TSTM
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE GIVEN THE ALREADY-PRESENT FORCING FOR
ASCENT MARKED BY 2-HOURLY SFC PRESSURE FALLS AROUND 1.5-2 MB ACROSS
THE REGION. GIVEN 40-50 KT OF DEEP SHEAR SAMPLED BY AREA VWPS AND
12Z RAOBS...UPSCALE CONVECTIVE GROWTH WILL BE POSSIBLE...WITH
25-40-KT WLYS AROUND H85 FACILITATING FAST-MOVING COLD POOLS WITH
SVR-WIND POTENTIAL. SVR-WIND POTENTIAL ASIDE...THE STEEP LAPSE
RATES/MODERATE SHEAR WILL SUPPORT HAIL POTENTIAL...ESPECIALLY WITH
ANY MORE DISCRETE UPDRAFTS.

ULTIMATELY...CONFIDENCE IN UPSCALE CONVECTIVE GROWTH AND A
GREATER-COVERAGE SVR RISK -- IN THE SHORT-TERM -- IS LIMITED...AS
STRONGER DCVA IS STILL DISPLACED UPSTREAM AT PRESENT.
REGARDLESS...AT LEAST ISOLATED SVR RISK WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS. THE ONGOING INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE SUGGESTS
SOME POSSIBILITY IN WW ISSUANCE THIS MORNING. THIS WOULD ESPECIALLY
BE THE CASE IF A MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE CLUSTER/BOWING SEGMENT
WERE TO BECOME EVIDENT AND JUXTAPOSED WITH HIGHER THETA-E AIR IN
CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE SFC BOUNDARY.

looks like a spread the wealth type squall line event

 

It looking to be one of the better setup this season (with the lack of morning convection to **** things up and the fairly large area of strong daytime heating), as far as wdiespread severe weather potential.

Strong worded severe watch up for parts of central Ontario, including Manitoulin Island and Bruce/Grey counties. 

 

THUNDERSTORM WATCH CONTINUED FOR:

(For the next 4 hours, any Warnings, Watches, Advisories or Statements will be posted as comments to this post)

....

A significant severe weather situation is possible beginning this afternoon and extending into this evening. A line of severe thunderstorms is currently crossing Northern Lower Michigan towards Lake Huron. Conditions will become increasingly favourable for the development of dangerous thunderstorms associated with this line. They will be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain. Although this initial line may weaken somewhat a little later this afternoon, new strong thunderstorm development is highly likely in its wake. This watch will likely be extended southwards and eastwards throughout the afternoon as this dynamic thunderstorm situation develops.

Should be a pretty fun day for many of us.  Been awhile since we've seen a threat over this large of an area.  Nice to see morning convection not being a big issue for once.  

 

Back this way we'll be on the western end of the squall line.  Probably not as much of a wind threat, but hoping for a good thump nonetheless.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1584
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1149 AM CDT SUN AUG 02 2015

AREAS AFFECTED...NRN LOWER MI

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 461...

VALID 021649Z - 021745Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 461
CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...THE POTENTIAL IS INCREASING ACROSS NRN LOWER MI FOR SEVERE
WIND GUSTS 55-70 MPH WHICH WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN MULTIPLE SWATHS
OF WIND DAMAGE.

DISCUSSION...SUBJECTIVE SURFACE MESOANALYSIS PLACES AN EFFECTIVE
WARM FRONT/OUTFLOW DRAPED FROM THE TRAILING PORTION OF STRONG STORMS
OVER LAKE HURON WESTWARD INTO NRN LOWER MI. THE AIRMASS INVOF THE
BOUNDARY AND TO THE S HAS DESTABILIZED MARKEDLY THE PAST FEW HOURS
WITH AN INFLUX OF MID-UPPER 60S DEWPOINTS AND HEATING RESULTING IN
UPPER 70S TEMPS. THE STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL WLY FLOW /50 KT AT 2-3
KM AGL/ AT KAPX PRIOR TO QLCS PASSAGE WILL LEND SUPPORT FOR MOMENTUM
TRANSPORT TO THE SURFACE AS LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES HAVE STEEPENED
SUFFICIENTLY. UPSCALE GROWTH INTO BOWING SEGMENTS DURING THE PAST
30-60 MINUTES IS YIELDING GREATER POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STRAIGHT-LINE
WIND DAMAGE AND SWATHS OF 55-70 MPH WIND GUSTS APPEAR PROBABLE PRIOR
TO THE QLCS MOVING OFF THE LAKE HURON COAST.

Question for me in northern IL and northwest IN as it was yesterday is timing and will the likely squall line weaken with southward extent given possible loss of destabilization with time this evening. The 15z HRRR seems to show some weakening over northern IL while the 12z 4km NAM maintains intensity well into central IL and IN. Wonder if the strong southwest low level advection ahead of the squall line will slow the stabilization process.

Starting to doubt whether any robust convection can develop any farther west than the 39/90/94 corridor in WI/IL....Really any meaningful height falls/mid-level cooling is confined to eastern WI into MI. I guess I'll see when I wake up this evening.

That strong southwest flow is keeping the dewpoints relatively in check across the area at this time. NAM seems particularly overdone with dews.
