Lake St Clair Forecast
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
354 AM EDT SUN SEP 19 2021
Waves are the significant wave height - the average of the highest
1/3 of the wave spectrum. Occasional wave height is the average of
the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.
.SYNOPSIS...High pressure of 30.30 inches has become centered over
the northern Great Lakes. This high will move east to Quebec and
the eastern Great Lakes on Sunday. A slow moving cold front will
move into the western Great Lakes on Monday, passing across Lake
Huron on Tuesday. This front will bring the next chance for
showers and thunderstorms.

AVIATION.
A dry airmass and high pressure overhead keeps skies clear through this evening. High cirrus clouds begin to stream into the area from the south late this evening/overnight ahead of the next approaching low. Center of high pressure drifts to our east this morning supporting light 10kt or less southeast winds for the rest of the day.

DISCUSSION .
Sunday through approximately noon Monday.
Last vestiges of surface high pressure will hold on across Lake Huron and southeast Michigan with strong 588 dam H5 ridge axis extending back from Bermuda High extension northwestward into Lower Michigan. Models do show a focused anticyclonic vorticity advection pivot across far Southeast Michigan this afternoon. The subsidence signal fits with forecast soundings showing general high static stability from 3.5 to 10.5 kft agl. Nil sky fraction anticipated. Insolation should allow temperatures to climb to near 80, low 80s south of Detroit.
Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning.
Strong potential vorticity trough will advance out of the northern Rockies and into the Dakotas by Monday afternoon. Amplification of the trough is forecasted to result in large/widespread 1000-500 mb height falls across much of the Upper Midwest already Sunday night. The height falls are shown to result in an increasing southwest gradient flow and low level jet response. The main moisture transport vector is directed upon Wisconsin and the southern basin of Lake Michigan initially before edging eastward toward the cwa by Monday afternoon. Did lower PoPs Monday morning with chance PoPs in the afternoon. Initial shortwave energy that gets kicked northward will undoubtedly become sheared out. Some big negatives for widespread precipitation Monday night, namely no upper level jet forcing and background ridging/anticyclonic flow. Low level moisture advection between 2.5 and 5.0 kft will quickly lead to humid weather and unstable conditions Monday afternoon. The chance exists for some thunderstorm initiation during the late afternoon. A no shear environment will limit the potential for storm organization for strong/severe potential. A loss of diurnal mixing under a unidirectional flow should result in relatively quiet conditions Monday night.
Tuesday afternoon through noon Wednesday.
A strong upper level jet core will then track directly into Lower Michigan for Tuesday afternoon. Strong convergence along the front with some (+) increase in right entrance region dynamics of emerging jet streak will bring widespread shower and thunderstorm chances to southeast Michigan. Very efficient synoptic scale rain producer given the favorable frontogenesis. Deep thetae/saturation through 20 kft agl in the forecast soundings and PWATS approaching 2.0 inches signals a heavy rainfall threat for Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night mainly for far eastern sections of the forecast area. Low level cold advection is forecasted to be very strong post cold front which will lead to increasing stability from the surface through 5.0 kft agl.
Wednesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon.
The outright question for this time period in the middle of the week is what will happen to the upper level jet axis in place over the central Great Lakes. A number of solutions show the initial jet streak will lift off into Quebec causing the southern extension of the polar trough to close off and become pseudo stationary directly over Indiana Wednesday night and Thursday. Will not be getting specific here because the specifics are what is really important with these features. The uncertainty centers around whether or not this closed low will become barotropic or if it can remain somewhat baroclinic. The ECMWF has been consistent in a more baroclinic solution which brings a strong deformation axis and occlusion to the state Thursday. This particular solution would then lengthen the chances for heavy rain potential. The notable aspect here is that highs will struggle to reach the low 60s both Wednesday and Thursday.
Thursday night through Saturday night.
Current forecast data suggests an extended period of deep cyclonic flow which will bring potential for showers and below normal temperatures for the end of the week.
MARINE .
High pressure will expand from the eastern Great Lakes to New England Sunday into Monday. This will result in a steady veering of the light easterly winds this morning toward the south-southeast tonight. A slow moving cold front will advance into the western Great Lakes Monday night. An increase in the southeast gradient ahead of this front will push wind speeds into the 15 to 20 knot range across much of Lake Huron. The influx of warm air across the lakes will limit over lake mixing depths and will therefore keep wind gusts in check. The cold front is forecast to move across Lake Huron Tuesday and into the eastern Great Lakes Tues night, bringing showers and thunderstorms and the potential for some gusty post frontal northerly winds.
