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...A broad Canadian high pressure system will become
centered over the Northern Great Lakes today while strengthening
to 30.30 inches. The expansive high will then move across eastern

Some degree of diurnal cloudiness will occur again within similar flow pattern and will keep few-sct for coverage attm. Dtw threshold probabilities * none. Prev discussion Issued at 338 pm edt Fri aug 23 2019 discussion... the center of the broad surface high moving across lake superior and southern ontario will continue to influence the region today while an upper trough axis swings into the eastern great lakes by tonight. A convergence zone that set up earlier in the day brought isolated to scattered showers across the thumb. These were supported by instability over the lakes as north to northwesterly flow brought reinforced cooler air over the warmer waters. Slight chance for scattered shower activity has mostly come to an end off lake huron. Isolated shower development will remain possible for the next hour or so across the thumb to the i-69 corridor as the hybrid lake breeze releases inland. The loss of daytime heating will allow any shower potential to diminish by the evening. The remainder of southeast michigan will remain dry with a general cloud clearing trend into tonight as the upper trough axis moves east. Mostly clear skies will bring another cool night with overnight low temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s for much of southeast michigan. Upper ridging and broad surface high will transverse the great lakes region leading to ideal late summer weather conditions through the weekend. High temperatures to start the weekend will be slightly below normal as thermal trough is maintained under cooler north and easterly flow. Temperatures at 850 mb will be in the 6-8 degree c range tomorrow resulting in highs in the low to mid 70s. Humidity will also be low with dewpoints in the 50s. The departing high pressure on Sunday will bring some subtle airmass modification with south to southeasterly flow pushing some warmer temperatures into lower michigan. High temperatures on Sunday rebound to the mid upper 70s to around 80 degrees. Strengthening LLJ and warm front amplification ahead of an approaching upper-level trough will increase heat and especially humidity across SE mi Monday into Tuesday as dew points rise from the 50s into the low to mid 60s (Monday) and upper-60s to lower-70s |
(Tuesday). Will only see a slight uptick in temperatures as they will be modulated by extensive cloud cover and rain showers thunderstorms. Best moisture transport will set up across the great lakes and will allow pw values of 1.50 - 1.75 inches to build in for both Monday and Tuesday. Some models advertising pw up to 2.00 inches, but will stay conservative as it lines up more with ensemble means. On and off showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop along the warm front Monday with additional help from embedded shortwaves. Last, breezy conditions will be possible Monday as tightening pressure gradient sets up across SE mi. Stacked low pressure system drifting eastward from manitoba into ontario will drag a cold front across michigan late in the day on Tuesday (need additional model runs to pinpoint timing) which will bring the last of the rain and thunderstorms associated with the humid airmass, before cooler and dry canadian air filters in behind the front. Post-frontal airmass will bring relief from the humidity and temperatures as highs in the 70s hold, with gusty conditions possible as CAA increases mechanical mixing. Long range models are advertising a second cold front projected to move across michigan sometime between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, which would be the next chance to see precipitation late next week. Marine... stable high pressure will broaden further this weekend over the great lakes bringing about cooler and drier air. Winds are expected to veer a bit further toward the NE to around 15 knots before backing northerly and dropping below 10 knots overnight. Primary marine concern over the next few hours is the dwindling threat for waterspouts given the warm surface temperatures of lake huron which have aided in the generation of enhanced instability. Lake effect showers capable of producing waterspouts have greatly diminished in coverage and will trend toward clearer conditions by 21z for southern lake huron. NE winds will continue until Sunday after which a SE flow pattern sets up through Monday, coinciding with an uptick in speeds in the 15-20 knot range Monday afternoon. Dry conditions will prevail through the same period as high pressure remains in control. Dtx watches warnings advisories Mi... None. Lake huron... None. Lake st clair... None.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
