Interesting the Day 3 including a large hatched area over the 15% probabilities

DAY 3 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0230 AM CDT SUN MAY 29 2011

VALID 311200Z - 011200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER A PORTION OF THE GREAT

LAKES REGION...

...SYNOPSIS...

DEAMPLIFICATION ALONG NRN PERIPHERY OF UPPER RIDGE WILL OCCUR AS THE

STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH EJECTS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND SRN

CANADA TUESDAY. THE COLD FRONT WILL ADVANCE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES

WHILE TRAILING PORTION STALLS ACROSS THE MID MS VALLEY AND SRN

PLAINS. A WARM FRONT WILL SHIFT SLOWLY NEWD THROUGH THE NERN STATES

AND NEW ENGLAND.

...GREAT LAKES AREA...

MOIST WARM SECTOR WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S WILL HAVE ADVECTED

INTO THE GREAT LAKES WARM SECTOR WHERE STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES

WILL EXIST. AS DIABATIC WARMING COMMENCES...MODERATE MLCAPE WILL

LIKELY DEVELOP. IT APPEARS REMNANT EML PLUME COULD POTENTIALLY

RESULT IN AT LEAST A MODERATELY STRONG CAP...BUT DEEPER FORCING WITH

EJECTING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL OCCUR ALONG GREAT LAKES PORTION OF

FRONT AS IT ADVANCES EWD THROUGH WI...UPPER MI AND NRN LOWER MI.

THIS FORCING MAY BE SUFFICIENT FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG COLD

FRONT DURING THE DAY. STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR WILL SUPPORT

ORGANIZED STRUCTURES INCLUDING SUPERCELLS AND BOWING SEGMENTS WITH A

THREAT FOR VERY LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND AND POSSIBLY ISOLATED

TORNADOES.

...MID MS VALLEY THROUGH SRN PLAINS...

AN AXIS OF MODERATE INSTABILITY WILL EXIST ALONG SWD EXTENT OF THE

FRONT THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY AND SRN PLAINS. HOWEVER...SOUTH OF

THE EJECTING SHORTWAVE TROUGH...VERTICAL SHEAR AND FORCING WILL BE

MUCH WEAKER AND THERE IS ALSO THE LIKELIHOOD OF A STRONGER CAP. A

FEW MULTICELL STORMS COULD DEVELOP ALONG THE COLD FRONT DURING THE

AFTERNOON WITH A THREAT FOR HAIL AND LOCALLY STRONG WIND GUSTS. WEAK

VERTICAL SHEAR AND STORM COVERAGE CONCERNS SUGGEST MORE THAN 5%

SEVERE PROBABILITIES ARE NOT WARRANTED AT THIS TIME.

...NERN STATES...

THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE SOUTH OF WARM FRONT

OVER A PORTION OF THE NERN STATES AND SRN NEW ENGLAND DURING THE

DAY. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT REMNANT EML WILL HAVE ADVECTED

THROUGH WARM SECTOR RESULTING IN A CAP. HOWEVER...A FEW STORMS MIGHT

STILL DEVELOP WITHIN THE WEAK WARM ADVECTION REGIME IN VICINITY OF

THE FRONT WITH A THREAT FOR HAIL AND LOCALLY STRONG WIND GUSTS.

GIVEN POTENTIALLY LIMITED STORM COVERAGE WILL INTRODUCE ONLY 5%

PROBABILITIES AT THIS TIME BUT CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR A POSSIBLE

SLIGHT RISK IN LATER OUTLOOKS.

Stuff is like pea soup. Unreal for late May.

being on the lake, we've had this almost every other day.

back to the organizing mcs, i'm skeptical if the llj and advancing instability will be enough to maintain it into northern Illinois, i think the damaging wind threat will be confined along and south of I80. I do like watching them mature though. Looks like a min waa wing east of des moines with what will be the comma more or less over des moines.

SPC has greatly expanded the slight risk area. There's now a 30% wind area and a 5% tornado area stretching through Northern Illinois/Ohio/Indiana and Southern Michigan.

We are looking to have some decent daytime heating before it arrives too.

I'm pretty excited for this one. Only thing I see going wrong is that I may get missed to the south, but really, that's just splitting hairs. Someone is going to get a big damaging wind event today.

Yep. Incredible dense fog here right now, not the classic pre-derecho weather i'm used to.

Yeah we have the haze and fog here too, although not nearly as dense as you guys. To me this is more of pre tornado weather than pre derecho weather, just going by past instances.

complex is absolutely exploding on WV/IR and starting to pop a couple warnings. i think we see a watch downstream before too long.

Yeah I dont think this thing falls apart through N IL. The only concern I'd have is missing both Chicago and Detroit to the south.

I'm headed up to IKK for a family party taking place this afternoon. It's usually an outdoor deal, so looks like this year I'm going to have to play weatherman :yikes: and make sure everyone gets inside before this possible derecho hits.

Why is there a seperate MI thread from the other one... this thread is unneeded.

Basically because it said PLAINS and I wanted to prevent the bull**** that happened last time from happening again.

It doesn't frankly care how the topics are arranged, I just want to discuss the weather without the whining about how people are posting.

I'm not sure where this idea is coming from about Chicago and Detroit missing that MCS over Iowa to the north.

All current indications suggests otherwise (WSW flow aloft, rising heights, etc.).

If nothing else I would be afraid that at least Detroit missed it just to the south or it weakens as it encounters the increasingly capped environment, but otherwise both places are in the B-line for it.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1013

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0839 AM CDT SUN MAY 29 2011

AREAS AFFECTED...ERN IA...NRN MO...NRN IL...SRN WI...NRN IND...SRN

LAKE MI...SW LOWER MI

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH NEEDED SOON

VALID 291339Z - 291445Z

A SEVERE THREAT WILL DEVELOP AS A LINE OF SEVERE STORMS DEVELOPS AND

INCREASES IN INTENSITY. THE MAIN THREAT WITH THE LINE SHOULD BE WIND

DAMAGE BUT HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. WW ISSUANCE WILL BE NEEDED

ACROSS THE REGION SHORTLY.

A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS LOCATED ALONG THE NRN

EDGE OF MODERATE INSTABILITY WHERE MESOANALYSIS ESTIMATES MLCAPE

VALUES ARE IN THE 500 TO 1000 J/KG RANGE. THE INSTABILITY GRADIENT

EXTENDS ENEWD ACROSS CNTRL IL INTO NRN IND AND THE LINE SHOULD

PERSIST THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. A ENEWD STORM MOTION AROUND 40 KT

SHOULD RESULT IN A WIND DAMAGE THREAT AS THE LINE MOVES EWD INTO THE

CHICAGO AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. AN ENHANCED WIND DAMAGE THREAT

COULD EXIST ESPECIALLY IF A WELL-DEVELOPED BOWING-LINE SEGMENT CAN

ORGANIZE. HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH THE MORE INTENSE CELLS

WITH THE LINE.
