DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 410 AM EDT SUN JUN 29 2025
WARM FRONT WILL BEGIN TO EDGE BACK NORTH TODAY, ALLOWING FOR
AFTERNOON HIGHS TO REACH THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 EVEN ALONG THE
LAKESHORE AREAS OF LK MI. 70+ DEWPOINTS ARE NOT TOO FAR AWAY AND
WILL SLOWLY EDGE NORTHEAST INTO TONIGHT. INSTABILITY WILL BEGIN TO
INCREASE, BUT TRIGGERS WILL BE VERY LIMITED WITH ANY MINIMAL CHANCES
FOR A POP UP SHOWER/STORMS CONFINED TO AREAS SOUTH OF US-24 (INTO
THE 70+ DEWPOINTS) AND MAYBE ALONG THE LAKE SHORE AREAS OF LAPORTE
COUNTY AS A WEAK LAKE BREEZE MAY FORM AND HUG THE COAST. MAINTAINED
A SLGT CHC POP IN FAR SOUTH/SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON BUT SUSPECT
THIS MAY EVEN BE OVERDONE. LULL IN CHANCES OCCURS MOST, IF NOT ALL
OF TONIGHT BEFORE SUBTLE DISTURBANCES POTENTIALLY ALLOW FOR WIDELY
SCATTERED SHOWER/STORM DEVELOPMENT MONDAY MORNING AS INSTABILITY
INCREASES FROM MORE WIDESPREAD 70 DEWPOINTS. BETTER CHANCES
ARRIVE MONDAY AFTERNOON DURING PEAK HEATING, BUT LACK OF DEFINED
TRIGGER AREAS STILL EXISTS BEFORE THE MAIN COLD FRONT ARRIVES
LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. OVERALL ATMOSPHERE WILL BE
SIMILAR TO END OF LAST WEEK WITH MORE OF A PULSE NATURE TO
STORMS AND SOME POTENTIAL FOR LIMITED ORGANIZATION AS BEST SHEAR
AND DYNAMICS LAG THE COLD FRONT. AS MENTIONED IN PAST
DISCUSSIONS, MODEL BLEND HAS BEEN EXTREMELY OVERDONE WITH POPS
MONDAY AFTERNOON (80-95%) WITH ABOVE CONCERNS WARRANTED A
CONSENSUS TO CAP POPS AT LIKELY. A FEW SPOTS MAY SEE SOME
LOCALIZED STRONG TO SEVERE WIND GUSTS (SPC DY2 MARGINAL RISK-
LEVEL 1 OF 5) MAINTAINED, BUT LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN APPEARS A
GREATER THREAT WITH PWATS 1.75" TO OVER 2" AND A RATHER WEAK
OVERALL FLOW.
COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH BY 6Z TUE WITH DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED
INTO FRIDAY WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S AND LOWER
HUMIDITY. DIURNAL SHOWER/STORM CHANCES MAY INCREASE FOR THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND AS MOISTURE INCREASES, BUT LACK OF STRONG
TRIGGERS OR DYNAMICS SHOULD LIMIT COVERAGE AND INTENSITY.
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 620 AM EDT SUN JUN 29 2025
EXISTING TAFS REMAIN ON TRACK AMID HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES. WIND LESS THAN 10 KNOTS TODAY. VERY LATE IN
THE TAF PERIOD, THERE COULD BE INCREASING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS
FROM ANY LINGERING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER IL AND WI.
GUIDANCE DIVERGES SIGNIFICANTLY IN HOW ANY SHOWERS/STORMS MAY
LIMP INTO NORTHWEST IN BY DAYBREAK MONDAY. THE BETTER CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS AND STORMS AT KSBN OR KFWA IS NOT UNTIL MONDAY
AFTERNOON.
