.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 335 AM EDT Mon May 13 2024
Mild but relatively dry low level flow early today at the onset will
become slightly more moist later today. Weak upper support and very
weak fgen/low level convergence was just enough to trigger/support
isolated showers/storms north of the Michigan border. High resolution
models/CAMs were having a hard time picking up this activity. Expect
the showers and isolated storms will move out of the area before
daybreak.
An upper level system had moved out of Colorado over the weekend and
was over Kansas early this morning. This upper low will drift east
ahead of an increasing moist environment. Precipitable water values
will rise to around 1.40". Very limited instability and lack of
low level shear will greatly limit any severe storm risk. The
activity should arrive late today and early tonight and persist
through Tuesday. A second upper level system will arrive later
in the week and bring additional chances for showers and storms
in generally the same environment of high precipitable water
values, low CAPE and limited shear. Locally heavy rain is likely
at times which will bring rises on rivers and possibly bring a
few of the more flashy rivers into action stage or minor flood
stage like North Manchester, Portland and Spy Run. The latest
OHRFC ensemble river forecasts using the GFS model favor several
rivers exceeding the action stage by late Sunday. Otherwise,
did raise blend highs for Sunday to around 80 with the potential
for highs to reach the mid 80s supported by the EC and GFS.
