.UPDATE...
Issued at 1026 PM EDT Sun Mar 30 2025

The main update to the forecast this evening is to freshen up
everything by getting rid of all of the convection and severe
weather mention.

Except for a narrow band of showers SE of Grand Rapids at 1020 pm,
the rest of the area is in a relative lull in the wake of the
convection from earlier. We are expecting some rain showers to
move back in over the next few hours as the main wave moves over
the area. The focus of these showers will be across the western
half of the forecast area with the way the wave is swinging
through.

It is likely that as the showers are about ready to wind down
toward daybreak, that they will change to a little bit of snow
before ending. This should not cause any impacts with the ground
warm from the previous few days.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 337 PM EDT Sun Mar 30 2025

- Severe weather expected late this afternoon and evening

The warm front has surged north of I-96 this afternoon and now
stretches from just north of Muskegon across Northern Kent County
to just north of St. Johns. The open warm sector continues to
surge through the CWA with clearing now moving up into the I-96
corridor. MUCAPE values have surged to 2,000 j/kg into the I-94
corridor now. Suffice it to say the instability has arrived. The
mid level shortwave is plowing northeast from MO/IL which is
providing the lift. A broken line of storms have developed along
and ahead of the mid level wave over IL. These storms are racing
northeast towards our area at this time and are expected to sweep
from our southwest Lake Michigan marine zones over mid lake to
east of U.S. 127 between 400pm and 800pm.

The main hazard continues to look like strong damaging winds given
the convection has already gone linear upstream. The linear mode
is what was expected. Hail remains a threat, but we feel wind
continues to be the highest threat. Tornadoes remain a
possibility as well, but likely from two modes. One being embedded
QLCS type tornadoes and the other being storms interacting with
the warm front which currently is just north of I-96. Supercells
are not out of the question, but with a dominant linear mode
already occurring this mode is less likely. Bottom line, we are
expecting a severe weather episode to sweep through the area over
the course of the next 4-5 hours with damaging winds likely being
the main threat.

Storm movement will be to the north and northeast at 50-60 mph.
Locally heavy rain is expected, but it will not last long given
those speeds.

Some wrap around moisture will sweep through the area overnight
and it will likely change over to some snow in spots before
ending. Temperatures plunge into the 30s over the entire at 12z.

- Mid next week system with potential for both winter and severe
  weather

Our forecast focus going forward will be on the mid next week
system. The precipitation will come in as a wintry mix Tuesday
night into Wednesday morning with both snow and freezing rain
looking likely. The day 4 severe probabilities are high in the SPC
forecast for that range in time and that is appropriate given a
strong spring time low moving through the Great Lakes which again
pulls 60F dew points north into our area at the surface. More on
this system as we go forward.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 752 PM EDT Sun Mar 30 2025

Severe weather threat, and even storm threat is over with for all
of the terminals for tonight. We are in a relative lull between
the exiting storms, and additional showers that will develop
toward 02-04z. These showers will bring MVFR to IFR conditions
with it in the form of lower ceilings. KMKG has LIFR-VLIFR due to
stratus and fog off of the lake. These showers will change to some
snow showers toward the west, before showers end for inland areas
toward 10z. The showers will end later at the lakeshore.

Most of the day on Monday will just have lower clouds in the MVFR
category lingering most of the day. Wind gusts from the west, then
northwest will gust in the 20-28 knot range through most of this
forecast period.
