.AVIATION...
SE Michigan is influenced by both northern Ontario high pressure and
a front stalled just south of the Ohio border this afternoon through
tonight. Ongoing NE boundary layer flow is rich enough in moisture,
especially with a boost from Lake Huron, for borderline MVFR/VFR
stratocu as heating ramped up since sunrise. Coverage is projected
to hold mainly north of PTK while trending more into VFR this
afternoon. Otherwise, the stalled front occasionally produces mid
level VFR clouds across the area with a component of Lake Erie MVFR
stratocu also possible in a veering wind trend later tonight and
Saturday morning.
For DTW/D21 Convection... No thunderstorms expected tonight and
Saturday.
DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES...
* None.

through the late morning and afternoon hours will aid in lifting
ceilings and eventually scouring out cloud cover as an encroaching
upper- level low over the Plains reinforces a shortwave ridge across
the Great Lakes. This will promote dry weather, outside of a very low
