Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 3:30 PM CDT, 5 hours 32 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI 330 PM CDT THU JUL 13 2000 SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING/TONIGHT ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS. MIDDAY SURFACE ANALYSIS HAD A TROUGH FROM EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR INTO NORTHEAST WI AND ANOTHER TROUGH FROM A LOW IN SOUTHEAST MN INTO WESTERN WI. DEW POINTS WERE MAINLY IN THE 60S ACROSS WISCONSIN WITH A FEW 70S IN THE EAST (EXCEPT FOR SUSPECT 70S DEW POINTS AT SOME AWOS SITES). THUNDERSTORMS STARTED TO FIRE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. RADAR LOOPS SHOWED THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHWEST FROM NORTHWEST WI TO DOOR COUNTY. SOME LARGE HAIL HAS OCCURRED WITH THE STORMS IN NORTHEAST WI. SURFACE DATA WAS MISSING...THEN BEHIND FOR A FEW HOURS EARLIER. NOW THAT IT HAS CAUGHT UP...SURFACE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE MAXIMA WERE OVER WESTERN UPPER MI AND SOUTHEAST MN. LI VALUES WERE AT OR BELOW -4 STATEWIDE WITH -7 IN NORTHWEST WI. MESOSCALE DISCUSSION FROM SPC MENTIONED POSSIBLE WATCH OVER WI SO WILL WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO ISSUE ZONES. MODELS DEVELOP A COLD FRONT AND DROP IT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE EVENING. WARM ADVECTION FORECAST AT 850 MB RESULTING IN STEEP 850- 700 MB LAPSE RATES BUT 700-500 MB LAPSE RATES NOT AS STEEP. STEEP LOWER LEVEL LAPSE RATES GET SHOVED TO THE SOUTH WITH PASSAGE OF THE FRONT. LI VALUES ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE AS CAPE VALUES DECREASE TONIGHT. OTHERWISE...THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN U.S. AMPLIFIES AND ITS AXIS BECOMES MORE POSITIVELY TILTED. EASTERN TROUGH DIGS AND A CUT-OFF LOW DROPS SOUTH TO AROUND ERIE PA. AS THINGS LOOK NOW...WILL GO WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NORTHERN CUTS AND CHANCE POPS FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES ON FAN AND FWC ARE SIMILAR AND DO NOT LOOK BAD. .GRB...NONE. MG WWW.CRH.NOAA.GOV/GRB

WIZ005-010>013-018>022-030-031-035>040-045-048>050-131900- HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI 1200 PM CDT THU JUL 13 2000 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHEAST AND PARTS OF CENTRAL AND NORTH-CENTRAL WISCONSIN. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER OVER THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. INCREASING INSTABILITY IN THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE AND THE APPROACH OF A SURFACE TROUGH FROM THE WEST WILL TRIGGER THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE BEST CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS IS OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN WISCONSIN. THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THESE STORMS IS LARGE HAIL...ALTHOUGH SOME WIND DAMAGE IS ALSO POSSIBLE. DUE TO THE ISOLATED NATURE OF THE EXPECTED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING. WEATHER UPDATES CAN ALSO BE FOUND IN THE SHOTRT-TERM FORECAST ONCE THUNDERSTORMS BEGIN TO DEVELOP. MG WWW.CRH.NOAA.GOV/GRB
