Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 3:27 AM CDT, 12 hours 1 minute before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI 327 AM CDT SAT JUN 28 2008 .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY DRY SLOT WORKING INTO NORTHEAST WISCONSIN EARLY THIS MORNING. MUCH OF THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAS SCOURED OUT SOUTH OF HIGH 29. TO THE NORTH...LOW CLOUDS AROUND ONE THOUSAND FEET WERE NOTED. IMPRESSIVE UPPER LOW EXPECTED TO SWING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TODAY. EVEN AT THIS HOUR...SHOWERS WERE NOTED UNDER THE UPPER LOW ACROSS THE EASTERN DAKOTAS. FOR TODAY...MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO WORK INTO THE WEST THIS MORNING...AND ACROSS THE EAST THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE TRENDED A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS THIS MORNING ACROSS THE WEST...MAINLY FOR THE LATE MORNING HOURS. CONTINUED NUMEROUS DEPICTION/WORDING FOR THIS AFTERNOON. MODIFIED SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW SOME POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS DUE TO EVAPORATIVE COOLING DURING THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON HOURS AS COLUMN BEGINS TO SATURATE. LIKE LAST WEEKEND...HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN ISSUE FOR TODAY. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW LIFTED INDICIES DROPPING TO -5 C WITH CAPES OF 500 TO 1000 J/KG. MAY STILL NEED TO WORRY ABOUT LOW TOPPED SUPER CELLS THAT COULD GENERATE FUNNEL CLOUDS AND POSSIBLY A WEAK TORNADO. SPC HAS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR THIS AFTERNOON. MORE FOCUS WITH LEAD SHORTWAVE WITH UPPER LOW AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME HEATING THIS MORNING MAY CAUSE A FEW STORMS IN THIS AREA TO PRODUCE THREE QUARTER INCH HAIL. THE UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY PUSH EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. PIECES OF ENERGY ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW COULD TRIGGER SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON. AM EXPECTING SOME PARTIAL SUNSHINE ON SUNDAY...THEREFORE DID RAISE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES ON SUNDAY. .LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THE BIG PICTURE HAD THE 500MB LOW AND SURFACE LOW DEPARTING THE REGION EARLY IN THE WEEK. THERE MAY STILL BE SOME SHOWERS LEFT SUNDAY EVENING...BUT THEY SHOULD BE DONE BY 06Z. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND AN UPPER RIDGE WILL PROVIDE SOME DRY WEATHER. UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WHEN A FRONT PUSHES SOUTH INTO WISCONSIN. THE FRONT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THERE WILL STILL BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT BUT THUNDER IS LESS LIKELY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CWA...FARTHER NORTH OF THE FRONT. LOOKS LIKE A WARMING TREND FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK WITH WARM ADVECTION UNTIL THE COLD FRONT REACHES THE AREA. SO HAVE GONE WITH WARMER MAX TEMPERATURES. && .AVIATION...UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL SWING ACROSS WISCONSIN THIS AFTERNOON. THERE IS A CHANCE OF SHOWERS THIS MORNING FOR LOCATIONS WEST OF IRON MOUNTAIN TO WAUTOMA LINE. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH PRIME HEATING AND UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. FORECAST/MODIFIED SOUNDINGS SUGGEST SOME OF THE STORMS IN THE EARLY TO MIDDLE AFTERNOON HOURS MAY PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS. MAIN THREAT THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE HAIL... GENERALLY SHOULD BE FROM PEA SIZE UP TO AROUND A HALF INCH. A FEW STORMS SOUTH OF GREEN BAY TO WAUSAU LINE COULD POSSIBLY PRODUCE HAIL UP TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH. MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES EXPECTED IN THE THUNDERSTORMS. THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL LINGER INTO THE EVENING HOURS. AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES SLOWLY EAST OF THE AREA LATER TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY...WEAK DISTURBANCES WILL PIN WHEEL AROUND THE UPPER LOW. TIMING THE SHOWERS IN THE TAF WILL BE HARD BASED ON THE DIFFERENT MODEL SOLUTIONS. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && ECKBERG/MG
