Areal Flood Advisory 13, NWS Green Bay, WI

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
341 PM CDT THU JUL 28 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND FRIDAY.

THE CHANCE OF STORMS TONIGHT IS THE MAIN CONCERN DURING THIS PART
OF THE FORECAST. CONVECTION THAT PRODUCED EXTREME RAINFALL ACROSS
PARTS OF EASTERN IOWA...NORTHWEST ILLINOIS AND SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN
MOVED EAST THIS MORNING. ANOTHER AREA OF CONVECTION IN IOWA
WEAKENED BY THE TIME IT REACHED WISCONSIN. THERE WERE PLENTY OF LOW
CLOUDS AND SOME FOG IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN AND MUCH OF MINNESOTA
THIS MORNING...DELAYING DIABATIC HEATING AND DESTABILIZATION.

STORMS BEGAN TO FIRE IN SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AROUND 18Z. THE STORMS
APPEAR TO HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE VICINITY OF A SURFACE COLD FRONT/TROUGH
WHERE LOCAL MESOANALYSIS GRAPHICS INDICATED IN EXCESS OF 2000J/KG
OF CAPE AND LITTLE TO NO CONVECTIVE INHIBITION. THERE WAS ALSO
SOME MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVING INTO THE AREA. AT 1930Z
RADAR SHOWED WHAT APPEARED TO BE SOME TYPE OF BOUNDARY EXTENDING
FROM MARINETTE COUNTY TOWARD THE CONVECTION IN MINNESOTA. EXPANDED
CHANCE AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS A BIT FARTHER NORTH JUST PRIOR TO
ZONE ISSUANCE. SPC UPDATED DAY 1 OUTLOOK TO INCLUDE THE AREA WITH
THE STORMS IN SLIGHT RISK AREAL...AND NESDIS SATELLITE ANALYSIS
BRANCH SUGGESTED HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL WITH STORMS IN WESTERN
WISCONSIN AND SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA. PW VALUES FROM 12Z SOUNDINGS
WERE...DVN 2.24 INCHES...MPX 1.36 AND GRB 1.49...SO THERE WAS
OBVIOUSLY PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN PLACE ALREADY THIS MORNING. HIGHER
POPS MAY BENEEDED FOR THE 06Z TO 12Z PERIOD BUT WILL LET THE
EVENING SHIFT DECIDE BASED ON TRENDS THIS EVENING.

HIGH PRESSURE MOVING INTO THE STATE ON FRIDAY SHOULD RESULT IN
PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THRU WEDNESDAY.

FAIRLY TYPICAL MID-SUMMER PATTERN TO PERSIST DURING THE EXTENDED
PERIOD AS BROAD SUBTROPICAL HIGH REMAINS ANCHORED ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN CONUS. NORTH OF THE SUBTROPICAL HIGH...PRIMARY FORECAST
CHALLENGE WILL REVOLVE AROUND TIMING OF EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE
DISTURBANCES WITHIN THE ZONAL FLOW TRAVERSING THE NORTHERN TIER OF
STATES. ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MCS
ACTIVITY DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD...UNCERTAINLY EXITS ON THE
EXACT TIMING AND LOCATION OF THIS ACTIVITY WHICH WILL UNDOUBTEDLY HAVE
AN IMPACT TEMPERATURE TRENDS. OVERALL TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
ABOVE NORMAL RANGING FROM THE MIDDLE 80S TO NEAR 90.

ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO PREVIOUS FORECAST. DID ADD A MENTION OF
SOME PATCHY FOG LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.
FELT COMBINATION OF WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE...LIGHT BLYR WINDS
AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES COULD LEAD TO SOME FOG OVERNIGHT. FOCUSED
MORE ON THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE MORE
SUBSTANTIAL RAINS HAVE FALLEN OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.

FIRST NOTABLE SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES SATURDAY NIGHT. MCS ACTIVITY SHOULD INITIATE NEAR THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER CENTRAL/NORTHERN MINNESOTA BY EARLY EVENING AS
LLJ STRENGTHENS OVER THIS REGION. MODELS DIFFER ON EXACTLY HOW
THIS MCS ACTIVITY WILL EVOLVE AS IT APPROACHES THE FORECAST AREA
BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. ECMWF AND NAM SUGGEST HEAVIEST ACTIVITY
OVERNIGHT WOULD TEND TO DROP SOUTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN MN AND
SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN...WHILE GFS TENDS TO MAINTAIN STRONGEST
ACTIVITY ACROSS NORTHERN WISCONSIN. NAM ALSO SUGGESTS POTENTIAL
FOR ADDITIONAL MCS ACTIVITY TO DEVELOP NEAR FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS
NORTHERN WI BY AFTERNOON THEN DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FOX
VALLEY BY EVENING. DEEP LAYER SHEAR...MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND
DEGREE OF INSTABILITY WOULD SUGGEST SOME SEVERE POTENTIAL WITH
ACTIVITY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...BUT DETAILS STILL TO BE
DETERMINED. FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD SAG SOUTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA BY AROUND 00Z MONDAY AND THEREFORE MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS FOR SUNDAY EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTH.

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS MONDAY BRING GENERAL FAIR AND WARM
CONDITIONS BEFORE NEXT SOMEWHAT STRONGER DISTURBANCE APPROACHES THE
AREA ON TUESDAY.
&&

.AVIATION...THUNDERSTORMS...AND ASSOCIATED MVFR AND ISOLATED
CIGS/VSBYS...WERE THE MAIN CONCERN AT LEAST THROUGH THE EVENING.
STORMS SHOULD BE MOVING OUT OR ALREADY OUT OF THE AREA LATER IN THE
NIGHT. TOMORROW LOOKS LIKE VFR VSBYS AND CIGS.
&&

.GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
