AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
241 PM CDT WED AUG 15 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND THURSDAY.

LATEST RUC ANALYSIS AND SATELLITE/RADAR IMAGERY SHOW SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE MOVING TO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WHILE SHORTWAVE ENERGY
OVER THE LAKE WINNIPEG REGION IS PUSHING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE
NORTHERN PLAINS.  SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA
AND SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN EARLIER THIS MORNING HAVE DISSIPATED LEAVING
ONLY BANDS OF MID AND CLOUDS OVERHEAD IN A WARM ADVECTION REGIME.
ALONG THE FRONT...SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE OCCURRING
OVER NORTH DAKOTA AND NW MINNESOTA.  WITH STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE FRONT...SEVERE
WEATHER CHANCES IS THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN TONIGHT.

TONIGHT...SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER LAKE WINNIPEG WILL DRIVE A STRONG
COLD FRONT ACROSS THE NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS EVENING AND
INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN BY LATE TONIGHT.  A LINE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT LATER THIS
AFTERNOON...AND THEN PUSH EAST WITH THE FRONT.  TIMING OF THE FRONT
MAY HAVE SLOWED A LITTLE BIT...BUT STILL EXPECT SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE INTO NORTH-CENTRAL AND CENTRAL WISCONSIN
SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT AND INTO EASTERN WISCONSIN LATE TONIGHT.
THOUGH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF 40-45KTS ALONG THE FRONT IS SUFFICIENT
FOR SEVERE WEATHER...ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL BE SLOWLY DIMINISHING
TONIGHT WITHIN THE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  PROGGED SOUNDINGS
INDICATE RELATIVELY SKINNY CAPE BETWEEN 800 J/KG OVER NORTH-CENTRAL
WISCONSIN TO AROUND 1000 J/KG OVER CENTRAL WISCONSIN.  THERE IS A
LITTLE BIT OF A 850MB THETAE RIDGE POKING INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN
BETWEEN 09-12Z WHICH MAY BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN STORMS BETTER...AND
CONTRIBUTE TO LOW END SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES.  WITH THE SKINNY
CAPE AND DECAYING INSTABILITY...THE HAIL THREAT WILL BE MINIMAL.
BUT WINDS OF 40-45 KTS ALOFT COULD LEAD TO SMALL WIND THREAT OVER
CENTRAL WISCONSIN. ANY DESCENDING WIND WILL HAVE TO FIGHT THROUGH A
SHARP TEMPERATURE INVERSION ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER SO EVEN IF
STRONG STORMS ARE PRESENT...NOT A SURE BET THEY WILL REACH THE
SURFACE.  WILL MENTION THE SLIGHTLY HIGHER PROBABILITY OF SEVERE
WEATHER OVER CENTRAL WISCONSIN IN THE HWO.  OTHERWISE A WARMER AND
MUGGY NIGHT WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE 60S.

THURSDAY...THE FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
WISCONSIN DURING THE MORNING HOURS...KEEPING THE THREAT OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS AROUND.  WILL LIKELY SEE SOME CLEARING FOR A FEW HOURS
DIRECTLY BEHIND THE FRONT AS A DRY SLOT MOVES NORTHEAST...BUT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE QUICKLY ROTATES BACK INTO NORTH-CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
WISCONSIN IN THE AFTERNOON THAT WILL PRODUCE SCT TO BKN CU.  HIGH
TEMPS COOLING OFF INTO THE MID 60S NORTH TO MID 70S SOUTH.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE FORECAST...WITH
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY LOOKING DRY OTHER THAN A FEW SHOWERS OVER
NORTHERN WISCONSIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER THAT...MODELS ALL OVER
THE BOARD AS FAR AS PRECIP CHANCES STARTING SATURDAY MORNING AS
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STALLS OVER THE EASTERN CONUS AND CREATES A
BLOCKING-LIKE PATTERN. MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR THE EXTENDED
WILL BE PRECIP CHANCES SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...

COLD FRONT EXITS WI THURSDAY EVENING. MODELS IN AGREEMENT ON DRY
CONDITIONS STARTING THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MID- MORNING.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON EXPECTED TO BE DRY FOR MUCH OF THE CWA EXCEPT
FOR FAR NORTHERN WISCONSIN. MORE MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARDS SHOWERY
ACTIVITY FRIDAY AFTERNOON OVER FAR NORTHERN WI. SFC HEATING
COUPLED WITH STRONG CAA IN THE MID-LEVELS COULD LEAD TO PRECIP
STARTING AR 18Z FRIDAY ACROSS ALL OF NORTHERN WI. THEREFORE
EXPANDED THE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FURTHER WEST THAN PREVIOUS
FORECAST FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON WHERE MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL BE
COLDEST.

AT THIS POINT...CLOUD COVER SHOULD KEEP TEMPS ABOVE LEVELS THAT
WOULD LEAD TO FROST DEVELOPMENT OVER NORTHERN WI FRIDAY NIGHT.

...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL STALL TO OUR EAST...PUTTING WI IN AN AREA
OF NW FLOW ALOFT. WEATHER OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE A RESULT OF
SHORTWAVES DIGGING THROUGH THE MEAN FLOW. EACH MODEL HANDLES THESE
SHORTWAVES DIFFERENTLY WITH VARYING IDEAS FOR TIMING AND COVERAGE
OF ANY PRECIP. THIS RESULTS IN NUMEROUS PERIODS OF SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
IN THE EXTENDED. WAS ABLE TO KEEP THINGS DRY SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA AS GFS IS THE ONLY MODEL THAT HAS
WIDESPREAD PRECIP AND MODEL CONSENSUS KEEPS ANY SHOWERS THAT DEVELOP
OVER NORTHERN WI. SATURDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE DRY AS WELL ACROSS
ALL OF NORTHEAST WI AS WE LOSE THE DIURNAL HEATING AND PRECIP
SHOULD COME TO THE END. AFTER THAT...TOO MUCH MODEL SPREAD TO MAKE
ANY CHANGES.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK DUE TO STRONG NW FLOW ALOFT. WARMER TEMPERATURES CAN
BE THEN BE EXPECTED TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS THE FLOW TURNS SOUTH
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
&&

.AVIATION...A WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE STATE WILL
BRING ISOLATED SHOWERS TO THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON.  COVERAGE WILL BE
TOO SPOTTY TO INCLUDE EXPLICITLY IN THE TAFS.  A STRONG COLD FRONT
WILL THEN PROCEED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.  A
BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT AND SOME
STORMS COULD PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS UP TO 45 KTS.  LLWS WILL BE
INCREASING AHEAD OF THE FRONT THOUGH WILL DIMINISH ONCE THE FRONT
MOVES THROUGH.  SHOWERS WILL COME TO AN END LATE TONIGHT INTO
THURSDAY MORNING...BUT LOWER CIGS AND VSBYS TO MVFR LEVELS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE PRESENT BEHIND THE FRONT FOR SEVERAL HOURS.
CLEARING IS EXPECTED LATE TOMORROW MORNING BEFORE CLOUDS INCREASE
AGAIN FOR THE AFTERNOON.
