Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 3:08 PM CDT, 2 hours 47 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
308 PM CDT SUN JUN 5 2016

Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Monday
Issued at 308 PM CDT Sun Jun 5 2016

A short-wave trof and associated sfc trof will continue to
generate showers and thunderstorms late this afternoon and
early evening. The tstms may produce wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph
and hail up to dime size over north central WI, where CAPE is
currently 400-600 j/kg. Convection should quickly shift east of
the region by mid-evening, followed by partly cloudy skies for the
rest of the night.

On Monday, another short-wave trof and associated cold front will
push through the region. This wave will arrive earlier in the day,
with showers spreading southeast across the region during the
mid to late morning. With abundant cloud cover and limited
heating, instability should be weak, so not expecting any severe
weather.

lows tonight will be in the low to mid 50s, with highs on Monday
only in the 60s to around 70 range.

.LONG TERM...Monday Night Through Sunday
Issued at 308 PM CDT Sun Jun 5 2016

A broad upper-level low pressure trough over the eastern half of
North America will deliver a chance for showers and thunderstorms
to Northeast Wisconsin through Tuesday. Meanwhile, high pressure
over western North America will intensify and shove the low
pressure trough east into the Atlantic by Friday. Dry and pleasant
weather is expected midweek during the transition, but warm
temperatures and a chance for showers and thunderstorms will
return as the axis of the ridge approaches late in the week.
&&

.AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1233 PM CDT Sun Jun 5 2016

An upper level disturbance will bring scattered showers and
isold tstms to the region from mid-afternoon to early evening.
Confidence is only high enough to include a tempo group for
tstms at RHI/AUW/CWA. Aside from local mvfr conditions with
tstms, anticipate VFR conditions to prevail. Another short-wave
trof will arrive late Monday morning, and bring sct showers
to the TAF sites.
