Area forecast discussion, Jul 7, 3:54 PM CDT, 5 hours 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 354 PM CDT THU JUL 7 2016 .SHORT TERM... FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...Forecast confidence high. Low pressure over Lake Huron and the associated upper trough will move across southern Ontario Canada Fri nt. A north to south ridge of high pressure will follow the low over WI for the weekend with an upper ridge slowly approaching from the Great Plains. Near normal temps and humidity is forecast. TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...Forecast Confidence...Medium Current showers/storms will eventually clear the east by late afternoon as this shortwave exits. It looks mainly dry then into the evening. Could see a weakening area of storms move in from the west late evening and early tonight as another shortwave moves trough. Overall, have cut back on pops and precip amounts quite a bit for this evening and overnight compared to previous forecasts. Given lower confidence in widespread storms tonight, seems a lower chance for severe storms as well. Current activity is not reaching severe levels and storms tonight might arrive too late to pose much of a severe threat. Will have to monitor upstream radar trends closely. May see a lingering shower or storm early Friday morning, but otherwise most places will likely be dry through the morning. Could see a few showers in the north as cooler air approaches from the north. Milder temps will hang on long enough for near normal highs Friday. Dewpoints should be lower by afternoon though, which with a westerly breeze will help it feel more comfortable. .LONG TERM...Monday through Thursday...Forecast confidence medium. An occluded low will track from MT into southern Canada for early in the week with a series of shortwave troughs within the wswly flow aloft to the south over the central Great Plains into WI. This will bring very warm, humid, and unstable conditions to the region with chances of showers and tstorms for Tue-Thu. A cold front may pass for Wed nt-Thu. && .AVIATION/00Z TAFS/... Current showers/storms will eventually clear the east by late afternoon as this shortwave exits. It looks mainly dry then into the evening. Could see a weakening area of storms move in from the west late evening and early tonight as another shortwave moves trough. Should be mainly dry then Friday, aside from a few showers possible in the north during the afternoon. Most places are VFR this afternoon, though a few lower ceilings out there. Winds go pretty light for a time this evening and into tonight, so could deal with some more low clouds or fog. Could be a higher fog threat near Lake Michigan given east winds and fairly high dewpoints. Have seen some fog at times over the lake today. Should see VFR across the area by mid-morning Friday as a drier airmass moves in under westerly winds. && .MARINE... Fog is likely at times north of Port Washington into tonight, so will keep the Dense Fog Advisory going. May have to expand the advisory farther south. Conditions will improve late tonight into Friday morning as winds become southwest to west. Westerly winds Friday will approach Small Craft Advisory criteria. Overall though, looks like gusts will max out at around 20 knots, so will hold off on an advisory. && .MKX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... WI...None. LM...DENSE FOG ADVISORY until 7 AM CDT Friday for LMZ643. && TONIGHT/Friday AND AVIATION/MARINE...DDV Friday NIGHT THROUGH Thursday...Gehring
