Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1213 PM CDT Thu Aug 31 2017 Updated aviation portion for 18Z TAF issuance .SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Friday Issued at 329 AM CDT Thu Aug 31 2017 Surface high north of Lake Superior will drop slowly south into the western Great lakes today through Friday. Northeast low level cold air was producing some lake and bay effect clouds that should dissipate by midday. Areas of dense fog in northcentral Wisconsin should dissipate a few hours after daybreak. Highs today will be around 10 degrees below normal. Clear skies and light winds should allow temperatures to fall into the 30s and 40s tonight, with potential for frost across the far north. The air is very dry, and should cool quickly after dusk. Think we will see some low to mid 30s in the usual cold airport places such as Land O' Lakes, Tomahawk, and Manitowish Waters, but anywhere close to the hundreds of warm lakes will probably be five degrees warmer. Comparisons to similar upper air and surface conditions on the Saint louis University analog web site suggests a 30 percent chance of sub freezing temperatures just north of the Michigan border between Land O'Lakes and Iron Mountain. It's top analog is the night of August 24, 2008 if anyone is interested. Will send out a Special Weather Statement and have the day shift decide whether to issue a frost advisory. Nice late summer weather expected friday with sunny skies and highs within a few degrees of 70F. .LONG TERM...Friday Night Through Wednesday Issued at 329 AM CDT Thu Aug 31 2017 Forecast concerns revolve around precip chances into early next week, followed by temperatures as a deep trough becomes settled over the region by next Tue-Wed. Will continue to use a blend of the ecmwf/gfs. Friday night through Saturday night...A digging shortwave trough over the northern Great Lakes will send a cold front into northwest Wisconsin by 12z Saturday, before the front quickly moves into eastern WI by 00z Sunday. Ahead of the front, will see mostly clear conditions continue through Friday evening. Then clouds will increase from the west after midnight, with a slight chance of rain arriving over north-central WI by daybreak. Rain chances will then spread across all of north-central and northeast WI on Sat morning before exiting by late in the afternoon. Position of right front quad of a jet streak continues to suggest that the highest precip chances will occur over northern WI as opposed to further south. Will then see clearing occur on Sat evening as weak high pressure moves into the region. Temps on Sat will range from the upper 60s to mid 70s. Rest of the forecast...Will see a weak trough pass across the area on Sunday, but upper support does not look as significant as it did at this time yesterday. Will keep a dry forecast. Then models have timing differences in regards to the passage of the next front, which could occur on late Sunday night through Monday afternoon. This front looks to be moisture starved, but will continue to have widespread low chances of precip. Colder air will then filter in behind the front through the middle of next week. With such a deep trough overhead, will likely have light shower chances at times, with some diurnal enhancement. Frost concerns will depend upon clouds and wind, but the airmass will be cold enough for frost over the course of several nights next week. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1213 PM CDT Thu Aug 31 2017 Cold air flowing over the lake and bay continues to produce areas of MVFR clouds over northeastern and east-central Wisconsin. These should dissipate this afternoon as dry air continues to advect into the area. Good flying weather expected through Friday, with the possible exception of ground fog late tonight across north-central Wisconsin. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Frost Advisory from midnight tonight to 8 AM CDT Friday for WIZ005-011-012. Beach Hazards Statement until 10 PM CDT this evening for WIZ022- 040-050. && SHORT TERM.....RDM LONG TERM......MPC AVIATION.......Kurimski
