Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 2:26 PM CDT, 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 226 PM CDT Fri Sep 8 2017 Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Saturday Issued at 225 PM CDT Fri Sep 8 2017 The latest RAP analysis and satellite/radar imagery show high pressure centered just north of Lake Superior early this afternoon. Scattered to broken cu developed by late morning over eastern WI with help from winds off Lake Superior and Michigan. With plenty of clear skies upstream, concerns tonight revolve around the potential for frost. Tonight...Rather large high pressure system will be sliding into the central Great Lakes, providing mostly clear skies and light winds. Could see a few strands of strato-cu move into east-central WI late as winds turn to the east off Lake Michigan. Otherwise, main focus is on temps tonight. With similar pwats to last night, low temps should be around last nights readings, perhaps slightly cooler over eastern WI where there will be less clouds. So will issue a frost advisory for the same areas as last night, and expand it to include northern Oconto and northern Marinette counties. Should also see patchy ground fog over northern WI as well. Lows ranging from the lower 30s in the north to the mid 40s near Lake Michigan. Saturday...High pressure will remain over the region. Should see some cu develop by mid-morning over eastern WI. Southeast winds will then push the cu to the west of the Fox Valley and Bay in the afternoon. Temps will be a degree or two warmer than todays highs. .LONG TERM...Saturday Night Through Friday Issued at 225 PM CDT Fri Sep 8 2017 Not much change in the long term since the previous forecast. Overall, quiet weather is expected. Surface high pressure will be east of Wisconsin on Sunday with a broad mid-level ridge stretching from the southwest CONUS to the western Great Lakes. This setup will be the general trend for the majority of the forecast period. Weak mid-level energy and some associated pcpn tries to moves in from the northwest towards the end of the weekend and early in the week, but models have been in agreement that this weakens before reaching the forecast area, with surface high pressure also keeping Wisconsin dry. Temperatures in far northeast Wisconsin may briefly fall into the upper 30s early Sunday morning. Beyond Sunday morning temperatures will be on the upswing with no frost potential currently in sight. Temperatures bounce around or slightly above normal from Sunday afternoon through the upcoming week. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1120 AM CDT Fri Sep 8 2017 Shallow moisture off Lake Michigan and Lake Superior has support the development of a cu field over eastern WI. With ample dry air above the inversion based on the 12z GRB sounding, this cu should mix out by mid-afternoon, which will leave mostly clear conditions for the rest of the forecast. Patchy ground fog is again possibly late tonight over northern WI. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Frost Advisory from midnight tonight to 8 AM CDT Saturday for WIZ005-010>013-018-019-021. && SHORT TERM.....MPC LONG TERM......KLB AVIATION.......MPC
