Area forecast discussion, May 28, 3:09 PM CDT, 2 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 309 PM CDT Sun May 28 2017 Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Monday Issued at 309 PM CDT Sun May 28 2017 An area of showers moved out of eastern Wisconsin by early afternoon but another round of showers, and thunderstorms, was moving through north central and parts of central Wisconsin. This second round was associated with a mid level short wave and surface cold front. The latest RAP and HRRR showed the second area of showers exiting the state by early evening, with convection that was moving into western Wisconsin this afternoon dissipating or at least weakening considerably with loss of daytime heating. There looks to be a lull in the convective activity during the night, but still have some PoPs mainly across north central Wisconsin closer to the surface and upper level cyclones. The chance for showers, and some thunderstorms, will increase again on Memorial Day with daytime heating destabilizing the atmosphere and another mid level short wave moving across Wisconsin. A cooler air mass, clouds, and rain will keep temperatures cooler on Memorial Day than they were today. Highs are expected to range from the middle 50s to the middle 60s. .LONG TERM...Monday Night Through Sunday Issued at 309 PM CDT Sun May 28 2017 Cyclonic upper flow will keep mostly cloudy and cool weather across our area through Wednesday along with scattered showers mostly in the afternoon and evening hours. Northwest upper flow forecast Thursday and Friday, though scattered showers or thunderstorms are possible Thursday night and Friday as a shortwave trough moves through the flow. Saturday and Sunday's forecast is a little less certain, as the models have big differences in the movement of upper jet energy from the Plains states. The GFS looks more reasonable with a chance of showers versus the ECMWF idea of heavy rain Saturday. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1254 PM CDT Sun May 28 2017 An area of showers moved out of eastern Wisconsin around midday. There were some IFR ceilings in the wake of the departing precipitation but breaks in the clouds were developing and their bases were rising. Observations closest to the Bay and Lake Michigan were IFR at 17Z and BKN-SCT 1000-2000 foot AGL clouds prevailed a bit farther to the west. Showers and thunderstorms were moving into north central Wisconsin early this afternoon, associated with a mid level short wave and surface cold front. Some of the storms produced small hail in northwest Wisconsin. Ceilings were mostly VFR, with scattered MVFR, as the storms passed. Expect ceilings in the east to become VFR by mid afternoon, with some showers and storms moving into that area. There should only be scattered MVFR ceilings and/or visibility with the precipitation. Showers and storms are expected to exit central and north central Wisconsin early in the afternoon, with VFR conditions until late tonight when MVFR ceilings arrive. && .MARINE... Issued at 309 PM CDT Sun May 28 2017 Westerly winds, occasionally gusting to near 25 knots, are expected Memorial Day. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM.....MG LONG TERM......RDM AVIATION.......MG MARINE.........RDM
