Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 4:39 PM CDT, 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 439 PM CDT Tue Aug 1 2017 Updated aviation portion for 00Z TAF issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Wednesday Issued at 302 PM CDT Tue Aug 1 2017 The main emphasis to this part of the forecast will be precipitation trends through this evening due to the advancing cold front and mainly for Wednesday afternoon due to instability and passage of a mid-level shortwave. The 19z MSAS surface analysis indicated a pre-frontal trough that stretched from central Lake Superior southwest through northeast WI into northeast IA. The cold front extended from western Lake Superior southwest through northwest WI into southeast MN. The radar mosaic showed two lines of showers and thunderstorms associated with the aforementioned features. Scattered showers/thunderstorms will continue to push across the forecast area as the pre-frontal trough exits the area late this afternoon and the cold front slowly moves southeast tonight. Lack of shear and weakening instability should preclude any storms from becoming severe, however small hail and gusty winds are possible. The main impact from this frontal passage may be heavy rain with dew points in the 60s to around 70 degrees and PW values around 1.5 inches. Most of the precipitation is expected to diminish this evening north, around or shortly after midnight south. There could be some patchy fog development late tonight depending on how much precipitation fell. Min temperatures to range from the middle to upper 50s north-central, middle 60s east-central WI. Drier air will be slow to overspread the region on Wednesday and with some models showing a weak mid-level shortwave moving across WI during peak heating, there will be a chance of mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms over most of northeast WI. The exception may be far eastern WI where northeast winds to bring a stable marine layer inland. Otherwise, morning clouds should break into a mix of sun and clouds with cooler temperatures. Look for readings to only reach the lower to middle 70s north-central/near Lake MI, mainly upper 70s elsewhere. .LONG TERM...Wednesday Night Through Tuesday Issued at 302 PM CDT Tue Aug 1 2017 The main concerns during this part of the forecast are potential for showers and storms, especially for the latter half of the work week. Models continued to show differences in the track of a surface low that is forecast to move across Wisconsin Thursday afternoon into Thursday night. The NAM, GFS, Canadian and ECMWF all showed measurable rain across the entire area. The NAM kept the low to our south, while the others had at least part of the area in the warm sector of the system. The SPC severe outlook for day 3, 12Z Thu through 12Z Fri, had a small part of the southern forecast area in a marginal risk of severe. This may need to be pushed a little farther north since the 12Z model run showed the low taking a more northerly track than 00Z run. An upper level cyclone is expected to pass through Wisconsin on Friday, keeping at least chance PoPs going through the day. Looks like there could be some rainfall totals in excess of 2 inches across some part of the area before the event is done. Much cooler temperatures are in store for Thursday and Friday, with warmer, though cooler than normal, air moving back in for the weekend into early next week. && .AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance Issued at 439 PM CDT Tue Aug 1 2017 Two primary locations for convection through the early evening hours. The first area developed mid afternoon along a pre frontal trough over eastern Wisconsin and continues to pass over the Door Peninsula area and adjacent water late this afternoon. Next band associated with the cold front working into north central Wisconsin late this afternoon. Anticipate convection to gradually diminish this evening with loss of daytime heating but convection will still linger at least through the early evening hours as low level instability will still be available with surface dewpoints in the 60s. Otherwise between bands of convection, VFR conditions should dominate this evening. Patchy MVFR fog is possible later tonight. Low level surface dewpoints remain in the lower 60s to possibly produce more isolated storms Wednesday afternoon. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM.....Kallas LONG TERM......MG AVIATION.......TDH
