Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
218 PM CDT Tue Aug 28 2018

Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Wednesday
Issued at 218 PM CDT Tue Aug 28 2018

The latest RAP analysis and satellite/radar imagery show a cold
front stretching from La Crosse to Wausau to the tip of Door
County early this afternoon. Widespread low clouds surged
southeast late this morning to cover most of north-central and NE
WI, setting up a relatively tight temp gradient across the region.
A band of showers and storms continues to track northeast behind
the front and into north-central WI within a zone of mid-level
fgen. Meanwhile, more cellular thunderstorms are developing ahead
of the front and along/south of an outflow boundary over
southwest WI and northeast IA. Despite widespread low clouds, ML
capes of 1500-2500 j/kg and deep layer shear of 45-50 kts
continues to point towards a severe storm threat developing south
of a Marshfield to Oconto to Sturgeon Bay as storms push
northeast along this outflow boundary and ahead of the front
through the rest of the afternoon. Given storm evolution to our
southwest, will extend the flash flood watch across Waupaca and
Portage counties. Damaging winds and torrential rains will be the
main threat, and hail to a lesser extent. Also cannot rule out an
isolated spin up given the beefy 0-3 km shear vectors.

Tonight...Shower and thunderstorm chances will be ongoing across
much of the region at 00z. Based on the latest HRRR runs, it
appears that the strongest thunderstorm activity will be occurring
over east-central WI early this evening, but then exit the area
around 02-03z. Therefore it appears the best chance of severe
weather will continue through that time period before evolving
into more of a heavy rain with embedded storms scenario. Potential
for flooding remains possible in the flash flood watch area due
1-3 inches of rainfall in the forecast, with locally higher
amounts. Precip will exit to the east overnight, with widespread
clouds and cooler conditions moving across the area.

.LONG TERM...Wednesday Night Through Tuesday
Issued at 218 PM CDT Tue Aug 28 2018

Wednesday through Thursday: The cold front that produced all the
active weather over the past couple days will continue to shift off
to the east of the area through the day Wednesday. At the same time,
a dry surface ridge will slide across the CWA through this time
period. Aloft, the upper level trough axis will swing through the
Western Great Lakes region during the day Wednesday as heights begin
to rise Wednesday night into the day Thursday. The weather will be
much cooler and fairly quiet. High temperatures will be in the 60s
to around 70. Humidity values will drop as well, leading to more
comfortable conditions.

Thursday night through Saturday: The surface ridge and upper-level
ridge will slide to the east Thursday night allowing for a more
moist southerly return flow into the Western Great Lakes. These
features will continue eastward through Saturday as as a more
wrapped-up surface low and closed upper level low slides from
Manitoba into Hudson Bay. This will drag a cold front across the CWA
Friday afternoon into Friday night. Additionally, a shortwave is
progged to slide through the Western Great Lakes as well. While the
overall instability will be determined by the exact timing of the
front, it does look like enough instability will be around to
increase the risk of thunderstorms. Models are depicting around 20
to 30 knots of deep-layer shear ahead of the front, so severe
weather is not out of the question. Again, if the front comes
through during peak heating, the chances of severe weather will
increase, while a delay toward the later evening hours would result
in a diminished severe potential. Temperatures for this time period
will warm to above normal, once again, with highs in mid to upper
70s to low 80s.

Saturday night through Monday: Medium range models then point toward
the cold front shifting to the east of the area Saturday night with
dry high pressure building in on Sunday. At the same time, upper-
level flow is expected to become nearly zonal across the Western
Great Lakes. This will lead to near normal temperatures for this
time period with only small chance of showers and thunderstorms,
mainly on Monday. This is basically what the consensus of the models
is showing.

.AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1247 PM CDT Tue Aug 28 2018

Numerous cloud decks to contend with this afternoon, but
generally expecting MVFR cigs in precipitation free areas. Showers
and thunderstorms are expected to move into the area this
afternoon, which will lower cigs and visibility to IFR at times.
The bulk of this activity will continue through mid to late
evening and gradually taper off from northwest to southeast. A few
showers are possible across east- central Wisconsin through early
Wednesday morning. Cigs will also lower to IFR levels after
midnight across the forecast area. Improvements are expected
through the second half of Wednesday morning, with skies
eventually clearing out beyond the TAF period during the
afternoon.
