Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
219 PM CDT Tue Sep 4 2018

Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Wednesday
Issued at 218 PM CDT Tue Sep 4 2018

The latest RAP analysis and satellite/radar imagery show a warm
front stretching across the Upper Peninsula, and a cold front
extending over far northwest MN and central SD early this
afternoon. Where skies have cleared south of the warm front, temps
have risen into the middle 80s with juicy mid 70s dewpoints.
Plenty of instability within this airmass (SB capes 2000-3000
j/kg) for scattered showers and storms through early this evening.
Not out of the question that a severe weather threat will develop late
this afternoon over parts of central into east-central WI as the
atmosphere continues to destabilize. Damaging winds will be the
main threat with any storms develop. Meanwhile a plume of deep
moisture is extending from the western Gulf to the Upper
Mississippi Valley. Shortwave activity over Nebraska is helping
generate a band of showers and storms within this deep moisture
plume. As this deep moisture interacts with the cold front,
instability, and shortwave activity, severe weather and flash
flood chances are the main forecast concerns.

Tonight...The cold front will slowly move to the southeast into
northwest WI late. Ahead of the front, a shortwave trough over
the Plains and a wave of low pressure will travel northeast across
west-central to north-central WI from late evening through
overnight. A few strong to severe storms are possible early in the
evening to mid-evening as ample diurnal instability interacts
with 25-35 kts of deep layer shear. Central WI has the higher
shear so believe the higher threat of severe weather will occur
there. After this initial period of convection, a large swath of
showers and storms are expected to push into central and north-
central WI late this evening. Strong fgen forcing within the right
entrance region of a jet streak to go along with very good
moisture transport via a 50 kt low level jet will lead to the high
potential of heavy rainfall. Most short range guidance is in good
agreement placing the axis of heavy rainfall from western
Marathon to Florence county, where a 2 to 4 or 3 to 5 inch
rainfall is possible. Issued a flash flood watch earlier this
morning for parts of central and all of north-central WI. Given
the strength of the low level jet and low level helicities
associated with the surface low, may see an isolated damaging wind
threat develop along the southern edge of the heavy rainfall,
where elevated instability above 1000 j/kg will persist through
the overnight hours.

Wednesday...The heavy rainfall will be tapering off and exiting
the area to the northeast and east during the morning hours for
the most part. A few showers may linger into the early afternoon
over east-central WI. With the cloud cover, morning showers and a
north wind, temps will be cooler and range from the upper 60s in
the north to middle 70s south.

.LONG TERM...Wednesday Night Through Tuesday
Issued at 218 PM CDT Tue Sep 4 2018

Relatively quiet weather is anticipated during the extended
period. Canadian high pressure is expected from Wednesday night
through Saturday, along with pleasant, near-normal temperatures.

Forecast confidence is lower later in the weekend. The 00z ECMWF
brought the remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon into the region,
along with a good chance of rain south and east. However, the 12z
ECMWF has fallen more in line with the latest GFS, and keeps the
system well to our south before shunting it off to the east. For
now, will just carry small pops south and east Sunday into Sunday
night, and see how the models trend in upcoming days.

A weak cold front may also bring a small chance of showers to
north central WI Monday into Monday night, but that is a low
confidence proposition too.
&&

.AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1134 AM CDT Tue Sep 4 2018

An active period of weather is expected across the region from
late this afternoon through the early morning hours of Wednesday.
Isolated to scattered showers and storms are expected to develop
late this afternoon and evening south of warm front. Any storms
will have the highest chances of impacting the central WI taf
sites. Otherwise, looking at the best chances of storms impacting
the area from about mid-evening to late tonight. The strongest
storms will be capable of producing strong and gusty winds. Cigs
and vsbys will likely fall to ifr as the storms push through. Cigs
should be slow to rise on Wednesday morning.

Low level wind shear will also impact the eastern WI airports
tonight.

247 PM CDT Tue Sep 4 2018

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north-central and northeast
Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Thunderstorms with torrential rainfall and isolated wind damage
can be expected late this afternoon through tonight. Flash
flooding is possible in north central and parts of central and far
northeast Wisconsin tonight into Wednesday morning, and a Flash
Flood Watch is in effect. The best chance of severe storms with
damaging winds and isolated tornadoes should occur on the
southeast periphery of the heavy rainfall threat area, from
central into northeast Wisconsin.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Tuesday

Rain and thunderstorms will gradually diminish on Wednesday.
Locally heavy rain is still possible over far northeast Wisconsin
Wednesday morning, but severe storms are not anticipated.

The expected heavy rainfall should cause area rivers to rise,
with some rivers reaching bankfull or flood stage by the weekend.
Boaters and fishermen should be alert for fast flows which could
make for dangerous conditions on area rivers.

There is a high risk for rip currents along Lake Michigan beaches
from early morning through early afternoon on Wednesday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are requested to report flooding or wind damage,
rainfall amounts in excess of an inch, and measured wind gusts
over 40 mph.

The Bay of Green Bay south of a line from Cedar River MI to Rock
Island Passage-Lake Michigan from Washington Island to Sheboygan-
247 PM CDT Tue Sep 4 2018

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of northwest Lake
Michigan and the waters of Green Bay.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Fog on Lake Michigan will reduce the visibility sufficiently to
pose a hazard to boaters at times. There is also a chance of
thunderstorms on the lake and bay.

Increasing south winds and building waves will lead to conditions
that are hazardous to small craft on Lake Michigan from late
tonight through early afternoon Wednesday. Thunderstorms will
also be possible late tonight that could pose a hazard to boaters.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Tuesday

Thunderstorms and patchy fog will be possible at times on
Wednesday, and may pose a hazard to mariners.
