Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 3:21 PM CDT, 2 hours 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 321 PM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018 Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Sunday Issued at 320 PM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018 Outflow from showers and thunderstorms over northern Wisconsin and Lake Michigan today kept the warm front from lifting as far north as expected earlier. As a result, high temperatures today did not reach even reach the 80s in some locations. The warm front is expected to move north tonight, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms especially north of the boundary. The warm front will likely make it to the Michigan border by Sunday afternoon, making Father's day quite warm and humid, except right at the lakeshore. High temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s combined with dewpoints in the lower 70s will produce heat indices in the mid to upper 90s in many places. Heat advisories could be issued for central and east central Wisconsin if it gets warmer than expected. A cold front will move into central and northcentral Wisconsin Sunday afternoon, and to eastern Wisconsin during the evening. The very warm and humid conditions combined with the convergence along the front should produce some strong to severe thunderstorms with large hail and strong winds. .LONG TERM...Sunday Night Through Saturday Issued at 320 PM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018 Models keep southwest flow in place across the region through the early portions of the extended period. This will keep shower and thunderstorm chances in place through Monday. As the sub- tropical ridge begins to break down, dry conditions will move in for the middle of next week before the next low pressure system kicks over from the Rockies and into the Central Plains, bringing with it another shot at some active weather at the end of the work week. Sunday night into Monday will be much like the earlier parts of the weekend with lingering shower and thunderstorm chances across northern, central, and northeastern Wisconsin. Ample instability will be in the region, but with little shear, anticipate the organized severe threat to consist primarily of wind and flooding, with the isolated potential for large hail. Precipitable water values around 2 inches coupled with the chance to see some training storms will keep the flood risk at the forefront, especially for areas that have already seen heavy rainfall over the weekend. Monday the cold front will come through the region, bringing with it another shot at active weather. The timing of this front will affect the overall severe chances during the day, with a later arrival increasing severe chances in the evening, as instability builds through the day. Once the front is through, a few lingering showers are possible, but drier conditions will arrive by Tuesday evening through the midweek. Models then begin to suggest the next low pressure system will bring active weather towards the end of next week, but its too early yet to get the timing down for this system. Temperatures will be above normal Monday, near normal Tuesday, and then remain a few degrees above normal through the end of next week. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 234 PM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018 Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible north of a slow moving warm front that stretched roughly from Eau Claire to Wisconsin Rapids at 19z. The front will move slowly north this afternoon and tonight. MVFR ceilings are possible north of the warm front as well. A cold front will move across the area Sunday afternoon and evening and bring a line of showers and storms and possible strong winds and hail. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 320 PM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018 Heavy rains from the last two days combined with several more rounds of heavy rainfall could produce some flash flooding in Oneida and Vilas counties tonight through Monday. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flash Flood Watch through Monday afternoon for WIZ005-010. && SHORT TERM.....RDM LONG TERM......Eckberg AVIATION.......RDM HYDROLOGY......RDM
