Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 2:32 PM CDT, 3 hours 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 232 PM CDT Wed Aug 1 2018 Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Thursday Issued at 232 PM CDT Wed Aug 1 2018 Scattered showers and thunderstorms continued across the region this afternoon. Temperatures ranged from the middle 60s across the far north to the lower to middle 80s across east-central Wisconsin. For the remainder of the afternoon into this evening, low pressure along a cold front is expected to move across the area. Additional shower and thunderstorm activity is expected, especially across central and east-central Wisconsin. Confidence is low that we would see severe storms due to the low 0-6 km shear values, however clearing is taking place across western Wisconsin for additional storms to form along the cold front. May concern would be for damaging winds and large hail. Low clouds will continue overnight with some patchy fog and drizzle across the north. Mostly cloudy skies will start the day on Thursday, with a gradual decrease in the clouds during the afternoon. It will be cool with highs in the middle 60s to lower 70s. .LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Wednesday Issued at 232 PM CDT Wed Aug 1 2018 Persistent trof over western Great Lakes will slowly move away from Wisconsin as upper pattern transitions to low amplitude/ zonal flow. A couple shortwave trofs are forecast to move across the region during the first part of the long term period. It appears the upper flow will go NW as stronger shortwave digs into the region mid-week. This pattern will slow the return to warmer/more humid weather until later next week. Until then, temps will be a few degrees either side of normal, with the coolest temps early in the long- term period. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1217 PM CDT Wed Aug 1 2018 A cold front will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the region this afternoon into early this evening. Some of the stronger thunderstorms could produce gusty winds, hail and heavy rainfall. Behind the cold front, poor flying conditions are expected to develop across the region from northwest to southeast as the night progresses. Expecting IFR CIGS or lower along with patchy fog and drizzle. The low clouds should reach KMTW last. Some gusty northerly winds can be expected on Thursday. Conditions (CIGS) will gradually improve Thursday morning. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM.....Eckberg LONG TERM......JKL AVIATION.......Eckberg
