Area forecast discussion, Jul 12, 3:45 AM CDT, 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 345 AM CDT Fri Jul 12 2019 Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Saturday Issued at 344 AM CDT Fri Jul 12 2019 Discussion for this portion of the forecast will follow a little later. .LONG TERM...Saturday Night Through Thursday Issued at 344 AM CDT Fri Jul 12 2019 Summer time heat and humidity expected during the period as the westerlies remain along the Canadian border. A new concern tonight with respect to the heat. The latest models are indicating there could be a few thunderstorm complexes from time to time through the middle of next week that could ultimately impact high temperatures on one or a few days depending on timing of the storms. With the expected heat and humidity, it possible that any of the complexes could bring the risk of severe weather. For Saturday night, high pressure will be in control of the weather bringing dry conditions with lows in the middle 50s to lower 60s. The high pressure system will slide east of the area on Sunday, bringing increasing heat and humidity. There is a small chance of a thunderstorm with the return flow across central and north-central Wisconsin Sunday afternoon. For Sunday night, the main axis of the low level jet should crank up west of the area. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to break out across Minnesota and then spread east or develop across northern Wisconsin after midnight. Some differences in the models with respect to location and coverage, but the GFS/ECMWF would suggest chance category for storms right now. The Canadian model kept the precipitation north of the area. Outflow boundaries and any ongoing convection Monday morning could impact high temperatures Monday afternoon, especially across the far north. At this time, think the rain should exit the area early enough to allow temperature reach the forecast high temperatures. For Monday night, a frontal boundary north and west of the area will trigger scattered thunderstorms. Some of the storms are expected to move into central, north-central and far northeast Wisconsin Monday evening. Most of the activity should dissipate by late evening or early on Tuesday morning. The combination of daytime heating and nearby frontal boundary will trigger additional thunderstorm activity Tuesday afternoon and evening. The frontal boundary will linger across the Upper Midwest Wednesday and Thursday. The location of the boundary will depend on any thunderstorm complexes that roll across the region during this time frame which could have an impact on high temperatures. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1106 PM CDT Thu Jul 11 2019 Expect mainly VFR conditions into the afternoon hours. The exceptions will be some MVFR fog tonight, mainly from 08Z to 12Z, as a high pressure system passes across Wisconsin. An approaching cold front will bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms to northern Wisconsin Friday afternoon. The front will continue southward during the evening but instability decreases so activity along the front should begin to wane. Have included VCSH in the TAFs. Thunderstorms are possible, and there is the potential for strong wind and hail with the stronger storms. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Beach Hazards Statement from noon CDT today through this evening for WIZ022. && SHORT TERM.....Skowronski LONG TERM......Eckberg AVIATION.......MG
