Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
658 AM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019

Updated aviation portion for 12Z TAF issuance

.SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Sunday
Issued at 327 AM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019

The main forecast problem of the day will be the potential for
strong to severe thunderstorms across central and east-central
portions of the area this afternoon into this evening. Heavy
rainfall with any storms will also be a concern, with the soils
being saturated from the storms Friday night.

IR imagery this morning shows widespread cloud cover shifting off
into lower MI with additional cloud cover developing across southern
MN into west-central WI. WV imagery shows the next shortwave/MCS
over the Dakotas early this morning, drifting eastward. Radar
imagery shows some isolated to scattered showers developing along
the boundary in central to east-central WI. Temperatures are running
in 60s north to the low and mid 70s central into east-central, while
dewpoints continue to run in the 60s to low 70s respectively.

Today: A weak surface trough/frontal boundary, draped across central
into east-central WI, will drift slowly to the southeast this
afternoon into this evening as a cold front sags southeastward from
northwest WI. At the same time, a shortwave over the Dakotas this
morning, is expected to slide eastward, reaching northeast Wisconsin
around 18Z. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be
possible throughout the day along the aforementioned convergence
zone across central into east-central Wisconsin. In addition, the
shortwave passing through the area this afternoon will help to
steepen lapse rates and increase the amount of instability (CAPE) in
the atmosphere, mainly along and south of the southward sagging cold
front. Models are depicting around 1500 to 2500 J/kg of MUCAPE in
these areas during the afternoon. This, coupled with deep layer
shear values in the 35 to 45 knot range, will lead to strong to
severe thunderstorm potential near and just south of the front. The
main threats will be hail and gusty thunderstorm winds. In fact, SPC
has highlighted this area with a marginal to slight risk of severe
storms in the Day 1 outlook. Heavy rainfall will be a concern as
well with PWAT values running around 1.5 to 2 inches across central
into east-central Wisconsin. These areas picked up 1 to 3 inches of
rain from the Friday night storms, so conditions will be favorable
for flash flooding in those area. Instability tapers off across the
northern portions of the area, which may lead to mainly showers;
however, the shortwave moving through during the afternoon may
steepen lapse rates enough for some isolated to scattered
thunderstorms. Temperatures will be kept a bit cooler with the more
widespread cloud cover. High temperatures are expected to be in the
upper 70s north to the low 80s south.

Tonight into Sunday: The aforementioned shortwave will slide east of
the area this evening as the cold front sags farther to the south.
This will help to gradually decrease the chances for showers and
especially thunderstorms (and severe threat) this evening. Most
places will see precipitation end by the early overnight hours,
especially the north half of the CWA, north of HWY29. Drier air
and high pressure will build across the area late tonight and
linger through the day Sunday, continuing the break in
precipitation. It will feel much more comfortable as well with
high temperatures in the upper 70s to around 80 and dewpoints
falling into the 50s to around 60. Overnight lows will drop into
the 50s to around 60, warmest east-central.

.LONG TERM...Sunday Night Through Friday
Issued at 327 AM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019

Forecast concerns mainly revolve around timing precip chances over
the next week as the region transitions to northwest flow aloft, and
more seasonable weather.  Will continue to use a blend of the ecmwf
and gfs.

Sunday night through Monday night...Shortwave energy will be passing
across the area on Sunday night marking the transition to northwest
flow in the middle and upper levels.  Some moisture above 700mb will
accompany the wave and soundings look favorable for a few light high
based showers, particularly over central to east-central WI.  The
chance for spotty showers should exit by early Monday morning as
drier air pushes in from the northwest. High pressure will then move
into the region for Monday and Monday night, which looks quiet and
comfortable.  No significant changes to temps.

Rest of the forecast...Models continue to indicate that weak
shortwave energy will be diving across the area during the Tuesday
to Wednesday time period.  These shortwave impulses could generate a
few showers and storms, though some indications that precip chances
will be tied to the diurnal cycle (higher chances in the afternoon
and early evening).  The flow eventually flattens on Thursday before
turning to the southwest ahead of the next shortwave and cold front.
This front will likely bring the next widespread chance of showers
and storms around next Friday.

.AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 657 AM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019

Relatively benign conditions are expected this morning outside of
some scattered showers and an isolated thunderstorms with MVFR
ceilings. Heavier showers and thunderstorms are again possible on
this afternoon, mainly across central and east-central Wisconsin.
Hi-res models are in better agreement on developing this activity
during the afternoon hours, generally in the 18-21Z time frame.
Therefore kept a TEMPO group in the southern TAF sites during
this time frame. The convection could reduce conditions to MVFR or
even IFR in the heaviest rainfall. Although there is a marginal
risk for severe weather, the best chance looks to be to the south.

.KOSH...Intermittent showers and isolated thunderstorms will
linger through most of the morning hours. Heavier showers and
thunderstorms will likely move through Oshkosh site later this
afternoon. Some of these could be strong to severe with gusty
winds being the main threat. The most favorable timing for
thunderstorm activity this afternoon is between 18-21Z. Quieter
weather is then expected for Sunday into next week.
