Area forecast discussion, Aug 5, 2:33 PM CDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 233 PM CDT Mon Aug 5 2019 Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Tuesday Issued at 229 PM CDT Mon Aug 5 2019 The threat for severe weather continues to be the main challenge in the short-term. Cold front approaching the area is moving into a moist, unstable atmosphere. Convection from earlier MCV moving across NE Wisconsin while additional storms form near the surface front. Somewhat drier air will move into the area overnight, but low- level mositure will be sufficient for areas of fog. Weak ripple in WNW flow aloft may set off isolated convection, perhaps associated with convergence along lake breeze. .LONG TERM...Tuesday Night Through Monday Issued at 229 PM CDT Mon Aug 5 2019 Another cold front is expected to move through the region Wednesday afternoon and evening, and bring thunderstorms to the forecast area. CAPE is expected to build to 1500-2500 j/kg ahead of the boundary, as deep layer shear increases to 25 to 35 knots. SPC has the forecast area in a Marginal risk for severe weather, which seems reasonable for now. Convergence along the boundary is not expected to be very strong, due to low-level westerly flow, so coverage should be scattered. Canadian high pressure is expected to build into the region for the end of the work week, and bring dry weather, cooler temperatures and low humidity. A new development is the potential for precipitation on Saturday, as WAA on the northwest periphery of the departing high, a short- wave trof, and a coupled upper jet impact the region. This should be a quick hitter, with Canadian high pressure returning for the end of the weekend and early next week. && .AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance Issued at 647 AM CDT Mon Aug 5 2019 A cold front and upper level disturbance will combine to produce showers and thunderstorms as they move across the region today. IFR conditions and strong surface wind gusts are possible with the thunderstorms, with VFR conditions elsewhere. The activity will end from west to east this evening. Some ground fog or low stratus is possible late tonight through about 12z Tuesday, then VFR conditions will prevail for the remainder of the daytime hours. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM.....JKL LONG TERM......Kieckbusch AVIATION.......JKL
