Updated aviation portion for 18Z TAF issuance

.SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Thursday
Issued at 307 AM CDT Wed Aug 7 2019

A cold front and attendant PV anomaly will bring an increased
chance for showers and thunderstorms throughout the day as it
sinks south. There is currently activity along the front, which
could impact north-central Wisconsin this morning. The better
chance for rain will be this afternoon and this evening when
daytime heating is maximized as CAPE values rise to 1000 to 2000
J/kg. In addition to the instability bulk shear values will rise
to a respectable 25 to 35 knots which will increase the risk for
severe weather across the region. There will be a slight risk for
severe weather this afternoon and this evening due to the
instability and shear values with damaging winds, large hail and
localized flooding due to heavy rainfall. Hi-res models indicate
the main storm mode across our area will be multicell clusters
with the possibility of a few lines forming as well. High
temperatures today ahead of the cold front will rise into the
lower to middle 80s across central and east-central Wisconsin,
with highs in the upper 70s across north-central Wisconsin given
an earlier fropa.

Once the storms end later tonight a cooler airmass will settle in
across the western Great Lakes with quieter weather as well.
Overnight lows will sink to around 50 across north-central
Wisconsin with lows in the lower 60s across east-central
Wisconsin. Thursday will be noticeably cooler with much lower dew
points behind the front as daytime highs range from around 70
across the north, with middle to upper 70s across central and
east- central Wisconsin.

.LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Tuesday
Issued at 307 AM CDT Wed Aug 7 2019

High pressure will bring dry conditions to the region Thursday
night into Saturday morning. Based on the latest numerical
guidance, did lower minimum temperatures on Friday and Saturday
mornings due to dry air mass in place and longer nights, combined
with slightly cooler MEX guidance values. This would allow
temperatures to fall into the middle and upper 40s on one or both
nights across the north. Highs Friday and Saturday will be in the
70s to around 80.

Still a lot of uncertainty when rain chances arrive Saturday or
Saturday night. Will have small chances across the west Saturday
afternoon and a chance across the entire area Saturday night. The
models tonight have the big discrepancy in location of the rain
on Sunday, but converge to a dry solution on Monday although the
Canadian model brings a complex just south of the area during the
day Monday. The chances of rain may return on Tuesday. High
temperatures should be in the 70s to around 80 during the
remainder of the forecast period.

.AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1122 AM CDT Wed Aug 7 2019

A cold front remains expected to move across the region this
afternoon and evening. VFR conditions can be expected until
thunderstorms become more widespread this afternoon. Some of the
thunderstorms could be strong to severe during the middle
afternoon to early evening hours, with strong winds and large hail
being the main threats. Winds will shift to the west and
northwest behind the front by early evening as showers and
thunderstorms come to an end from northwest to southeast. Good
flying weather is expected thereafter with relatively light winds
and fair weather clouds popping across the area by late Wednesday
morning.
