Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Thursday
Issued at 157 PM CDT Wed Aug 7 2019

The latest RAP analysis and satellite/radar imagery show a cold
front moving to the southeast over far northwest Wisconsin early
this afternoon. A few storms popped over northern WI by late
morning, in a region of low level moisture convergence, and
quickly became near severe. Instability has been slowly growing
ahead of the front, with mixed layer capes exceeding 1200 j/kg.
Effective shears are highest over western WI, but 25 to 30 kts of
deep layer shear will be supportive of strong to severe storms
developing along the front this afternoon. High resolution
guidance indicates thunderstorms growing upscale across north-
central initially, before spreading southeast into the Fox Valley
around 5-6 pm. Damaging winds and large hail will be the main
threats with the strongest storms. Forecast concerns mainly
revolve around the severe thunderstorm threat into this evening.

Tonight...The cold front will be moving southeast across northeast
WI in the evening, exiting over northern Lake Michigan and
southern WI around 10 pm. Instability will be weakening rather
quickly after around 7 pm, so think the threats from the strongest
storms will mainly become strong damaging winds over northeast WI
until the storms exit. Clouds will decrease thereafter, as
northwest winds gradually push in cooler and drier air. Lows
ranging from near 50 in the northwoods to the low 60s over east-
central WI.

Thursday...The region will be on the southern periphery of
troughing centered over northern Ontario. Models project ample dry
air in the mid to upper levels, with an inversion present in the
800-700mb layer. Should have enough moisture in the low levels
after the recent rains for some flat fair weather cu popping with
the heat of the day. Cooler highs ranging through the 70s.

.LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Wednesday
Issued at 157 PM CDT Wed Aug 7 2019

Dry conditions are expected Thursday night through Friday night as
surface high pressure slides across the Great Lakes and upper
ridging works into the northern Plains. Mostly clear skies, a dry
air mass and light winds will provide for a couple cool nights,
especially in the typical cold spots of central and north central
WI, where 40s are expected. Mostly sunny skies are expected on
Friday with highs in the 70s to around 80, which is slightly below
normal for this time of year.

Dry weather should continue into Saturday morning as the surface
high will slide east of the region. By Saturday afternoon, weak
pieces of shortwave energy will move from the northern Plains into
the Great Lakes. Still some uncertainty on location and timing as
these features are tough to pin down, especially this far out.
Chance or slight chance POPs seems reasonable from Saturday
afternoon/evening into Sunday morning. Model disagreement
continues from Sunday into early next week, with the
location/timing of shortwaves, boundaries, and possible complexes
of storms. Overall, temps look to be near or slightly below normal
through the 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.
