Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
403 AM CDT Sat Jul 18 2020

Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance

.SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Sunday
Issued at 400 AM CDT Sat Jul 18 2020

The Mesoscale Convective Complex moving across Northwest Wisconsin
should weaken as it moves east into drier air and weaker low level
wind field. It should weaken further after sunrise as the cloud
tops warm.

What happens after that is the 64,000 question. The ECMWF forecasts
an east west line of convection to form in the early afternoon
from Wausau to Green Bay, probably along the outflow boundary from
the MCS this morning. That would seem plausible, but none of the
other models forecast that, and it seems like there might be
enough convective inhibition to keep it from happening. Thus, went
with a mostly dry forecast after 15z until convection forms
across northwest Wisconsin again during the early evening hours.

If the above reasoning is correct, there should be a decent amount
of sunshine this afternoon across much of the area, causing temperatures
to rise into the upper 80s to low 90s with tropical dewpoints in
the low to mid 70s. This should add up to heat indices of 100 to
105 across central and east central Wisconsin and in the 90s up
north. Northern Door County would be the best place to escape the
heat.

A stronger upper trough and surface cold front will approach
northwest Wisconsin in the late afternoon, and produce a line or
convective complex that moves into northcentral Wisconsin in the
early evening and across the rest of the area overnight. Think
these storms have more severe thunderstorm potential as they will
be moving into a very unstable environment with decent shear.
While any form of severe weather looks possible, damaging winds
seem to be the biggest threat.

Sunday should be a breezy and cooler day, with temperatures closer
to normal for this time of the year. Scattered showers would be
ending shortly after sunrise in the eastern counties if they
haven't already. Highs will be a few degrees above normal with
much lower dewpoints.

.LONG TERM...Sunday Night Through Friday
Issued at 400 AM CDT Sat Jul 18 2020

With the severe focused weather now in the short term part of the
forecast, attention turns to the upcoming week which will feature
broad zonal flow and several weaker passing systems.

Sunday night through Monday...Dry conditions will extend through
the beginning of the extended period as weak high pressure keeps
the area dry through much of Monday. The next weak shortwave is
expected to move through the region Monday night into Tuesday.
Instability and severe parameters appear to be fairly limited with
this system, but precipitable water again ranges between 1-1.25
inches, so a few areas of heavy rainfall are possible.
Temperatures during the early extended will head back closer to
normal, with highs in the middle 70s to middle 80s.

Tuesday...Models bring a surface low up into the region behind the
shortwave, keeping active weather in place through much of
Tuesday. Instability and shear are still fairly unimpressive at
this time, but moisture will be plentiful, so another heavy
rainfall risk is expected.

Rest of the extended...High pressure builds back in for the
midweek, but will be relatively short lived due to the fairly
progressive pattern we are in. The next shortwave will arrive by
the end of the work week, and bring in another shot at some active
weather in the region. Temperatures through this period will stick
fairly close to normal, ranging from the lower to middle 80s.

.AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1132 PM CDT Fri Jul 17 2020

The main concern for this TAF issuance will be timing of
convection after midnight into Saturday morning. Hi-Res models
continue to push a line of convection into central Wisconsin
around 9Z-10Z then reaching eastern Wisconsin by 11Z-13Z. Some of
the storms may maintain intensity into the early morning hours
with strong/damaging winds possible. Have included a tempo group
with increased wind gusts with a quick shift to the west/northwest
for the central WI TAF sites (RHI/AUW/CWA). Farther east, into
the ATW/GRB/MTW TAF sites, the storms will arrive closer around
after daybreak. The main question for those sites will be how
broken the line is and how much intensity remains. Many of the Hi-
Res models have the storm breaking up around that time period.
Within any of the stronger storms, MVFR/IFR conditions will be
possible with visibility and ceiling height reductions. Much of
the rest of the day Saturday will see scattered CU with little
precipitation expected after the morning round of storms as temp
inversion remains in place. This may lead to some LLWS in the
evening over the eastern TAF sites. The next chance will likely
move in Saturday evening into the night once again. Some of those
storms could be strong to severe. This would mainly impact the
RHI/AUW/CWA TAF sites at the end of this TAF issuance.
