Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
601 PM CDT Fri Sep 25 2020

Updated aviation portion for 00Z TAF issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Saturday
Issued at 321 PM CDT Fri Sep 25 2020

The stratus deck across far north-central Wisconsin has opened up
enough to allow MUCAPEs across that region to soar to 1000 to 1500
J/kg late this afternoon. In addition to the instability, bulk
shear values are 40 to 50 knots and are expected to increase to
around 60 knots by the evening hours. These ingredients will be
available as a 500 mb PV anomaly tracks through the northwestern
Great Lakes region. This setup has the potential for a volatile
situation with possible supercells along with the threat for very
large hail, wind damage, and tornadoes. That being said, the HREF
ensemble paintball either brushes the extreme northwest portion
of the cwa late this afternoon and early this evening, or keeps
the activity across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There is
medium confidence that this event will unfold, however, there is
fairly low confidence if it will be far enough south to affect our
cwa.

The threat for severe weather will wane later this evening as
storms become elevated and generally shift off to the east as a
cold front moves through the area. Some fog will be possible
across central and north-central Wisconsin later tonight,
especially across areas that receive rainfall.

Saturday will also be a warm day, with summer-like temperatures
as high temperatures once again rise into the 70s with a few 80
degree readings possible. Instability and shear values will once
again be hefty, with MUCAPEs of 1000 to 2000 J/kg with effective
shear around 65 knots. This once again brings all severe types to
the table, however, there will also be a substantial capping
inversion in place. Therefore the best chance for weather will be
very late in the afternoon and probably closer to the evening when
a shortwave once again tracks through the region. The threat area
on Saturday will be a bit further south on Saturday, with the
entire area under the threat for severe weather and the best
chance along and north of the highway 20 corridor.

.LONG TERM...Saturday Night Through Friday
Issued at 321 PM CDT Fri Sep 25 2020

Long term features a major pattern change from a zonal flow to a
strong northwest flow which will bring an end to the late summer-
like weather and the arrival of very fall-like temps, plenty of
clouds and several chances for rain showers, along with a small
chance we could see the first flakes of the year across northern
WI. The main forecast concerns will be the severe weather threat
Saturday night, pinning down best/highest chances for showers next
week, and temps.

Saturday night...activity will be ongoing or will be expanding
around 00z Sunday as the upper level disturbance swings across the
area and the surface frontal boundary will remain stuck across
the region. Models signaling higher severe threat chances, with
impressive effective bulk shear values between 50-65 knots, mid-
level lapse rates increasing to between 7.0-8.0 C/km, and curved
hodographs, all favoring some supercells (especially near the
onset of convection). Some issues with instability and capping,
as quite a bit of cloud cover is expected which will limit CAPE
values to under 1000 J/kg by evening (a little higher with more
sunshine). Looks like a high shear, low CAPE event. Most areas
south of Highway 29 will be capped, so expected the majority of
the activity across the north. Any storms well north of the
boundary will likely be elevated, which would keep hail the main
threat. Locations near or slightly north of the boundary is where
the storms could become surface- based and where the greatest
threat for damaging winds and tornadoes would be. Main severe
threat will end by late evening as instability wanes. SPC has
upgraded to a slight and expanded the threat area, which makes
sense given some of the severe weather parameters. Some locally
heavy rainfall will be possible as PWATs climb over 1.5". Any
flooding issues look to be if/where any training storms occur.

Gusty and persistent south winds will bring large waves and
dangerous currents at times to Lake Michigan Saturday afternoon
into Sunday morning. Small craft advisories and beach hazard
statements will likely be needed once the current headlines
expire. Waves will subside as winds turn westerly on Sunday.

Sunday...surface boundary will slowly shift south of the area
through the day, as another shortwave trough digs into the Great
Lakes, keeping some chances for showers across parts of the area,
highest near the lake shore. Post frontal light showers will
remain possible into Sunday night as cold air advection takes hold
of the region.

Next week...as upper level trough digs over the Great Lakes, much
cooler weather will invade the region. A few spots could climb
into the lower 60s on Monday, but thereafter highs in the 50s are
expected mid-week and highs only in the 40s across northern WI
late in the week. A significant change from the 70s today and
Saturday! Plenty of precip chances in this pattern. The early to
mid week period is looking to feature days with isolated-
scattered shower activity with cold air aloft and pieces of the
upper trough/low move overhead. Thunder chances look low, but the
stronger showers could have some graupel. If temps late in the
week pan out, a few snowflakes could mix in across the far north.

.AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 601 PM CDT Fri Sep 25 2020

A cold front an upper-level system sill slide across the area this
evening and may produce some showers and storms near the RHI TAF
site; however, the rest of the area should remain dry. A low-level
jet is expected to develop, with a temperature inversion in place,
which will likely lead to LLWS at each of the TAF site tonight
into early Saturday morning.

The aforementioned temperature inversion, along with clearing
skies, may lead to fog formation overnight into early Saturday
morning. This would most likely occur at the western TAF sites
(RHI,AUW,CWA). Fog may become thick enough, similar to last night,
to produce at least a BKN ceiling at or around 200ft. Deeper
mixing will occur around sunrise and will quickly mix out the fog
and lower ceilings. The next chance of showers and storms will
arrive Saturday evening.
