Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 3:02 PM CDT, 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 302 PM CDT Sat Jun 20 2020 Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Sunday Issued at 301 PM CDT Sat Jun 20 2020 Shortwave lifting northeast across Wisconsin will continue to produce showers and thunderstorms through the mid evening hours. Considerable cloud cover and precipitation have kept temperatures and instability in check. There is a small chance of a strong or marginally severe storm south of highway 10 during the late afternoon or early evening hours in the vicinity of the warm front. Locally heavy rain is possible through early evening hours, which could produce local flooding in some places. Lows tonight will be a few degrees above normal. Sunday should be pretty nice for Father's Day activities. It will be a little less humid than the last few days, with temperatures a few degrees above normal. There could be scattered showers late in the day in the western part of the forecast area as the next system approaches. .LONG TERM...Sunday Night Through Saturday Issued at 301 PM CDT Sat Jun 20 2020 Focus on the long term remains storm chances and flooding threat Sunday night into Monday night, with additional shower/storm chances Tuesday-Thursday and again late in the week. Temps look to generally be between 10 degrees below normal and 5 degrees above normal. Sunday night into Monday night...the 500mb low will slowly shift into western Ontario, as a piece of shortwave energy rotates into Wisconsin and a weak surface low and cold front push across the area. Showers/storms look to be ongoing Sunday afternoon/evening west of the area, then spread into our area as these features push east. Still some uncertainty on how exactly things will play out, as models differ slightly on timing/location of features and clusters of storms, but expect at least a round or two of storms across the area starting late Sunday evening and another round on Monday as the front drops across the area. Severe weather threat remains low do to limited instability; however, a severe storm or two can't be ruled out across central and east central WI ahead of the front. Bigger issue could be flooding as PWATs climb over 1.5" and any slow moving or training storms will create flooding issues, especially where the heaviest rain fell today. The threat for river flooding will also be increasing into early next week as a lot of water has fallen in some river basins. A few lingering showers are possible behind the front Monday night, but this activity will be on the lighter side. Tuesday into Thursday...northwest/cyclonic flow takes over across the region as the 500mb low remains slowly drifts east across Ontario. Expect a dry start each day then chances for showers and isolated storms increase in the late morning and afternoon as diurnally driven activity is expected, ending in the evening hours. Strongest activity could produce some hail as wet bulb temps will be under 8500 ft. Model soundings also showing a weak inverted V signature. Although there is no strong winds to mix down, evaporative cooling effects could produce some gusty winds in any storm. By Thursday...heights continue to build as ridging builds in from the west, reducing the chance for instability showers, but a few still can't be ruled out. Rest of the forecast...500mb low drifts into eastern Ontario and eventually Quebec late in the week, with the flow becoming more zonal across the CONUS. Another upper trough and surface low pressure is forecast to push across the area somewhere in the Friday or Saturday timeframe, bringing shower and storms back to the area. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1234 PM CDT Sat Jun 20 2020 Variable conditions are expected today with a lot of showers and thunderstorms ahead of a slow moving front. Conditions should be MVFR most of the time in most places, but brief heavy rain and IFR conditions are possible. The activity should end early this evening, but leftover moisture will result in low clouds and fog formation overnight. Improving conditions are expected Sunday morning, with VFR conditions by Sunday afternoon. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM.....RDM LONG TERM......Bersch AVIATION.......RDM
