Area forecast discussion, Jul 28, 8:10 PM CDT, 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Green Bay WI 810 PM CDT Wed Jul 28 2021 New Information added to update section .UPDATE... Issued at 801 PM CDT Wed Jul 28 2021 Severe weather event beginning to unfold across the area. Deep layer shear is very strong for July (50-70 kts), but buoyancy is still limited. The main reservoir of hot/humid air remains to the west, but is gradually advecting eastward toward the area. Anticipate the storms will continue go slowly intensify/organize with time as they drop southeast across the area, continuing to pose a severe threat. But whether or not a high-end severe threat develops in the area will depend on how quickly the more favorable air mass advects in from the west. && .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Thursday Issued at 324 PM CDT Wed Jul 28 2021 Some elevated convection will move across north central Wisconsin during the late afternoon hours, while more organized activity forms across northern Minnesota in association with a surface low and cold front. An elevated layer of smoke and significant middle and high clouds has slowed destabilization across the area today, but surface dewpoints have risen into the upper 60s to low 70s and large scale forcing will become much more favorable this evening as a strong upper trough moves across the area. We expect an organized convective complex to moves across the region this evening, with damaging winds and flooding rains the main threat. Wet bulb zero heights are fairly high, so the threat of large hail should be mainly associated any supercell thunderstorms that occur. LCL heights and shear are somewhat favorable for tornadoes with any discrete storms early this evening and for QLCS activity later in the evening. Precipitable water values are near record values, and will make for an urban and small stream flood threat despite the quick moving storms. The Green Bay and Fox City areas could have urban flooding with an inch and a half of ran in an hour. The precipitation will end overnight with cooler and less humid air arriving Thursday. .LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Wednesday Issued at 324 PM CDT Wed Jul 28 2021 Northwest upper flow will make for cooler and drier weather for Thursday night through Friday night. An upper trough and surface cold front should produce sufficient instability for a period of showers and thunderstorms Saturday. Forecast soundings predict CAPE values of 1000 to 1500 J/Kg thanks largely to cold temperatures aloft and surface dewpoints in the low 60s. Gusty winds and hail look possible. Dry and cool weather should follow for Sunday through Tuesday with somewhat warmer temperatures after that as upper ridging edges closer from the Plains states. && .AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance Issued at 643 PM CDT Wed Jul 28 2021 The primary aviation weather issue is the timing of the line of intense thunderstorms expected to develop and drop southeast across the area tonight. Tweaked timing a little on the 00Z TAFs, and some further adjustment will probably be necessary. Anticipate some fog/low clouds will form in the wake of the line as winds temporarily diminish near the cool front dropping south through the region. Gusty north winds are expected Thursday, along with diurnal convective clouds. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && UPDATE.........Skowronski SHORT TERM.....RDM LONG TERM......RDM AVIATION.......Skowronski
