Area forecast discussion, Aug 28, 6:37 PM CDT, 5 hours 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 637 PM CDT Sat Aug 28 2021 Updated aviation portion for 00Z TAF issuance .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 232 PM CDT Sat Aug 28 2021 Still warm and very humid with showers and thunderstorms tonight--and possibly lingering over the east on Sunday. Cooler and much less humid conditions are expected for the upcoming work week. Large scale pattern changes during the period will be rather subtle. A modest band of seasonably strong westerlies will remain across the northern United States and Canada throughout the period. The mean trough position will be over the West, with ridging downstream shifting between the eastern and central CONUS and eastern Canada. Amplitude will tend to wane the first few days of the period, increase a little during the upcoming work week, then decrease again late in the period. The warm and very humid air mass presently across the area will give way to more seasonable (cooler and less humid) conditions, with temperatures generally near to a little above normal after tomorrow. The chance for precipitation will be limited after tomorrow. So amounts for the period will depend heavily upon what falls in about the next 30 hours, with below normal amounts expected thereafter. && .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Sunday Issued at 232 PM CDT Sat Aug 28 2021 Skies were partly to mostly cloudy this afternoon. Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed across portions of northeast and east-central Wisconsin. The clouds, and showers and storms have kept temperatures down with readings in the upper 70s to middle 80s. For the rest of the afternoon into tonight, scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to move northeast across northeast Wisconsin. A cluster of showers and thunderstorms now across northwest Wisconsin, which was warned on early this afternoon will move into north-central Wisconsin late this afternoon mainly north of Rhinelander at the moment based on radar trends. Will need to monitor this cluster of storms that has a history of producing gusty winds, frequent lightning strikes and torrential rainfall. Meanwhile, a cold front across the eastern Dakotas and northwest Minnesota will be the focusing mechanism for additional shower and thunderstorm develop. This cluster of storms will move into central and north-central Wisconsin around or shortly after midnight. Some of the storms could still be strong or severe, with the main risk being damaging winds and torrential rainfall. The models have the thunderstorms quickly weakening as they move into northeast and east-central Wisconsin toward 12z Sunday. Lows tonight will be in the lower to middle 60s north to the lower 70s across northeast and east-central Wisconsin. There will be some lingering showers around early Sunday morning as the cold front enters the area. Yesterday, there was some concern that there was a risk of severe weather across east- central Wisconsin. It now appears the front will be just east of the area where the risk of severe weather appears to be lower today. The Storm Prediction Center Day 2 Outlook has removed the marginal risk from east-central Wisconsin. The showers and storms should come to an end by late afternoon with drier air filtering in from the west. .LONG TERM...Sunday Night Through Saturday Issued at 232 PM CDT Sat Aug 28 2021 It now appears the cold front will exit the area quickly enough that any convection accompanying the front will be east of the area by 00Z Monday. Once the front clears the area, quiet weather will settle over the region for a few days as an anticyclone ridges from Hudson Bay into the Lake Superior region. Isolated- scattered showers are possible mid-week as weak shortwaves rotate through the area. Diurnal destabilization will probably play a role in the rain chance, so any showers would most likely occur during the middle to early evening. Warmer air from the Plains will begin to return to the area late in the period, leading to a little better chance for precipitation late next week. The standard broad-based blend of guidance products used to initialize the forecast grids seemed reasonable, so no significant changes were necessary. && .AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance Issued at 637 PM CDT Sat Aug 28 2021 Another few rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected through Sunday morning ahead of a cold front approaching the western Great Lakes region as evidenced on upstream doppler radar observations. The best chance for this activity will be across north-central Wisconsin as many CAMs models dissipate the storms before they reach east-central Wisconsin. The showers and storms could produce some gusty winds and heavy rain, but the highest risk for severe weather appears to be out to the west. Look for some MVFR/IFR CIGS to develop across northern Wisconsin late tonight due to abundant low level moisture. On Sunday, a cold front could trigger more storms across far eastern Wisconsin early in the afternoon which could impact KGRB/KATW/KMTW. At this time the coverage does not appear high enough to include in the TAFs. Behind the cold front, gusts of 20 to 25 knots are expected from the west Sunday. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
