Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 255 PM CDT Mon May 31 2021 Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Tuesday Issued at 255 PM CDT Mon May 31 2021 For this afternoon/evening, isolated to scattered showers and storms will continue across northern WI, then spread south/east through the area during the late afternoon and early evening. Activity having a hard time getting organized due to weak bulk shear (weakening from west to east as the shortwave over Lake Superior tracks east) and weak/weakening convergence away from any lake breeze boundary. Starting to see some agitated cumulus along the boundary, but not robust yet. MUCAPEs have climbed to between 700-1200 J/kg over parts of central and north central WI, with much lower values in the Fox Valley and lake shore due to the lower dewpoints. Steep low level lapse rates were noted with modest mid-level lapse rates of around 6.5-7 C/km. The low wet bulb heights of 6000-7000 feet will continue to favor hail producing storms, with the strongest possibly producing some severe hail. Some gusty winds will be possible too, but diminishing wind fields will limit the damaging wind potential. Locally heavy rainfall is expected where the storms train over the same location. The activity will encounter less instability and less moisture as it heads east, especially near/after sunset, so much of the activity looks to wane by 03-04z. For late evening/overnight, skies will at least partially clear out as the trough and front exit the area. Light winds, recent rainfall and mostly clear skies will lead to some fog development, especially where the heavier rain falls. Lows look to fall into the middle 40s to lower 50s for most spots. For Tuesday, look for any fog to burn off in the early morning hours, with partly to mostly sunny skies expected to start the day. A few more clouds will develop through the day. Weak high pressure looks to keep things dry, along with limited moisture, but can't rule out a stray shower along the remnant outflow boundary and/or lake breeze. A couple models showing some fog on Lake Michigan during the day, but not sure if dewpoints will be high enough to generate fog over the water. Will wait to see how dewpoints respond after the rainfall and the system passes before adding any lake fog. Temps will be very spring-like and will return to a little above normal readings, with most spots seeing highs in the 70s, except cooler near the shores of Lake Michigan. .LONG TERM...Tuesday Night Through Monday Issued at 255 PM CDT Mon May 31 2021 A weak upper trough will cross the region Wednesday into Thursday, but most of the energy will pass south of GRB CWA. Despite the lack of significant forcing, there may be enough afternoon instability to support isolated/scattered showers and thunderstorms. An upper level ridge will build over the western Great Lakes region late in the week, and this will help to suppress convective development. The ridge is expected to shift east by Sunday and Monday, resulting in the development of deep southerly flow, increasing moisture (PWATs exceeding 1.5 inches), and a renewed chance of thunderstorms. Temperatures are expected to gradually rise through the week, reaching well into the 80s by the weekend. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1243 PM CDT Mon May 31 2021 Look for isolated to scattered shower and storms to push across the area this afternoon and early evening as an upper level trough and weak cold front swing across the region, ending northwest to southeast by around 03z. The strongest storms could produce hail and surface wind gusts over 40 knots. Outside of the convection, VFR conditions are expected into the evening. Skies will at least partially clear out behind the trough/front, with some ground fog expected to develop in the late evening and overnight hours. Decided to go with some prevailing groups for IFR/MVFR VSBYs, but some LIFR/VLIFR maybe be needed in the 08-12z timeframe. The fog will burn off early Tuesday morning. Then, good flying weather are expected the rest of Tuesday with only some late morning and afternoon cumulus clouds. A stray shower cannot be ruled out over central or eastern WI in the afternoon along a lake breeze and remnant outflow boundary but VFR conditions are expected to prevail. Winds will be southwest today, with a few gusts of 10-20 kts, then winds become light and variable tonight into Tuesday morning. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
