Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 6:18 PM CDT, 1 hour 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 618 PM CDT Tue Jun 8 2021 Updated aviation portion for 00Z TAF issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Wednesday Issued at 356 PM CDT Tue Jun 8 2021 Scattered thunderstorms are possible this afternoon through early evening along the Lake Michigan and lake Winnebago boundaries. Thunderstorms are also expected ahead of a weak cold front over northcentral Wisconsin late this afternoon. They should move south before dissipating tonight. Winds aloft are very light, so any thunderstorms could produce very heavy rain. Gusty surface winds and possibly small hail could accompany the strongest storms. Lows tonight will be about 10 degrees above normal. Slightly cooler and drier air will arrive Wednesday behind the weak cold front, but high temperatures will still be well above normal. Scattered thunderstorms are possible across central and northcentral Wisconsin in the afternoon. .LONG TERM...Wednesday Night Through Tuesday Issued at 356 PM CDT Tue Jun 8 2021 The main highlights from this forecast period are the continued above normal temperatures through the weekend, followed by the potential for a cool down early next week. Until that cool down, sporadic chances for showers and storms are expected with a more significant chance late Friday night through Saturday. Wednesday night through Thursday night...Lingering showers and storms across north-central WI will come to an end by late Wednesday evening. Look for another humid night for Wednesday with low temperatures well above normal in the 60s. An upper-level ridge, with light winds aloft, will remain overhead into Thursday. This will keep the warm, moist air in place. A surface boundary or some sort of convergence from lake breezes appears to produce isolated showers and storms in Upper MI late Thursday afternoon, which slowly creeps south into north-central and far northeast WI Thursday evening/night. In addition, a mid-level shortwave will slide southeast over eastern Lake Superior/eastern Upper MI, which will add to the shower and storm potential Thursday night. Do not anticipate severe weather with these storms due to the weak bulk shear. However, heavy downpours would be possible due to the slow movement of any storms from the weak winds aloft. High temperatures for Thursday will remain above normal with values ranging from the middle 80s to lower 90s away from the lake, and upper 70s to lower 80s along the lake. Another mild and humid night is anticipated for Thursday night as well with temps in the 60s. Rest of the extended...While the boundary shifts slightly north into Friday morning, the upper-level ridge will build right overhead. This should keep most of Friday dry before a mid-level shortwave and surface cold front moves into the western portions of the forecast area Friday evening. The shortwave and cold front will slowly slide southeast across the forecast area into Saturday evening. Showers and storms are expected during this time, however, do not anticipate severe weather occurring since bulk shear still doesn't look to support severe storms, but the potential for heavy downpours will remain possible. Beyond Saturday, the upper-level ridge breaks down to a zonal flow Saturday night, then transitions to a northwest flow on Sunday, which looks to continue through early next week. This northwest flow will bring "cooler" and drier air to the forecast area. High temperatures early next week look to drop back to the upper 70s to middle 80s. && .AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance Issued at 615 PM CDT Tue Jun 8 2021 Thunderstorms over northern WI will drift south and dissipate this evening. They may make it as far south as AUW. Otherwise, expect patchy fog to develop late tonight, with the most extensive vsby restrictions expected near Lake Michigan. After the fog mixes out early Wednesday, SCT diurnal cumulus should develop again. There could be an isolated shower or storm over north central or central WI later in the afternoon, but these are more likely to occur west of our TAF sites. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
