Area forecast discussion, Sep 14, 10:44 PM CDT, 5 hours 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1044 PM CDT Wed Sep 14 2022 Updated aviation portion for 06Z TAF issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Thursday Issued at 226 PM CDT Wed Sep 14 2022 Canadian high pressure, east flow and filtered sunshine (from smoke aloft) resulted in cooler temperatures in the 60s and lower 70s this afternoon. Some patches of stratocumulus were still present in northern and east central WI, but most of the forecast area had clear skies. The thin veil of smoke aloft will cover the forecast area through Thursday, but will have little or no impact at the surface. Sky cover will be a bit tricky tonight, with a gradual increase in high clouds expected, and potential for some stratus over parts of central WI late tonight into early Thursday. Low temperatures should be in the middle 40s to middle 50s. We should see partly to mostly sunny skies on Thursday, which will combine with WAA on gusty south winds to boost temperatures into the middle to upper 70s inland, and lower 70s lakeside. Precipitation chances are minimal, though WAA on the nose of a 35-40 knot LLJ may trigger a few showers over far north central WI Thursday morning/early afternoon. .LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Wednesday Issued at 226 PM CDT Wed Sep 14 2022 Forecast concerns: Timing precip chances and severe weather potential through the weekend. Thursday night through Friday night...With a warm front located over far northwest Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula, northeast Wisconsin will be in the warm sector on Thursday night. Dry weather will likely continue since low pressure will remain well west of the region over the eastern Dakotas and Minnesota. Temps will therefore remain mild in the upper 50s to middle 60s. The low pressure system will move into the northern Mississippi Valley on Friday and northwest Wisconsin on Friday night. Some instability will surge ahead of the low and into northwest Wisconsin though magnitude looks rather meager (up to 500 j/kg). Mean layer wind fields look decent at 35 kts, but considering the late arrival of the front and poor instability, the severe threat looks rather low. But precip chances will gradually increase from northwest to southeast through the Friday-Friday night period. Chances appear highest during Friday night with the approaching front and shortwave impulse, the moisture transport and instability axis. Rest of the forecast...The cold front will stall over northwest Wisconsin on Saturday and slowly sag southeast on Sunday as the upper flow becomes parallel to the boundary. Models indicate shortwave impulses will be traversing the region within this southwest flow aloft that will lead to shower and storm threat at times. Unfortunately, because these shortwaves are low amplitude, resolving timing is a relatively difficult proposition. Best bet is for Saturday night into Sunday for the highest chance of precip. It's too early to determine the severe threat as some guidance points towards an increase of instability on Sunday, but ultimately depends on the finer scale details. Another front could provide a shower/storm threat during the next Tuesday-Wednesday time frame. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1044 PM CDT Wed Sep 14 2022 VFR conditions are generally expected through Thursday. Middle and high clouds will move across the area at times, and some low clouds could from across Central Wisconsin late tonight or early Thursday and move northeast, but confidence is low. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && SHORT TERM.....Kieckbusch LONG TERM......MPC AVIATION.......RDM
