Area forecast discussion, Jul 31, 4:15 AM CDT, 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 415 AM CDT Sun Jul 31 2022 Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 407 AM CDT Sun Jul 31 2022 Still warm and dry today, then a round of showers and thunderstorms tonight into early Monday. It still looks very warm and humid at times next week, though there will probably be at least a couple somewhat cooler and drier days as well. A seasonably strong band of westerlies with low to at times modest amplitude will persist across North America throughout the period. The main change during the period will be for the subtropical ridge expand northward--forcing the westerlies primarily into Canada by next weekend. This is a little different than what the models were showing several days ago. The earlier runs favored a more consolidated anticyclone within the subtropical ridge, with stronger ridging extending northward into high latitudes resulting in a little more large-scale amplitude to the westerlies. If the new pattern is what verifies (we don't flip back to a forecast of some other pattern tomorrow), it would keep frontal systems progressing across the northern CONUS throughout the period and result in more of a rollercoastering of temperatures rather than a prolonged period of hot and humid weather. It would still be very warm and humid mid-week and again next weekend, but there would also be days with temperatures running closer to normal and with a little less humidity early and late in the work week. The large scale pattern will not be as unfavorable for precipitation as the one in place the past several days, and should support at least a couple rounds of scattered showers and thunderstorms. But it doesn't look really wet, either, so the 7-day precipitation will probably still be AOB normal. && .SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Monday Issued at 407 AM CDT Sun Jul 31 2022 A somewhat complex mid-level trough will shift east from the Northern Plains today, across the area tonight, and off to the east on Monday. A cyclone attendant to the trough will track across southern Canada, with a trailing cold front crossing the forecast area late tonight. The setup looks favorable for thunderstorms (some likely severe) to develop near the front across MN this afternoon and then push east into the area tonight. However, the severe threat in the forecast area won't be as great as out to the west. First off, the arrival of storms in the forecast area will be after peak heating, when the boundary layer has already begun to cool off. Secondly, mixing into dry air aloft today is likely to offset most or all of the advection of higher dew points into the area on southwest winds. That effect will be lost tonight, but the result will be a situation where getting the increase in moisture to support convection will likely need to occur due to advection immediately preceding the storms. In addition, the 850 mb flow isn't forecast to be particularly focused, strong, or convergent. So the storms will probably already be weakening when they reach the area, and continue to do so as they push across. The could still produce gusty winds, and a couple storms with severe gusts will be possible, mainly across the west early tonight. A secondary piece or two of energy digging down the back side of the trough may cause the precipitation to linger in the east into Monday. Limited PoPs to the morning for now, but would not be surprised if isolated showers continued to develop into the afternoon and low PoPs may eventually be needed throughout the day. .LONG TERM...Monday Night Through Saturday Issued at 407 AM CDT Sun Jul 31 2022 More consistency among the medium range models today through the midweek, with more variance by the weekend. Forecast will generally oscillate between quiet days with near normal temperatures, and warmer days with chances for showers and thunderstorms. Monday night...High pressure will slide across the area Monday night leading to clear skies, light winds, and some cooler temps, especially across the north where some 40s are possible. Patchy fog development is also possible from about midnight until a little after sunrise on Tuesday. Tuesday and Tuesday night...After high pressure slides east Tuesday, will start to get return flow and low level warm advection, which could set off a few showers or storms Tuesday afternoon and early evening. There is a better chance for storms late Tuesday evening and overnight as additional forcing arrives from the surface warm front moving across from southwest to northeast, and a mid-level shortwave. While timing is not ideal, there is enough instability and shear to possibly produce a few strong to severe storms, along with heavy rain as pwats rise to 1.75 to 2.00 inches. Wednesday...After the surface warm front passes through expect a noticeable rise in humidity with Tds reaching the middle 60s to low 70s. How high air temps get will come down to if and when overnight clouds fully clear, and the timing of a cold front. If the front comes through earlier in the day will not get as hot as originally thought. Currently have Wednesday high temps ranging from the middle 80s to low 90s. Cold front will move across the area sometime midday Wednesday, once again bringing and chance of showers and thunderstorms. Some strong to severe storms may be possible, especially across the east where the front is more likely to pass through during peak heating. Wednesday night through Saturday...After this cold front/upper trough exit by late Wednesday, models are now indicated mainly dry weather for the rest of the work with with high pressure at the surface and a broad upper ridge keeping the main jet energy and accompanying shortwaves well north of the state. By Saturday, differences arise. Another frontal system could impact the region with a few rounds of showers and storms possible. Low confidence at this point so have slight chance PoPs for Saturday. && .AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance Issued at 407 AM CDT Sun Jul 31 2022 The main aviation weather concern will be the showers and thunderstorms expected tonight. They will be weakening by the time they reach the area, but could still produce gusty winds. Marginal LLWS conditions will shift east across the area overnight. Otherwise, some diurnal convective cloudiness is possible again today, but bases will be high enough to maintain VFR conditions. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
