Area forecast discussion, Aug 8, 12:07 AM CDT, 3 hours 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1207 AM CDT Mon Aug 8 2022 Updated aviation portion for 06Z TAF issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Monday Issued at 211 PM CDT Sun Aug 7 2022 Except for a break in the clouds across far north-central Wisconsin, skies were cloudy across the region. Isolated showers were noted across portions of central and east-central Wisconsin. Temperatures were in the middle 60s to lower 70s. For tonight, the main focus will be on the potential for another round of heavy rain. At 19z, the surface boundary finally pushed through Wautoma and was now completely south of the forecast area. An upper level disturbance will move towards the area this evening, with 850mb warm advection/isentropic lift increasing during the evening. Isolated showers and thunderstorms should become more numerous along and north of the surface boundary. At this time, the greatest risk of heavy rain that could cause flooding will occur where the heavy rain fell last night into this morning. The current location and timing of the Flood Watch looks reasonable with no changes to location/timing of the watch. Later this evening into early Monday morning, low pressure will pass south of the area. An upper level disturbance will move across northern Wisconsin, plus the enhanced lift from the right entrance region of a 300mb jet streak will focus the heavier rains to north-central and far northeast Wisconsin. Some locations across the north could also see over an inch of rain. The showers and storms will exit the region Monday morning. Clouds will be on the decrease during the late morning and afternoon. It will be cool with highs in the upper 60s to middle 70s. .LONG TERM...Monday Night Through Sunday Issued at 211 PM CDT Sun Aug 7 2022 Upper-level flow regime over the northern CONUS will evolve from weak zonal to strengthening northwest flow as notable upper ridge is expected to build across the western High Plains into southern Canada by mid-week. Thus, generally benign weather expected through much of the extended forecast with below normal precipitation and with seasonal temperatures for early July. Relief from the high humidity and locally excessive rainfall will be in full swing on Monday night as high pressure builds into the western Great Lakes. The combination of clearing skies, cooler temperatures, light boundary layer winds and moist soils from recent rainfall, will favor increased radiation fog potential late Monday night into Tuesday morning. If fog develops, it may impact the Tuesday morning commute. Tuesday looks to be a nice mostly sunny summer day with highs around 80 and light southwest winds, except along the Lake Michigan shoreline where a weak lake breeze may develop during the afternoon, keeping temperatures mainly in the 70-75 degree range. On Wednesday, an increasing west-southerly flow will allow temperatures to rebound back into the 80 to 85 degree range. By late in the afternoon, a weak frontal boundary is forecast to drop southward and be orientated W-E somewhere across northcentral Wisconsin by 21Z. Medium range guidance is also suggesting some potential for some upper-level support associated with the LFQ of an upper-level jet as well as some modest instability with mean MUCAPES around 500 J/Kg or so just ahead of the front. However, uncertainty lies in the exact location of the upper-level jet core which will likely be modulated by how the upper-level ridging evolves upstream. Did notice that the latest NBM cycle has responded to this possibility by increasing low-end POPs slightly across the northeast third of the forecast area during the afternoon. Will keep the forecast dry for Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday evening for now, but would not be surprised to see a few isolated showers/storms near the boundary. High pressure will once again settle over the western Great Lakes for the remainder of the work week as the northwest upper-level flow pattern persists. Average daytime temperatures should remain near seasonal normals. By the start of the weekend, some weak signals in extended guidance of a shortwave impulse diving southeast around the northern periphery of upstream ridge that could bring some precipitation in the area. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1206 AM CDT Mon Aug 8 2022 IFR flight conditions are expected as an area of low pressure moves northeast along a stalled frontal boundary and brings showers and some thunderstorms late tonight through early Monday. The activity will diminish from northwest to southeast Monday morning with VFR conditions returning in the afternoon. CLearing skies are likely Monday night, with dense ground fog possible late Monday night through 13z or 14z Tuesday. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 211 PM CDT Sun Aug 7 2022 Showers and thunderstorms brought a wide swath of 1 to 4 inches with locally higher amounts over 5 inches to portions of central and east-central Wisconsin last night into early this morning. With another 1 to 3 inches of rain expected tonight, the Flood Watch remains in effect through Monday morning. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flood Watch until noon CDT today for WIZ035>040-045-048>050. && SHORT TERM.....Eckberg LONG TERM......ESB AVIATION.......RDM HYDROLOGY......Eckberg
