Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 415 AM CDT Wed Jun 15 2022 Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Thursday Issued at 414 AM CDT Wed Jun 15 2022 A low level jet was producing scattered thunderstorms across central Wisconsin at 09 UTC. They should move into north central Wisconsin and diminish after daybreak. A line of strong to severe storms is likely later today as the right entrance region of a 80 knot 500mb jet and surface cold front approach from the west. Skies will start out cloudy across the western two thirds of the forecast area this morning, but expect it to become partly sunny once the leftover convective clouds exit. Very warm air aloft will have no trouble mixing down across the eastern half of the area. Expect high temperatures around 90F and dewpoints in the low 70s in east central Wisconsin, which will result in heat indices in the middle to upper 90s. A lot of the ingredients for severe storms and possible flash flooding are forecast to be in place later this afternoon into the evening hours. Winds aloft are unusually strong for this time of the year, and precipitable water values are in the 99th percentile. CAPE values of 2000 to 3000 J/KG and steep mid level lapse rates are forecast during the late afternoon and evening. Think that damaging winds and local flash flooding are the main threats, but large hail and isolated tornadoes are a threat as well. The storms will exit the area by late evening, with clearing overnight. A strong pressure gradient is forecast across the area Thursday, with 850mb winds forecast to be two or three standard deviations above normal. Surface wind gusts to 40 mph or more are likely over land areas, with gale force gusts possible over the nearshore waters. Highs will be five to ten degrees above normal but with lower relative humidity. .LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Tuesday Issued at 414 AM CDT Wed Jun 15 2022 A quiet start to the long term forecast with seasonable temperatures. Occasional chances for showers and thunderstorms Sunday and through next week, with temperatures rising into the 90s again early next week. Thursday night through Saturday...Upper ridge builds across the central CONUS while surface high pressure slides from central Canada through the western Great Lakes. This will result in dry weather with northwest flow ushering in a cooler airmass for a few days. Temperatures will still be near seasonal normals with lows mainly in the 50s and highs in the mid 70s to low 80s (away from Lake Michigan). Saturday night through Wednesday...Upper ridge axis approaches WI and flow backs to the southwest late Saturday/early Sunday. Isentropic lift could produce some showers and a few claps of thunder Saturday night into midday Sunday when this occurs. There is very little instability, so at the moment light rain showers look like the main precip. Southwest flow will then bring in warmer and more humid air early next week, with highs Monday and Tuesday in the upper 80s and low 90s. Even lakeshore locations will likely see readings in the 80s. Most of Mon/Tue looks dry, but weak shortwaves riding the ridge could produce a few scattered showers or thunderstorms at times. Upper ridge breaks down late Tuesday into early Wednesday which will also allow a surface cold front to move across this state. This feature could produce some showers and thunderstorms. Following the frontal passage, upper flow becomes zonal and temps and dew points cool a few degrees on Wednesday. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1024 PM CDT Tue Jun 14 2022 LLWS will gradually abate overnight as the 850mb flow veers and weakens. Otherwise, the timing and strength of convection is the main aviation forecast issue. Showers and storms developing NE out of IA may push through the western part of the area late tonight/early Wednesday. Another round of stronger storms is likely Wednesday afternoon and evening, perhaps arriving a little slower than previously anticipated. Will adjust timing in the TAFs accordingly. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM.....RDM LONG TERM......KLJ AVIATION.......Skowronski
