Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
250 PM CDT Tue Aug 22 2023

Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Wednesday
Issued at 250 PM CDT Tue Aug 22 2023

The latest RAP analysis and satellite/radar imagery show elevated
showers and thunderstorms slowly exiting northeast Wisconsin
early this afternoon. Meanwhile, temperatures have been slow to
rise over many parts of northeast Wisconsin in part due to
southeast winds, ample cloud cover, and positioned northeast of a
warm front. This warm front was roughly located north of
Minneapolis to the Wisconsin Dells to Madison at 19z. As this
warm front surges northward, thunderstorm chances and excessive
heat are the main forecast concerns through Wednesday.

Tonight...The warm front will progress northeast and into far
northern and northeast WI by 7 am Wednesday. Like last night, a
40+ kt low level jet is expected to develop and initiate
convection, this time over the central Upper Peninsula from late
evening into the overnight. Cloud layer flow will remain out of
the northwest which would track any storms over far northern Door
county. Small hail and locally heavy rain will be possible. The
rest of the region should see mostly clear to partly cloudy skies
and warmer conditions. Lows ranging from near 60 degrees in the
northwoods to around 70 at Marshfield and Wisconsin Rapids.

Wednesday...The warm front will stall over far northern Wisconsin
for much of the day, placing the majority of the region in the
warm sector. Under mostly clear skies, should have ample sunshine
for very warm temps to occur before winds shift to the north late
in the afternoon. Taking an average of 925mb temps puts highs in
the mid to upper 90s over central and east-central WI. Combined
with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s, heat indices of 100 too 110
look likely. Forecast highs have increased a degree or two in this
forecast cycle, so will expand the excessive heat warning and
heat advisory. The expiration time is not ideal, but matches
neighboring offices headlines, and it can be canceled early.

.LONG TERM...Wednesday Night Through Tuesday
Issued at 250 PM CDT Tue Aug 22 2023

Warm and humid weather is likely Wednesday night as
dewpoints remain in the 60s. Thursday will not be as hot as
Wednesday, but will still be warm and humid over all but the
north despite a northeast wind.

An upper trough and surface cold front will move across the area
Friday and bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms. There may
be enough instability to get some strong or severe storms in the
north where directional and speed shear are maximized.

Cooler and drier weather will return for Saturday and Sunday as a
large surface high moves in from central Canada. There may be
enough of a northeast wind Saturday for small craft advisory
conditions on the lake and bay.

.AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1228 PM CDT Tue Aug 22 2023

Scattered showers and maybe a a storm or two will continue to
slowly move northeast over far northeast Wisconsin early this
afternoon before exiting. Additional storms are expected to fire
over the Upper Peninsula which will slide southeast and could
impact the northern Door Peninsula late tonight.

Otherwise, as a warm front surges northeast across the area, MVFR
and low end VFR ceilings will gradually retreat northward.
Clearing skies will occur tonight, except for parts of far
northeast Wisconsin. Low level wind shear will likely impact
central WI late tonight into early Thursday morning.

Southeast winds today will become south on Thursday morning with
some gustiness up to 20 kts possible.

...LOCALLY DENSE FOG REPORTED IN NORTHCENTRAL WISCONSIN...

While highly unusual for the afternoon hours at this time of the
year, some dense fog has been reported between Antigo and Niagara
in Langlade, Forest and Florence counties. The fog is probably the
result of result rain, cloudy skies and moisture moving into that
area from the southeast. Watch out for fog on highway 32 in the
area around Wabeno. It should dissipate before evening.
