Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 610 AM CDT Tue Aug 27 2024 Updated aviation portion for 12Z TAF issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening. Damaging winds and large hail are the primary threat. - Very warm and humid weather will continue in east central and far northeast Wisconsin this afternoon. Heat indices could reach the middle 90s in the Fox Valley. - Rain and thunderstorm are possible late Thursday into Friday. Probabilities of getting at least 1 inch of rain range from 20- 50%. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 441 AM CDT Tue Aug 27 2024 Short Term...Today...Tonight...and Wednesday A mesoscale convective complex moved across the area during the evening hours producing wind gusts of 35 to 60 mph. This resulted in some tree and power line damage. Another area of thunderstorms is likely later today as a cold front moves across the region. Very warm and humid air should create sufficient instability for some strong or severe storms during the afternoon and early evening. Damaging winds and large hail are the main threats. It will be very warm and humid again this afternoon in east central and far northeast Wisconsin. Heat indices in the middle 90s are likely in the Fox Valley. The showers and thunderstorms should end tonight as a cold front drops south across Wisconsin. Cooler air and lower dewpoints are expected Wednesday behind the front. Long Term...Wednesday Night Through Monday The extended period will feature warming temperatures towards the end of the week along with another round of widespread rainfall and possible storms Thursday. Wednesday night through Thursday...Return flow will start up Wednesday night, bringing back weak warm air advection for the mid-levels overnight through Thursday morning. As a result, high temperatures will be warmer Thursday than they were on Wednesday, with high temperatures back into the upper 70s to lower 80s. A shortwave and accompanying cold front then approach the region Thursday afternoon and evening, bringing a round of widespread rainfall and thunder. Instability parameters ahead of this system do show some decent surface-based CAPE, but this may remain unrealized as modest capping will also be present, especially further east. Shear during this time also remains modest, around 15 to 25 knots. Put together, severe weather potential remains unclear. Even if severe weather remains absent with this event, heavy rainfall seems likely as PWATs push to around 2 inches during this time period. IF surface temperatures forecasts for Thursday start showing a warming trend and/or the warm layer aloft begins to look weaker, then some isolated stronger or severe storms may yet be added to the forecast in future updates for Thursday. Rest of the forecast...More zonal flow returns to the forecast for the end of the work week into the weekend, which will make for a couple dry days Friday and Saturday. Temperatures during these two days will remain fairly similar, with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Another fast moving shortwave could bring a brief chance for precipitation again Saturday night, but overall this should be less widespread than the Thursday system. More broad high pressure follows for early next week, which will make for another several day period of dry weather. && .AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance Issued at 610 AM CDT Tue Aug 27 2024 While scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible today, a more organized area of strong thunderstorms is expected during the late afternoon and early evening as a cold front moves south across the area. Mostly VFR conditions are expected outside of any convective activity. IFR conditions are expected tonight as cooler air moves into the humid air across northern and central Wisconsin and creates low clouds and fog. Conditions below minimums are possible at some airports. Flight conditions should improve to MVFR by midday Wednesday as drier air arrives from the northeast. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && DISCUSSION.....RDM/Uhlmann AVIATION.......RDM
