Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 254 PM CDT Sun Jun 8 2025 Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Scattered thunderstorms are still possible for the remainder of the afternoon and early this evening. Some of the stronger storms could produce small hail and gusty winds. - A few thunderstorms are possible on Monday afternoon. Severe storms are not expected, however any shower or storm could produce small hail. - Long range guidance suggests the next rainy period will be at the end of the work week into next weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 254 PM CDT Sun Jun 8 2025 Short Term...Tonight and Monday The band of rain is shifting east out of the area early this afternoon. Meanwhile, daytime heating has triggered scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop across portions of central and north-central WI with a few showers across Florence County. Temperatures ranged from the middle 50s to lower 60s over far eastern Wisconsin to near 70 across central WI. Latest analysis indicated mixed layer CAPE values of 200 to 400 J/KG along with little CIN. The combination of daytime heating and the instability has resulted in scattered showers and a few thunderstorms developing across Marathon and Wood counties. Low wet bulb heights and strengthening winds will result in the stronger storms produce gusty winds to 35 mph and small hail. The activity is expected to end around or just after sunset. Meanwhile, an upper low will move across the area on Monday, bringing another round of showers and scattered thunderstorms. Low wet bulb heights of six to seven thousand feet will result in some of the showers and storms producing small hail. It will be cool with highs in the upper 50s and 60s. Widespread rainfall amounts of a tenth to four tenths of can be expected with locally higher amounts. Long Term...Monday Night Through Sunday Forecast focuses on a warm and active regime through the end of the week, with several accompanying chances for rain and storms. Period of greatest concern currently looks to be Wednesday afternoon through Friday, during which a prolonged period of active weather looks to fire off along a stationary boundary. Warm front begins to take shape over South Dakota early on Wednesday, eventually drifting north into central Wisconsin by Wednesday afternoon before stalling out on Thursday. This will begin to cause some issues over central and east-central Wisconsin starting Wednesday afternoon, namely as instability builds along the front and on the nose of a corridor of deep Gulf moisture. Scattered showers and storms are thus expected to develop during this time, although storm coverage and intensity are still up in the air. This being said, CSU ML severe hazards algorithm paints a broad swath of 5 to 15% probs across the upper Midwest, which warrants watching. This leads straight into concerns for an excessive rainfall setup Wednesday evening into Thursday as PWATs max out near 2 inches. Models don't quite have a handle on how this scenario will play out as of yet, as excessive rain potential will hinge on placement of the stationary front which is wont to change with ongoing convection. Would also prefer to see weaker mean flow to allow for more residence time of heaviest rainfall out of favorable warm cloud layer, so will continue to monitor in the coming days. Overall, a more northerly solution would produce a more pessimistic outcome for northeast Wisconsin. As it stands right now, WPC puts us in a marginal risk for excessive rainfall on days four and five. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1158 AM CDT Sun Jun 8 2025 A band of showers was moving across northeast Wisconsin during the morning. The band should exit east of KMTW around 19z. Some patchy MVFR CIGS are possible for an hour or two behind the front across far northeast WI. Later this afternoon, fair weather cumulus was quickly developing. Meso models indicating scattered showers and storms redeveloping during the mid to late afternoon and continuing into the afternoon. Any activity should end around 02z. Meanwhile, an upper low dropping southeast into the area late tonight and Monday will bring showers and scattered thunderstorms. Some of the showers and storms could produce small hail. Otherwise, west to southwest winds will gusts to 20 to 25 knots this afternoon behind the front. The winds will diminish around sunset. Gusty winds return on Monday. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && DISCUSSION.....Eckberg/Goodin AVIATION.......Eckberg
