AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
415 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2005

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED IN
WESTERN/SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN LATE THIS MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON AND
INTENSIFIED IN UNSTABLE AIR ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THESE STORMS
PRODUCED SOME SEVERE WEATHER AS THEY MOVED THROUGH CENTRAL AND NORTH-
CENTRAL WISCONSIN AND CONTINUED TO MOVE NORTHEAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
MORE STORMS DEVELOPED BEHIND THE MAIN LINE AND THERE WAS ALSO SOME
DEVELOPMENT IN EASTERN WI NEAR THE LAKE BREEZE FRONT. HAVE MENTIONED
HAIL AND STRONG/DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FA TONIGHT WITH THE
STRONGER STORMS.

CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ON SATURDAY WILL BE DEPENDENT ON AMOUNT OF
SUNSHINE. BY EVENING THE FA IS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION OF THE UPPER JET SO I LEFT A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY. MAIN CONCERN IN THE
LONG TERM IS WHEN DRY WEATHER WILL RETURN. THE SOUTHERN PART OF A NEARLY
STATIONARY FRONT THAT WAS NORTH OF WISCONSIN THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE
INTO WI NEXT WEEK AS A COLD FRONT. AN OCCLUSION WILL DEVELOP AS A LOW
ENTERS THE STATE AND TRAVELS SOUTHEAST. CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS UNTIL THE SYSTEM FINALLY GETS FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM
THE AREA ON THURSDAY.

ABREVIATED AFD DUE TO ONGOING STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS.

.GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
