Hail and Damaging Winds in Wisconsin, July 17, 2006

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
415 AM CDT MON JUL 17 2006

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...MAIN FCST CONCERN IS THREAT OF
SEVERE TSTMS TODAY.

MSAS ANALYSIS SHOWED A COLD FRONT MOVG THROUGH MN EARLY THIS MORNING...
REASONABLY CLOSE TO THE POSN SHOWN ON THE FCST MODELS. OUT AHEAD OF THIS
BOUNDARY...A WIDESPREAD AREA OF ACCAS CLOUDS WERE NOTED...WITH SCT
WEAK ELEVATED CONVECTION NOTED ACROSS THE RGN. ISOLD STG/SVR TSTMS HAD
DEVELOPED JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE MN ARROWHEAD.

THE FRONT IS FCST TO MOVE SE ACROSS GRB CWA DURING THE LATE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON HOURS...AND SHD BE JUST SOUTH OF THE FA BY 00Z/TUES. THE
DEGREE OF HEATING AHEAD OF THE FRONT IS SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION DUE TO THE
IMPACTS OF WIDESPREAD MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS...BUT IT APPEARS THAT MOST
PLACES SHOULD GET INTO THE MID 80 TO LOWER 90S THIS AFTERNOON. WITH
MOISTURE POOLING IN ADVANCE OF THE BOUNDARY...DEW POINTS WILL LIKELY AT
LEAST BE IN THE LOWER 70S. MODIFIED SOUNDINGS FOR EAST CENTRAL WI THIS
AFTERNOON SHOW CAPE RISING TO 3000-4000 J/KG...WITH LITTLE OR NO CAP
NEAR THE FRONT. GIVEN THE STG INSTABILITY AND INCREASING 0-6 KM SHEAR
DURING THE DAY...EXPECT SVR TSTMS TO DEVELOP SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM
MARINETTE TO WISCONSIN RAPIDS DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. DCAPE
AND WINDEX VALUES ARE HIGH...SO DAMAGING WINDS ARE A BIG CONCERN. EVEN
THOUGH WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS ARE VERY HIGH...VERY LARGE HAIL MAY STILL
OCCUR WITH SUPERCELLS...AS EVIDENCED BY STORMS OVER THE MN ARROWHEAD AND
UPPER PENINSULA OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS.

WILL LINGER A SMALL CHC OF TSTMS IN EC WI EARLY THIS EVG...THEN DRY WX
WILL TAKE HOLD FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT AND TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE RGN. USED A BLEND OF GUIDANCE TEMPS THROUGH TUESDAY.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NITE THRU SUNDAY. FORECAST FOCUS ON PRECIP CHANCES
AND SEVERE POTENTIAL WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NITE.

THE MODELS HAVE SLOWED THE FROPA DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK ABOUT 6
HOURS WITH NO PRECIP ACROSS THE CWA AFTER MIDNIGHT TUESDAY NITE.
THEREFORE WILL REMOVE ALL MENTION OF PRECIP IN THE CWA TUESDAY NITE. THE
FRONT WILL MAKES ITS WAY INTO MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY MORNING THEN INTO
WESTERN WISCONSIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE LATER TIMING OF THE FRONT
WILL MEAN INSTABILITY WILL BUILD UP WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE
WEATHER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN CWA. INSTABILITY
VALUES RANGE FROM 1K TO 2K J/KG OF CAPE WITH AROUND 300 HELICITIES. THE
MAIN LIMITING FACTOR WILL BE CINS OF 100 J/KG OR MORE...HOWEVER THE
PRESENCE OF THE FRONT WILL AID IN OVERCOMING THAT.

THE SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES INTO WEDNESDAY NITE AS THE FRONT MOVES THRU
THE STATE WITH ABUNDANT QPF ASSOCIATED WITH IT. ALTHOUGH THE MODELS
DISAGREE ON THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THE HIGHEST PRECIP VALUES THE DO
BRING SOME IMPRESSIVE VALUES THRU DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CWA. THE
INSTABILITY VALUES REMAIN EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE WEDNESDAY NITE WITH A
CONTINUED THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS INTO THE AREA ENDING THE PRECIP FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH ON THURSDAY WITH DRY WEATHER THRU FRIDAY NITE. THE MODELS THEN
BRING ANOTHER SYSTEM THRU SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. GIVEN THE SUPRISING
AGREEMENT THIS FAR OUT WILL LEAVE THESE PERIODS ALONE.
