Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 3:00 PM CST, 2 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI 400 PM CDT SUN JUN 10 2007 ...CORRECTED SHORT TERM... .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND MONDAY. POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT IS THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM. A SHORT WAVE THAT PASSED THROUGH THE REGION BROUGHT SOME LIGHT RAIN TO THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT/EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS SHORT WAVE MOVED EAST AND TOOK THE SHOWERS ALONG WITH IT...LEAVING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THE REST OF THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. THE AREA REMAINED IN SOUTHERLY FLOW...BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE TO THE EAST AND A LOW OVER THE PLAINS... THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AN EAST-WEST FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO MOVED LITTLE. MODELS FORECAST AN UPPER RIDGE TO BUILD OVER THE REGION TONIGHT AND MONDAY. 09Z SREF HAD QPF IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN DURING THE AFTERNOON TODAY BUT NOTHING AFTER 00Z...SO FAR NOTHING HAD DEVELOPED AS OF 1930Z. NAM AND GFS HAD QPF IN UPPER MICHIGAN AND EXTREME NORTHERN WI THIS AFTERNOON. BOTH FORECAST QPF BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z. NAM FORECAST CAPE WAS BETWEEN 1000 AND 1500 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON...SIMILAR TO ACTUAL 18Z MUCAPE FROM LOCAL MESOANALYSIS GRAPHIC. /BUT NAM HAD CIN OF 40 J/KG OR LESS WHILE THE GRAPHIC WAS SHOWING 100 TO 400 J/KG OF CIN./ CORRECTED...GRAPHIC HAD A BAD OBSERVATION...NEXT VERSION ONLY HAD 5 J/KG CIN. SOME CU FINALLY DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW CELLS IN CENTRAL/NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN APPEARED TO BE MORE DEVELOPED THAN THE REST...BUT SO FAR NO RADAR RETURNS IN THAT AREA. HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE NORTH DURING THE EVENING... THEN DRY AFTER 06Z. MONDAY SHOULD BE DRY WITH NONE OF THE MODELS PRODUCING QPF...AT LEAST NONE THAT I NOTICED. WENT WITH WARMER HIGH TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY DUE TO CONTINUED SOUTHERLY FLOW. .LONG TERM...MONDAY NITE THRU NEXT SUNDAY. FORECAST FOCUS ON PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND TEMPERATURES. THE MODELS ARE FAIRLY DRY FOR THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE FENDS OFF A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. LATER IN THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND THE GFS/DGEX/MREF ENSEMBLES GENERATE SOME PRECIP MAINLY DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS AS A FEW WEAK IMPULSES RAM INTO THE RIDGE. HOWEVER THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN MODELS INDICATE A DRIER FORECAST WITH A RIDGE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND ENOUGH SUBSIDENCE TO SUPRESS SHOWER ACTIVITY DURING THIS PERIOD. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE HIGH WILL KEEP THE EXTENDED DRY FOR NOW. WILL ALSO GO SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE GUIDANCE AND LEAN TOWARDS THE HPC NUMBERS GIVEN THE WARM RIDGE IN PLACE AS 1000-500 MB THICKNESS HEIGHTS RISE ABOVE 570 DAM BY WEDNESDAY. .AVIATION...THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH 06Z IN THE AUW/CWA AND RHI AREAS...OTHERWISE CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN VFR WITH SCATTERED CU AROUND THROUGH EARLY EVENING. ONCE CU FALLS APART...ONLY SOME MID/HIGH CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && KURIMSKI/MG WEATHER.GOV/GREENBAY
