AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
407 AM CDT WED JUL 16 2008

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MAIN FCST CONCERNS ARE PCPN
TRENDS...AND POTENTIAL FOR SVR TSTMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY
RAINFALL TONIGHT.

SFC ANALYSIS SHOWED A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDING FROM A WEAK SFC
LOW IN CNTRL SD EASTWARD INTO S MN AND CNTRL WI. ISOLD/SCT TSTMS
WERE DEVELOPING FROM ND INTO CNTRL MN...AS ISENT LIFT INCREASED
N OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THE FLOW ALOFT WAS ZONAL...WITH SEVERAL
JET STREAKS MOVG ALONG THE U.S./CANADIAN BORDER. A POTENT S/W TROF
AND UPPER DIVG ASSOC WITH A COUPLED UPPER JET WERE COMBINING TO
PRODUCE TSTMS OVER S SASK.

00Z NAM SEEMED TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE ON THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES
AND PCPN AREAS AT 06Z...SO HAVE FOLLOWED IT FOR THE DETAILS OF THE
FCST. THE NAM ALSO CORRECTLY PICKED UP ON THE INCREASING CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY TO OUR WEST EARLY THIS MORNING. ALTHOUGH SOME OF THIS
CONVECTION COULD APPROACH OUR SW COUNTIES THIS MORNING...FEEL
THAT MOST OF THE FA WILL BE DRY...SO HAVE LOWERED POPS TO SLGT CHC
THROUGH 18Z. EXPECT SCT TSTMS TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AS ISENT
LIFT INCREASES. HAVE KEPT THE HIGHEST POPS IN OUR NW COUNTIES.

ALL MODELS SHOW STRONG SUPPORT FOR AN MCS MOVG THROUGH GRB CWA
TONIGHT...AS THE SFC/H8 WARM FRONTS LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE AREA...
AND THE RRQ OF AN UPPER JET STREAK SHIFTS THROUGH THE RGN. WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RISING TO AROUND 200% OF NORMAL...
K-INDICES OF 35-40 AND H8 DEW POINTS AROUND 14-15 C...FEEL THAT
THERE IS A GOOD LIKELIHOOD OF HEAVY RAINFALL. HAVE ALREADY SENT
OUT AN UPDATED HYDROLOGIC STATEMENT (ESF) TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
DEGREE OF INSTABILITY AND SHEAR ALSO SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR SVR
TSTMS...WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT. HAVE BOOSTED POPS
TO LIKELY OVER THE ENTIRE CWA...AND ADDED HEAVY RAINFALL TO THE WX
GRIDS.

ON THURSDAY...PCPN TRENDS ARE NOT QUITE AS CLEAR. THE STABILIZING
EFFECTS OF THE OVERNIGHT MCS...AND H8 FLOW RUNNING PARALLEL TO THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY SUGGEST NO BETTER THAN SCT DEVELOPMENT DURING
THE DAY. AS A RESULT...HAVE KEPT POPS IN THE CHC CATEGORY FOR
NOW.

SIDED TOWARD THE WARMER MET GUIDANCE FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT...
AND USED A BLEND OF MET/MAV FOR THURSDAY.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.

STRONG LOW AMPLITUDE FLOW ALOFT...ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA/EXTREME
NORTHERN CONUS...IS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THIS PART OF THE FORECAST.
THIS PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE IT QUITE DIFFICULT TO ADD ANY
SIGNIFICANT RESOLUTION TO THE FORECAST. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
REMAIN POSSIBLE IN THE CWA WITH A SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS
WISCONSIN. MODELS SHOWED HIGH QPF DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEK...SO EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE.

DID NOT SEE ANYTHING THAT WOULD LEAD ONE TO MAKE MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS
TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...SO ONLY MINOR CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE.
&&

.AVIATION...EXPECT PATCHY FOG TO DISSIPATE SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE
THIS MORNING. SCT TSTMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG AND NORTH OF A STATIONARY
FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. MVFR CIGS/VSBY ARE PSBL WITH THESE STORMS.
A LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE
RGN TONIGHT...ACCOMPANIED BY HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLY SOME
DAMAGING WINDS. IFR VSBYS AND MVFR CIGS WILL LIKELY ACCOMPANY
THESE STORMS.
&&

.GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
