AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI 1050 PM CDT WED JUN 26 2013 UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 06Z TAF ISSUANCE .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 847 PM CDT WED JUN 26 2013 WILL BE UPDATING PCPN TRENDS SHORTLY. ALTHOUGH CONVECTION HAS WEAKENED DUE TO DECREASING INSTABILITY...ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WAS OCCURRING OVER NC WI...IN THE LFQ OF A 90-100 KT JET STREAK. ISOLATED CONVECTION WAS ALSO NOTED ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST ND AND NORTHERN MN...IN ASSOCIATION WITH A COUPLE S/W TROFS. CURRENT FCST HAS PCPN ENDING AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT SUSPECT THAT AT LEAST ISOLD SHRA/TSRA WILL NEED TO BE KEPT IN THE FCST OVERNIGHT. PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER ROUND OF FOG OVERNIGHT. THE THICKEST FOG SHOULD OCCUR OVER NC/NE WI... WHERE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL OCCURRED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. && .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND THURSDAY ISSUED AT 225 PM CDT WED JUN 26 2013 LATEST RUC ANALYSIS AND SATELLITE/RADAR IMAGERY SHOW AN ELONGATED SHORTWAVE TROUGH SPINNING OVER THE LAKE WINNIPEG REGION WHICH ALSO EXTENDS SOUTH INTO THE NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE IS SPINNING OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND IS HEADING EAST...SO NOT MUCH IMPACT ACROSS OUR AREA. STORMS FIRED UP AROUND MIDDAY ALONG A SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE WI/MN BORDER WHERE ML CAPES ARE REACHING UP TO 2K J/KG. THE FIRST WARNING THIS AFTERNOON WAS JUST ISSUED A FEW MINUTES AGO...BUT STORMS ARE NOT SHOWING MUCH ORGANIZATION AND 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES ARE RATHER POOR AT AROUND 20 KTS. WITH SUCH WEAK BULK SHEAR VALUES...THINKING PULSY SEVERE AT THIS TIME UNLESS STORMS CAN BECOME MORE ORGANIZED. A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS TRIED TO DEVELOP OVER NORTH-CENTRAL AND FAR NORTHEAST WISCONSIN...BUT FIZZLED OUT. SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES ARE THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN. TONIGHT...LATEST TIMING HAS STORMS ARRIVING INTO NORTH-CENTRAL WISCONSIN AT AROUND 21Z AND PROGRESSING EAST TO NORTHEAST WISCONSIN BY 00-01Z BEFORE EXITING AFTER 04Z. WITH STORMS ARRIVING AT OR NEAR PEAK HEATING...SEVERE WEATHER HAS POTENTIAL TO REACH NORTHEAST WISCONSIN THOUGH CAPES ARE NOT NEARLY AS IMPRESSIVE OVER NORTHEAST AND EAST-CENTRAL WISCONSIN AS FURTHER WEST. WITH LOSS OF HEATING AND WEAKER INSTABILITY...THINK SEVERE THREAT OVER THE EASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE ARE VERY MARGINAL. BETTER CHANCES WILL BE OVER NORTH-CENTRAL WISCONSIN. ONCE THE STORMS DEPARTS/WEAKEN...RATHER JUICY AIRMASS WILL LINGER FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. AREAS THAT RECEIVED RAIN WILL BE PRIME CANDIDATES FOR DENSE FOG AND WILL ADD FOG TO THE FORECAST. LOWS MAINLY IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. THURSDAY...THE UPPER TROUGH OVER LAKE WINNIPEG WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST INTO LAKE SUPERIOR. WILL HAVE SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF UPPER DIVERGENCE IN THE LEFT FRONT QUAD OF THE JET STREAK FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...SO CANNOT RULE OUT SPOTTY SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE MORNING. BUT THINKING STORMS ARE LIKELY FOR MOST OF NORTH-CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST WISCONSIN IN THE AFTERNOON...ONCE UPWARDS OF 1500 J/KG OF ML CAPE CAN DEVELOP ACCORDING TO PROGGED SOUNDINGS. WITH DEEP MIXING AND 0-6KM BULK SHEAR AROUND 30KTS...THINK SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS. SHOULD FEEL LESS HUMID OUT THERE THAN TODAY...BUT HIGHS SHOULD STILL REACH INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S. .LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY ISSUED AT 225 PM CDT WED JUN 26 2013 IN GENERAL...MAINLY DIURNAL CONVECTION ANTICIPATED WITH AS A SHORT WAVE CARVES OUT A DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY FOLLOWED WITH A TREND FOR DRIER AND COOLER AIR IN THE NORTH FLOW FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND INTO THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. DIURNAL CONVECTION TO BE ON THE DECREASE THURSDAY NIGHT IN THE WEAK CYCLONIC FLOW. WILL CONTINUE THE TREND OF MAINLY EVENING SHOWERS CHANCES FOR MOST LOCATIONS. OTHERWISE SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED STORMS TO BE ON THE INCREASE AGAIN FRIDAY AS THE COOLER UPPER TROUGH SLOWLY DRIFTS SOUTHWARD OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION. AGAIN A DIURNAL DECREASE MAY OCCUR LATER FRIDAY EVENING...BUT SHOWER ACTIVITY NOT LIKELY TO END UNTIL THE TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS FAR ENOUGH SOUTH. THE ECMWF AND GFS WERE THE MOST PROGRESSIVE WITH THE TROUGH AND PCPN SOUTH OF THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING. THE NAM IS MUCH SLOWER WITH THE TROUGH PASSAGE AND HANGS ONTO PCPN THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON. EVENTUALLY COOLER DRIER ON NORTHERLY WINDS WILL SWEEP SOUTH OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES LATER SATURDAY THROUGH THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF THE NEXT WEEK AS THE CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN. PCPN CHANCES BEGIN TO RETURN AFTER TUESDAY AS THE GFS PROG THIS DEEP TROUGH TO CUT OFF INTO AN UPPER LOW AND RETROGRADE BACK INTO WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION. THE ECMWF HAS A SIMILAR SOLUTION BUT DROPS ANOTHER PIECE OF ENERGY INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW. RETURN FLOW TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY CONFINED TO THE ROCKIES AND NORTHERN PLAINS SO WILL KEEP POPS ON THE LOW SIDE. IN ADDITION...ANY CONVECTION WHICH CAN DEVELOP WILL LIKELY BE DIURNAL. && .AVIATION...FOR 06Z TAF ISSUANCE ISSUED AT 1045 PM CDT WED JUN 26 2013 SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BECOME MORE ISOLATED OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE OVER PARTS OF NC/NE WI. BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS AND LIGHT WINDS WILL ALLOW FOG TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...AND IT MAY BECOME DENSE IN LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL. WILL CARRY VLIFR CONDITIONS AT RHI. SHOWERS AND SCT TSTMS WILL INCREASE AGAIN BY MIDDAY THURSDAY...AS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES THROUGH DURING PEAK AFTERNOON HEATING. STRONG/SEVERE TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && UPDATE.........KIECKBUSCH SHORT TERM.....MPC LONG TERM......TDH AVIATION.......KIECKBUSCH
