NWS Green Bay, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 16, 7:23 PM CST, 3 hours 15 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI 823 PM CDT MON JUN 16 2014 UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 06Z TAF ISSUANCE .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND TUESDAY ISSUED AT 348 PM CDT MON JUN 16 2014 SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND A WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE SHOULD KEEP THE AREA DRY THROUGH THE EVENING. THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE CENTERS AROUND CONVECTION LATER TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THE REMAINDER OF THE CONVECTION THAT WAS IN EASTERN NEBRASKA EARLIER TODAY WAS MERGING WITH ANOTHER AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT MOVED OUT OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA. MODELS SHOWED AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE PASSING THROUGH WISCONSIN TONIGHT AND A WARM FRONT SOUTH OF THE WISCONSIN/ILLINOIS BORDER WILL PUSH NORTH. THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA SHOULD SEE SOME RAINFALL AS THE SHORT WAVE PASSES...BUT SEVERE POTENTIAL AND THE LOCATION OF THE MAX QPF REMAINS IN QUESTION. HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH THE HIGHEST QPF ACROSS CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL WISCONSIN AS CORFIDI VECTORS WOULD HAVE THE STORMS TO OUR WEST MOVING EAST-SOUTHEAST DURING THE NIGHT...AND THAT IS A KIND OF A COMPROMISE BETWEEN 12Z GFS AND 12Z ECMWF LOCATIONS. MAX 6-HOUR MODEL QPF TOTALS WERE MAINLY IN THE 1 TO 2 INCH RANGE...SO FLOODING IS A POSSIBILITY. THE AIR MASS WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE TONIGHT AS MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES CONTINUE TO INCREASE. 850MB JET WAS FORECAST TO BE INTO WESTERN WISCONSIN AT 06Z AND SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AT 12Z. SPC HAS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS COVERING THE SOUTHERN 2/3RDS OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THE MAIN THREATS. TORNADOES CANNOT BE RULED OUT. DID NOT ISSUE BEACH HAZARD STATEMENT FOR TUESDAY DUE TO SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO AT LEAST EARLY MORNING AND COLD WATER TEMPERATURES. .LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY ISSUED AT 348 PM CDT MON JUN 16 2014 MAIN FOCUS IN THE EXTENDED FCST TO BE THE LOCATION OF A QUASI- STNRY BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS WI AND THE MOVEMENT OF A CLOSED UPR LOW ACROSS THE NRN TIER OF STATES NEAR THE CANADIAN BORDER. EXPECT TO SEE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF PREDOMINANTLY NOCTURNAL TSTM CLUSTERS DEVELOP TO OUR WEST AND ROLL EITHER EAST OR E-SE ACROSS WI... GENERATING A THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN TOTALS. THIS THREAT OF TSTMS MAY CARRY ON THRU THE UPCOMING WEEKEND UNTIL THE WEAKENING UPR LOW FINALLY CLEARS THE REGION. TEMPS WL BE A PROBLEM DEPENDING ON PCPN/CLOUD TRENDS...BUT EXPECT READINGS TO GENERALLY BE AT OR ABOVE NORMAL THRU THE WEEKEND. QUASI-STNRY FNT IS FCST TO RESIDE ACROSS S-CNTRL WI AND BE THE MAIN FOCAL POINT FOR ADDITIONAL SHWRS AND TSTMS TUE NGT. AN INCREASING SW LOW-LEVEL JET OF 40-50 KTS WL CONT TO BRING DEEP GULF MOISTURE NWD TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES WITH PW VALUES APPROACHING 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL. ANTICIPATE ANOTHER MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX TO DEVELOP TO OUR WEST AND MOVE EAST ACROSS WI DURING THE OVRNGT HOURS. THERE WL BE AN INHERITED DOUBT AS TO WHERE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WL BE SITUATED...BUT SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL/DAMAGING WINDS/TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS ARE A POSSIBILITY OVER NE WI. WL CONT TO HIGHLIGHT THIS POTENTIAL IN THE HWO. THIS LATEST COMPLEX OF STORMS TO EXIT THE AREA WED MORNING...WHILE THE QUASI-STNRY FNT WL LIKELY GET SHOVED SOUTH INTO SRN WI BY THE OVRNGT CONVECTION. THE GULF REMAINS WIDE OPEN...THUS A PERSISTENT MOISTURE FEED WL BE AVAILABLE TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES. THE ATMOSPHERE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FNT TO REMAIN VERY UNSTABLE WITH CAPES > 3K J/KG...LI'S AROUND -10 AND STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. ANTICIPATE ANOTHER ROUND OF TSTMS TO DEVELOP IN THE VICINITY OF THE FNT...THEREFORE SRN SECTIONS OF THE FCST AREA WL HAVE THE HIGHEST POPS. MAX TEMPS WL COOL A BIT WITH MORE OF AN EASTERLY WIND AS READINGS REACH NEAR 80 DEGS NORTH...UPR 70S TO LWR 80S SOUTH WITH COOLER READINGS LAKESIDE. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS PROGGED TO REMAIN DOGGEDLY STUCK ACROSS SRN/SW SECTIONS OF WI WED NGT INTO THU WHICH WL BRING MORE SHWRS/ TSTMS INTO THE FCST AREA. HIGHEST POPS TO REMAIN PRIMARILY OVER CNTRL WI CLOSER TO THE NW-SE ORIENTATED BOUNDARY. TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE SEVERE POTENTIAL JUST YET...HOWEVER LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS A DISTINCTIVE POSSIBILITY AND MAY LEAD TO FLOODING ISSUES DEPENDING ON WHERE HEAVIER RAINS FELL EARLIER IN THE WEEK. WHILE THE QUASI-STNRY FNT CONTS TO MEANDER OVER WI THRU FRI... ATTENTION TURNS TOWARD THE NRN PLAINS WHERE A CLOSED UPR LOW TO BE SITUATED. NE WI WL HAVE A CONTINUOUS PCPN CHC UNTIL THE FNT GETS PUSHED SOUTH AND THIS UPR LOW CLEARS THE REGION. UNFORTUNATELY... THERE REMAINS SOME MDL DISAGREEMENT AS TO THE MOVEMENT OF THIS UPR LOW. LATEST MDL TRENDS ARE FOR THIS UPR LOW TO WEAKEN INTO AN UPR TROF AND SWING THRU WI ON SUNDAY. IT MAY TAKE UNTIL SUNDAY NGT FOR THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM TO CLEAR OUT OF WI. BOTTOM LINE IS THAT NE WI WL SEE AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK WITH SEVERAL CHCS OF SEEING SEVERE TSTMS. IT WL NOT RAIN ALL THE TIME AND THERE WL BE SEVERAL DRY STRETCHES IN BETWEEN THE STORMS. HOWEVER...DUE TO THE ABUNDANCE OF GULF MOISTURE PRESENT...SOME OF THE TSTMS WL BECOME PROLIFIC RAIN PRODUCES AND MAY LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. && .AVIATION...FOR 06Z TAF ISSUANCE ISSUED AT 822 PM CDT MON JUN 16 2014 AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE STRONG SURFACE WIND GUSTS MAINLY SOUTH OF A WAUSAU TO GREEN BAY LINE. THE STORMS WILL EXIT THE REGION EARLY TUESDAY WITH VFR CONDITIONS IN MOST PLACES BY AFTERNOON. && .HYDROLOGY... ISSUED AT 348 PM CDT MON JUN 16 2014 THE COMBINATION OF ABUNDANT GULF MOISTURE AND A WAVERING FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WL LEAD TO SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NE WI THIS WEEK. THERE IS A POTENTIAL OF 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAINFALL TO OCCUR THROUGH FRIDAY NGT WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. THE MAIN QUESTION IS WHETHER THE HEAVY RAINS WILL FALL OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS OR SHIFT NORTH OR SOUTH. IF IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT CERTAIN LOCATIONS WILL BE HIT OVER AND OVER...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY BECOME NECESSARY. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM.....MG LONG TERM......KALLAS AVIATION.......RDM HYDROLOGY......KALLAS
