Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance

.SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Sunday
Issued at 301 AM CDT Sat Jun 19 2021

The main concern in the short-term portion of the forecast will be
increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms for Sunday.

Today and tonight: Any lingering showers/isolated thunderstorm
and cloud cover associated with the passing shortwave, will
quickly exit off to the east of the area this morning. High
pressure is expected to quickly build in from the northwest and
become centered overhead this afternoon into tonight. This will
allow for calm winds and mostly clear skies across northeast
Wisconsin. Most locations will see high temperatures in the mid to
upper 70s to around 80. Overnight lows are forecast to range from
the mid and upper 40s north to the mid and upper 50s south.

Sunday: The aforementioned high pressure center is expected to shift
east of the area late Sunday morning into the afternoon. As this
happens, southerly winds are expected to increase as a low pressure
system approaches from the northern Plains. The low is expected to
steadily deepen as an extensive upper-level trough axis digs into
the Upper Midwest. There are some differences in the model solutions
as to how strong the surface low is and exactly where the low will
trek. The NAM has the low a bit stronger and takes the trek across
the southern WI/northern IL border. The GFS/Canadian/EC have the
surface low a bit weaker and less defined directly across northern
Wisconsin. Either way, deep layer moisture is expected to increase
across the entire state as warm air advection and moisture advection
increases. Isentropic upglide on the WAA will help to increase
precipitation coverage by late Sunday morning and especially into
Sunday afternoon from the southwest. The overall evolution is a
little murky as the meso models have two rounds of convection. The
first round is progged to develop over IA in the morning before
lifting northeast through souther WI. That area of convection could
impact east-central WI by early afternoon. Then it looks like there
would be a break ahead of the approaching cold front later in the
afternoon into the evening.

Shear values are expected to increase to around 30-40 kts, but
instability looks to be fairly meager with mid-level lapse rates
only on the order of 5.5 to 6 C/km through Sunday afternoon. It only
looks like around 400 J/kg of instability is being painted out
across the area, and that is close to the highest values from
guidance. This may be a result of limited recovery time between the
first round of convection and the second. Unless lapse rates steepen
and instability values increase due to a larger break in rounds of
precipitation, the risk of severe weather looks to be fairly low.
PWAT values are expected to increase to around 1 to 2 inches, so any
thunderstorms that do occur, would have the potential to produce
heavy rainfall. Most locations across northeast WI can expect
between 0.5 and 1.0 inches of much need rainfall from this system
through late Sunday night. High temperatures are forecast to be in
the 70s for much of the area.

.LONG TERM...Sunday Night Through Friday
Issued at 301 AM CDT Sat Jun 19 2021

The main story for the first half of next week to be a deep upper
trough that will dig across the Great Lakes region and usher in
much cooler air with temperatures bottoming out on Monday with
readings 10 to 20 degrees below normal. This trough departs at
mid-week as a weakening upper ridge moves across the central
CONUS. This will allow for temperatures to rebound back above
normal by next Thursday. There appears to be two good chances for
precipitation with the first chance coming Sunday/Sunday night
with the upper trough and the second chance coming late Thursday
into Friday morning with a cold front/shortwave trough.

Sunday night and Monday...
Showers and thunderstorms to be ongoing Sunday evening as a
surface low/cold front begin to pull east, while the trailing
upper trough arrives later Sunday night. As the better lift and
moisture gets shunted east during the night, expect precipitation
to become more scattered in nature. Anticipate a healthy rainfall
overall with totals from Sunday through Sunday night generally in
the three-quarters of an inch to a little over one inch. Min
temperatures to range from the middle to upper 40s far north-
central WI, to the upper 50s east-central WI. Models show
individual mid-level shortwaves moving through the upper trough on
Monday and the question is whether any precipitation will get
generated or simply bring a healthy dose of clouds. It appears
that any shower activity would be sporadic and may be nothing more
than sprinkles due to the dry air in place. The bottom line is
that the vast majority of northeast WI will be dry on Monday with
max temperatures in the upper 50s north, middle 60s to around 70
degrees east-central WI.

Monday night and Tuesday...
The exit of the shortwave and loss of daytime heating should allow
for quiet conditions Monday night. High pressure located to our
south over the mid-MS Valley will help bring mostly clear skies
and light winds to northeast WI. These conditions, when coupled
with a rather cool air mass overhead (8H temperatures of +2 to
+5C) will bring a cool night to the area. Min temperatures to
range from the middle to upper 30s north (patchy frost?), to the
upper 40s along Lake MI. Models hint at another shortwave to drop
southeast into the region on Tuesday and bring an increase in
clouds along with a slight chance of showers. Once again, most
locations will remain dry through the day. Max temperatures
Tuesday to reach the lower to middle 60s north, middle 60s to
around 70 degrees south.

Tuesday night and Wednesday...
Some of the showers could linger into Tuesday night, then the
process repeats itself on Wednesday as the last of the shortwaves
moves through the upper trough which will begin to shift east. A
more south-southwest flow at low-levels of the atmosphere will
begin to pull warmer air into WI on Wednesday which will bring max
temperatures up into the lower to middle 70s north-central WI,
mainly upper 70s over central/east-central WI.

Wednesday night and Thursday...
As the upper trough departs Wednesday night, a weakening upper
ridge will move across the central CONUS allowing for a modest
zonal flow to develop over the western Great Lakes. Models are
still getting a handle on the movement of the next cold front/
shortwave trough on Thursday. The ECMWF has sped up this system
and is now closer to the GFS solution. Therefore, have increased
the chance of precipitation a bit from the previous forecast. Max
temperatures by Thursday will jump above normal with readings in
the upper 70s to around 80 degrees north/near Lake MI, lower to
middle 80s elsewhere.

Thursday night and Friday...
Precipitation chances would then increase for Thursday night into
early Friday as the cold front/shortwave trough sweep east into
the Great Lakes region. Much too early for specifics yet on
severe potential, but any rain would be beneficial, especially
over east-central WI where drought conditions still exist. Max
temperatures on Friday to range from the upper 70s to around 80
degrees north/lakeside, lower to middle 80s central/east-central
WI.

.AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1046 PM CDT Fri Jun 18 2021

VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. A mid level
disturbance will bring some showers through the region overnight,
which may briefly lower CIGs and visibility as it crosses in the
early morning Saturday, but this is not expected to lower
conditions below VFR at this time. The coverage of these showers
is expected to be isolated per upstream doppler radar
observations; therefore, will continue the VCSH in the TAFs
instead of a tempo group as confidence in showers hitting the TAF
sites is fairly low. Otherwise dry weather is expected during the
day time hours on Saturday.
