Fxus63 kgrb 202339 afdgrb area forecast discussion national weather service green bay wi 639 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 updated aviation portion for 00z TAF issuance Short term Tonight and Wednesday issued at 213 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 skies were mostly cloudy across the region this afternoon. Temperatures were in the lower to middle 70s across central and north-central wisconsin to around 80 across northeast and east-central wisconsin. For tonight, a cold front will drop south across the area. This feature will bring a small chance of showers and thunderstorms as it moves across the area. A few stronger storms are possible late this afternoon and early this evening across central and north-central wisconsin. Shear values of 25 to 35 knots noted along with cape values of 1,000 to 1,5000 j kg. Main risk would be gusty winds and small hail. The chances of showers and storms will end from northwest to southeast tonight, ending across eastern wisconsin after midnight. Late tonight, there may be a band of low clouds that drop south along with some patchy fog north and west of the fox valley. Any fog should burn off by mid-morning on Wednesday. Partly cloudy skies will prevail with highs in the 70s. Dewpoint readings will be in the 40s north and in the upper 40s to middle 50s south tomorrow afternoon. Long term Wednesday night through Tuesday issued at 213 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 the long term period will be largely dominated by a passing upper level ridge, and the next trough moving through by the end of the weekend. Thursday, a fairly prominent upper level trough will pass over the region, bringing rain and storms south of the area in the afternoon and evening. The gfs ECMWF have begun to hint that a few showers may be possible across east-central wi and the southern fox valley in the afternoon, but with the lack of

moisture and instability, stuck with the drier guidance for this issuance. Thursday night, high pressure will dominate the region as the upper level ridge moves in. Northerly flow will bring much colder air into the region. Winds near calm by Friday morning could allow the north-central cool spots to drop quickly before sunrise. Therefore went with the coolest guidance for the area, and temperatures in the middle 30s for the lows for the north. High pressure will then dominate the region through Saturday night, keeping the area dry. Return flow on the west side of the high will gradually bring in warmer temperatures again on Saturday. The speed the ridge moves through will largely dictate how quickly precipitation moves in Sunday into Monday. Currently, a slowly deepening upper level trough is expected to develop and move across minnesota Saturday night into Sunday morning. Guidance then remains a bit unclear as to how quickly this feature will bring pops into central wisconsin. Kept a few chances in by the early portion of the day. A surface low is expected to develop with the upper level feature and deepen on Sunday, before progressing eastwards across the area by Sunday night. The low then lingers on into Monday. This will be the best chance to see storms develop in the extended period, but it's still too early to determine any severe potential. Temperatures will be below normal through Friday, then rise back up to near normal by Monday and Tuesday. Aviation For 00z TAF issuance issued at 639 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 a cold front will move across the area tonight. It may be accompanied by a few hours of MVFR cloudiness and possibly a light rain shower. Vfr conditions are expected Wednesday and Wednesday night with mostly clear skies and excellent visibility. Grb watches warnings advisories None. Short term... ..Eckberg long term... ... Uhlmann aviation... ... .Rdm

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
