538 FXUS63 KGRB 072358 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 658 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Updated aviation portion for 00Z TAF issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Seasonal summer weather is expected this week. Shower and thunderstorm chances expected late tonight through Tuesday evening, and Friday into Saturday. Heavy rainfall possible with the late week system. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 238 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 High pressure dominated our weather this afternoon, with SCT-BKN stratocumulus, light winds and comfortable temperatures in the 70s. Forecast concerns include shower/thunderstorm chances late tonight through Tuesday evening, and again Friday into Saturday. Precipitation Trends Late Tonight through Tuesday Evening...based on the latest CAMs, will have the highest pops (Likely category) impacting the forecast area late tonight through Tuesday morning. The forcing during this period will be provided by the RRQ of a weak jet streak, weak WAA and a modest influx of moisture (PWATs 1.2-1.7 inches) and elevated instability. Convection looks to be more scattered during the afternoon and evening, as a short-wave trough brushes through northern WI and a weak surface low/front moves through. Daytime instability will be on the marginal side (CAPE 800-1300 j/kg) due to extensive cloud cover, so the threat of severe storms looks to be low. Precipitation Trends Late Friday into Saturday... The late week system appears to have a bit more dynamic forcing, with a negatively-tilted short-wave moving through Friday afternoon and night. In addition, PWATs will increase to around 2 inches in C/EC WI, so at least locally heavy rainfall is expected. Current probabilistic guidance is not too excited about heavy rainfall, with only around a 10 percent chance of 1+ inches of rain. Suspect these probabilities will come up a bit as we get closer to the event. Have extended pops into Saturday, as an upper trough crosses the region. Seasonal temperatures are expected through next weekend, with highs hovering a few degrees below to a few degrees above normal. && .AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance Issued at 658 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 VFR conditions will continue this evening with few/scattered stratocumulus clouds in some spots, along with some high clouds spreading over the region. An area of showers and embedded storms is forecast to arrive at RHI/CWA/AUW by 08z-10z/Tue and GRB/ATW/MTW by 11z-13z/Tue. Continued the TEMPO groups for thunderstorms at each site, with the most favorable 4-hour time period for occurrence. MVFR to possibly IFR ceilings/vsbys are expected with the showers/storms. After the initial area of showers and isolated storms moves through, isolated showers or storms will be possible the rest of the afternoon with MVFR/VFR ceilings. Included PROB30s for this threat. Winds will remain light and variable early this evening, shifting mainly to the south/southeast later tonight. Winds will shift to the west/northwest on Tuesday, but remain mainly under 10 kts. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....Kieckbusch AVIATION.......Bersch
