187 FXUS63 KGRB 070722 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 222 AM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Seasonal summer weather is expected this week. Shower and thunderstorm chances expected tonight into Tuesday, and again Friday into Friday night. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 219 AM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Today... Mid-level clouds have developed over central and north-central WI early this morning limiting the potential for fog to develop. Will continue to monitor obs for any patchy ground fog that develops early this morning, but widespread dense fog has become unlikely. A dry continental airmass in place over the region will deliver pleasant summer conditions today. Highs this afternoon will reach the upper 70s to low 80s at most locations with comfortable humidity levels (dew points in the low 50s to around 60 degrees). Precipitation Chances... Next chance for precipitation arrives late tonight as an upper- level short- wave tracks along the US/Canada border toward Lake Superior. Severe weather parameters are not that impressive during the period, CAPE 500-1000J/kg, 0-6km shear 25-30kts, and PWATS 1.3- 1.4 inches. Likely result will be scattered to widespread showers through Tuesday morning with a few isolated thunderstorms developing during the late morning and afternoon. Total rainfall amounts are also not expected to be overly impactful as current NBM probs for greater than 0.5" are only 30-40%. Probs fall to 10-15% for the chance of greater than 1". Another round of rain is expected Friday and Friday night as a more amplified trough digs over the upper Midwest. Similar to Tuesday severe weather parameters are not all that impressive. PWATs are higher (1.6-2") which could point to the potential for periods of heavier rainfall within any stronger thunderstorms. However, global ensembles show very weak vertical wind fields suggesting storms will have a difficult time becoming organized and long lived. Temperatures for the remainder of the week should remain seasonal with limited humidity most days. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1051 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 Mainly VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. The exception will be if fog can develop overnight. Chance for widespread fog remains under 20% with no major change in the 00z guidance, but with the recent rain, would expect at least some patchy ground fog to develop overnight across parts of central and north central WI (especially in/near the Wisconsin River Valley), where winds are the lightest (under ~5 kts). Have continued with TEMPO groups between 08z-12z/Mon for fog at RHI/AUW/CWA. Across eastern WI, there was more rain over the past 24-36 hours, but winds in the boundary layer are a little stronger (5-10 kts), so it will be more of a challenge to get fog to form. Will hold off on any TEMPO groups at GRB/ATW/MTW and monitor trends. Monday will be dry with light winds. Chances for showers and storms return Monday night into Tuesday morning. Some elevated smoke could make for a hazy sky at times through the TAF period. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....GK AVIATION.......Bersch
