039 FXUS63 KGRB 071736 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1236 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Updated aviation portion for 18Z TAF 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 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1226 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 SCT-BKN stratocumulus clouds (VFR) were observed across much of the forecast area at issuance time, along with light and variable winds. No precipitation was reported regionwide, though a line of showers and storms was moving into NW MN. VFR conditions will persist through this evening. A round of showers and storms will arrive at the western TAF sites by 09z-10z/Tue, and the eastern TAF sites by 12z-13z/Tue. Have added TEMPO groups for thunderstorms at each site, with the most favorable 4-hour time period for occurrence. MVFR conditions may accompany storms, and some low clouds (MVFR/local IFR) will probably impact RHI/AUW/CWA after the main band of showers moves through. Light and variable winds will become SE-S tonight into Tuesday morning. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....GK AVIATION.......Kieckbusch
