773 FXUS63 KGRB 070325 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1025 PM CDT Fri Jun 6 2025 Updated aviation portion for 06Z TAF issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Widespread rain and thunderstorms are expected on Sunday and Monday. Severe potential remains low at this time. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 351 PM CDT Fri Jun 6 2025 This afternoon`s radar imagery showed isolated showers across north- central and far northeast WI, where clouds had cleared early this morning. A few rumbles of thunder were observed earlier this afternoon, which coincided with a couple hundred J/kg of SBCAPE. Elsewhere, dry conditions prevailed under partly to mostly cloudy skies. Anticipate the isolated showers to continue to pop up and dissipate throughout the remainder of the afternoon and into early this evening. SBCAPE has already decreased, so the likelihood of additional rumbles of thunder is very low. A few isolated showers or sprinkles are possible overnight as lingering low to mid-level moisture sticks around, but a lack in forcing may prevent any additional shower activity. Additional isolated showers are possible on Saturday in central and north- central WI, where some low-level WAA will reside during the afternoon. Cannot rule out a few rumbles of thunder within any shower with a couple hundred J/kg of CAPE around as well. The remainder of the region should remain dry under mostly sunny skies. A cold front is still on track to march across the forecast area on Sunday, bringing widespread rain chances and thunderstorms. The precipitation appears to be located only along the front, so the rain/storm chances will be brief at any one location. The front is progged to move across the forecast area from west to east between mid-morning Sunday and late Sunday afternoon. Additional precipitation may develop behind the front as well into the evening before dissipating. The severe thunderstorm potential continues to appear low due to the timing of the frontal passage and an unfavorable location of the various severe parameters. A mid-level closed low will dive south across the western Great Lakes region Sunday night into Monday. This will provide another opportunity for more showers and thunderstorms on Monday and possibly into Tuesday. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1014 PM CDT Fri Jun 6 2025 BKN mid-level clouds will likely persist through the night, and given the expected cloud cover, confidence is too low to include fog at any particular location overnight. Aside from the lingering mid-level clouds, there is potential for SCT cumulus clouds to form Saturday afternoon. Some models generate a few showers and possibly an isolated thunderstorm in C/NC WI during the afternoon/early evening, and plan to add PROB30 groups for showers at AUW/CWA for a few hours. Looking at the latest smoke models, don`t see any threat of significant surface-based smoke through this TAF period. Light E-NE winds will increase a little and become SE-S by Saturday afternoon. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....Kruk AVIATION.......Kieckbusch
