...THUNDERSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS POSSIBLE LATER TODAY AND
THIS EVENING ACROSS SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL WISCONSIN...

AN UNUSUALLY STRONG STORM SYSTEM PASSING WEST OF WISCONSIN TODAY WILL
BRING A MODERATE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER TO THE STATE LATER TODAY
AND THIS EVENING.  THE MAIN THREAT APPEARS TO BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
FROM FAST MOVING THUNDERSTORMS...WITH THE MOST VULNERABLE AREA BEING
THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF WISCONSIN.

A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH TO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON
WHILE A COLD FRONT RACES NORTHEAST OUT OF MISSOURI.  THE INTENSE
DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM ARE CAPABLE OF CAUSING A SQUALL
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS TO FORM ALONG THE COLD FRONT
THEN RACE INTO WISCONSIN AFTER 3 OR 4 PM FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

THE STORMS COULD MAINTAIN STRENGTH THIS EVENING AS THEY MOVE NORTH
INTO NORTHEAST WISCONSIN.

THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.  LISTEN FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE
WEATHER WATCHES AND WARNINGS LATER TODAY AND THIS EVENING...AND BE
PREPARED TO TAKE COVER IF THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES.
