AREAS AFFECTED...SRN/CENTRAL WI

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 425...

VALID 071806Z - 072000Z

SVR THREAT WILL CONTINUE OVER MUCH OF WW 425 THROUGH 21Z.

AIRMASS DOWNSTREAM OF WEAKENING CONVECTIVE LINE OVER WRN WI REMAINS
MODERATELY UNSTABLE WITH MUCAPE VALUES AROUND 3000 J/KG. WEAKENING
INHIBITION IS EVIDENT BY RECENT TRENDS OF REDEVELOPMENT OF
STRONG/ISOLATED SVR STORMS ALONG GUST FRONT/OUTFLOW OVER CENTRAL WI.
WELL DEFINED CONVERGENCE ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SHOULD CONTINUE
TO SUPPORT MORE SVR TSTM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THIS BOUNDARY FROM SWRN
WI ENEWD INTO CENTRAL WI OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. GREATEST SVR HAIL
POTENTIAL WILL REMAIN OVER SWRN PORTIONS OF WW 425...WHERE STEEPER
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND STRONGER MID LVL FLOW/DEEP LAYER SHEAR
EXISTS. ALONG AND AHEAD OF CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW OVER CENTRAL/ERN
WI...FOCUSED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE/PRESSURE RISES IN THE WAKE OF
CONVECTIVE LINE AND SOMEWHAT WEAKER MID LEVEL WINDS WILL SUPPORT
DAMAGING WINDS AS THE PRIMARY THREAT.
