AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
212 PM CDT FRI MAY 2 2008

.SHORT TERM...

THE WINDOW FOR SEVERE THREAT IS BEGINNING. THERE IS STILL A SMALL
CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS...ALONG WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. GOOD UPPER DIFLUENCE AS 95 KT
UPPER JET PUSHES INTO THE LAKE MICHIGAN AREA THIS EVENING.

VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING CLOUDS THINNING BEHIND EARLY
AFTERNOON BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN WI AND
NORTHERN IL. LIS HAVE RISEN TO -3.

EXPECT MAIN THREAT JUST AHEAD OF DRY PUNCH THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE
FORECAST AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. WATER
VAPOR LOOP SHOWS DRYING JUST NOW PUSHING INTO THE EXTREME SOUTHWEST.

FORECAST SOUNDINGS OFF 12Z NAM AND 17Z RUC HAVE MARGINAL
CAPE...BUT THIS MAY BE UNDERDONE WITH A LITTLE HEATING. ALSO A
BRIEF TORNADO POTENTIAL WITH HELICITY RAISING TO AROUND 230. EHI
VALUES ARE NEAR 1...BUT WITH A LITTLE MORE CAPE THOSE WOULD BE
HIGHER. HOWEVER RUC IS SHOWING THAT DRY PUNCH PUSHES IN FAIRLY
RAPIDLY. IF THIS HAPPENS LIMITED INSTABILITY MAY NOT BE ENOUGH FOR
DEEP CONVECTION.

AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA COULD BE IN THE
WARM SECTOR...BEFORE OCCLUDED FRONT PUSHES IN FROM THE
SOUTHWEST...AND DRY AIR PUSHES INTO THE MID LEVELS AROUND THE
MATURE CLOSED UPPER LOW. THEN DRY AIR WILL SHUT OFF
THUNDERSTORM...AND SHOWER POTENTIAL THIS EVENING. WINDS SHIFTED TO
SOUTHWEST WITH GUSTS TO 33 KNOTS WITH OCCLUSION.

WRAP AROUND PRECIP EXPECTED ON SATURDAY AS UPPER LOW OPENS AND
RESULTANT TROUGH MOVES ACROSS WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS.

SHORTWAVE ON GFS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT IS NOT AS PRONOUNCED AS
YESTERDAY AND IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH ECMWF. BOTH 12Z GFS AND
12Z ECMWF HAVE A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH MONDAY. BOTH
NAM AND GFS HAVE STEEP LAPSE RATES...CAPES NEAR 700 OFF THE GFS.
THEREFORE WILL GO WITH A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

.LONG TERM...

NEW ECMWF IS NOW TRENDING TOWARD THE GFS IN THE MID/LATE PERIODS.
THEREFORE WILL TREND WETTER FOR TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION...MAIN ISSUE FOR TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY IS EXPECTED
CONVECTION LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS AND
ASSOCIATED MVFR/IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH LOW
LEVEL JET NOSE PUSHING NORTHEAST OF THE AREA.

NEXT ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED BETWEEN 20Z FRIDAY AND 02Z
SATURDAY...AS COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. EXPECT
PREVAILING MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WITH THUNDERSTORMS...WITH
SOME IFR VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS POSSIBLE IN STRONGEST STORMS.
WINDS GRADUALLY INCREASE IN MAGNITUDE AND SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST AND
WEST ON SATURDAY. MVFR CEILINGS AND SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED AS UPPER LOW SHIFTS ACROSS THE AREA.

&&

.MARINE...STABLE MARINE LAYER EXPECTED TO PREVENT MIXING OF WINDS
ALOFT DOWN TO THE SURFACE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. THIS SHOULD KEEP
WINDS BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA...DESPITE AN INCREASING
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT.

.MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
