AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
418 AM CDT FRI JUN 6 2008

FORECAST FOCUS ON SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED A POTENT UPPER LOW OVER
EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA. ASSOCIATED ELONGATED VORTICITY MAXIMUM
COMBINING WITH PRE FRONTAL TROUGH...STRONG WIND SHEAR AND MAINLY
ELEVATED INSTABILITY TO PRODUCE A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS FROM FAR WESTERN WISCONSIN SOUTH TO EASTERN IOWA
INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI. SURFACE WARM FRONT TRYING TO MOVE NORTHWARD
OUT OF THE NORTHEAST FORECAST AREA...WHERE FOG WAS OCCURRING IN
STABLE AND MOIST AIRMASS.

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

LINE OF LINEAR CONVECTION APPROACHING THE WESTERN COUNTIES OF THE
FORECAST AREA APPEARS TO BE SLOWLY WEAKENING. STRONGEST STORMS
STILL PRODUCING WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH IN SPOTS...BUT
CONVECTION IS RUNNING INTO A MORE STABLE AND CAPPED AIRMASS OVER
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...WITH 700MB TEMPERATURES AROUND +12 DEGREES
CELSIUS.

LOCAL HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS SHOWING THIS CONVECTION WEAKENING AS
IT MOVES INTO THE WESTERN COUNTIES EARLY THIS MORNING. WILL
MENTION SCATTERED THUNDER IN THE WEST EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH
CHANCE POPS IN THE EAST. WILL ALSO MENTION FOG IN THE NORTHEAST
COUNTIES EARLY...UNTIL WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH OF THE AREA.

SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TODAY INCREASES...WITH GOOD MIXING
EXPECTED IN THE WARM SECTOR OVER THE AREA. AREA FORECAST SOUNDINGS
SHOWING WINDS OF 40 TO 45 KNOTS AT 1000 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL
AT TIMES TODAY...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE 20 TO 25 KNOT RANGE.
THE GUSTS WOULD MEET WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA...WITH THE SUSTAINED
WINDS JUST BELOW. GIVEN THE WARM SECTOR PRESENCE...FEEL THAT
MIXING OF THE GUSTS TO THE SURFACE WILL BE BORDERLINE GIVEN PARCEL
TENDENCY TO MIX UPWARD. SO...WILL HOLD OFF ON A WIND ADVISORY FOR
NOW...AND WILL MENTION WINDY WORDING IN FORECAST.

AS FAR AS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT GOES...AM NOT OVERLY OPTIMISTIC
ABOUT SEVERE WEATHER. PRE FRONTAL TROUGH MOVES EASTWARD INTO LOWER
MICHIGAN AND INDIANA BY 00Z SATURDAY...WITH COLD FRONT MOVING
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. NOT A LOT OF CONVERGENCE SEEN WITH THE
FRONT. IN ADDITION...MOST OF THE INSTABILITY IN AREA FORECAST
SOUNDINGS ARE ABOVE 700MB CAP...SO WOULD NEED GOOD DEEP LAYER
UPWARD MOTION TO REALIZE CAPE. GFS DOES SHOW A GOOD VORTICITY
MAXIMUM OVER THE AREA AT 00Z SATURDAY...BUT NOT REFLECTED AS WELL
ON OTHER MODELS.

THERE IS A GOOD AMOUNT OF MEAN LAYER CAPE...AROUND 1500 TO 2000
J/KG BY LATE AFTERNOON. 0-6KM SHEAR OF 50 TO 60 KNOTS
EXPECTED...WITH 0-1KM SHEAR OF 20 TO 30 KNOTS...QUITE STRONG. IF
STORMS CAN GET GOING...SEVERE WEATHER WOULD BE POSSIBLE...WITH
LINEAR MCS AND EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS POSSIBLE. SPC DAY 1 HAS AREA IN
SLIGHT RISK. SO...WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS...BUT WILL REMOVE SEVERE
WORDING UNTIL BETTER FEEL FOR CONVECTIVE INITIATION IS FOUND.

BREAK IN THE ACTION LATER THIS EVENING UNTIL SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
ECMWF AND GFS BOTH DEVELOP CONVECTION TO THE NORTHWEST BY 00Z
SUNDAY...THEN DROP THE SURFACE BOUNDARY SOUTH ACROSS SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN BY SUNDAY. SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO MODELS WITH
TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF CONVECTION...GENERALLY FOLLOWED ECMWF PER
HPC DISCUSSIONS. 50 KNOT PLUS LOW LEVEL JET POINTS INTO AREA
SATURDAY NIGHT. CAPE AND SHEAR VALUES IMPRESSIVE AGAIN DURING THIS
TIME...WITH SPC DAY 2 HAVING MOST OF AREA IN SLIGHT RISK. GIVEN
DIFFERENCES AMONG MODELS AND THEIR GENERALLY POOR HANDLING OF
CONVECTION...WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS IN THIS PERIOD.

SURFACE BOUNDARY HANGS AROUND SOUTHERN WISCONSIN SUNDAY...WITH
UNSTABLE AIRMASS AND DECENT WIND SHEAR REMAINING. KEPT CHANCE POPS
HERE...WITH ANOTHER SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SPC
DAY 3 OUTLOOK IN THE AREA.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

ACTIVE PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK...WITH SEVERAL
ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE WITH PASSING
SHORTWAVES AND SURFACE SYSTEMS. WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS FOR MOST
OF THIS PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...BIGGEST PROBLEM TODAY WILL BE TURBULENCE WITH
SUSTAINED GRADIENT SFC WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KTS AND GUSTS APPROACHING
40 KTS AT TIMES AHEAD OF SFC COLD FRONT...WITH 50KT WINDS AROUND
3500 FT. WINDS WILL EASE FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE. EXPECT MAINLY VFR CIGS
WITH LIGHT PCPN AND DEBRIS CLOUDS FROM EARLY LINE OF
CONVECTION...WHICH IS WEAKENING AS IT APPROACHES FORECAST AREA AND
SHOULD NOT POSE A PROBLEM. WILL ACCOUNT FOR POSSIBLE MVFR CIGS
WITH UPDATES IF LOWER CIGS APPROACH TAF SITES. STRENGTH AND AREAL
COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION WITH COLD FRONT A QUESTION WITH
CAPPING OVER REGION SO WILL LEAN TOWARD SCT COVERAGE AND NO LOWER
THAN MVFR CONDITIONS PER CLIMATOLOGY.

&&

.MARINE...FRONT CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE NORTH UP THE LAKE...BUT MID-
LAKE BUOY HAS GONE SRLY AS WELL AS RACINE AND THE NWS LAKESHORE
SITE IN KENOSHA...SO CONFIDENT THAT TIGHTENING SFC GRADIENT WILL
KEEP SCA NECESSARY FOR TODAY OVER THE NEARSHORE WATERS. MAY ADJUST
START TIME AT ISSUANCE FOR NRN ZONES. GRADIENT SLACKENS AFTER 00Z
AND WAVES SHOULD BE BELOW SCA LEVELS WITH OFFSHORE FLOW...SO
CURRENT FRI EVENING/03Z SAT/END TIME LOOKS REASONABLE. IF WINDS
ARE SLOWER TO EASE...CAN BE EXTENDED FOR LATER ISSUANCES.

&&

.MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WI...NONE.
LM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 10 PM CDT THIS EVENING FOR LMZ643>646.
