AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
245 PM CDT THU JUL 22 2010
OBVIOUS FORECAST CONCERN IS WITH HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL AND ANY
RESULTING FLOODING.
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX THAT ROLLED THROUGH THIS MORNING DROPPED A
WIDESPREAD 1 TO 1.5 INCHES OF RAIN OVER THE WRN 2/3 OF THE CWA.
THE AREA NORTH OF MILWAUKEE ALONG THE LAKE RECEIVED THE LIGHTEST
AMOUNTS...1/2 INCH OR SO. SO THE GROUND GOT GOOD AND SOAKED OVER
MUCH OF THE AREA.
.TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.
WE ARE IN THE RECOVERY AND REGENERATION PHASE THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THE EARLY EVENING. A SFC LOW IS LOCATED OVER SOUTHEAST MN WITH A
WARM FRONT STRETCHED TO THE SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN AND
MOVING NORTHEAST THROUGH THE CWA. A COMPLICATED CONFIGURATION OF
THE COLD FRONT AND OUTFLOW FROM THE MORNING CONVECTION STRETCHES
FROM NORTH OF PRAIRIE DU CHIEN IN WRN WISCONSIN...WEST ACROSS
NORTHERN IOWA. SATELLITE AND RADAR TRENDS SHOW THIS E/W CDFNT IS
BEGINNING TO BUBBLE UP. ATMOSPHERE IS VERY MOIST WITH DWPNTS IN
THE MID 70S AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 2.3 INCHES OVER THE
AREA. RECOVERY IS HAPPENING QUICKLY. BELIEVE WE WILL SEE TRAINING
CONVECTION AS STORMS DEVELOP ALONG THE BNDRY...WHILE THE MEAN
FLOW TAKES THEM EAST ACROSS THE CWA. EVENTUALLY...COLD POOL
DYNAMICS SHOULD OVERTAKE THE PROCESS AND WE SHOULD SEE THE
CONVECTION DIVE SOUTH OF THE STATE LINE. THIS SHOULD OCCUR BY MID
TO LATE EVENING.
UNTIL THEN...LOOKS LIKE MORE HEAVY RAIN AND POTENTIAL FOR FLASH
FLOODING THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HAVE ALREADY STRETCHED IN
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL MIDNIGHT. CONSIDERING ADJUSTING THE
COVERAGE TO SHARPEN UP THE FOCUS. MAY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE SEE
THE MAIN INITIATION AND MOVEMENT OF THE CONVECTION UPSTREAM.
PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH BY OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT
ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN.
.FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFINDENCE MEDIUM.
CONVECTION MOVES SOUTH TONIGHT AND SHOULD PUT THE FOCUS FOR ANY
CONVECTION DURING THIS PERIOD SOUTH OF WISCONSIN. WILL HANG ONTO A
SMALL CHANCE AS RESIDUAL INSTABILITY REMAINS HIGH AND A ROGUE
TRIGGER COULD SET OFF A SHOWER OR STORM.
.FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.
VIGOROUS MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE APPROACHES WITH SFC CYCLOGENESIS
UPSTREAM. GOOD SHOT OF WARM AIR ADVECTION LIKELY TO RESULT IN
ANOTHER LARGE MCS THAT ROLLS THROUGH HERE LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY MORNING. DIURNAL TREND SHOULD RESULT IN PRECIP MOVING OUT
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND THEN WE ENTER INTO A QUIET TREND FOR A
COUPLE OF DAYS.
.SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.
HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN. HAVE A DRY PERIOD HERE...BUT REMAINS WARM
AND ON THE HUMID SIDE.
&&
.AVIATION...COMPLEX FORECAST INTO FRIDAY. STILL PLENTY OF
STRATUS...SOME INTO THE LIFR CATEGORY LINGERING IN THE WAKE OF THE
MCS AND NORTH OF THE SURFACE WARM FRONT. WARM FRONT NUDGING INTO FAR
SOUTHERN WI. KRFD HAS GONE VFR. SO WARM FRONTAL PASSAGE THE KEY TO
SCOURING OUT THE PERSISTENT TYPE LOW CLOUDS...HOWEVER RENEWED
CONVECTION EXPECTED WITH INSTABILITY AXIS INTO SW WI WHERE TEMPS/DEW
POINTS ON THE RISE. SO AREAS THAT LOSE THE STRATUS WILL LIKELY SEE A
RETURN TO THESE CONDITIONS IN AND AROUND THE CONVECTION THOUGH
EVOLUTION STILL NOT CERTAIN. WILL REFINE TIMING OF NEXT STORMS AS
TRENDS BECOME MORE CLEAR. FOR NOW USING THE VICINITY IDEA.
&&
.MARINE...PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENING UP A BIT AHEAD OF WARM FRONT.
BEEN SEEING SOME GUSTS CLOSE TO CRITERIA. BORDERLINE CONDITIONS BUT
WILL GO AHEAD AND HOIST A SMALL CRAFT UNTIL 9Z FOR NOW.
&&
.MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
