AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF EASTERN/SOUTHERN WI...NRN IA

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 243...245...

VALID 110133Z - 110330Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
243...245...CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO POSE A RISK
FOR DAMAGING WINDS...MAINLY OVER SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 245. THE
SEVERE THREAT OVER THE REMAINING VALID PORTIONS OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH 243 CONTINUES TO DIMINISH AND A DOWNSTREAM WATCH
IS NOT EXPECTED.

DISCUSSION...A LINE OF STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDED FROM
NEAR GREEN BAY SOUTH/WEST TO DANE COUNTY WI THEN WEST ACROSS
NORTHERN IA. THE GREATEST SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES OVER SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF WW 245 ...WHERE A WELL ORGANIZED BOWING SEGMENT WITH
ATTENDANT COLD POOL CONTINUES MOVING SOUTHEAST WITHIN A
MODERATE/STRONGLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS. DESPITE NOCTURNAL
COOLING/INCREASING INHIBITION THESE STORMS WILL POSE A CONTINUED
SEVERE WIND RISK...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL BRIEF QLCS
CIRCULATIONS AS RECENTLY OCCURRED OVER OUTAGAMIE COUNTY. 

FARTHER WEST ACROSS WW 243...STORMS HAVE GENERALLY WEAKENED WITH
SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT AS INHIBITION INCREASES. WEST OF WW 243...A
LOCALIZED SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES WITH CELLS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED ON
THE WESTERN FLANK OF STORM OUTFLOW. THESE STORMS WILL POSE A SEVERE
THREAT FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE MORE HOURS...BUT THE OVERALL SEVERE
THREAT OVER WW 243 SHOULD CONTINUE TO DIMINISH. THUS...A NEW WATCH
IS NOT CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED.
