Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 4:00 AM CDT, 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 400 AM CDT Mon Apr 10 2017 .Today and Tonight...Forecast confidence medium to high. Sct showers and tstorms will continue to move newd across far srn WI and ern WI through about 15z as a shortwave trough passage occurs. Elevated CAPE up to 2000 J/KG will support the possibility of large hail. There will be a break in the precip. from late morning into the very early afternoon until another vorticity maximum approaches from the sw while the cold front will shift south from central WI. MLCAPEs will rise up to 2000 J/KG in the southeast with lesser amounts toward wrn WI. Deep layer unidirectional shear of 40-50 kts is expected. Tstorms will erupt with the aforementioned forcing mechanisms with highest concentrations of storms over sern WI. The Slight Risk of SVR storms looks good given the CAPE, shear, and steep mid level lapse rates. The cold front is expected to accelerate down Lake MI enhancing the convergence for storms but also rapidly cooling the airmass over far ern WI from middle to late afternoon. A strong shortwave trough approaching from the west will then move across central and srn WI tonight with continued chances of showers. Cold advection will cool temps to 35-40F by Tue AM. .TUESDAY - Confidence...Medium Much cooler airmass in place with surface/850 lows to our east and low level thermal trough in place. Lingering low level troughing and cool pool should result in a good deal of cloud cover with this regime. .WEDNESDAY - Confidence...Medium With a surface high shifting to our east a low level return flow will set up ahead of the next system. Showers are expected to remain to our north or northwest through the day. Would likely see some increase in cloud cover during the afternoon. 925 temps will get a boost with the renewed southerly flow so temps will get a boost over the cool day Tuesday. .WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY - Confidence...Medium Mid level shortwave energy combined with low level moisture influx and an inverted surface trough feature will all result in high rain chances Wednesday night with some of this lingering into Thursday. .THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY - Confidence...Low The GEM and ECMWF are showing a more robust solution as it relates to precip associated with a WAA regime. The GFS is essentially dry with this or at least holds this off into Friday night. .FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT - Confidence...Medium There appears better consensus for a low moving into WI with an initial warm front generating shra/tsra and then a trailing cold front producing more shra/tsra heading into later Saturday evening. .SUNDAY - Confidence...Low to Medium Looks like cooler and drier wx sets up in the wake of the frontal boundary. However the GFS is rather quick to bring the front back into the area Sunday night while the GEM/ECMWF keep things dry with high pressure ridging in. && .AVIATION...Coming soon. && .MARINE...A Small Craft Advisory is in effect until noon for breezy sly winds and high waves. Another Small Craft Advisory may be needed for this afternoon and evening for brisk nly winds and high waves with a cold frontal passage. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. LM...Small Craft Advisory until noon CDT today for LMZ643>646. && Today/Tonight and Aviation/Marine...Gehring Tuesday through Sunday...Collar
