Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 3:18 PM CDT, 5 hours 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 318 PM CDT Sat Jun 17 2017 .DISCUSSION... .TONIGHT and SUNDAY...Forecast Confidence is medium... A few showers are pushing into the region this afternoon with a weak shortwave that will move across the region late this afternoon. Isolated showers and maybe a thunderstorm is possible this evening with instability lingering and an 850mb thermal ridge nudging into the region. A surface front is departing the state keeping the threat for severe storms further south across Illinois. A strong upper trough will approach the region tonight and upper divergence increases in response. A surface low will move into northern WI. There is a chance for precip and thunder with these features later this evening. Thunder chances diminish after midnight. Sunday morning, precip chances will be more toward central WI, closer to the surface low. Temperatures will be cooler on Sunday with the passage of the upper trough. Scattered cumulus expected during the afternoon, while closer to central WI it may be overcast. West winds will be a little gusty. Cyclonic flow will linger and low level lapse rates will be steep so can't rule out a few showers and maybe a thunderstorm popping up in the afternoon. Monday and Tuesday...Forecast confidence is medium. An upper level trough will be drifting across the area during the period. The cooler air aloft will combine with the peak heating of the afternoon to produce scattered showers and possible thunderstorms primarily in the afternoon and early evening. No severe weather expected. Temps will remain much cooler...in the 70s. Wednesday through Saturday...Forecast confidence is medium. Once the upper trough moves off, we get into a fast, more zonal flow. A few short waves will clip through the region in this faster flow. One comes through Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night and another on Friday. These will bring a chance of showers and storms. At this point, there doesn't appear to be much concern for severe weather. Temperatures remain at or just below normal through the end of the week. && .AVIATION(21Z TAFS)... There is a small chance for some showers and maybe a thunderstorm this evening. Lower ceilings and visibilities are possible with any storms, but otherwise VFR conditions are expected through tonight. Ceilings of 1000-2000 are possible Sunday morning, becoming 3000-4000ft during the afternoon. West winds will gust 20-25 knots on Sunday. && .MARINE... Winds and waves will remain below small craft levels. West winds will gust around 20 knots on Sunday. See some transient fog on webcams. West winds later tonight should scour this out. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. LM...None. && Tonight/Sunday and Aviation/Marine...Marquardt Sunday Night through Saturday...Davis
