Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
224 PM CDT Sun Aug 26 2018

.SHORT TERM...
Rest of this Afternoon through Tonight..Forecast Confidence is
Medium...

Clusters of thunderstorms are expected to move into the western
portions of the forecast area around 4 PM or so. These should then
move east with time through the evening hours. Additional
development can be expected along various outflow boundaries,
making for what will likely be a rather messy evening of
convection. Instability is quite high across the area, so once
convection does develop, there will be an associated wind gust
threat. There will also be a threat for large hail, though this
will be mitigated somewhat by high freezing levels. The tornado
threat is low but non-zero, with eastward surging line segments
and boundary interactions as the most likely features from which
to see a brief tornado.

Additional thunderstorm development is then expected late this
evening into the overnight as the low level jet noses into the
area. The most widespread activity late tonight should be across
central Wisconsin, though a few scattered storms may develop
across the southern portion of the state.

Along with the threat for severe weather, heavy rain and flooding
remain a significant concern. With PWATs in excess of 2 inches,
lots of CAPE and high freezing levels, rainfall rates will be very
high with any convection this afternoon. Even with progressive
movement, today's storms could easily produce a quick 1-2" of rain
in less than an hour. The flood and flash flood threat will be
greatest across the central and southern forecast area, where
soils are most saturated from last week's rainfall.

Monday through Tuesday Morning - Confidence...Medium

Another hot and humid day is on tap for Monday as southwesterly
flow continues across southern Wisconsin. Appears as though there
will be some leftover showers extending from central Lake Michigan
southwest through southwest Wisconsin Monday morning downstream
from an elongated mid level shortwave trough. Once this convection
clears by late morning, temperatures should quickly rise while
surface dew points linger in the low to mid 70s. Heat indices max
out around the mid 90s in the afternoon, so a heat advisory is not
looking likely at this point.

Convection should then initiate in northwest Wisconsin Monday
afternoon and push east-southeast into the low level moisture
transport which will be nosing up into northern Wisconsin. The
main question is with how far south that MCS makes it and whether
it just stays up in northern WI along the strengthening LLJ. Given
the strong low level winds, unstable air mass feeding into it
(~2000 J/kg 0-3km MUCAPE) and decent 0-6km effective shear of
30-40kts, can not rule out the chance of severe thunderstorms for
southern Wisconsin, mainly on Monday night. Damaging winds, large
hail and heavy rainfall would be the main concerns. Precipitable
water will be up around 2", so some localized flash flooding is
certainly possible if the MCS holds up in any areas.

.LONG TERM...
Tuesday through Wednesday Night - Confidence...Medium
Fairly consistent idea between the 26.12z guidance in bringing the
cold front into the region on Tuesday but each model has it's own
idea of where the convection will initiate. With the ingredients
for severe weather will still be there with decent mid level winds
and an unstable air mass in place ahead of the front. Just a
matter of what the previous night's convection does and where
boundaries set up. What happens on Wednesday is a bit up in the
air as the previous runs of the NAM/GFS/ECMWF had the front well
to the east but now the 26.12z NAM/ECMWF bring another shortwave
through the mid level flow and bring another round of convection
into the region.

Thursday through Saturday - Confidence...Medium to Low
With ridging in place for Thursday and Friday, it appears as
though there will be a few dry and seasonal days in there before
the front lifts back to the north by next weekend. Saturday
appears to be the next best chance for storms with the front again
cleared by Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...

Thunderstorms are expected to affect the area this evening. There
will likely be a prolonged period of scattered activity from late
afternoon or early evening into the mid to late evening hours. Did
indicate via TEMPO groups the most likely timeframe for
thunderstorm impacts, which look to be during the early to mid
evening hours.

Outside of thunderstorm impacts, winds will start to increase from
the southwest later tonight and tomorrow. A few gusts around 20
knots are possible tomorrow mid day through the afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...

Areas of Dense Fog will remain possible into early evening,
especially north of North Point Light. Fog will be most widespread
near open waters.

Scattered thunderstorms are likely this evening, and a few could
be strong or severe, with gusty winds. Frequent lightning is also
expected.

Southwest winds will gust to near Small Craft Advisory levels on
Monday and Tuesday. There will be additional thunderstorm chances
late Monday night and again on Tuesday.

A cold front will sweep through the area late Tuesday, with high
pressure building into the area on Wednesday and Thursday.
