  particularly dangerous conditions include... 

    Vollrath Park in Sheboygan...

    Deland Park Beach in Sheboygan...

    Blue Harbor Beach in Sheboygan...

    North Beach in Racine...

    Wind Point Lighthouse Beach in Racine...

    Simmons Island Beach in Kenosha...

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Structural currents form along piers where longshore currents and
wave action flow into the structure.  Structural currents can
sweep you out into deeper water along the pier structure.

A Longshore current is a lake current that moves parallel to
shore.  Longshore currents can be strong enough to prevent
swimmers from being able to keep their feet on the bottom, making
it difficult to return to shore.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in
sandbars. Rip currents can sweep you into deeper water.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
1133 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2019

.UPDATE...A few light showers could still brush the far southeast.
Otherwise, the bulk of the precipitation is over. Tricky cloud
forecast with the potential for widespread stratus redeveloping as
low level northeast flow strengthens over the area during the
overnight.

&&

.AVIATION(06Z TAFS)...VFR ceilings over much of the area. Expect
sct-bkn MVFR/IFR to return to the area overnight as low level flow
becomes more north to northeast. VFR conditions to return slowly
on Saturday.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 929 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2019)

UPDATE...The showers and t-storms are ending as scheduled as the
frontal boundary slides to the southeast and the focus for more
widespread convection remains well to the south in central and
northeast IL. Clouds have cleared over the far west, where patchy
fog has developed. Where boundary layer mixing is a bit stronger,
sct-bkn stratocumulus is developing southwest WI. Low clouds have
also eroded farther north but as low level flow turns more NNE,
think more wl redevelop later tonight.

MARINE...Strong thunderstorms will continue to cause gusty winds
over the southern third of Lake Michgian for a few more hours.
Otherwise, will need to watch for patchy fog before the winds
increase from the north to northeast overnight behind a passing
cold front. North to northeast winds gusting to around 20 kts will
result in higher waves and a greater liklihood that another Small
Craft Advisory will be needed for the nearshore waters Saturday
into Sunday.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 616 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2019)

UPDATE...Numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms will
continue this evening as surface cold front and density
discontinuity slips slowly southward. Showers may last a bit
longer into the evening due to slower southward movement of front.
Still a concern for heavy rainfall affecting parts of southeast WI
this evening, but primary focus looks to remain in northern IL.

AVIATION(00Z TAFS)...MVFR/IFR ceilings associated with numerous
showers and storms and light boundary layer winds due to passing
frontal boundary. Expect these lower ceilings to lift across the
area later tonight into Saturday. Increasing onshore winds may
result in keeping lower ceilings over eastern areas a bit longer,
possibly into Saturday morning.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 341 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2019)

SHORT TERM...

Tonight...Forecast Confidence is Medium.

Drizzle is spreading across southern Wisconsin this afternoon due
to surface to 925mb warm air advection. The focus for
thunderstorms will be along the 850mb front which is located from
Green Bay to Waterloo right now. There are showers and
thunderstorms along it to our north and west and I would expect
that to fill in over the next couple of hours. While an isolated
stronger storm is possible, the surface instability will remain
well to our south and the elevated instability and shear do not
appear to be enough to be much of concern for severe storms.

Any shower and thunderstorm activity should move out of southeast
Wisconsin by late evening. Winds will turn to the north-northeast
overnight and we can expect clouds to linger for most of the
night.

Saturday... Forecast Confidence is High.

Low clouds in the morning will gradually break apart from
northwest to southeast during the afternoon as drier air drops
into southern Wisconsin. Winds will be brisk out of the northeast
and high temperatures will be in the lower 60s.

LONG TERM...

Saturday night through Monday night...Forecast Confidence is
Medium.

The frontal boundary that was south of the area for much of
Saturday will begin to lift back northward during the overnight
hours Saturday into Sunday. Models have trended a bit slower with
the push of moisture back into the area and are now delaying
precip until closer to sunrise Sunday. This initial round of rain
will be a result of strengthening WAA. Lapse rates aloft are
limited and there isn't much instability so only isolated thunder
is expected. These showers will continue off/on for much of Sunday
before shifting north by the evening hours. For what it's worth
the GFS has been the lone model in showing very little if any rain
for Sunday as much of the precip stays just south of the area. At
this point though have stuck more in line with the consensus in
showing scattered showers for Sunday.

Saturday night will be the last cool night until the latter half
of the week with lows near 50 degrees. As the WAA kicks in on
Sunday we hang onto the southerly flow and overnight lows through
the early portion of the week stay at or above 60 degrees. Expect
warming temps both Sunday and Monday with highs on Monday topping
out in the lower 80s. For reference, normals for this time of year
are in the upper 60s.

Tuesday through Thursday...Forecast Confidence is Low to Medium.

Heading into mid-week, the ridge that was over the area begins to
flatten and sink south. A couple of shortwaves will eject E/NE out
of a western US trough and ride up along the western periphery of
the ridge into the region. Models have really struggled in what
will win out between these two features, the ridge or the
shortwaves. The GFS is more progressive and doesn't linger the
potential heavy rainfall axis over the area. The ECMWF on the
other hand keeps the stronger ridge in place and stalls a front
out over the area, which puts us in a good position for heavy
rainfall next week. Due to the uncertainty have low confidence in
which solution will win out, so stuck with a blend for now.

We are in for a cool down heading into next weekend as a strong
low tracks across the north. Low temps Friday morning could dip
into the upper 30s for our NW counties and lower 40s for the rest
of the area.

AVIATION(21Z TAFS)...

Drizzle is bringing visibility down to 2 miles or less across
south central and southeast Wisconsin this afternoon. A broken line
of showers and thunderstorms along an 850mb front will slide
southeast through southern Wisconsin through mid evening. This
should scour out the IFR ceilings for a time, but expect them to
fill back in during the overnight hours as winds turn to the
north. Ceilings will gradually rise to VFR late in the morning as
they break up and eventually clear with drier air moving into the
area.

MARINE...

The gale warning will be allowed to expire at 4 pm since winds are
diminishing quickly. Look for a wind shift to the northwest and
then north from north to south this evening behind a cold front.
Expect gusty north to northeast winds to develop Saturday. These
winds should gust to 25 knots at times into Sunday. These winds
should veer south to southwest Sunday night into Monday. This will
bring building waves on the western portions of Lake Michigan
during this period. A Small Craft Advisory will be needed later
tonight into Sunday, and perhaps into Monday.

BEACHES...

A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect for Sheboygan and Ozaukee
Counties until 7 PM this evening. Gusty south to southwest winds
and building waves will bring high swim risk conditions to beaches
in these areas. A moderate swim risk will exist to the south
through the evening.

A high swim risk is expected to develop Saturday morning across
all of the area Lake Michigan beaches, lingering into Sunday
afternoon, with gusty northeast winds and building waves. Another
Beach Hazards Statement will likely be needed for this period.
