Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
316 PM CDT Wed Jul 3 2019

.SHORT TERM...
This Afternoon and Tonight...Forecast Confidence is Medium...

A stationary boundary extends from the Dells SE towards Chicago
and convergence along this boundary is helping to kick off a few
showers. However, many of these are struggling to get going and
looking at soundings it appears there is a bit more drier air
in the mid levels that is getting entrained into the storms. As we
continue to heat up CAPE should increase to around 2,500-3,000
J/kg and this stronger buoyancy should be enough to allow a few
isolated stronger storms to get going. Gusty winds and heavy rain
will be primary impacts with any storms this afternoon. Off to the
west and southwest storms are developing in a better environment
and these should approach southern Wisconsin this evening. Not
overly confident we'll see these storms make it into the area but
have kept some chance PoPs in our western counties.

The easterly winds off the lake have kept a layer of fog along the
shore today but the flow has been weak enough that fog hasn't set
it. Satellite imagery would suggest the fog is actually thinning a
bit but this could be a result of the better mixing this
afternoon. It's possible that once we lose heating and we decouple
the fog redevelops and have kept some patchy fog in the forecast
for tonight.

Thursday...Forecast Confidence is Medium...

The high pressure that was over northern Michigan today shifts off
to the east and winds become more southerly by Thursday morning. A
shortwave lifting N/NE out of the Plains will cross northern
Wisconsin during the day. A slightly more favorable environment
will exist for thunderstorms tomorrow and the shortwave provides
just the right amount of lift to allow for more scattered storms.
In terms of instability it'll be similar to what wave seen the
past few days (upwards of 3,000 J/kg), which is more than enough
for gusty winds and small hail to be hazards. Low level lapse
rates look weaker and with PW's closer to 1.8 inches, storms may
just end up more heavy rainers than able to generate the stronger
wind gusts. As we head into the afternoon and into the evening
hours the shortwave kicks east and we get into a region of weak
subsidence, which could help to bring a quicker end to storms
tomorrow afternoon.

Friday - Confidence...Medium to High
A strung out cold front will be positioned across central
Wisconsin as a southern stream cut off mid level short wave trough
and faster moving northern stream mid level trough propagate into
the region on Friday. With surface dew points remaining in the
low 70s and cool air aloft, it will develop an uncapped, fat CAPE
profile in the afternoon Friday as surface temperatures warm into
the mid 80s. Low to mid level winds will remain fairly weak at
less than 20kts below 500mb, so wind shear is not looking to be
aiding in organizing the convection that looks to develop ahead of
the boundary in the afternoon. With there being no cap and some
broad lift moving in ahead of the trough and cold front, am
expecting scattered showers/storms to develop across southern WI
with outflow from the first round of storms to kick off more
storms through the afternoon.

.LONG TERM...
Saturday through Wednesday - Confidence...Medium
Three days of dry weather is forthcoming as high pressure builds
into the area. High temperatures will drop into the mid 70s to low
80s, with lower humidity levels entering the forecast late
Saturday into Sunday as dewpoint temperatures drop. Northeast
winds will also contribute to the cooler feeling.

Weak low pressure located over northeastern Manitoba on Monday
night will push east and to our north throughout this forecast
period. As the low progresses, a more humid air mass will build
back into the area. Chances for showers/storms enter the forecast
late Tuesday through Wednesday as the front attached to the low
is being dragged through.

&&

.AVIATION(21Z TAFS)...
VFR conditions continue for locations
along the lake as cooler and drier air moving off the lake have
kept clouds at bay. Along and west of KMSN a stationary boundary
has been the focus for isolated showers and storms and brief
periods of MVFR cigs. Light winds and some clearing overnight
could allow for patchy fog to develop but confidence is low. A
weak system moving to our north for Thursday will bring showers
and storms to the terminals at the end of the TAF period.

&&

.MARINE...
High pressure over northern Michigan will keep winds light and
wave heights low into the weekend. A system passing to the north
on Friday will switch winds to the north as a weak frontal
boundary sags south. Periods of fog are possible into the weekend
as warm and moist air lingers over the cooler lake. There are
chances for storms each day through Saturday.
