Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
256 PM CDT Thu Sep 12 2019

.SHORT TERM...

Rest of this Afternoon through Tonight...Forecast Confidence is
Moderate...

The surface warm front remains to our south at this hour, but will
begin to mix north into southern Wisconsin later this afternoon
into this evening. A few storms have formed across northern
Illinois in the vicinity of the front, but this activity should
remain pretty widely scattered through this afternoon. Otherwise,
occasional light rain/drizzle, fog, and low stratus will continue
for areas north of the warm front.

More widespread activity is starting to take shape to our west
across Iowa and southern Minnesota, closer to the cold front and
surface low. We should see this organize into a line/broken line
of storms, which will move into the western portions of the
forecast area early to mid evening, and progress to the east
through midnight or so.

The line itself will have the potential of producing strong
straight line wind gusts, as well as the potential for spin-up
QLCS tornado activity, given ample low level CAPE and favorable
0-3KM bulk shear vectors. Ahead of this line, we may some some
additional storms develop, though this potential is much less
certain. Should they indeed develop, sufficient deep layer shear
will result in supercell structures, and an associated tornado
threat, especially along the warm front.

Friday...Forecast Confidence High...

Breezy west winds are expected through the day Friday, with
cooler and less humid weather. Temperatures should range from the
upper 60s west to low 70s east. Cloud cover should be variable,
with a decent stratocu deck developing by mid day.

.LONG TERM...

Friday Evening Through Saturday Night...Forecast Confidence is
Medium...

Friday evening will be mostly quiet with the low pressure system
having pushed out and the pressure gradient weakening allowing
breezy winds to subside. High pressure to the south will likely keep
the area dry through the overnight hours and through much of the day
Saturday. However, by Saturday evening we will likely see another
low pressure system push into the area with conditional storm
potential. This should be associated with a weak upper level
shortwave in addition to some low level moisture, plenty of WAA,
and a LLJ.

This is still a few days out so there is some uncertainty,
especially with respect to the availability of low level moisture
and sufficient forcing for storms. The timing will also really
impact the potential for strong to severe storms as the current
timing is a little late to take advantage of the better lapse
rates and instability that would be available during the early
evening. However, the LLJ will likely bring moderate low level
shear to the region yielding a higher potential for any storms to
become strong.

Sunday Through Thursday...Forecast Confidence is Low...

After storms push through Saturday night we will likely see quiet
weather return by Sunday morning with higher pressure moving in.
High pressure centered to the north will keep the area dry through
most of Monday before potential for showers and storms Monday
night through Thursday, primarily to the west. The precipitation
chances for this period are very uncertain with high pressure
setting up in the easter half of the U.S. and lower pressure to
the west. This could set up a quasi-stationary north-south axis of
showers and storms for a few days given southeast winds bringing
some theta-e advection. This axis seems likely to remain to the
west of our CWA at this point and generally remains very
uncertain, especially with regards to lifting mechanisms for this
period. How this plays out is certain to change some but will be a
focus for weather next week.

&&

.AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...

IFR to LIFR conditions continue across the area, with low fog and
ceilings. Conditions will improve later today, as winds increase
and a surface warm front begins to lift through the area. A few
isolated to scattered thunderstorms will also be possible this
afternoon.

Later this evening into tonight, a line of potentially strong to
severe storms is expected to move through the area from west to
east. Strong gusty winds will be possible with this line, along
with MVFR to IFR flight conditions. The line is expected to move
east of the terminals around or after midnight, though light to
moderate rain will likely continue behind the line.

Ceilings should finally start to scatter out tomorrow morning,
as gusty west to southwest winds usher in a drier airmass.

&&

.MARINE...

Easterly flow will become southeasterly and then southerly this
evening into tonight, as a warm front lifts north across the lake.
Some fog continues across the nearshore waters, but should
dissipate later this afternoon as winds increase and become more
southerly. Waves will also build later this afternoon, with a
Small Craft Advisory starting early this evening.

For the open waters, southerly gales are expected to develop over
the northern 1/3 or so of the lake this evening into the
overnight, and with winds eventually becoming more southwesterly
or westerly with time. Gales will continue through through the
morning on Friday.

Brisk westerly winds will continue through the day Friday, as low
pressure lifts through Ontario. The Small Craft Advisory will
continue for gusty winds through Friday afternoon.
