Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
303 AM CDT Sun Aug 18 2019

.SHORT TERM...

Today and Tonight. Forecast Confidence is medium...

There is some patchy fog in eastern Wisconsin. This should diminish
later this morning as high clouds move in from the west ahead of the
showers.

Two rounds of showers/storms today. 850-700mb warm air advection is
fueling showers and a few thunderstorms across southwest and south-
central Wisconsin. Expect these to continue into eastern Wisconsin,
but they will likely become more isolated. The 850 front will push
further into the region providing some forcing but there is less
instability in eastern Wisconsin.

The next line of strong to severe storms across Iowa is turning
south following the instability gradient. Can't rule out strong to
severe storms clipping southwest Wisconsin. Strong winds is the
greatest threat. Most likely some strong (sub severe) storms will
move through southern Wisconsin later this morning, weakening as
they move east. Rain is likely across all of southern Wisconsin
later this morning.

The low level jet currently into north-central Iowa will nose into
southwest Wisconsin later this morning. This will help sustain the
line of storms across southern Wisconsin. There is quite a cap in
place which should limit severe potential but there is 1000-2000 J
of MU cape and 30-40 knots of shear to some storms could be strong.
This is similar to the environment in southern MN where storms have
been weakening somewhat.

Southwest winds will gust 20 to 25 mph today then become west this
evening as a cold front moves through. A shower is possible later
today with the frontal passage. High pressure will move from NW Iowa
into western Wisconsin tonight bringing light northwest winds.

.LONG TERM...

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

Another cool night is expected Monday night as the surface high
lingers over the area. By Tuesday morning though the high will be
pushing east into Michigan with winds turning back to the south.
This will bring 60 to 70 degree dewpoints back into southern
Wisconsin Tuesday afternoon. In terms of storm chances for Tuesday
models continue to show a good deal of uncertainty in how they
handle a shortwave moving through the region. There are still
timing and strength differences that need to be worked out before
confidence can be higher in how the event will unfold.

As it stands now using a blend of guidance, the shortwave will be
crossing southern WI in the afternoon. Strong WAA ahead of this
feature will bring both a strong capping inversion but also highs
into the mid to upper 80s. Lapse rates aloft steepen and with
warm/humid airmass in place MUCAPE values end up close to 3,000+
J/kg. The one limiting factor is going to be the capping inversion
and whether parcels will be able to break through it. The 00z GFS
soundings suggest a weakening CAP by 21z Tuesday and this could
end up being the case with the latest ECMWF showing a stronger
shortwave. Showers and thunderstorms would develop in the late
afternoon along the cold front with these mainly impacting the
E/SE portions of the area. Still plenty of details that need to be
worked out but with the potential of 3,000 J/kg of CAPE, damaging
winds and large hail are possible.

By Tuesday night into Wednesday the front will have moved in and
all precip should be ending. A reinforcing front arrives on
Wednesday with cooler and drier air streaming into the area. Highs
stay in the 70s for Wednesday.

Wednesday night through Saturday...Forecast Confidence is High.

High pressure builds in from the north and will bring noticeably
drier air into the region for the rest of the work week. Under
mostly sunny skies highs will warm into the mid to upper 70s each
day but the biggest change will be felt with the overnight lows.
It's likely that models are too warm with temps as each night will
be ideal for radiational cooling and lows could end up closer to
the low 50s and wouldn't be surprised if some of the cooler
locations dip into the upper 40s. The next chance for any rain
looks to be late Saturday into Sunday.

.AVIATION(9Z TAFS)...

Two rounds of showers and some thunderstorms are expected this
morning. The first is moving through southern Wisconsin now. Another
is expected later this morning. MVFR ceilings can be expected with
the rain, along with brief drops to IFR visibility.

Southwest winds will gust 20-25 knots this afternoon. Winds should
become westerly late this afternoon then diminish at sunset.
Scattered clouds of 3-5kft are expected today. Light northwest
winds are expected tonight into Monday with clear skies.

&&

.MARINE...

South winds this morning will become southwest this afternoon. Over
the open waters, a few gusts to 30 knots are possible today,
especially across the north half. Expect gusts of 20 to 25 knots in
the nearshore. Waves will build 3 to 6 feet over the open waters
today.

This evening winds will become lighter out of the west, then become
north overnight. High pressure will move overhead Monday bringing
light and variable winds.
