Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
400 PM CDT Thu Aug 27 2020

.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 400 PM CDT Thu Aug 27 2020)

Tonight through Friday night:

There are many boundaries present across central and southern WI
this afternoon, all of which are acting as focal points for
thunderstorms. The most pronounced boundary is along a surface
front across central WI. There is another boundary just to its
south that is most active for storms at this moment. The origin of
this boundary is less certain, but it appears that it could have
come from a gravity wave somewhere up north- we've been watching
it migrate southward throughout the day. Then there's the lake
breeze boundary. Storms are firing just east of the lake breeze
boundary but right along the gravity wave boundary and then
tracking out over the lake. There is yet another boundary along
the WI/IL border that is identified by mid level clouds, but so
far only a few sprinkles developed along that one today.

We have plenty of CAPE and the shear is highest over the northern
forecast area, and that is where we are seeing the stronger
storms. Storms are tracking eastward along these boundaries, so
training storms are a concern for flash flooding where we had a
lot of rainfall on Tuesday, in the Green Lake, Fond du Lac, and
Dodge Counties.

The current storms should diminish in coverage later this evening.
Then we are expecting them to perk up again late tonight as the
low level jet develops. Severe storms with large hail and damaging
winds and flash flooding will be possible. An MCS is expected to
develop over southwest MN this evening and track into southern WI
Friday morning. This will be additional forcing to keep scattered
convection going into mid Friday morning.

We could have a lull in precip midday Friday. There is a chance
that clouds will not clear and we would not become unstable
(the 18Z HRRR suggests this). If we succeed in clearing out, we
will become very unstable with the warm moist air in place,
priming our environment for the frontal passage. The cold front
will move through late Friday afternoon through Friday evening and
trigger more thunderstorms. With the potentially unstable
environment and high shear, these have the capability to be severe
with hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. Thus, the expanded
enhanced risk for Day 2 from SPC makes sense.

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 400 PM CDT Thu Aug 27 2020)

Saturday through Thursday:

Saturday and Sunday will be quiet and pleasant, with high
pressure in control. The high temperatures are expected to be
right around normal, in the mid to upper 70s. Dewpoints will be
in the more comfortable range as well, in the 50s. 

There is a more robust upper trough that will roll across the
Northern Plains and Great Lakes Monday afternoon and night,
although the system will be weakening as it reaches southern WI.
This will bring our next round of showers and thunderstorms to
our area. That frontal boundary may hang up across southern WI and
northern IL until Tuesday night as another upper trough swings
across, so we continue to have small chances for storms.

Cyclonic flow aloft will keep us cool through much of the week.
Small chances of showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder will
continue through this period.

Cronce

&&

.AVIATION...
(Issued 400 PM CDT Thu Aug 27 2020)

A frontal boundary over central WI and another weaker boundary
just to it south are the focus points for thunderstorms this
afternoon. Storm activity may diminish this evening but then ramp
back up late tonight through Friday mid to late Friday morning. We
may see another lull in thunderstorm activity midday Friday. The
last round of storms is expected along a cold front Friday
afternoon into the evening. Some storms may produce heavy rain and
severe wind/hail/tornado.

Cronce

&&

.MARINE...
(Issued 400 PM CDT Thu Aug 27 2020)

A front draped across central Lake Michigan will continue to be
the focus for showers and thunderstorms through Friday morning.
Low pressure tracking across central WI on Friday will bring
periods of showers and thunderstorms that will affect Lake
Michigan through Friday night.
