Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
605 AM CDT Wed Apr 29 2020
.UPDATE...
Rain and thunderstorms continue to push into southeast Wisconsin
with pockets of heavy rain. Expect the threat for thunderstorms to
diminish later this morning as we lose CAPE. A majority of the
rainfall is still expected to track across southeast Wisconsin.
Flooding will be a concern mainly for Walworth, Waukesha,
Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha counties today and tonight.
&&
.AVIATION(12Z TAFS)...
Rain and thunderstorms continue to impact sites across southeast
Wisconsin. Expect the threat for lightning to diminish around 15Z.
Showers will continue into tonight across Wisconsin. LIFR and IFR
ceilings and visibilities will slowly improve throughout the day
to IFR and MVFR. Strong northerly winds are expected this
afternoon and into the overnight hours with gusts around 30-35
knots.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 410 AM CDT WED APR 29 2020)
SHORT TERM...
TODAY AND TONIGHT - Confidence...Medium to High.
Rain and gusty winds are expected today as the low currently
centered over the Wisconsin/Illinois border slowly pushes east. The
best lift will be associated with an area of positive vorticity
advection that stretches across southeast Wisconsin throughout the
day. There is a deep moisture profile today so these showers will be
efficient with rainfall amounts around 1-2 inches expected east of a
Janesville to Fond du Lac line through tonight. There is a concern
for some flooding due to saturated soils and rainfall amounts
yesterday of 1-2 inches across portions of southeast Wisconsin. With
the observed and forecast conditions have therefore issued a Flood
Watch for far southeast Wisconsin. Rain showers will continue to
develop throughout the morning and into the afternoon. A few rumbles
of thunder will be possible during the morning hours. Most of the
rainfall is expected to fall before 7pm, but additional rain amounts
around a half an inch will be possible for far southeast Wisconsin
through tonight.
The ongoing reduced visibilities should improve throughout the day
as strong winds develop with the tight pressure gradient.
Northerly gusts around 40 mph are expected this afternoon and into
tonight. These strong winds will be a concern for any temporary
outdoor structure.
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY - Forecast Confidence...Medium.
Will hang onto some -shra chances on Thursday due to lingering mid-
level deformation over mainly central and eastern areas. The upper
low over the lower Michigan area finally gets nudged east-southeast
later on Thursday into Thursday night, so expect a diminishing trend
of any lingering showers. Breezy north winds will continue on
Thursday, but should not be as strong as today. Passing high
pressure will quiet the winds Thursday night with a much more
pleasant day likely for Friday. Onshore winds will keep lakeshore
areas cooler, but inland areas should rise into the 60s.
LONG TERM...
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY - Forecast Confidence...Medium.
Still looks like we'll have a couple days in a row of milder
temperatures across southern WI due to a period of more zonal mid-
level steering winds. Some areas may reach the magic 70 degree mark
on Saturday. However the dry and mild weather will be alas, short-
lived as the zonal flow gives way to several amplifying short waves
across the northern CONUS into southern Canada for the Sunday
through Tuesday time period. First mid-level wave may bring some
showers to the area later Saturday night into Sunday, with another
batch of showers looking more likely around Tuesday as a stronger
short wave and low pressure trof moves through the region. We may
be able to eek out a cool but dry day on Monday but temperatures
will be noticeably cooler, especially by the lake.
AVIATION(09Z TAF UPDATE)...
IFR and LIFR ceilings and visibilities will continue this morning,
but as winds increase expect visibilities and ceilings to improve.
LIFR and IFR ceilings and visibilities will linger through most of
the day along far eastern Wisconsin.
Strong northerly winds are expected today with gusts around 35 knots
this afternoon and overnight.
Rain showers are expected throughout the day today with the best
focus in far southeast Wisconsin. Can't rule out a few thunderstorms
in far southeast Wisconsin this morning.
MARINE...
Fog will gradually lift this morning as northerly winds build
through the day. A tight pressure gradient will develop as the low
slowly shifts east. Gales up to 40 knots will develop from north to
south along with high waves. These conditions are expected to
continue through the overnight and into Thursday. A Gale Warning is
in effect through Thursday afternoon. Quiet conditions return Friday
and continue into the weekend.
