Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
1209 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
(Issued 1209 CDT Mon Aug 10 2020)

Updated for SPC Moderate Risk. Risk for high end wind gusts,
particularly for Lafayette, Green, Rock, Walworth, Racine and
Kenosha Counties.

Active afternoon of weather coming up for the region. Currently
monitoring a nasty line of storms plowing through Central IA.
Numerous measured reports of winds in excess of 60mph, with
Des Moines recently posting a 75mph gust. The environment out
ahead of this line only gets better instability-wise. As a result,
SPC has included counties adjacent to the IL state line in a MDT
risk and areas along/south of I-94 in a PDS Severe Thunderstorm
watch due to the potential for high end wind gusts. As with
anything, there are some questions as to how things will unfold
north of the I-94 corridor.

Currently, the most vigorous line of storms is just east of
Des Moines and moving eastward. Additional deep convection is
percolating across northeastern IA. Instability is no issue with
lifted indices pushing -10. Mixed layer CAPE is already well in
excess of 2000 J/kg and poised to increase to around 3000 J/kg in
the next few hours. In addition, it appears we will see an uptick
in low level CAPE. As we continue to see convection mature and
congeal on the northern portion of this line, this will be a
helpful ingredient for organization. Finally, low level theta-e
differences are in excess of 25 K and DCAPE values in excess of
1000 J/kg support the risk of severe wind gusts.

Shear is still somewhat marginal, but largely a moot point as the
atmosphere has shown its cards. 0-3km shear is lacking as well,
though it is oriented from west to east and with increasing low
level CAPE, it does warrant watching for potential mesovortex
development and the potential for a few spin up tornadoes.
Overall, a more outflow dominate line is the preferred mode, but
anywhere this line remains balanced will be an area to watch for
mesovortex development.

Bottom line - the wind threat is greatest with the incoming line,
highlighted by areas in the moderate risk (Lafayette, Green,
Rock, Walworth, Racine and Kenosha Counties). The risk toward
counties in the I-94 corridor is more conditional on storm
organization and cold pool conglomeration into a linear mode in
the next few hours. The PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch handles the
areas at greatest risk well. Areas further north can still expect
thunderstorm development and a few strong/severe storms with wind
gusts the primary concern.

.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 340 AM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020)

Today and Tonight:

There is a shallow low level inversion this morning, which could
cause some patchy fog to develop in low lying areas and river
valleys. Any fog that develops this morning should begin to
dissipate shortly after sunrise.

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop and move across
southern Wisconsin from late this morning into the evening hours.
These thunderstorms will be associated with the passage of the
cold front. A few strong/severe storms will be possible, with
instability pushing 3000+ J/kg and deep layer bulk shear around 20
to 25 knots. There remains some uncertainty with the timing and
areal coverage of these thunderstorms, due to the only forcing
being associated with the cold front.

Quiet conditions are expected to return by later tonight, as
drier air and high pressure moves into the region. The high
pressure will bring clearing skies and light winds. With calm
conditions expected overnight, it's not out of the question for
some fog to develop.

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 340 AM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020)

Tuesday through Wednesday:

Models are in pretty good agreement with high pressure lingering
over the region Tuesday into Tuesday night, then slowly moving to
the east on Wednesday. This should bring a period of dry
conditions and warm temperatures to the area. Lake breezes should
occur by each afternoon near Lake Michigan.

Wednesday Night through Thursday Night:

Models are generally showing a broad 500 mb trough developing over
the middle Mississippi River Valley northward into Wisconsin
Wednesday night into Thursday night. The main southerly low level
jet feed of moisture should remain west of the area during this
period. Forecast soundings do suggest some instability develops
by Thursday.

The upward vertical motion fields are rather weak during this
time, so uncertainty remains with if any showers and storms
develop. Ensembles also show very low QPF occurring during these
periods. For now, left small PoPs going for this period, though it
may trend drier if the main low level jet feed remains to the
west, and upward vertical motion fields remain weak. Warm and
somewhat more humid conditions are expected during this period.

Friday Through Sunday:

Fairly large amount of uncertainty exists during this period
across the area, as differences abound between the GFS and ECMWF.
The GFS pushes the weak 500 mb trough east of the area Friday
night, with generally zonal flow occurring over the weekend. It
does have a vorticity maximum moving east through the region by
Sunday.

The ECMWF has a cutoff 500 mb low that sits over Iowa and Illinois
Friday into Saturday, before shifting east Saturday night and
Sunday. It then brings another shortwave trough southeast into the
region for Sunday. Thus, the ECMWF is wetter during this period,
though both have QPF in the area Sunday. The ensembles are
generally showing very low QPF and PoPs for most of this period,
reflecting the uncertainty.

For now, kept blended model PoPs with rather low confidence on
what will occur during this period. Temperatures remain warm with
humid conditions lingering.

.AVIATION...
(Issued 1021 AM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020)

For the 18Z TAFs:

IFR to MVFR ceilings will linger over the next few hours. Ceilings
should improve as we head into the afternoon, but scattered
thunderstorms are expected to develop and move across southern
Wisconsin with the cold front. There is a concern for storms to be
severe with gust up to 60 knots and maybe some quarter sized hail.
Expect flight conditions to deteriorate to MVFR/IFR values within
any thunderstorm. Once the cold front passes northwest winds and
VFR conditions move in.

.MARINE...
(Issued 340 AM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020)

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to move across the lake
from around midday into this evening, with the passage of a cold
front. A few strong/severe storms are possible during this
period. Southerly winds are expected to persist through the
morning hours, before shifting to northwesterly by this evening.
Quiet conditions are expected to return by later tonight, as high
pressure builds into the area.
