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

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
(Issued 302 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020)

A vicious line of storms continues to move eastward just south of
the WI/IL state line across northern IL this afternoon. By far
the most intense severe weather has been reported with that line
with measured wind gusts exceeding 100 mph in a few spots in Iowa.
Luckily, so far, this line continues a steady trek to the east,
staying just south of southern WI.

Additional thunderstorms that developed in northeastern IA and
southwestern WI were able to attain severe status with numerous
reports of wind damage, but the severity has yet to translate to
the east thus far. Storm mode has been mixed, in large part to
effective deep layer shear around 30 to 35 kt and smaller scale
influences of the bookend vortex to our south. We have seen
everything from multicell, to linear, to even a transient supercell.
In spite of being instability dominate, we have not observed
outflow dominance with any lines just yet. In spite of marginal
0-3km shear, linear evolutions have produced a few decent, though
transient, mesovorticies and that potential continues with any
balanced updraft, downdraft convergence zones. Messy mode and cell
mergers have been the name of the game thus far.

Observed trends indicate the majority of the worst severe will likely
remain just to our south. Will be closely watching the behavior
of the bookend vortex to our south. Especially if there is any
little northward jog to the dominate line to our south as we dont
have a lot of buffer to sneak into far southern portions of
Rock/Walworth/Kenosha counties.

Overall, the severe risk in our area remains messy/transient. The
atmosphere remain unstable, more than sufficient MLCAPE (in
excess of 3000 J/kg) and low level CAPE (in excess of 100 J/kg).
Shear will remain marginal (effective deep layer 35kt and 0-3km
shear from west to east in the 20 to 25 kt range). Wind remains
the main risk, though given the messy mode, signals will be
transient. A sharp eye will remain on the line to our south for
any northward budge.

.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 302 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020)

Tonight and Tuesday:

As thunderstorms gradually wrap up with the passage of the cold
front wind will shift to the northwest. Cloud cover is expected to
decrease overnight as high pressure builds in resulting in
pleasant conditions Tuesday. Sunny skies will allow temperatures
to warm into the low 80s, but temperatures could be a little
cooler by the lake as the lake breeze kicks in this afternoon.

RAH

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 302 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020)

Wednesday through Thursday Night:

High pressure will slowly move to the east on Wednesday. This
should bring a period of dry conditions and warm temperatures to
the area. Lake breezes should occur by the afternoon near Lake
Michigan.

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 302 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020)

For the 18Z TAFs:

Thunderstorms are currently moving through southern Wisconsin with
additional thunderstorms possible along the front as it moves
southeast. There are still some MVFR ceilings holding on along
southern Wisconsin with VFR conditions elsewhere. As thunderstorms
move through expect ceilings and visibilities to drop to MVFR/IFR
values. Some stronger storms could produce gusts up to 60 knots
and quarter size hail. The best potential is south of I-94. Once
the front passes winds will shift to the northwest with increasing
ceilings and dry conditions moving in.

Light northwest winds will continue into Tuesday with mostly
clear skies. A lake breeze is expected to develop Tuesday
afternoon along Lake Michigan.

RAH

&&

.MARINE...
(Issued 302 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020)

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to move across the lake
this afternoon and evening, with the passage of a cold front. A
few strong/severe storms are possible during this period with the
best chances over far southern Lake Michigan. Main concern would
be strong winds 50-70 knots and quarter size hail. Once the front
passes southerly winds will shift to the northwest and continue
overnight. High pressure then builds in overnight into Tuesday
with southwest winds over the northern half of the lake and
northerly winds over the southern half of the lake.
