Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Thursday
Issued at 325 PM CDT Wed Jul 14 2021

The main focus in the short-term portion of the forecast will be on
the severe weather and heavy rainfall potential through this
evening.

This afternoon: The line of convection lifting east/northeastward
through the area, will continue to pose a heavy rainfall threat
through late this afternoon. The greatest threat (although fairly
low) for damaging winds will be across east-central Wisconsin,
where the better instability and instability gradient is in place.
Additional strong to isolated severe thunderstorms will be
possible along a cold front/boundary across northern portions of
Wisconsin. Isolated small hail, but very heavy rainfall will be
possible with the storms across the north. The SPC has shifted the
greatest threats for severe weather to the south of northeast
Wisconsin with the latest update. Rainfall rates will likely
exceed 1 to 2 inches an hour, which could lead to some
flooding/flash flooding potential especially in urban areas.

Tonight: A surface low will lift northeast from central Wisconsin to
the eastern UP, dragging a cold front through the area from east to
west. At the same time, the LLJ is expected to increase to around 40
to 50 kts, with the nose of the LLJ being across east-central WI.
The associated/increased forcing ahead of the front and on the
convergence at the nose of the LLJ, will lead to increased rainfall
intensity and coverage. Again, the main focus appears to be across
east-central and possibly far northeast Wisconsin through late this
evening. PWATs are expected to jump up to around 2 inches across the
area or around 200% of normal across east-central WI, which again
could lead to some flooding concerns as rainfall rates increase.
Severe potential looks to be slightly lower tonight as most of the
instability is expected to remain across southern portions of the
state. Initial thoughts are that the atmosphere across northern
portions of WI will have trouble recovering from the thunderstorms
this afternoon/early evening and the trailing stratiform on the back
side. Low-level winds do increase, but overall instability looks to
be around 1000 J/kg for nearly all of northeast WI. The greatest
risk of any severe approaching our CWA would be the southern tier of
counties. Again, wind and very heavy rainfall winds would be the
main threat from any more organized thunderstorm activity.
Overnight low are expected to be in the 50s north-central to the
low to mid 60s elsewhere.

Thursday: The low and cold front are expected to depart to the
northeast and east as a surface ridge builds across the area. This
will allow the precipitation to diminish from west to east
throughout the day. East-central and far northeast WI will be the
last to see the precipitation end, which may actually linger through
or around 18Z. Otherwise, high temperatures are expected to be in
the mid to upper 70s.

.LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Wednesday
Issued at 325 PM CDT Wed Jul 14 2021

The surface high pressure system is expected to remain in control of
northeast Wisconsin's weather through the weekend and even into
early next week. This will lead to mainly precipitation-free
conditions along with steadily warming temperatures as an upper-
level ridge begins to build across the central CONUS. Temperatures
will warm from the 70s and 80s Friday and Saturday to the upper 80s
and low 90s Sunday through the middle of next week.

.AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1251 PM CDT Wed Jul 14 2021

TAF sites will all start out VFR; however, a line of thunderstorms
will impact each of the TAF sites within the first 4 to 5 hours of
TAF issuance. A secondary round of convection could impact eastern
TAF sites during the early evening hours around 02Z. Made minor
adjustments on the timing of both lines of convection. Otherwise,
expect MVFR conditions once convection arrives, with some IFR
conditions possible in the heaviest rainfall. Similar to earlier
forecasts, aviation forecast guidance kept dropping ceilings to
IFR tonight, but this again seemed a bit too pessimistic at this
time. The best chance of that happening would be across the
eastern TAF sites, where rain may linger the longest.
