.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
(Issued 533 PM CDT Tue Jul 6 2021)

Monitoring an MCV previously sampled on upstream RAOBs earlier
today which is now moving into the warned storm in central
Wisconsin to the northwest of the local area. At this point the
warm advection into the front in the right rear quadrant of the
upper jet and continued more easterly storm motion vectors will
keep the initial threat confined to our northern tier of counties
for the next hour or so.

.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 500 PM *CDT Tue Jul 6 2021)

Tonight and Wednesday:

Damaging wind threat is the initial concern this evening, with
damaging winds already observed just to the north of the local
area.

Storms have begun to develop along a frontal boundary draped
across or just to the north of our northern tier of counties from
Marquette to Sheboygan in advance of shortwave activity across the
upper Midwest. The shortwave and cold front across western
Wisconsin/eastern Minnesota will be the impetus for more organized
thunderstorms this evening, but the incoming frontal
boundary/composite outflow off the lake and storms to the north will
be the initial focus. Oshkosh recently gusted to 59 kt. As
forcing increases an uncapped atmosphere to the southwest will
remain in place. Steep low level lapse rates and modest DCAPE will
support a damaging wind threat along and to the south of the
front. 49 kt winds were already observed in Manitowoc earlier
today too. And the storms to the northwest in Marshfield have
reported 55 kt winds.

There is a non zero tornado threat with 100-125 J/KG of 0-3 km
CAPE in place and some enhanced vorticity on the front, especially
in any areas that are able to back winds ahead of the boundary.
The onshore moving front should ease the threat closer to the
shore with time this afternoon. The composite boundary from the
northeast may act to shift the focus away from the lake this
evening.

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect through mid evening from
Sauk to Dodge county and from Marquette to Sheboygan county.

The low level jet feed into the front will also support locally
heavy rain this evening before the low level jet veers to westerly
overnight. The front and trough axis will provide the impetus for
an area of showers and storms on Wednesday, higher coverage in
the afternoon.

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 445 PM CDT Tue Jul 6 2021)

Wednesday night through Monday:

Previous discussion unchanged from the midnight shift...

Showers and maybe a few thunderstorms will linger into Wednesday
night, before dissipating as drier air arrives overnight into
Thursday morning. Temperatures Wednesday night look to fall into
the 50s in most locations.

Thursday continues to look like a relatively pleasant day, though
there are some questions as to how much sun we will actually see,
with cyclonic flow aloft favoring a stratus/stratocu deck for much
of the day. Temperatures will be on the cool side, with highs
likely struggling to reach 70 in all but perhaps the far south and
southwest. Winds will be breezy from the north and northeast.

It is starting to look more likely than not that Friday will start
out dry, with precipitation potential increasing later in the day
and especially into Friday night, as ascent increases ahead of a
shortwave dropping through the Dakotas. The track of this wave and
associated precipitation remains in question, with some models
trending further south over the last 24 hours. There will
certainly be showers and thunderstorms in place across the Midwest
and lower Great Lakes during this time, but it's not entirely
clear where exactly the best rain chances will set up. This
unsettled, and uncertain pattern will persist through the weekend,
as the wave slowly moves through the Great Lakes.

.AVIATION...
(Issued 434 PM CDT Tue Jul 6 2021)

VFR conditions to continue for bulk of today. Still expect
pneumonia front to affect eastern areas this afternoon with weaker
southwest to southeast winds abruptly switching to the northeast.
This may trigger a few t-storms across the eastern areas with a
rapid wind switch to the northeast and few stronger gusts.
Northeast winds and increasing low level moisture may bring MVFR
or lower clouds to the area later tonight into Wednesday.

.MARINE...
(Issued 840 AM CDT Tue Jul 6 2021)

Winds beginning to turn more northwest across about the northern
third of Lake Michigan as pneumonia front begins to strengthen due
to upstream pressure rises across Lake Superior and UP. As high
pressure continues to build to the north, the pneumonia front
should accelerate southward later this morning and afternoon, with
a few gusts to 25 knots. The latest GLERL FVCOM estimate of Lake
MI surface water temps show the last several days of breezy
offshore winds have created upwelling of cooler water along the
western shore of the lake. Hence this cooler water may cause the
pneumonia front to accelerate south and west this afternoon. A
Small Craft Advisory for the nearshore waters will remain in
effect for building waves and a brief period of gusty northeast
winds up to 25 knots. Mariners should be alert for the rapid wind
shift to the N-NE this afternoon and evening.

.BEACHES...450 PM CDT...

A fast moving front will move south across Lake Michigan and into
southern Wisconsin this evening. This will result in a sharp
change in wind direction to the north, northeast, wind gusts
between 20 and 30 mph and rapidly increasing waves to between 3
and 6 feet. This will result in dangerous swim conditions for
beaches from Sheboygan county southward to Racine county. Will
continue to monitor forecasts for Kenosha county as they may need
to be added to this risk though it appears the higher waves will
remain north.
