.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 230 PM CDT Wed Jul 14 2021)

Late This Afternoon through Thursday:

Line of strong thunderstorms will continue to march eastward
across southern Wisconsin through the late afternoon. Expect wind
gusts of 30 to 50 mph to continue to be the main threat. It's
looking like a break in the precipitation will occur over most of
the area late this afternoon and early evening. Focus shifts to
deepening low pressure moving from northern IA into central WI
this evening. The surface low will continue to move northeast,
dragging a cold front into southern WI overnight. Although the
atmosphere was worked over early today by the MCS moving through
southern WI, breaks in the cloud cover, and increased low level
convergence in the vicinity of the warm front attached to the
northeast moving surface low should result in more thunderstorms
developing across northern IA into southern MN and western WI this
evening. CAPE has increased to 1-3K joules with little CIN across
northern IA. These storms should push into southern WI during the
evening and overnight and may start to train or line up across a
part of the area. Precipitable water remains near record levels
from 1.7 to 2 inches for this time of year. Forward propagating
Corfidi Vectors remain easterly 20-25 kts but Meso-Beta elements
of MCS drops to less than 10 kts for about a 6 hour period
overnight. Any stronger storms will produce rainfall of 1-2+
inches per hour, and if they linger or redevelop along the
boundary, could see localized flash flooding overnight. Despite
the recent dry conditions, the ground/soil/non- pavement areas
remain firm and more impervious to soaking up the heavy rainfall,
resulting in an increased threat for flash flooding. Due to
uncertainty with regard to where the most favored area of flooding
would be, and recent dryness, wl hold off on posting Flash Flood
Watch for now, but wl be watching conditions closely this evening.

Low level jet pivots to the east and south of the area but wl
continue precipitation chances across the southern CWA due to
lingering mid-level low pressure trof and nearby surface boundary.

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 230 PM CDT Wed Jul 14 2021)

Thursday night through Wednesday:

Blocking high pressure building into the central CONUS and
southern Canada will be bringing mostly quiet conditions to
southern WI for the bulk of this period. Shower chances may
increase later Tuesday into mid-week as a back door cool front
slips down from the north as the blocking ridge weakens slightly.

In the shorter term, a lingering frontal boundary located just to
the south and east of southern WI may bring a few showers or
storms to far southern WI Thursday night into Friday. Otherwise
dry conditions are expected elsewhere. Daytime temperatures should
be near or a little above seasonal normal for mid-July.

.AVIATION...
(Issued 230 PM CDT Wed Jul 14 2021)

A line of strong storms will continue to march east across parts
of southern WI this afternoon, weakening and diminishing from west
to east during the mid to late afternoon. Held off in introducing
any stronger wind gusts in eastern TAF's More scattered storms
will likely affect southern Wisconsin tonight, although timing and
strength of these storms is still uncertain. Heavy rainfall will
accompany of these storms with areas of MVFR and lower ceilings
and vsbys.

.MARINE...
(Issued 230 PM CDT Wed Jul 14 2021)

Periods of thunderstorms will affect nearshore and Lake Michigan
open waters through tonight, focused mostly on the southern lake
on Thursday. Some of the storms will cause gusty winds, likely
reaching Special Marine Warning criteria late this afternoon and
tonight. Mariners will need to be alert for storms approaching
their location and be ready to seek harbor.
