Severe Thunderstorm Warning 88, NWS Milwaukee, WI

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
947 PM CDT Sat Jul 23 2022

.UPDATE...
(Issued 947 PM CDT Sat Jul 23 2022)

Behind the first round of storms additional convection is firing
up with the 850-700mb warm air advection and associated lift with
the 850 jet ahead will continue thunderstorm chances across the
area. With 1000-3000 J/kg of MUCAPE, 45-55 knots of 0-6km shear,
and precipitable water values around 2 inches. Severe storms with
large hail and gusty winds along with heavy rainfall will remain
possible overnight. There is still the chance for an isolated
tornado with SRH values highest in the western half of the CWA.
Storms will diminish as the front moves through Sunday morning.

.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 254 PM CDT Sat Jul 23 2022)

Tonight and Sunday:

All of the focus is on how the severe event unfolds this afternoon
and evening. Things are still looking on track and we're expecting
to get put into a watch in the next hour or so. Here are the
latest thoughts.

Latest mesoanalysis shows a multicell cluster of storms in
southeast MN/north central IA which have formed along the nose of
a 6000 J/kg SBCAPE axis that arcs from that area down into
northwest IL. These storms have at times had some rotation with
them, but things haven't organized quite yet into well developed
system. The expectation is that these storms are the focus for
what will develop into a line and then roll through southern
Wisconsin late this afternoon on into tonight.

The 23.18z RAP (and previous runs) have had a good handle on the
current situation and have been fairly consistent with the picture
it paints for this afternoon/evening. The expectation is that
stronger low level flow will kick in over the next couple of
hours, which will help advect the surface/low level warm front
northward from its current position on up into southern Wisconsin.
By 24.00z tonight, the warm front is expected to align from near
La Crosse east toward the Dells and then dropping southeast toward
northeast IL. Deep layer 0-6km shear is already decent and in
place due to some 35-45kt winds in place at 500mb. Low level wind
shear is expected to increase through the evening hours as the low
level jet strengthens out of the southwest. 0-1km wind shear is in
a bit of lull over southern WI at the moment, but 0-3km is okay at
25-30kts out of the west-northwest. Again, that is forecast to
increase as the storms arrive into southern Wisconsin this evening
which will lead to a better environment for mesovort production if
the QLCS is at it's peak intensity.

What could lead to this possibly not happening? Well, there's some
high level anvil blowoff from the current convection in MN/IA that
has lead to temperatures being a bit 'cooler' in that area.
However, with the LLJ cranking up and feeding into the storms, it
doesn't look like that will affect things much. Other than that,
there's not much to say this won't happen. If anything, it's just
a matter of where it goes. The past few runs of the HRRR have come
in line with our thinking here that the complex will start off
going east but then will follow the better instability to its
southwest and dig southeast through southeast WI toward the
evening. Some of the other CAMS/NAM-nest have hinted at more of a
direct east propagation as a result of it pushing the warm
front way further north.

Once the complex gets a bit organized, it is expected to
accelerate across southern WI. The main thing we'll be watching
for with mesovort development is if the line can keep up with its
outflow. Also, the HRRR has been showing a 'tag line' of weaker
convection leading into the line which could highlight the warm
front and where there would be a higher potential for mesovort
development.

Otherwise, beyond the main show there does look to be a period of
more unorganzied convection occurring across southern WI due to
the low level jet remaining strong and out of the southwest
overnight. This could lead to some heavy rainfall and localized
flash flooding with PWs up around 2". This show should come to an
end tomorrow morning as the cold front pushes in.

Sunday through Sunday night:

Cold front will be shifting off to the southeast. Some lingering
showers or storms may still be in the area at the outset before
trending out of SE WI but the bulk should have shifted out of the
area. Otherwise cool and dry advection will get underway ahead of
high pressure working in from the west.

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 254 PM CDT Sat Jul 23 2022)

Monday through Tuesday:

Quiet weather pattern will continue this period with low level
thermal trough dominating for Monday. We will start to see a warm
air advection regime take hold later Monday night with low level
warm axis becoming established for Tuesday.

Tuesday night through Wednesday:

The next weather maker arrives Tuesday night as a mid level wave
combined with a surface boundary generate the potential for more
showers/thunderstorms. The best chance will be in the west late
with the chances expanding across the remainder of the area on
Wednesday.

Thursday through Saturday:

A generally quiet period is expected once again with high pressure
gradually working into the area.

.AVIATION...
(Issued 947 PM CDT Sat Jul 23 2022)

Thunderstorm chances will continue through the overnight with the
potential for a few severe storms with strong winds and large hail
possible. IFR to MVFR conditions will be possible with any storm
due to lower ceilings and visibilities due to heavy rainfall.

Storms will clear with the front Sunday morning as winds shift to
the northwest. As the front moves through we could see a period of
MVFR ceilings around 1500 feet before they clear out for the
afternoon.

RAH

.MARINE...
(Issued 254 PM CDT Sat Jul 23 2022)

Main concern is with the potential for a squall line with intense
winds rolling across the lake this evening. The southern to
central half of the lake is the most likely area to see these
potentially high winds. Otherwise, winds are expected to swing
around to the northwest behind the cold front that passes tonight.
