.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 322 PM CDT Wed Jun 15 2022)

Tonight and Tonight:

The main focus is on the severe weather expected to impact the area
late this afternoon and evening. The main threat will move into
the west between 4 to 6 PM, then spreading east through the
evening hours. Walworth, Racine, Kenosha counties will be the
last to see the potential for strong to severe storms, if they
hold up in intensity that far to the southeast.

The hot and humid airmass in place has led to an very unstable
atmosphere across central and southern Wisconsin. The elongated
surface low and frontal boundary currently moving into western
Wisconsin will be the forcing mechanism for this afternoon and
evenings convection. With 4000+ J/kg of SBCAPE entrenched across
the area, this will support the potential for explosive updrafts
with more than enough instability to support severe storms as
this boundary moves through the area. With 40 kts of effective
bulk shear, there will also be enough deep layer shear to support
the potential for supercells initially with any initial discrete
cells. All hazards will be possible with any discrete cells early
one, including very large hail, tornadoes, and damaging winds.

As the boundary continues to move east, do expect the line to
grow upscale into a QLCS, with the potential for bowing segments,
mesovorts, and a few embedded supercells. All hazards will remain
possible, including the potential for pockets of wind-driven
hail and tornadoes. With 0-3 km CAPE increasing this afternoon
and 0-3 km bulk shear increasing to around 30 knots, any segments
of the line that surge to the east-northeast may pose a brief
tornado threat.

Heavy rain will occur with any thunderstorm activity. Will need
to keep an eye on the southeast, where storms may train a bit
longer later this evening, but the widespread flash flood threat
looks low at this time. Typical flood prone areas may see some
nuisance flooding develop due to higher rainfall rates.

The boundary will clear the area late this evening and
thunderstorm chances will come to an end. With light winds
overnight, will need to monitor the potential for fog overnight
where heavier rain occurs.

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 322 PM CDT Wed Jun 15 2022)

Thursday through Wednesday:

Thursday will be less humid, but still warm with temperatures in
the 80s. Heat indices will be much less with lower dewpoints
moving in behind the front. Southwest to west winds could gust
upwards of 40 to 45 mph in spots, especially central Wisconsin so
we will need to monitor the potential need for a wind advisory.

Otherwise, the rest of the week and weekend look to be cooler with
drier conditions as high pressure dominants. Next week the weather
could turn more active as the heat and humidity return to the
region.

Anderson

.AVIATION...
(Issued 322 PM CDT Wed Jun 15 2022)

Gusty south to southwest winds are expected into this evening,
ahead of an approaching cold front. This cold front is expected to
move through this evening, bringing the potential for severe
storms mainly impacting KMSN/KJVL between 23-01Z, KSBM between
00-02Z, KUES/KENW/KMKE between 01-04Z. Large hail, damaging
winds, and tornadoes will be possible, with the highest threat
back towards KMSN/KJVL/KSBM. Ceilings may fall into the MVFR
category as storms move through, and visibilities may fall down to
1 SM or less given the very heavy rain expected with this
activity. As the front moves through this evening into tonight,
winds will become westerly behind the front tonight, then become
southwest tomorrow.

.MARINE...
(Issued 322 PM CDT Wed Jun 15 2022)

Opted to keep the dense fog advisory in place for the northern half
of Lake Michigan, given the humid airmass lifting into the area this
evening. After the front/surface low passes over Lake Michigan
tonight, any lingering fog should dissipate.

Thunderstorms, some possibly severe, will form along and ahead of
the cold front and move through the region tonight. Large hail,
damaging winds and waterspouts are possible. A period of gusty
southwest winds is expected on Thursday, before shifting west
Thursday night. A Small Craft Advisory has been issued for the
nearshore waters for Thursday, as gusts up to 30 knots are
expected. Some gusts near the shoreline may approach gale force,
and this will need monitoring in later forecasts.

High pressure should move southeast through the Great Lakes
region this weekend, bringing somewhat lighter winds.
