Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
754 PM CDT Fri Aug 11 2023

.UPDATE...
(Issued 753 PM CDT Fri Aug 11 2023)

Will make this discussion brief with strong storms quickly moving
towards southern Wisconsin this evening. This line should hold up
with good instability and moisture convergence. Lots of lightning
also associated with these storms upstream. Overall, it will be
2-3 hours of storms moving from northwest to southeast, before
moving to the southeast and over Lake Michigan around Midnight.
Much calmer conditions with clearing skies late tonight. The rest
of the forecast for southern Wisconsin is currently on track.

.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 320 PM CDT Fri Aug 11 2023)

Tonight through Sunday:

Only isold shower development has occurred this afternoon with the
passage of a weak vorticity maximum and continued weak warm,
moist advection. Late this afternoon more definitive storm
development is expected south of the current convection over MN
in the vicinity of the sfc trough and shortwave trough. The
850-300 mb flow and corfidi vectors yield a esely movement around
40 kts. MLCIN will be building ahead of the convection over south
central WI and fcst soundings show fairly dry air below 700 MB.
However, a 55-60 kt 500 mb jet streak will aid in organizing the
convection as it approaches from west central and sw WI. Thus the
outflow and some elevated CAPE could keep the convection going at
least across south central WI, with still good chances to the
east. Damaging wind gusts will be possible over south central WI
and possibly to the east if it holds together.

500 MB height rises and AVA is expected on Sat as the main upper
trough over Lake Superior and Ontario moves away. The models have
been depicting a weak sfc trough and a lake breeze over ern WI
with CAPE present on some soundings. Will count on cumulus
development but sprinkles at best.

High pressure will build south from Canada into the central Great
Lakes for Sat nt-Sun. Pleasant summer wx is expected.

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 320 PM CDT Fri Aug 11 2023)

Monday through Friday:

A deepening shortwave trough in nwly flow aloft will induce
cyclogenesis along the WI and IL border Sun nt-Mon and then
slightly deepen as it moves farther east. Low level warm, moist
advection and strong PVA aloft will should bring widespread
showers and some storms for late Sun nt-Mon.

A sfc ridge will follow on Tue with swly flow and warm advection
in its wake for Tue nt-Wed. Another upper trough in nwly flow and
its cold front will then approach and pass late Wed into Thu AM,
but the lift and moisture is lacking so low PoPs for now. Weak
high pressure and pleasant summer wx will follow for Fri.

.AVIATION...
(Issued 753 PM CDT Fri Aug 11 2023)

Many airport locations to go MVFR or IFR with any passing
thunderstorms later this evening. Tracking these storms puts
deteriorating conditions between 03-06Z. Gusty winds are likely
with any storms along with brief heavy rain. This activity should
end after 06Z, putting conditions back into the VFR category
across southern Wisconsin. Then, clearing later tonight with
generally light winds. No aviation concerns for Saturday, although
scattered cumulus likely to develop during the afternoon.

KPL

.MARINE...
(Issued 320 PM CDT Fri Aug 11 2023)

Moderate southerly winds will veer westerly tonight with the
passage of a cold front. Periods of showers and thunderstorms are
expected during this time. Moderate northwest winds and quiet
weather is then expected on Saturday.

Low pressure will then develop along the Wisconsin and Illinois
border late Sunday night into Monday morning, then move across
southern Lake Michigan at 29.7 inches. Breezy winds are expected
during this time and wind gusts may approach gale force.
