Severe Thunderstorm Warning 96, NWS Milwaukee, WI

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
352 PM CDT Thu Aug 24 2023

.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 352 PM CDT Thu Aug 24 2023)

Tonight through Friday night:

Lake breeze/weak surface front has worked its way through
Sheboygan, Ozaukee, and Milwaukee Counties, prompting a
cancellation of the Excessive Heat Warning in Milwaukee County.
Although a brief wobble of this boundary cannot be ruled out,
anticipating heat index values below 100 across the area. Boundary
is slowly progressing southwestward into Racine, but southwesterly
flow is preventing the frontal passage until later this evening,
leading to continued dangerous heat index values. Dangerous heat
remains across the area into this evening.

A few storms are developing in northern portions of the CWA this
evening as the cap breaks along the surface front and lake breeze.
In general, forcing is weak and convection is expected to be
short lived. Still, a couple gustier storms and small hail cannot
be ruled out. Frontal boundary will progress southwestward
through the region through the overnight hours tonight. Expect low
temperatures in the upper 60s.

Dewpoints are expected to remain in the 60s overnight tonight,
with winds decreasing into the late overnight hours. Patchy fog is
therefore possible in southwestern Wisconsin.

A weak warm front will lift into the area Friday morning,
lingering into the afternoon before cold air advection takes
precedence overnight. Slight chances for showers and thunderstorms
are expected throughout the day Friday into Friday evening before
the front clears the region. Expect high temperatures in the lower
to middle 80s, with lows in the lower 60s.

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 352 PM CDT Thu Aug 24 2023)

Saturday through Thursday:

Temperatures will be cooler than in previous days moving into the
weekend, with high pressure bringing drier conditions.

On Monday, temperatures will warm slightly with an oncoming trough
and low pressure system. Monday evening transitioning into
Tuesday morning will see the passage of a cold front, with
associated chances of rain on Monday evening.

For the remainder of the forecast period, high pressure will move
in behind the retreating low pressure system. Wednesday
temperatures will remain cooler, and increase moving into
Thursday.

.AVIATION...
(Issued 352 PM CDT Thu Aug 24 2023)

A few showers and storms are developing as a weak cold front
drapes southward across central Wisconsin and the lake breeze
pushes inland. Generally VFR conditions, with local MVFR
conditions in areas of showers and thunderstorms and near the
lakeshore. Frontal passage this evening into tonight will lower
ceilings to IFR overnight. Patchy fog is also possible overnight,
especially in southwestern Wisconsin where humidity values remain
higher and winds decrease during the overnight hours.

Friday, expect ceilings to slowly rise into MVFR conditions by
midday and into VFR during the afternoon. A few showers and
thunderstorms are possible along a weak warm front during the
afternoon and evening, although coverage looks to remain
scattered to isolated.

Generally light northerly winds are expected throughout the time
frame.

.MARINE...
(Issued 352 PM CDT Thu Aug 24 2023)

Low pressure will sink southeastward away from the lake this
evening, with breezy, northerly winds increasing this evening into
tonight. Areas of dense fog this evening across southern portions
of the lake will become patchy as winds increase overnight. In
addition, a few showers and thunderstorms are expected into this
evening. High pressure will then bring lighter winds on Friday,
with northerly winds picking back up Friday night into Saturday as
high pressure builds over Ontario. A few thunderstorms are
possible Friday afternoon into Friday night.
