Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
311 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024

.KEY MESSAGES...

-  Flood Watch continues for flash flooding potential across
   portions of south central and southeast Wisconsin through
   late this evening. Multiple additional rounds of showers and
   storms are expected, with widespread rainfall amounts
   between 1 and 3 inches and locally higher amounts exceeding 3
   inches.

-  There is the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms
   this afternoon/evening (risk 2 out of 5). Damaging winds are
   expected to be the primary hazard, with isolated tornadoes
   and a few areas of large hail possible.

-  Heat index values reaching 90 degrees across much of southern
   Wisconsin are possible on Tuesday.

-  Strong thunderstorms may develop once again along a cold
   front on Tuesday.

.SHORT TERM...
Issued 309 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024

This Afternoon and Tonight:

Well I wish I can things are more clear cut from earlier, but
unfortunately they are not. While things looked to to align in days
leading up to today, that has not be realized as the synoptic
features seem to just be offset from each, which makes it hard to
pinpoint exactly where things get their act together. Latest obs and
satellite imagery show two surface lows across the region with a one
located over north central WI and a cold front extending south and
west and another broader one across IA with a warm front stretch
along and just north of the WI/IL border. Theses two frontal feature
look to pinch around the lower Wisconsin River Valley. While there
is showers and a few thunderstorms building west to east along it in
an uncapped environment, they have not experienced upscale
development at this time. Still looking for additional forcing
mechanism which may come in the form of the shortwave trough over MN
this afternoon, which has develop a QLCS across southern MN this
afternoon. So the mid-level shortwave trough may the focus for the
stronger to severe development later this afternoon and evening
either in the form of continue to maintain ongoing line with
additional develop ahead of it along the frontal boundaries,
especially as another LLJ begins to pick up through the evening.

Overall, not a clear cut setup and the persisting clouds with only
pockets of clearing are not helping much either. But a later
initialization for stronger to severe thunderstorms seems to be the
trend. Nevertheless, still looking at SBCAPE climbing into the 1000-
2000 J/kg range in an uncapped environment with effective shear
values around 30-45 knot. With east to west flow along a east-west
boundary, a bit of low-level (0-1km) shear around 25-30 knots, still
will be a potential for any isolated tornado or two with any storms
that develop later this afternoon/evening. Otherwise, damaging winds
and some hail will be the primary concern, especially if the QLCS
feature materializes and tracks across the region.

.LONG TERM...
Issued 309 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024

Sunday through Saturday:

A cloudy day is expected on Sunday as the upper level shortwave
trough and associated surface low continue to propagate
eastward. A few showers and thunderstorms may develop on the
backside of the low (15%) mainly across east central Wisconsin,
but the day should largely be dry. Northwesterly winds and cold
air advection combined with the cloudy conditions is expected to
moderate temperatures a bit as compared to the last few days,
allowing for highs to peak around 80F. Upper leveling ridging
and high pressure will then build over Wisconsin on Monday,
allowing for mostly sunny skies and dry conditions. Highs will
be in the low to mid 80s.

Tuesday may prove to be an interesting weather day. Low pressure
propagating eastward across Canada will shift winds to the
southwest, allowing for WAA and MAA across southern Wisconsin. As
this occurs, steepening mid-level lapse rates associated with
lapse rate advection, modest 0-6km shear, and increasing CAPE and
PWATs are expected across Wisconsin which combined with forcing
from an associated surface frontal feature and upper level
dynamics, a few strong to possibly severe thunderstorms appear
possible. However, there is uncertainty in if all these
ingredients line up as far as timing is concerned and how much of
a cap will be in place.

High pressure will begin to build into the Midwest again on
Wednesday and Thursday, bringing dry conditions back to southern
Wisconsin before shower and thunderstorm chances return on Friday
and Saturday (40%-50%).

.AVIATION...
Issued 309 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024

Showers and thunderstorms are currently moving along a warm
frontal boundary laid across southern Wisconsin associated with
low pressure this afternoon causing MVFR to IFR visibilities
and ceilings. This round should continue eastward over the next
several hours, likely impacting MKE and ENW before moving over
the lake. Additional strong to severe thunderstorms are expected
to develop this evening, generally between 21Z-05Z, with
damaging winds and some hail being the primary threats, although
an isolated tornado or two are possible. IFR visibilities and
ceilings are expected with storms that develop. Opted to remove
LLWS from the TAFs with the latest issuance due to uncertainty
of the location and strength of the LLJ, but it seems that ENW
may be the most likely to see some stronger winds and the
possibility of LLWS.

After storms cease overnight and the low moves eastward over the
lake, winds will turn northwesterly and begin to diminish. IFR
ceilings will take hold overnight into Sunday morning before
beginning to lift to MVFR by Sunday afternoon as high pressure
begins to build into Wisconsin.

.MARINE...
Issued 309 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024

Southerly winds across the lake will turn northwesterly this
evening into Sunday morning as low pressure moves eastward
across Wisconsin and subsequently Lake Michigan. Showers and
thunderstorms are possible across the lake this evening along
surface frontal boundaries associated with the low pressure, but
are expected to largely end Sunday morning with a few
additional showers and storms possible across the northern half
of the lake behind the low pressure Sunday afternoon. Winds may
near Small Craft Advisory conditions this evening behind the
frontal features, but are largely expected to diminish tonight
into Sunday. High pressure will then build into the Great Lakes
region Sunday afternoon into Monday allowing for light
northwesterly winds across the lake for the beginning of next
week.
