NWS Milwaukee, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 2, 4:15 AM CST, 4 hours 35 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI 515 AM CDT MON JUN 2 2014 .TODAY AND TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM. SCATTERED TO BROKEN CONVECTION OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS OF CWA LIFTING OFF TO THE NORTH WITH WEAK LOBE OF LOW PRESSURE. EXPECT ONE MORE BAND OF BROKEN CONVECTION TO DEVELOP AND CROSS CWA THIS MORNING AS ALL MODELS SWING SHORT WAVE TROUGH THROUGH CWA THIS MORNING. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE NOT THAT STEEP...THOUGH 0 TO 6 KM BULK SHEAR STRENGTHENS TO AROUND 30 KNOTS AHEAD OF THE TROUGH THEN SLIPS BACK TO 20 TO 25 KNOTS...SUFFICIENT FOR SOME ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS AND SMALL HAIL POTENTIAL. STILL LOOKING AT HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL WITH 1.5 TO 1.7 PWS AND CORFIDI VECTORS OF 5 TO 10 KNOTS. NOT MUCH HAPPENING UPSTREAM WITH STABILIZING EFFECT OF PREVIOUS EVENING/S CONVECTION LIMITING POTENTIAL FOR STRONG CONVECTION. SUBSIDENCE AND MID LEVEL DRYING BEHIND THE TROUGH AXIS THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND CAPE...POSSIBLY OVERDONE ON NAM SOUNDINGS WITH IT/S HIGHER DEW POINTS...TO KEEP AT LEAST CHANCE POPS IN FOR THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. .SHORT TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM. SHORT TERM MODELS AGREE ON WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SLIDING EAST ACROSS THE REGION. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN QUIET WEATHER. PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SHOULD ALLOW FOR HIGHS IN THE 70S ACROSS THE AREA...EVEN NEAR THE LAKE WITH THE WESTERLY WINDS. MODELS THEN SHOW LOW PRESSURE MOVING EAST FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THEY SHOW A DECENT 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN ON WEDNESDAY. 850 MB LOW CROSSES FAR NORTHERN ILLINOIS...WITH LOW LEVEL JET POINTING INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF THE 850 MB LOW. GOOD FRONTOGENESIS RESPONSE IN THE LOW LEVELS CROSSES THE AREA WEDNESDAY...ALONG WITH GOOD Q VECTOR CONVERGENCE. THUS...WILL CONTINUE TO RAMP UP TO HIGHER END POPS IN THE SOUTH HALF OF THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. THUNDER IS QUESTIONABLE DURING THIS TIME...AS NAM/GFS FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE NOT SHOWING MUCH IN THE WAY OF MEAN LAYER OR ELEVATED CAPE. COULD SEE A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM PASS EAST THROUGH ILLINOIS...THOUGH SOUTHERN WISCONSIN WOULD BE ON THE COOLER AND MORE STABLE NORTH SIDE OF IT. FOR NOW...WENT WITH SLIGHT CHANCES FOR THUNDER. ONSHORE WINDS WITH CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL KEEP HIGHS COOL WEDNESDAY...MAINLY IN THE 60S...PERHAPS COOLER ALONG THE LAKE. QUIET WEATHER RETURNS FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE REGION. COOL LOWS IN THE 50S ARE EXPECTED. .LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM. GFS/ECMWF IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH HIGH PRESSURE MOVING SLOWLY ACROSS THE REGION. THIS SHOULD BRING QUIET WEATHER TO THE AREA. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...WITH ONSHORE WINDS EACH DAY. THEY THEN TRY TO BRING THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM NORTHEAST TOWARD OR INTO THE REGION. DISAGREEMENT EXISTS WITH THE MAIN FEATURES...SO WILL USE CONSENSUS POPS AND TEMPERATURES FOR SUNDAY. .AVIATION/12Z TAFS/... WILL KEEP VFR CONDITIONS GOING...WITH MVFR VSBYS DURING EXPECTED BEST TIMES FOR SHOWERS /THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS MORNING. PCPN CHANCES LOWER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND END BY 06Z TUE. SOME GUSTY SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. .MARINE... WILL KEEP AN EYE ON OBSERVATIONS TO SEE IF EARLIER START TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BEE NEEDED...ESPECIALLY IN TIGHTER GRADIENT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES. OTHERWISE END TIME OF ADVISORY LOOKS GOOD AS WINDS EASE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TURN WEST...WITH THE OFFSHORE FLOW KEEPING HIGHER WAVES TOWARD OPEN WATER THUS REDUCING THE NEED TO EXTEND THE ADVISORY TO ALLOW WAVES TO SUBSIDE. THE OFFSHORE FLOW WILL ALSO KEEP THE HIGHER WAVES OFF THE BEACHES...THUS NO NEED FOR A BEACH HAZARD TODAY. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...NONE. LM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 8 PM CDT THIS EVENING FOR LMZ643>646. && ADDED MARINE DISCUSSION. TODAY/TONIGHT AND AVIATION/MARINE...REM TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...WOOD
