Powerball Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 20z Sounding for DTX Notice the convective temperature is 84*F too, which we did reach/surpass. Not an awful sounding at all to be honest. It cuold have been much worse. That said, the air is very storm-esque outside. It's extremely still and you can feel the hot/moist air rising.

wisconsinwx Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Racine and Kenosha Counties had best be on the lookout, given how quickly these storms have popped up.

wisconsinwx Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 3 areas of rain going through MKE County right now and all 3 miss me and you.. Pretty much, but you might get that storm in S Waukesha County. Instability doesn't really wane behind this area of showers/storms either, at least per the observations behind it.

A-L-E-K Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 max tops to 65kft in the watch text. looking pretty ominous, line starting to build to the SW into extremely unstable conditions, we should see a classic squal line push through most of the area.
