Geos Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Yeah lake outflow boundaries...I'm used to those! Looks like the prevailing winds turn a bit SE out towards I-39. Wondering if that same wind flow will progress eastward and lead to stabilizing along the lake later on. Still cloudy here. Had about 5 minutes of hazy sun at 4:30pm.

It would probably be like right near the immediate shore if it happens given that sfc winds aren't forecast to back to much more than 170 degrees.

cyclone77 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Severe threat here not too impressive due to extensive cloud cover all day. Still a low possibility though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Not sure what happens here.... All the nasty stuff is well west and north... We lose the heating of the day and you would think the threat would be reduced quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Looking like a bustorama today. probs were always kind of low out this way and we'll still see a marginal severe line push through the general area later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 tried to warn you. Wrong, you were the one who said the other day the warm front wouldn't make it past I-80 last night, then questioned my reading comprehension. You never mentioned outflow boundaries, and I was the one convinced this cloud/convective debris would ruin Milwaukee's chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Nice satellite image DLL. You can see the startings of a t-storm line in NC IA. Lots of clouds here still. It'll probably never completely clear out tonight. Little bit of cooler air working in north of Milwaukee. Only 55° in Grafton. Correction - old observation. Low 60s though in Port Washington. ?? 69.8 here with SW wind. http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KWISAUKV3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Cell moving into the Barrington area looks to be getting its act together. Starting to hear thunder here. Few sprinkles. @Tropical.

A-L-E-K Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Pretty garden variety storm...enjoyable. Looks like a potential heavy rain threat shaping up as atmospheric river pushes in and LLcoolJ ramps up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 More sun might have helped the chances of getting something decent during the daylight hours but I'm not sure whether it matters for later. Given all the clouds and strong low level flow I think the diurnal drop just slows. IOW, if high temps were in the upper 70's or whatever I'm not sure how much warmer it would be at 10 PM vs this situation. Better forcing still out to the west so we'll see if it can start to compensate a bit for the modest instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Getting noisy here. Looks like this Lake county cell will just catch me on its western side. Had a 10 minute downpour, little lightning. Down to 67°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Game over? Thunderstorms have developed over south central Minnesota and north central Iowa, near and west of Interstate 35. However, they have been struggling both to survive and push east, due to drier air coming in at the low to mid levels of the atmosphere.

Hoosier Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 If there are no tornadoes in WI it will be one of the rare times that the 50 prob from the SREF sig tor flops. I've seen anything from a few tornadoes to a big outbreak when it has that but usually not a complete shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
