Jim Marusak Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 guys, something to think about here. there's the OshKosh Air show starting this weekend (a private pilot friend of mine is driving from SE PA to there as we type). I have to wonder, from what we are seeing on radar, how many small planes have already flew their way in for that show, and how much damage could this mean to the airport ahead of that air show?

Tomorrow and Sunday are the big fly in days. I believe you can arrive as early as yesterday (I arrived on Wed. in 94 assisting a flight school vendor). Like any other airport if they would get raked by 70 80 mph winds or even a tornado there could be damage especially with all of the vendor displays setup. But on the other hand they are very very organized (no matter what it seems like on youtube lol) and very prepared. There's a dedicated NWS website for the airport up right now and pilots are pointed to it in the NOTAM. I certainly wouldn't have flown in today with the forecast that was out this morning. These guys are flying mostly light aircraft under VFR conditions so they should be in the habit of checking weather to avoid violating the law. On another note tomorrow and Sunday could be really busy and exciting, nothing funner than flying into the busiest airport in the world on a busy day.

yoda Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 New STWatch expected shortly in Michigan - https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1534.html Mesoscale Discussion 1534 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0911 PM CDT Fri Jul 19 2019 Areas affected...portions of northern and central lower MI Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 200211Z - 200345Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...Damaging wind threat is expected to continue downstream of WW 525 into portions of lower MI. A new severe thunderstorm watch is expected in the next hour or so. DISCUSSION...An intense bow echo continues to rapidly shift east/southeast across northern WI this evening. Latest track information brings the bow across Lake Michigan around 04z. A very unstable airmass remains downstream of the bow, with temperatures still in the 80s and dewpoints in the mid to upper 70s across much of northern and central lower MI this evening. A southwesterly low level jet of 40-50 kt is being sampled by regional VWPs and effective shear greater than 40 kts will continue to stream across the upper Great Lakes region overnight. Furthermore, a well-defined rear inflow jet is noted in KGRB 88-D data. An unconfirmed measured 80 mph wind gust along with numerous reports of damage have occurred with the most intense portion of the bow, now moving across Oconto and Marinette Counties in northeast WI. Given the favorable environmental parameters and the organized nature of the ongoing bow, expect the threat will continue downstream into portions of lower MI and a severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed in the next hour or so. ..Leitman/Thompson.. 07/20/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

wisconsinwx Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 You can see the effects of the cap with the struggle for the line to push south now. It may well break apart entirely as it starts to stall over Central Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Be interesting to see how far south this gets. S MI has some steep lapse rates going on. The western flank is stronger and further south than I thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The western flank is stronger and further south than I thought it would be. Yeah, it held together even better on the west side of the lake, especially given the warm temps in the upper atmosphere. Looks like we're going to get some good storms for an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outflow Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 6 hours ago, Stebo said: Yeah I would probably split the difference, it could do a hard right once it gets across the lake though with the storm motion. Grand rapids got hit pretty good 69mph gust at he airport. With the likely clearing later this morning and continued oppressive heat/humidity it isn't a good time for a metro area to have lots of possible power outages. Consumers energy has 120,000 without power in west mi currently while Detroit Edison had 50000 from earlier storms around metro detriot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went out and went from store to stay in air conditioning. Sleeping was a little uncomfortable Sat. night. We were fortunate to only go 34 hours without power. I have friends that they are saying Wednesday before they get theirs back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
