KEY MESSAGES
- Saturday afternoon and early evening brings potential for showers and thunderstorms to mainly west central Wisconsin. If thunderstorms do develop, a severe storm cannot be ruled out.
- While it remains difficult to narrow down timing, next week looks to feature multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms.
Additionally, next Tuesday may feature the ingredients for severe thunderstorms but these are currently favored to develop south of the forecast area. Please keep up to the date with the forecast for next week.

Saturday thunderstorms:
A shortwave looks to eject northeastward over ND to western Ontario.
An associated cold front will sweep eastward through MN toward the CWA Plume of moist advection ahead of this front should lead to an axis of around 1000 J/kg of MLCAPE by the afternoon hours. As the front arrives, a few showers and thunderstorms may develop. Model soundings suggest warm temperatures at 750mb will likely limit the ability for deep convection to develop, especially in southern parts of the CWA Additionally, with better winds aloft remaining to our north, deep shear of only around 20 knots suggests convective organization will be lacking. Thus, severe risk appears limited to a stray severe hail or wind event.
Sunday night through Friday precip:
Next week brings an extended period with west-southwesterly to southwesterly flow aloft with a series of shortwaves embedded in this flow. With good 700/850mb moist advection seen ahead this waves, multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms will occur. PoPs are once again spread across a much larger time period than will be affecting, owing to low predictability in the timing of the aforementioned shortwaves.
Of particular note is Tuesday, which looks to feature a rather potent shortwave with most guidance bringing this northeastward during the afternoon and evening hours. Ahead of this feature, moist advection tracing back to the Gulf of Mexico could lead to large amount of instability. With stronger winds aloft favored, this could lead to a risk for severe thunderstorms. Primary uncertainties surround the exact track of the system - if the system tracks just a bit too far to the south, the forecast area would fail to destabilize owing to ongoing rain during the morning hours. As of this time, LREF joint probabilities suggest the best overlap of shear, potential instability, and low convective inhibition is more probable just to our south, but will need to keep a close eye on this over the coming days.

Issued at 1000 PM CDT Fri May 17 2024
Main taf concerns are shower/storm potential at both taf sites Saturday afternoon. VFR conditions are expected to prevail tonight into Saturday morning. Then a surface cold front tracks across the area Saturday afternoon and evening. With daytime heating and moisture convergence along the front...showers/scattered storms will develop along the front early Saturday afternoon. At this time development of scattered convection along front may develop over the RST taf site and could impact the LSE taf site between 20z Saturday to 00z Sunday time frame. For now kept vicinity showers at both taf sites after 19z Saturday...based on timing of front/development of convection. Southerly wind direction will shift to the northwest late Saturday afternoon to early Sunday afternoon.
