    Mesoscale Discussion 0973
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1137 AM CDT Sun Jul 01 2018

    Areas affected...Southern and Eastern Wisconsin...Northern
    Illinois...and Southern Upper Michigan.

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 011637Z - 011800Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...A few storms have formed west of Green Bay. Additional
    storms are expected to form in the next hour or two along and ahead
    of a cold front. These storms will pose a primary threat of damaging
    winds, however, a tornado or two is also possible.

    DISCUSSION...Storms have started to form west of Green Bay. While
    these storms will likely only pose a marginal severe threat as they
    move into an increasingly stable airmass, additional storm
    development is expected in the next hour or two along the cold
    front. Low-level moisture advection combined with surface heating in
    the relatively cloud free airmass in southern Wisconsin will lead to
    additional destabilization ahead of these developing storms. MLCAPE
    is already over 2500 J/kg in southern Wisconsin with this buoyancy
    expected across much of eastern Wisconsin within the next few hours.
    MLCAPE of 500 to 1000 J/kg is expected to advect as far north as at
    least southern Upper Michigan. Effective shear of 40 to 50 knots per
    the latest RAP mesoanalysis combined with the expected moderate to
    strong instability will provide an environment favorable for severe
    storms this afternoon. Current ARX and GRB VWP 1 km winds of 30 to
    35 knots with strengthening flow expected through the day, will
    support a damaging wind threat, however, a greater tornado threat
    will exist in areas with backed surface flow (currently in east
    central Wisconsin). Given the strong linear forcing, storms are
    expected to congeal into a squall line relatively quickly. While the
    linear nature may limit the overall tornado threat, embedded
    supercells in addition to any discrete storms that can form ahead of
    the line will likely pose a greater tornado concern.
