Areas affected...Parts of central and eastern Wisconsin

Concerning...Tornado Watch 253...

Valid 152236Z - 160000Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 253 continues.

SUMMARY...Arcing band of supercells will continue to pose a risk of
tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds.

DISCUSSION...An arcing band of semi-discrete supercells continues
tracking northeastward across parts of central/eastern WI this
evening -- generally focused along an occluded surface front. Around
40-50 kt of effective shear oriented off the boundary should
maintain the semi-discrete mode, especially in the near-term. Ahead
of these storms, backed surface winds in the sheltered boundary
layer beneath a warm-advection plume is yielding upwards of 400
m2/s2 0-1km SRH (per MKX VWP). Given middle 60s dewpoints beneath
steep midlevel lapse rates (and surface-based inflow layers), this
enhanced low-level streamwise vorticity will continue to support a
supercell tornado threat for the next couple hours -- before storms
move too far east into more stable low-level air. The most
concerning area appears to be at the southern end of the line in
south-central WI, where SRH and surface-based inflow is maximized
amid a more discrete supercell mode. Large hail and damaging winds
will also remain possible with this activity.
