Areas affected...parts of central/northeastern Wisconsin into
adjacent portions of Upper Michigan

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 257...

Valid 182246Z - 190045Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 257
continues.

SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorm development, including a few
supercells posing a risk for severe hail and wind, probably will be
maintained while spreading eastward across the region through around
8-9 PM CDT.

DISCUSSION...Multiple discrete thunderstorms, including evolving
supercells, are ongoing, emanating from a zone of stronger
pre-frontal confluence across west central Wisconsin into the
western Upper Peninsula of Michigan vicinity.  Boundary-layer
instability appears maximized along this corridor with mixed-layer
CAPE on the order of 1000-1500 J/kg and renewed convective
initiation remains possible another couple of hours as this zone
shifts slowly eastward.

Embedded within strongly sheared, 30-40 kt southwesterly deep-layer
mean flow, storms have tended to propagate northeastward and
eastward away from the initiating zone.  Aided by the strong shear,
these storms may continue to pose a risk for severe hail and locally
strong gusts while spreading toward the Iron Mountain, Green Bay and
Oshkosh vicinities through 00-01Z.  While forecast soundings exhibit
low-level hodographs potentially conducive to a a risk for
tornadoes, it still appears this risk will be limited by sizable
boundary-layer temperature/dew point spreads.
