Area is being monitored for possible watch issuance. DISCUSSION...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are developing/intensifying this afternoon along/just ahead of the southward-advancing cold front. This activity is tracking along a differential heating zone and within the strong instability gradient oriented across north-central WI. Strong heating ahead of these storms and dewpoints in the mid 70s have allowed inhibition to weaken. This area is on the edges of more favorable deep shear, but 20-30 kt effective shear magnitudes may be sufficient for organized clusters/small bows given strong instability. Modified RAP forecast soundings and regional VWP data show somewhat small but favorably curved low-level hodographs. Low-level shear will remain modest, but given the very moist and unstable boundary layer, a tornado or two also could occur, in addition to damaging wind gusts. This area is being monitored for possible watch issuance. ...Leitman/Smith.. 07/23/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5fBtQbS4WWxg9eZQsSHBTHFS7FZRGdvJoq0_kdo6C9HD1ejvk-5mMZt0ldXINHaNVkUX6nAKo= fRvxGCbeJtBQ2WQ_d4$ for graphic product...
