0920 AM CDT SUN AUG 09 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN WISCONSIN INTO FAR NORTHERN
ILLINOIS
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 091420Z - 091545Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT
SUMMARY...AN ORGANIZED BOWING STRUCTURE, LIKELY ELEVATED AT PRESENT
TIME, COULD BECOME NEAR SURFACE BASED AS IT MOVES INTO SOUTHEASTERN
WISCONSIN AND ADJACENT NORTHERN ILLINOIS. WIND DAMAGE WOULD BE THE
MAIN THREAT. A WATCH IS POSSIBLE SHOULD OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS
WARRANT.
DISCUSSION...A SMALL BOWING CLUSTER HAS BEEN MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD
THIS MORNING. THIS ACTIVITY HAS REMAINED ELEVATED THUS FAR, BUT THE
AIRMASS AHEAD OF IT IS SLOWLY DESTABILIZING. DEWPOINTS IN NORTHERN
ILLINOIS/SOUTHERN WISCONSIN HAVE INCREASED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF
HOURS. THE MAIN LIMITER IN TERMS OF DESTABILIZATION HAS BEEN THE
CLOUD COVER/SMOKE THAT HAS REDUCED INSOLATION. BASED ON FORECAST
SOUNDINGS, IF TEMPERATURES CAN REACH THE MID 70S F THE STORMS WILL
BE AT LEAST NEAR SURFACE BASED. GIVEN THE CURRENT ORGANIZATION OF
ONGOING CONVECTION, THERE MAY BE AN INCREASE IN DAMAGING WIND
POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THE NEED FOR A WATCH IS
UNCERTAIN AND WILL DEPEND ON OBSERVATION TRENDS.
