A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MINNESOTA WAS WORKING INTO
NORTHWEST WI EARLY THIS MORNING. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW WARNINGS
WITH THIS COMPLEX SO FAR. THIS COMPLEX IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
INTO NORTH-CENTRAL WI BETWEEN 09Z-12Z AND ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST WI
AFTER 12Z. SEVERAL MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW CONVECTION DEVELOPING
SOUTH OF THE CURRENT CLUSTER OF STORMS TOWARDS 12Z THAT COULD
IMPACT LOCATIONS SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 29. PREVIOUS FORECAST HAD POPS,
THUS NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THIS AREA. LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE
AFTERNOON, SEVERAL SOLUTIONS TO CONTEND WITH THAT LEAVE SOME
QUESTIONS IN HOW WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE. THIS WAS
SEEN IN THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER DAY 1 OUTLOOK THAT HAS SHIFTED
THE SLIGHT RISK (LEVEL 2) IS LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH. THE LATEST
HRRR WOULD SUPPORT THE MORNING CONVECTION SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 29
WITH ANOTHER COMPLEX DEVELOPING ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE HIGHWAY 29
CORRIDOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON, BETWEEN 2 PM AND 4 PM WEST OF THE
FOX VALLEY, AND FROM 4 PM TO 7 PM FOR GREEN BAY AND THE FOX VALLEY
EAST TO THE LAKESHORE. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS INDICATED 1,000 TO 2,000
J/KG OF CAPE AND 0-6 KM SHEAR VALUES AROUND 30 KNOTS TO SUPPORT

LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING ARE THE MAIN RISK. SMALL HAIL AND AN
ISOLATED TORNADO ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. SHOWERS AND SCATTERED STORMS

A FEW STORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS EAST-CENTRAL WI THROUGH THE
