Serious question. What will happen to a MCS (if and when it congeals and moves into NIL) as it barrels into the lake breeze?

it would become elevated over the surface inversion.  if it was well formed it would still be able to punch through the cool layer and bring strong winds to the surface

Need some wider updrafts or some updraft merging before things really pop off

Initiation near Prairie Du Chien 

Don’t love the billow clouds just to our NW but can see some nice ACCAS out my window

Not liking the HRRR trends of splitting southern Wisconsin to the north/south this evening. As of yesterday evening we were squarely in the bulls-eye on multiple runs, of multiple models. We hit the severe threat hard at work this morning, now we might not even get any rain in Madison.

The HRRR didn't handle yesterday well at all

Already 81/70. Boundary sitting just to our north and better shear is moving in from the west 

The cirrus clouds are moving off to the east.  72/67.  We’ll have about 8 hours of full heating 

Feeling optimistic about tomorrow

Did hit 91/79/107 here earlier.  Mixed the dews down a bit now so heat index down to 102

Crazy amounts of smoke here at the surface all day today. Must be wild for all the GA planes flying VFR into EAA

Up to 5.3” of rain in July after 0.52” yesterday.  Doing our best to erase the June drought

bleak

At least tied the record high of 91 at MSN today.  4 straight 90s at the house

First 90 of the year at the house and at MSN

Gaylord, MI with it’s warmest May temp of all time

Got down to 38.  Just avoided any frost.  Couple more cool nights this weekend but should stay in the 40s

We may be in a hellscape but at least the sunsets are pretty 

Basically cloudy here with how thick the smoke is

Some nice steady rain today.  Looks like a chance of showers and storms Tuesday and Thursday

I might be wrong, but I believe they spray this down and then spread the fine gravel over it. They rarely ever do this here.

 

you can smell the cancer from here

0.00" here.  Guess we'll try again tonight.

Same.  Worried the storms will slide south of us again tonight

getting excited about potential storms tomorrow night and Sunday evening

With calm winds got down to 35.  Avoided another frost and looks like it’s full speed ahead on planting the garden

Excited to see convection over the next week

Only got down to 35 here. Think the wind stayed up just enough to prevent the cold air drainage
