Looks like another active two day period with the front slowly progressing southward and multiple MCs's coming through the area,  Enhanced risk this Sat and tor warning already out this a.m. north of LaCrosse.

Things look pretty primed this afternoon for much of Southern Wisconsin for mainly a wind damage threat.

The MCS along the IA/MN, if it maintains, will be the story for today...and a likely derecho, which would take aim for S WI/N IL.

 

It developed 9-10PM last night near the MT/WY/SD border area. It has had widespread reports, some of which have been sig.

Looks like central to ne IA into southern WI is becoming the prime area to watch for possible derecho development later today per SPC multiple parameters and radars.

It’s gonna be hard for any development to occur until post frontal passage, due to the strong capping...as evident by ~16C at 700mb.

 Mesoscale Discussion 1546
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0159 PM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019

   Areas affected...Portions of northern Illinois and Chicagoland Area

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 201859Z - 202100Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...As thunderstorms/outflow near northern Illinois, intense
   convection is possible given the extreme buoyancy in the area.
   Uncertainty remains as to how far south ongoing/newly developing
   convection will push into northern Illinois. A WW is possible should
   convective trends become more clear.

   DISCUSSION...A relatively narrow corridor of undisturbed airmass
   remains in far southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.
   Temperatures have risen into the upper 80s F to low 90s F with
   dewpoints holding in the upper 70s F. Two ongoing linear segments in
   southwestern and southeastern Wisconsin will likely continue to sag
   slowly southward with time. Given the extreme buoyancy -- MLCAPE of
   4000+ J/kg -- intense convection is possible with damaging winds
   being the primary threat. With the low-level shear vector oriented
   nearly parallel to the outflow, it is uncertain how much development
   will occur southward into Illinois. However, HCRs are currently
   visible on visible satellite imagery in northeastern Illinois. Even
   subtle lift from the outflow boundary may allow parcels to reach
   their LFC. A WW is possible should trends reveal convection is more
   likely.

That mesoscale discussion is the one I have been waiting for.

And here's the new meso discussion

 Mesoscale Discussion 1554
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0654 PM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019

   Areas affected...portions of northern MO...west-central IL and
   southeast IA

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch needed soon 

   Valid 202354Z - 210100Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...Damaging wind threat may persist into portions of northern
   MO and west-central IL this evening as a bowing storm cluster shifts
   southeast from IA. Damaging winds will be the main concern and a
   watch will likely be needed soon.

   DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms across south-central IA is becoming
   better organized this evening as it has begun interacting with
   outflow boundary from earlier convection. Wind gusts greater than 60
   mph have already been measured with these storms, which are
   occurring in a strongly unstable environment with MLCAPE greater
   than 3000 J/kg and 2-6 km lapse rates around 8 C/km. Effective shear
   across the region is modest, around 25-35 kt, which is sufficient to
   maintain organized updrafts. Forecast RAP soundings indicate a
   deeply mixed boundary layer with favorable conditions for strong
   downdrafts. While storms may track south of stronger deep layer
   flow, buoyancy will remain more than adequate to maintain
   convection, especially if upscale growth into a mature bowing
   segment continues. As such, a severe threat with damaging wind
   potential could persist south and east of WW 534. Current track
   guidance shows convection near the end of the watch in the next
   30-60 minutes, so a downstream watch will likely be needed soon.

Yesterday morning's derecho meant business.  Gusts of up to 90 mph laid waste to a corridor between Wisconsin Rapids and Appleton, leaving tens of thousands without power.  Damage is so extensive that power is expected to be out for several more days and the mayor of Wisconsin Rapids declared the city a disaster area.  Surprised that there's no mainstream coverage of this event whatsoever.  These aren't little unincorporated villages we're talking about but modestly sized population centers.  (Maybe it's because no one was live streaming the event on social media?)
