AREAS AFFECTED...NORTH CENTRAL/NERN WI...EXTREME SOUTH CENTRAL UPPER
MI

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 171820Z - 171945Z

ONE CONVECTIVE CELL OVER PRICE CNTY WI HAS INTENSIFIED SUBSTANTIALLY
DURING THE PAST HOUR AND IS EXHIBITING A MID-LEVEL MESOCYCLONE. THIS
CELL HAD BEEN PART OF A NARROW N/S BROKEN LINE OF STORMS MOVING EWD
20 KT ACROSS NWRN WI. THE CONVECTIVE LINE NOW APPEARS TO
TRANSITIONING INTO A LINEAR MCS WITH LEADING STRATIFORM
PRECIPITATION WITH ADDITIONAL CELLS DEVELOPING INTO LINCOLN CNTY
IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH.

THIS ACTIVITY IS ALONG AND NORTH OF A WARM FRONT LIFTING NWD ACROSS
WI...AND WELL EAST OF THE PRIMARY LOW LEVEL JET AXIS THAT EXTENDS
FROM ERN SD INTO NWRN MN. THERE APPEARS TO BE A WEAK PERTURBATION
IN THE UPPER FLOW APPROACHING THE MN ARROWHEAD THAT MAY BE ENHANCING
THIS CONVECTION...AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 35-40 KT IS SUFFICIENT TO
SUPPORT OCCASIONAL SUPERCELL CHARACTERISTICS. ENVIRONMENT AHEAD OF
THE SYSTEM OVER NERN WI IS GRADUALLY DESTABILIZING AS LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE INCREASES NWD...AND IF THIS TREND CONTINUES SEVERE
POTENTIAL MAY ALSO INCREASE.
