Thunderstorm forecasting the past several days has been exhausting and incredibly difficult. No different today with a hot and humid airmass in place, fostering moderate to strong sfc based instability. Previous runs of the convective allowing models did show the potential for a very strong line of thunderstorms during the morning to midday hours, but given the lack of development across WI at this time, seems hard to see that coming to fruition, at least in the way/time that was previously thought. Based on the RAP progged fields, it does appear a convectively charged feature out of MN moves northeast within the southwest flow aloft, potentially aiding in some thunderstorm development mid afternoon into the evening. Not entirely confident on this potential overall, but there is a signal at least for the 4-6PM start time for strong to severe thunderstorm development, damaging winds and hail the main threats. Additional energy and thunderstorm complex inertia will make a run at northern MI tonight, and much like this past night, there is a chance for the activity to lose steam to some degree. That being said, tonight will feature the best chance for thunderstorm coverage. Any storm has the potential for heavy rain (strong instability and anomalous moisture), strong winds, and hail.
