Possible significant severe weather event to unfold Saturday in the upper midwest. If we can get Friday nights MCS up and out of here to provide ample surface heating, things could get interesting Saturday afternoon/evening.
There will be a east-west oriented warm front draped across southern Wisconsin.
ETA paints ~3000 j/kg SFC cape, 200 m2/s2 of helicity and an EHI around 2.5 to 3.0. Also there will be around 30 kts 0-1 KM deep layer shear, low LCLs, dew points pooling 65-70F, LI's to -8, and the LID erodes rapidly during the afternoon.
Tornado frenzy? We shall see. I'm charging my batteries.
