DISCUSSION...WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE GRADUALLY INCREASED
ACROSS FAR SOUTH-CENTRAL WI/FAR NORTHERN IL EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...INITIALLY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY /WITHIN 25 MILES/ OF

CONFLUENCE/DIFFERENTIAL HEATING RELATED TO A PRIOR OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
FROM LATE LAST EVENING/OVERNIGHT. AS ADDITIONAL
HEATING/DESTABILIZATION OCCURS THIS AFTERNOON...THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
INCREASE IN COVERAGE/INTENSITY SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS ADDITIONAL

CAPE/STEEPENING LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF STRONGER
DOWNDRAFTS CAPABLE OF LOCALIZED WIND DAMAGE THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE
