AND STRONG WINDS AND ASSOCIATED WIND/MARINE HEADLINES...ARE THE FCST CHALLENGES THIS MORNING. THE INITIAL BAND OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED TSTMS LIFTED NORTH AND WEAKENED EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT ADDITIONAL BANDS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WERE DEVELOPING IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE NEGATIVELY-TILTED S/W TROF THAT WAS MOVG INTO SOUTHERN WI. A DEEPENING SFC LOW WAS SITUATED NEAR MADISON...AND WAS MOVG NNE. THE SFC AND UPPER LOWS WILL DRIFT NNE TOWARD NE WI AND THE CENTRAL U.P. TODAY...AND CAUSE SHOWERS TO CONTINUE OVER THE REGION.

HAVE OPTED TO ADD ANOTHER TIER OF COUNTIES TO THE WIND ADVISORY...SO AREAS FROM MFI TO GRB AND ALGOMA ARE NOW INCLUDED IN THE HEADLINE. THERE IS SOME CONCERN FOR HIGH WINDS IN OUR FAR SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES...AS BUFKIT SHOWS 60-70 KTS IN THE MIXED LAYER AT OSHKOSH LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

THAT BEING SAID...THE DAY SHIFT WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS.

THIS PATTERN WILL BE TEMPORARY AS THE FLOW SHOULD BECOME ZONAL BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

SKIES WILL START CLOUDY AND THEN TURN MOSTLY SUNNY AT MOST LOCATIONS FRIDAY AFTERNOON. LOWERED MINIMUM TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES ACROSS THE NORTH WHERE FRESH SNOW COVER WILL EXIST. A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH WISCONSIN FROM THE NORTHWEST SATURDAY NIGHT. LOW LEVEL NORTHWEST FLOW AND 850MB TEMPERATURES WERE COLD ENOUGH FOR SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS OFF LAKE SUPERIOR INTO FAR NORTHERN WISCONSIN. THE SYSTEM WILL DROP A WEAK COLD FRONT INTO NORTHERN WISCONSIN SUNDAY, BRINGING A SMALL CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS. NEXT SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW TO THE REGION ON TUESDAY. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS APPEAR TO BE LIGHT AT THIS TIME.
