Monday and Tuesday...Forecast Confidence Moderate.

Monday will be a relatively quiet day across the area, with a
brief period of shortwave ridging moving through. Our next system
will develop across the southern Plains Monday, with a rapidly
deepening surface low lifting north into the Great Lakes Tuesday.
This system will bring another shot of rain, along with
considerable wind to the area. Another half inch to inch of rain
will be possible, along with wind gusts to 30-35 MPH.

Wednesday through Day 7...Forecast Confidence Moderate, becoming
Low.

Much colder air will build into the region Wednesday, with precip
perhaps ending as some light snow showers. Highs on Wednesday and
Thursday may struggle to make it into the 40s, with lows falling
into the 20s.

Forecast confidence falls off considerably by the end of the
workweek, with the potential for one or more storm systems to
affect the area as we head into next weekend. It is far too early
to determine precip type and impacts given wide model to model
and run to run variability. At the very least, it looks like our
active stretch of weather will continue into next weekend.

AVIATION(21Z TAF Update)...

Variable clouds continue across the area, with conditions
generally remaining VFR. This should continue into tonight, with
light and variable winds overnight.

VFR will continue into Saturday, with winds becoming more
southeasterly to easterly with time. Precipitation will begin to
overspread the area Saturday afternoon, but will likely hold off
from affecting the terminals until closer to 00Z. Along with the
rain, flight conditions will likely fall to MVFR and then IFR by
later Saturday into Saturday night.

MARINE...

A strong storm system will move into western Wisconsin late
Saturday, with strong southeast winds developing late Saturday
night and continuing into Sunday evening. Gales are likely across
both the nearshore and open waters, and a Gale Watch is in effect
starting late Saturday night. Gales to 45 knots are expected
across the open waters, and a few storm force gusts aren't
entirely out of the question for a brief time Sunday afternoon.

There will be a small window of quiet weather on Monday, before
another strong system approaches the area Tuesday and Wednesday.
Gales are likely to occur with this system as well.
