.UPDATE...
(Issued 949 AM CDT Sun Oct 4 2020)
Clouds have mostly cleared out this morning with a few exceptions
along the Lake. Will likely see some diurnal clouds develop
through the afternoon, but overall should be a pleasant fall day
with some sunshine and temps climbing into the mid 50s. Tonight
will be chilly with lows dipping into the low 30s as there will
be clear skies and light winds due the surface high passing to our
south. Thus, went ahead and issued a Frost Advisory for our CWA
overnight into early Monday morning. Otherwise, the forecast
remains on track with breezy, but warmer conditions expected for
early part of next week and a series of weak, dry cold fronts
through the middle of the week.

.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 350 AM CDT Sun Oct 4 2020)
Today through Monday:
Temperatures have fallen to at or near freezing across western
parts of the area that have cleared out. Some clouds associated
with the base of the 500 mb shortwave trough may move south
through parts of these areas, but light winds will continue to
favor lower to middle 30s. Thus, expanded the Frost Advisory to
include Dane, Green and Lafayette Counties until 8 AM CDT this
morning.
The 500 mb shortwave trough is expected to shift southeast of the
area today. There will be some low broken stratocumulus in
eastern parts of the area into this morning, less so to the west.
These should rise and gradually scatter out this afternoon. Gusty
north to northwest winds should develop into this morning with a
tight pressure gradient in eastern parts of the area. These should
linger before gradually weakening later today into this evening.
Cold air advection should limit highs to the middle 50s over most
of the area.
High pressure passing by to the southwest of the area tonight
should bring light winds and clear skies. This will allow
temperatures to quickly drop into the middle 30s by later this
evening, and lower 30s later tonight into early Monday morning.
High confidence in these temperatures occurring, with small spread
in the ensemble temperatures. Went near the NBM 25th percentile
for lows, mainly in the lower 30s over most of the area. Thus, a
Frost Advisory will be needed for the entire area in later
forecasts for later this evening into early Monday morning.
Warm air advection then kicks in for Monday, with gusty south
winds developing. A good amount of sunshine is expected as well.
This should allow for warmer highs into the lower 60s over most
locations.

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 350 AM CDT Sun Oct 4 2020)
Monday night and Tuesday
Latest short term guidance shows fairly good agreement in
weakening surface cold front swinging through southern WI late
Monday night into early Tuesday ushering in only a very brief and
weak surge of low level cold air advection. An associated weak
mid-level short wave trof will sweep through quickly during this
period, carried on brisk west to northwest steering flow. The
rapid movement eastward of this system will prevent any
significant low to mid-level moisture from meeting up with this
system, so the dry frontal passage will continue. Short wave
ridging in the wake of the front should result in at least partly
cloudy skies for most of the day. The partial sunshine and
westerly breezes should result in a pleasant day on Tuesday with
temperatures peaking in the pleasant mid-upper 60s.
Tuesday Night through Saturday:
Medium range guidance is trending deeper with low pressure and
short wave trof moving across southern Canada and the Great Lakes
later Tuesday night and Wednesday. The surface low looks to skim
the far northern Lakes but will have more vigor than the previous
system and will carry a stronger cold front across southern WI
later Tuesday night into the morning. Once again, the fast west-
northwest steering flow will prevent any deeper low to mid-level
moisture from returning into the area. Hence continuing dry
forecast during frontal passage, and also in its wake on
Wednesday.
High pressure and subsidence quickly builds into the upper midwest
on Wednesday and lingers across the area through Thursday night.
Patchy frost could become an issue again later Wednesday night.
The west-northwest steering winds become more zonal from Thursday
onward allowing warmer temperatures to return to the area. The dry
mid layers during the initial push of the warmer air Thursday
night and Friday looks like it should prevent any showers from
developing at this time. An amplifying trof over the western CONUS
over the weekend, will eventually return precipitation chances to
the midwest later in the weekend into early the following week.
But for now, wl continue dry forecast through Saturday, with high
temps back in the 70s on Saturday!

.AVIATION...
(Issued 949 AM CDT Sun Oct 4 2020)
Skies have mostly cleared out this morning and VFR conditions
will prevail with breezy north-northwesterly winds through the
afternoon. Can expect some mid-level diurnal clouds develop this
afternoon as well. However, as a surface high builds across the
Mississippi River Valley, winds will weaken through the evening
and skies will clear. As the high continues to skirt east across
the Ohio River Valley, winds will increase and become more
southwesterly for Monday, but VFR conditions should continue.

.MARINE...
(Issued 350 AM CDT Sun Oct 4 2020)
Breezy north to northwest winds will develop into today, before
weakening this evening. This will lead to building waves as well.
A Small Craft Advisory continues for the nearshore waters of
Lake Michigan from 10Z today until 00Z Monday north of North Point
Lighthouse, and until 04Z Monday south of there. A few 30 knot
gusts may occur over the southern portions of the open waters.
In addition, there is a slight chance for waterspouts into today,
as low level instability lingers, an upper level disturbance
passes through, and some showers move southward across the lake.
Breezy south to southwest winds will then develop for Monday and
Monday night, as low pressure pushes toward Hudson Bay. Gales
will be possible over northern and central Lake Michigan for late
Monday afternoon and Monday night. A Gale Watch is in effect for
this area.
A cold front associated with the Hudson Bay low is expected to
move across the lake early Tuesday. On Wednesday, low pressure
will move from just north of Lake Superior to north of Lake
Ontario, dragging another front across the lake. West to northwest
gales will be possible for a time behind both fronts, especially
for Tuesday night into Wednesday.
