Updated aviation portion for 00Z TAF issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Wednesday
Issued at 356 PM CDT Tue Jun 8 2021

Scattered thunderstorms are possible this afternoon
through early evening along the Lake Michigan and lake Winnebago
boundaries. Thunderstorms are also expected ahead of a weak cold
front over northcentral Wisconsin late this afternoon. They should
move south before dissipating tonight. Winds aloft are very light,
so any thunderstorms could produce very heavy rain. Gusty surface
winds and possibly small hail could accompany the strongest
storms. Lows tonight will be about 10 degrees above normal.

Slightly cooler and drier air will arrive Wednesday behind the
weak cold front, but high temperatures will still be well above
normal. Scattered thunderstorms are possible across central and
northcentral Wisconsin in the afternoon.

.LONG TERM...Wednesday Night Through Tuesday
Issued at 356 PM CDT Tue Jun 8 2021

The main highlights from this forecast period are the continued
above normal temperatures through the weekend, followed by the
potential for a cool down early next week. Until that cool down,
sporadic chances for showers and storms are expected with a more
significant chance late Friday night through Saturday.

Wednesday night through Thursday night...Lingering showers and
storms across north-central WI will come to an end by late Wednesday
evening. Look for another humid night for Wednesday with low
temperatures well above normal in the 60s. An upper-level ridge,
with light winds aloft, will remain overhead into Thursday. This
will keep the warm, moist air in place. A surface boundary or some
sort of convergence from lake breezes appears to produce isolated
showers and storms in Upper MI late Thursday afternoon, which slowly
creeps south into north-central and far northeast WI Thursday
evening/night. In addition, a mid-level shortwave will slide
southeast over eastern Lake Superior/eastern Upper MI, which will
add to the shower and storm potential Thursday night. Do not
anticipate severe weather with these storms due to the weak bulk
shear. However, heavy downpours would be possible due to the slow
movement of any storms from the weak winds aloft. High temperatures
for Thursday will remain above normal with values ranging from the
middle 80s to lower 90s away from the lake, and upper 70s to lower
80s along the lake. Another mild and humid night is anticipated for
Thursday night as well with temps in the 60s.

Rest of the extended...While the boundary shifts slightly north into
Friday morning, the upper-level ridge will build right overhead.
This should keep most of Friday dry before a mid-level shortwave and
surface cold front moves into the western portions of the forecast
area Friday evening. The shortwave and cold front will slowly slide
southeast across the forecast area into Saturday evening. Showers
and storms are expected during this time, however, do not anticipate
severe weather occurring since bulk shear still doesn't look to
support severe storms, but the potential for heavy downpours will
remain possible. Beyond Saturday, the upper-level ridge breaks down
to a zonal flow Saturday night, then transitions to a northwest flow
on Sunday, which looks to continue through early next week. This
northwest flow will bring "cooler" and drier air to the forecast
area. High temperatures early next week look to drop back to the
upper 70s to middle 80s.

.AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 615 PM CDT Tue Jun 8 2021

Thunderstorms over northern WI will drift south and dissipate this
evening. They may make it as far south as AUW. Otherwise, expect
patchy fog to develop late tonight, with the most extensive vsby
restrictions expected near Lake Michigan. After the fog mixes out
early Wednesday, SCT diurnal cumulus should develop again. There
could be an isolated shower or storm over north central or central
WI later in the afternoon, but these are more likely to occur
west of our TAF sites.
