.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 247 PM CDT Sun Sep 25 2022)
Tonight through Monday night:
We continue to see a few scattered showers across the area this
afternoon, which have put down some brief yet heavy downpours. As
we head into the late afternoon and evening hours, there remains
concern for a few strong to low-end severe thunderstorms. This
activity has already begun to develop across northwest Wisconsin
along the leading edge of a stronger shortwave, and have already
been efficient hail producers based on reports from NWS Duluth.
Forecast soundings continue to show a pocket of 500-1000 J/kg of
SBCAPE, mainly focused in the hail growth region, and more than
enough deep-layer shear to work with. Thus, nay stronger storms
will be efficient hail producers and could bring down some
stronger winds. These storms look to mainly move through between
5pm and 9pm. Then we should see skies gradually clear overnight.
Some drier air will move in overnight, but dewpoints in the 40s
and breezy nocturnal boundary layer winds should help keep
temperatures from bottoming out, with lows mainly in the 40s.
On Monday, areas that start off clear will see an uptick in cloud
cover throughout the day as daytime heating and mixing increase.
This cloud cover should keep things locally cooler (mid to upper
50s) across northeast Wisconsin and along Lake Michigan. Areas
across southwest Wisconsin will likely see the warmest conditions,
warming into the lower 60s.With cooler air aloft and 20-30kt
winds aloft, expect another day with breezy northwest winds.

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 247 PM CDT Sun Sep 25 2022)
Tuesday through Sunday:
A highly amplified trough-ridge-trough pattern spanning the CONUS
will lead to a continuation of north-northwest flow across the
western Great Lakes region through mid-week. This will favor a
cooler, drier stretch of weather as a high pressure slowly drops
south from the Canadian Prairies. Tuesday looks to be the last
day with gusty winds impacting the area, then conditions look to
become much less windy as the surface high moves overhead through
mid-late week. We will need to continue to monitor the need for
frost headlines Tuesday night and Wednesday night, especially
inland from Lake Michigan. Current forecast lows in the low to
mid 30s for Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, which is around the
50th percentile. Thus, there is the potential for temperatures to
come in colder as we get closer.
Eventually the amplified upper-air pattern flattens out across
the central CONUS. Temperatures will steadily moderate through the
end of the week and into next weekend as high pressure moves east
of the region. It continues to look dry during this time period,
with shortwave activity tracking east-southeast across the
northern Plains and into Upper Great Lakes region.

.AVIATION...
(Issued 247 PM CDT Sun Sep 25 2022)
Showers and a few stronger thunderstorms remain possible through
this evening, with reduced visibilities, gusty wind and
marginally severe hail being the main concern with any stronger
storms. Otherwise, any lingering MVFR ceilings should lift into
the VFR category tonight. Northwest winds will persist tonight and
through Monday, with wind gusts relaxing a bit tonight in spots
tonight but should pick back up on Monday once we start to see the
influence of daytime heating and mixing. This daytime heating and
cooler air aloft will likely result in the redevelopment of MVFR
or low-end VFR ceilings on Monday.

.MARINE...
(Issued 247 PM CDT Sun Sep 25 2022)
The main marine concern are 1) the potential for a few strong to
severe thunderstorms later this evening, 2) northwest gales
especially across central Lake Michigan tonight through Monday
afternoon, and 3) continuation of small craft conditions for gusty
northwest winds through Monday.
In regards to the thunderstorm activity any stronger storms will
be capable of producing winds of 35-40kt and hail, mainly between
7 pm and 10 pm. Behind this thunderstorm activity cold air
advection begins to overspread Lake Michigan tonight and lingers
through mid-week. The synoptic pattern is favorable for the
development of low-end northwest gales as this cold air advection
overspread Lake Michigan, especially tonight through much of
Monday. A backdoor cold front will drop south on Monday, helping
to reinforce the surface pressure gradient and northwest winds.
The combination of the synoptic pattern and ensemble guidance
showing a higher potential for gales did lead to the issuance of
a gale warning for late tonight through Monday afternoon, mainly
for central portions of Lake Michigan. By Tuesday northwest winds
begin to relax some, but will remain between 20-30kt. High
pressure builds into the region for the mid to late week time
period, finally allowing the winds to relax across Lake Michigan.
