.SHORT TERM...
Issued 320 AM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024
Today and Tonight:
Atmospheric conditions will change over most of the forecast
area after 15Z today. CAPE and overall moisture will be meager
after this time per models, as surface wind shifts more
westerly. Therefore, this afternoon and evening should be
generally dry. Temperatures will quickly rise by this afternoon
with many locations approaching the upper 80s and lower 90s.
Southern Wisconsin actually looks to be in a pinch this evening
and tonight between showers and thunderstorms to our south over
northern Illinois and another shortwave approaching from our
west. This wave should be monitored tonight, as cloud cover
increases. There also looks to be a weak surface boundary
setting up across the forecast area later tonight, which may
generate a few showers or an isolated thunderstorm, mostly near
Lake Michigan in far southeast Wisconsin.
KPL
&&
.LONG TERM...
Issued 320 AM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024
Wednesday through Monday:
Shortwave moves east Wednesday morning and early afternoon, as
drier air begins to advect into Wisconsin. Heights aloft then push
any energy well north of the forecast area. All indications are
that shortwave ridging will result in dry weather later Wednesday
through Thursday. In fact, it should be dry into early Friday
across southern Wisconsin.
Flow aloft then becomes more southwesterly on Friday with
increasing moisture aided by yet another low level jet for Friday
afternoon and evening. There also looks to be lift in the mid and
upper levels with another trough approaching Wisconsin from the
west. The result should be more thunderstorms, some could be
strong. It will also be quite warm on Friday.
There should also be a surface cold front moving through sometime
Friday night into early Saturday. Thinking the instability will
stick around for Saturday to keep some shower and thunderstorm
chances. Will have to keep an eye out for another shortwave aloft
during the day Saturday, possibly supporting steeper lapse rates
(and hence instability). Temperatures should be a little cooler
on Saturday.
Sunday and Monday in the extended then look dry and pleasant
across southern Wisconsin. No weather threats to consider at this
time, but will take a closer look as we approach the upcoming
weekend.

.AVIATION...
Issued 320 AM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024
Surface winds will decrease later this morning and afternoon.
Any remaining storms will dissipate or exit the region, leaving
VFR conditions for this afternoon and evening. There will
remain some cloud cover tonight into early Wednesday, but a
brief drying trend will occur across southern Wisconsin routes.
KPL
&&
.MARINE...
Issued 320 AM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024
Storms will move off the northern parts of Lake Michigan this
morning. There will be some clearing with less wind by this
afternoon. Winds will then be variable over most of Lake
Michigan through Wednesday. Isolated showers and storms remain
possible early Wednesday before a drying trend begins. Next day
for increasing waves and small craft concerns will be on Friday.
We will also allow the Small Craft Advisory to expire at 12Z.
