  Isolated hail up to 1" or gusty winds could occur, mainly
  across far northeast Wisconsin.

- Additional showers/storms likely (60-80% chance) late Friday
  into Saturday. Confidence in severe storms is low, but
  locally heavy rain may occur.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 213 PM CDT Tue Jul 8 2025

Scattered Storms Through This Evening...

Broad mid-level trough will pass across the northern Great Lakes
this afternoon into early evening. Overall, limited synoptic forcing
and modest low-level convergence should tend to keep convection
isolated to scattered and fairly disorganized, with the higher
chances along the WI/MI border. Mid-level lapse rates should be
rather weak, but RAP/SPC mesoanalysis suggest MLCAPE reaching
1000-1500 J/kg across eastern Wisconsin this afternoon. With
30-40 kts of effective bulk shear, hail or gusty winds could not
be ruled out with any more persistent cores, especially across
far northeast Wisconsin where temps aloft are cooler and forcing
from the shortwave may be a bit stronger, but the overall
threat looks quite limited. SPC did add a marginal (level 1 of
5) risk for severe storms for a small area of northeast
Wisconsin to account for this risk. Storms may persist into the
evening before diminishing as instability wanes.

Mid Week into Early Next Week...

Surface ridging will provide dry weather for the mid-week period.
The next period of focus for more impactful weather comes Friday
into Saturday as a shortwave trough emerging from the central
Rockies interacts with a broader trough approaching from the
northern plains. Rich moisture will be advected northward in advance
of this system with precipitable water values forecast to exceed the
90th percentile relative to climo, based on the NAEFS. Although
synoptic and mesoscale details remain unclear, the environment
would support the potential for locally heavy rainfall. Right
now, the NBM shows the footprint of highest probabilities for at
least 1" of rain during this time (30-50%) across parts of
Minnesota and western Wisconsin. The degree of destabilization
remains unclear on Friday, and with relatively weak deep layer
wind shear expected, the overall severe weather threat looks
rather low for now, with the various machine-learning outputs
showing general 5-15% probabilities for severe weather across
the area on Friday. The timing of the wave could impact
rain/storm chances heading through Saturday.

Otherwise, a typical mid-July weather pattern will continue late
this weekend into early next week with quasi-zonal flow across the
northern tier of states and any showers/storms tied to lower
predictability shortwave troughs. No clear precipitation signal is
evident at this time.

Temps generally look seasonable over the next week with a slow climb
for mid to late week along with increasing humidity levels late this
week.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1159 AM CDT Tue Jul 8 2025

Scattered storms (30-60% chance) will develop by mid-afternoon
before weakening in the evening. Some uncertainty in coverage
exists, although the highest chances appear to be focused across
far northeast Wisconsin. Updates likely will be needed, based
on afternoon trends.

Otherwise, a weak front will slide through this afternoon and
evening with winds becoming light overnight. As low-level flow
shifts northerly overnight, some guidance suggests MVFR/IFR
stratus developing for a period overnight into Wednesday
morning, so have trended that direction for this issuance.
