Updated aviation portion for 18Z TAF issuance

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 420 AM CDT Fri Jun 11 2021

Still very warm and humid today, then the temperature and humidity
to begin to settle back to more seasonal levels for mid-June.
Another round or two of scattered thunderstorms is likely this
afternoon into tonight.

A large scale upper trough will continue to evolve over New
England and eastern Canada the next several days. Meanwhile, a
strong shortwave was traversing the upstream ridge position over
the Plains. The ridge will shift wwd a bit and amplify once the
shortwave begins to pull off to the east. The result will be a
fairly amplified pattern across NOAM by the middle of next week
before another strong shortwave flattens the ridge again late in
the week.

Proximity to the upper ridge will result in another very warm and
humid day today. The upper flow tilting northwest will result in
a trend toward cooler temperatures and much less humid conditions
during subsequent days. But the transition to the cooler and less
humid conditions will probably be gradual and somewhat erratic. At
least a brief return to very warm conditions appears increasingly
likely at the end of the period as the next shortwave cresting
the ridge backs the upper flow westerly and drives the warm dome
with the ridge east again. Rainfall across the area is likely to
range from modestly below to modestly above normal at most
locations. But as is typical of convection, some areas will end up
well above normal. In any case, significant precipitation is
likely to be front-loaded in the 7 day period, with mainly just
scattered light-moderate amounts after tomorrow.

.SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Saturday
Issued at 420 AM CDT Fri Jun 11 2021

Resolving precipitation chances and timing were the main short-
term forecast issue this morning. Unfortunately, the specifics
were much more muddled than yesterday. So while most locations
will experience at least one or two rounds of convection during
the next 36 hours--the when and where were highly uncertain.

Isolated showers and thunderstorms continued to bubble up across
the area early this morning, mainly across the west and north
where some weak moisture convergence was occurring. Those may
continue into mid-late morning (mainly across the north). By that
time, a large MCS currently over the northern and central Plains
will probably be at our doorstep. The majority of the guidance
indicated the MCS itself will dissipate or turn SE and miss the
area as mid and upper level ridging persists across the area.
However, diurnal destabilization may again be sufficient to allow
convection to fire right across the area (focused near small scale
boundaries) around peak heating. The convection may tend to
organize into 1 or 2 large clusters or small MCSs late this
afternoon and this evening as large scale forcing increases as the
major shortwave finally arrives from the west and flattens the
ridge. The nocturnal storms could linger into Saturday morning.
There is also a chance there could be some redevelopment in the
east Saturday afternoon as low-level moisture will probably be
slow to scour out of the area.

Destabilization will probably be sufficient to support a low-end
(marginal) severe threat again today. The most likely time for
severe would be during the afternoon and evening, though the
threat could linger past midnight. Some localized flooding is
also possible.

Continued to lean heavily on the NBM for temperatures as it has
been performing very well in the current wx regime.

Outflow from last evenings storms seems to have temporarily
disrupted the lake fog, so allowed the MF.Y to expire. But the
fog will probably return at some point, so another advisory may be
needed at some point later today or tonight.

.LONG TERM...Saturday Night Through Thursday
Issued at 420 AM CDT Fri Jun 11 2021

Continued hot and humid weather through the weekend then becoming
seasonable early next week as the upper air pattern briefly
amplifies across central North America.  Because the building ridge
will be centered just upstream from the central Rockies to central
Canada, subsidence downstream of the ridge should lead to below
normal precip for the early to middle portion of next week.

Saturday night through Sunday night...Conditions will start out
quiet on Saturday night as high pressure moves into the region.
Clear skies and light winds should lead to cooler lows than previous
nights.  As the upper flow buckles, digging shortwave energy will be
moving into the Lake Superior region during or shortly after peak
heating on Sunday.  Instability (up to 1000 j/kg) isn't that
impressive across northern WI on Sunday afternoon, but wind fields
are a different story.  Both the gfs and ecmwf show upwards of 100-
110 kt jet streak overhead which generates deep layer shear of 60-70
kts.  If forcing is enough to overcome a lack of
moisture/instability, Sunday afternoon and evening could be an
interesting day from a severe weather perspective.  Cooler and drier
air will then start to move in behind the associated cold front late
on Sunday night.

Rest of the forecast...Cool, Canadian high pressure will then slowly
build southeast towards the area on Monday and Tuesday before
settling over the area on Wednesday.  Temperatures have trended
cooler during this period.  Once the high passes to the east, the
hot air dome from the west returns briefly for Thursday.

.AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1240 PM CDT Fri Jun 11 2021

The main aviation concern with this TAF issuance will be timing
of shower and thunderstorm potential at each of the TAF sites this
afternoon into tonight. One slow-moving band of storms already in
central Wisconsin with other isolated storms to the west. Unstable
air over the region should lead to additional scattered
thunderstorms this afternoon. A cold front is forecast to sweep
across the area tonight with more showers and storms, especially
during the evening hours. A few of these storms will be capable of
producing small hail, gusty winds and a quick lowering of vsby to
IFR levels.

Lingering showers later tonight into Saturday morning are
possible, along with lower cigs into the MVFR/IFR range. High
pressure to then build into the region for the rest of Saturday,
allowing for VFR conditions to return by mid to late morning.
