.DISCUSSION... Issued at 419 AM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025
Cold this morning, followed by moderating temperatures through the rest of the forecast period. One more dry day, then a more active setup starts to take shape.
Temperatures...Ongoing Frost Advisory remains in effect until 14Z/9AM. Temperatures at 4AM were mainly in the middle 30s across the advisory area. Temperatures moderate after this morning, with the rest of the week expecting readings AOA normal. Overnight lows will mostly be in the 40s, with daytime highs in the upper 50s and 60s.
Precipitation...Dry weather today, then opportunities for rain are on the horizon. A cold front and compact upper low bring a medium to high chance (40-60%) of rain tonight through Friday night. Coverage will initially be scattered to widespread, becoming widely scattered Friday afternoon after the surface front passes through. Isolated thunder is not out of the question due to a small bit of instability, but severe storms are not expected. Amounts will generally be around a quarter of an inch or less, with the highest forecast totals across far northern and northeast WI where NBM probabilities of at least a quarter inch range from 30-50%.
High pressure builds back for most of the weekend. Then, deep troughing develops across the western CONUS late this weekend with a strong upper jet stretching from the Four Corners Region to the Great Lakes. This will help send a few different features through next week which could bring rain. First, with a cold front Sunday night into Monday, followed by a low pressure system during the midweek, but models are not set on exact timing and specifics this far out.

.AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1219 PM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025
VFR conditions expected until late tonight/Friday morning, when MVFR ceilings impact NC/C WI. Showers and a few storms arrive after midnight in NC/C WI, reach the eastern TAF sites late tonight, then exit most of the forecast area by midday Friday. Confidence is too low to include storms at any of the TAF sites at this point.
Light to moderate SE-S winds prevail this afternoon and early tonight, then become S-SW and a bit gusty overnight into early Friday. Winds increase and turn W-NW as a cold front moves through Friday morning.
LLWS overspreads the region from west to east overnight and departs eastern WI late Friday morning.
