.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 213 PM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025
Showers and Thunderstorms: Earlier convection that brought 30-40
mph wind gusts and heavy rain to Waushara County have shifted out
over Lake Michigan and has resulted in effective instability being
dampened out into early this afternoon. Instability is trying to
increase recently, but SBCAPES are still mainly less than 400j/kg
over the area. A few lightning strikes have developed northwest of
Green Bay, but higher res guidance/CAMs that are handling current
trends best, point to only isolated showers and storms through
end of peak heating late this afternoon. Risk of stronger storms
has diminished as greatest instability and re-inforced frontal
boundary have set up farther south over southern WI. SPC marginal
risk for severe is now completely out of our southern forecast
areas. Some potential for a few more showers and storms to drift
in late over the north from ongoing storms over Upper Michigan. By
mid to late evening, risk for storms will be finished over the
area as wave of sfc low pressure shifts east and a more stable
northeast flow spreads in from Lake Superior and Upper Michigan,
along with northern Lake Michigan.
Late tonight into Tuesday, cyclonic northeast low-level flow and
weak secondary shortwave dropping across may spur on a few more
showers over northeast and east-central WI. Minimal thunder expected
as instability will be on the wane, shifted farther south and east.
Dense Fog/Visibility: Fog that shrouded much of northeast WI and
the waters of the bay and Lake Michigan has cleared out. Exception
is over northern Lake Michigan and the bay around Washington
Island, where areas of fog remain. Models that are handling
fog/current visibility trends best point to fog lingering over
northern portions of the lake, with another round of expansion
over land areas later this evening and especially overnight.
Signal is not as definitive as what occurred for last night and
soundings point to mix of stratus and fog as there is a bit more
wind late tonight to mix very low levels. Will mention in HWO and
let evening shift assess potential for another Dense Fog Advisory.
Outlook beyond Tuesday...No high impact weather is expected as
pattern turns less active. Models and ensembles are back and forth
with how far north midweek low pressure system tracks. Blended
guidance has trended a bit lower for pops on Wednesday, but still
have some slight chances over east-central WI. Greatest instability
remains well displaced to the south/southeast, which should limit
the potential for thunderstorms during this period. By the end of
the week, a ridge is forecast to develop over Wisconsin, which
should bring dry conditions through the weekend. This ridging is
expected to continue into the start of next week. Temperatures
are forecast to remain at least slightly above normal right
through the first half of next week. Normal highs now are in the
upper 60s to near 70.

.AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1057 PM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025
Isolated showers developed in portions of east-central WI late
this evening, occasionally moving over ATW and MTW. Otherwise, a
low stratus deck and dense fog was slowly expanding over far
northeast WI, with patchy fog, some dense, prevailing elsewhere.
Main impacts will continue to be the expected low stratus and fog
expanding across all TAF sites overnight into Tuesday morning with
IFR/LIFR conditions. Conditions will gradually improve from IFR
to MVFR by midday Tuesday, and eventually to VFR by late Tuesday
afternoon. However, MVFR cigs will remain at the RHI TAF site for
the remainder of the day and through the end of this TAF period.
