DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 334 AM CDT THU JUN 12 2025
A SURFACE FRONT WILL STAY WELL TO THE SOUTH TODAY, WHICH SHOULD
KEEP MOST OF THE SHOWERS TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE AREA. SOME
ACTIVITY MAY DRIFT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA IN THE
VICINITY OF THE 850 MB WARM FRONT. OTHERWISE, MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES
ARE EXPECTED TODAY WITH SOME WILDFIRE SMOKE MAKING IT TO THE
SURFACE AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING. THE SMOKE WILL CAUSE
SOME HAZE AND VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS, AS WELL AS AIR QUALITY
CONCERNS WITH AN AIR QUALITY ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON. HIGHS
TODAY WILL BE LOWER WITH THE SURFACE FRONT TO THE SOUTH, WITH
LOWER 70S EXPECTED AWAY FROM THE LAKE AND 60S EXPECTED NEAR LAKE
MICHIGAN.
THE WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH TONIGHT, AS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES
BRINGS SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA
TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THE BEST CHANCE (80-90 PERCENT) WILL BE
ACROSS NORTHERN WISCONSIN LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THE
HIGHEST QPF AMOUNTS HAVE SHIFTED A BIT OUT OF OUR AREA AS THE
CHANCE FOR 1 INCH OR MORE DURING THIS PERIOD FALLING TO 20-40
PERCENT AND THE CHANCE FOR 2 INCHES OR MORE LESS THAN 10 PERCENT.
THEREFORE, THE THREAT FOR FLOODING APPEARS TO BE LOWER WITH THIS
SET OF MODEL RUNS.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY
AS THE 850 MB FRONT REMAINS ACROSS THE REGION. HOWEVER, WITH THE
MAIN MID LEVEL TROUGH WELL TO THE SOUTH THE HEAVIEST RAIN SHOULD
BE OVER BY THIS PERIOD OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE FORECAST DRIES
OUT A BIT FOR THE SECOND PART OF THE WEEKEND INTO THE VERY EARLY
PART OF NEXT WEEK. THE PATTERN THEN FLATTENS OUT WITH A PARADE OF
MID LEVEL SHORTWAVES BRINGING A RETURN TO AN ACTIVE PATTERN
STARTING LATE MONDAY AND LASTING THROUGH THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT
WEEK.
TEMPERATURES WILL STAY ON THE COOL SIDE OF NORMAL THROUGH THE
WEEKEND, WITH A RETURN TO HIGHER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND
HUMIDITY EXPECTED NEXT WEEK.
