UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 12Z TAF ISSUANCE
KEY MESSAGES
- SUB-SEVERE WIND GUSTS (40-50MPH) ARE POSSIBLE FOR A FEW HOURS EARLY
THIS MORNING AS A LINE OF STORMS MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN WI.
- SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY RE-DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON.
THESE STORMS MAY POSE A SEVERE WIND AND HAIL THREAT THROUGH THE
EVENING.
- THUNDERSTORMS COULD BRING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TO THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON , WITH RAINFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR
RESULTING IN LOCALIZED FLOODING ESPECIALLY IN URBAN AREAS.
- TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY WILL TREND BACK ABOVE AVERAGE TODAY,
WITH NEAR TO ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPS CONTINUING INTO NEXT WEEK.

MESOANALYSIS...
A PERSISTENT MCV PRODUCING SUB-SEVERE WIND GUSTS (40-50MPH) IS
MOVING EAST ACROSS NORTHERN WI THIS MORNING. WITH A WELL ESTABLISHED
COLD POOL, FAVORABLE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR ORIENTATION, AND 1000-2000 J/KG
MLCAPE THIS MCV SHOULD MAINTAIN ITS STRENGTH FOR A FEW MORE HOURS
DESPITE RAP ANALYSIS SHOWING 200-300 MLCIN. ADDITIONALLY A FEW POP-UP
CELLS HAVE DEVELOPED AHEAD OF THE MCV ALONG A NORTH/SOUTH ORIENTED
WARM FRONT THAT IS DRAPED ACROSS CENTRAL WI. WILL NEED TO MONITOR
ANY CELL MERGERS FOR ANY POSSIBLE QLCS TYPE SPIN-UPS. CONVECTIVE
ACTIVE WITH THIS MCV SHOULD START TO WANE AS IT MOVES INTO NORTHEAST
WI AROUND DAYBREAK WHERE DEW POINTS ARE ONLY IN THE LOW 60S.
AFTERNOON/EVENING SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...
THE SLOWER START TO LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION OVER MINNESOTA HAS
COMPLICATED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENINGS SEVERE THREAT TO SOME
DEGREE. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT CONVECTIVE INITIATION WILL BE
FOCUSED ALONG A REMNANT COLD POOL FROM THIS MORNINGS CONVECTION AS
WELL AS ANY DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARIES THAT RESULT FROM THIS
MORNINGS CLOUD COVER. THE COLD POOL IS CURRENTLY SAGGING SOUTHEAST
WARD ACROSS NORTHWEST WISCONSIN AND EASTERN MINNESOTA AND IS PROGGED
TO BE DRAPED FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST WI BY THIS AFTERNOON. THE
PRIMARY DRIVER OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE ROBUST
INSTABILITY (SBCAPE 2000-3000 J/KG). THIS SHOULD RESULT IN RAPIDLY
DEVELOPING UPDRAFTS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND UP TO 60 MPH
WIND GUSTS. HOWEVER, WITH A RELATIVE LACK OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND
DISORGANIZED HODOGRAPHS UPDRAFTS SHOULD QUICKLY CUT OFF FROM THE
SURFACE BY THEIR ASSOCIATED DOWN DRAFT. CAMS DO SHOW SIGNS THAT
CLUSTERS OF CELLS MAY ALSO GROW UPSCALE INTO A LINE SEGMENT WHICH
MAY ALSO INCREASE THE SEVERE WIND THREAT AHEAD OF ANY BOWING
SEGMENTS. THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD BEGIN TO WANE THIS EVENING AS
INSTABILITY DECREASES. GIVEN THE COMPLEXITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TODAY
CONFIDENCE REMAINS RELATIVE LOW WITH THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS
EVENT.
IN ADDITION TO SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK FOR
MINOR FLOODING TODAY PRIMARILY IF ANY BACK BUILDING OR TRAINING
STORMS DEVELOP OVER ANY URBAN AREAS. PWATS AROUND 1.6" ARE NEAR THE
90TH PERCENTILE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AND WARM CLOUD DEPTHS ARE OVER
13KFT. THIS MAY RESULT IN PERIODS OF 1-2" HOUR RAINFALL RATES.
MONDAY'S THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...
BROAD ASCENT RELATED TO AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND JET STREAK MOVING
OVER THE STATE MONDAY MAY SET THE STAGE FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. THERMODYNAMICS ARE FORECAST TO BE FAVORABLE
FOR A FEW MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS AS SBCAPE BUILD TO 750-1000 J/KG
AND LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN TO 7-7.5 C/KM AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. 40-45KTS OF 0-6KM SHEAR WILL ALSO BE IN
PLACE WHICH MAY ALLOW FOR SOME STORMS TO BECOME ORGANIZED. RESULT IS
SHALLOW INVERTED-V SOUNDINGS AND STRAIGHT ELONGATED HODOGRAPHS WHICH
SUPPORT STRONG WIND GUSTS AND UP TO 1" HAIL WITH AN STORMS THAT DO
DEVELOP ALONG OR JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT LATE MONDAY MORNING THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. A FEW CAMS ALSO INDICATE A FEW POST-FRONTAL STORMS
MAY DEVELOP. WITH THE COOLER MID-LEVEL AIR BEHIND THE FRONT THESE
STORMS MAY ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL.
REST OF THE WEEK...
GLOBAL ENSEMBLES SHOW PREVAILING NORTHWESTERLY UPPER LEVEL FLOW
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS A RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE CANADIAN
PRAIRIE. THIS PATTERN SHOULD BRING GENERALLY QUIET WEATHER TO THE
REGION, HOWEVER, ANY RIDGE RIDING SHORT-WAVES THAT HAPPEN TO
COINCIDE WITH PEAK DIURNAL HEATING COULD KICK OF A ROUND OF ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED SHOWERS OR STORMS. THE RESOLVABILITY OF THESE FEATURES
IS VERY LOW AT THE MOMENT SO KEPT NBM POPS AND THUNDER PROBS.
OTHERWISE TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN RELATIVELY STEADY THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK WITH HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE 70S TO 80S EACH DAY.
AVIATION
FOR 12Z TAF ISSUANCE
ISSUED AT 606 AM CDT SUN JUN 29 2025
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS CONTINUE TO WORK EAST ACROSS THE REGION
THIS MORNING WITH THE BULK OF THE LIGHTNING CURRENTLY OVER FAR
NORTHEAST WI AND ALONG THE LAKESHORE. AS THE STORMS EXIT THE REGION
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. ANOTHER ROUND
OF STRONG TO POTENTIAL SEVERE STORMS IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON (20-22Z) AND CONTINUES THROUGH THE EVENING. PERIOD DROPS TO
MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AS STORMS MOVE ANY TERMINAL. STRONG
WINDS GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS.
HAVE FRAMED OUT A BEST GUESS WINDOW FOR STORMS AT EACH TAF SITE WITH
A TEMPO GROUP. BEHIND THE STORMS LIGHT RAIN MAY LINGER INTO THE
NIGHT, BUT SHOULD NOT HAVE MUCH OF AN IMPACT. THERE IS A LOW-END
CHANCE ~ 20% FOR PATCHY FOG TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT, MAINLY ACROSS
NORTHERN WI WHERE SKIES MAY CLEAR OUT FOR A TIME. BEYOND THE TAF
PERIOD ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE MONDAY
MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL THE
MAIN CONCERNS.
GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
NONE.
