DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 434 PM CDT SUN AUG 17 2025
THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY...THIS AFTERNOON'S SATELLITE AND RADAR
IMAGERY SHOWED A FEW SHOWERS DEVELOPING ALONG AN 850MB WARM FRONT IN
WEST-CENTRAL WI AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE. THESE
SHOWERS MAY REACH CENTRAL WI THIS EVENING, BUT GIVEN LOWER DEW
POINTS IN CENTRAL WI COMPARED TO WEST-CENTRAL WI, ANTICIPATE THESE
SHOWERS WILL STRUGGLE TO EXPAND EASTWARD. AS THE MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
SHIFTS MORE EASTWARD LATE THIS EVENING/TONIGHT, SOME CAMS INDICATE
CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG THE 850MB WARM FRONT BEFORE THE MAIN
AREA OF CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE EXPANDS/SHIFTS INTO
THE AREA MONDAY MORNING. ANY SHOWER ACTIVITY THAT MAY DEVELOP AHEAD
OF THE MAIN AREA OF CONVECTION WOULD BE ISOLATED AND BRIEF.
THE MAIN AREA OF SHOWERS AND STORMS LOOKS TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
FROM WEST TO EAST SOMETIME FROM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH EARLY MONDAY
AFTERNOON, WITH ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS POTENTIALLY
DEVELOPING MONDAY AFTERNOON AND PERHAPS MONDAY EVENING. ANY
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IN THE MORNING WOULD NOT BE SEVERE. HOWEVER,
IF ENOUGH DESTABILIZATION CAN OCCUR AFTER THE MORNING ACTIVITY,
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EAST-CENTRAL WI COULD SEE A FEW STRONG OR
SEVERE STORMS DURING THE MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING TIME FRAME. IF
THESE STORMS DEVELOP, DAMAGING WINDS, SMALL HAIL, AND HEAVY
DOWNPOURS WOULD BE THE MAIN THREATS. BY MONDAY NIGHT, RAINFALL
AMOUNTS 0.50 TO 1.00 INCHES ARE FORECAST. BUT, WITH PWATS OF 1.5 TO
2.25 INCHES, CANNOT RULE OUT THE POTENTIAL FOR TOTAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS AROUND 2 INCHES, ESPECIALLY IF STORMS MOVE OVER THE SAME
LOCATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, LOW-LYING AND URBAN AREAS IN PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL WI WOULD BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOODING, DUE TO RECENT
RAINFALL FROM SATURDAY.
REST OF THE FORECAST...FOLLOWING MONDAY'S SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED
CONVECTION, SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE INTO THE REGION FROM
THE NORTHWEST AS UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE AREA AS WELL.
THIS PATTERN, BRINGING DRY CONDITIONS AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPS, WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY FRIDAY BEFORE THE NEXT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY ARRIVE WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE SOMETIME
FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.
AVIATION
FOR 06Z TAF ISSUANCE
ISSUED AT 1038 PM CDT SUN AUG 17 2025
MVFR CEILINGS AND A FEW SHOWERS WERE OBSERVED OVER CENTRAL WI LATE
THIS EVENING. MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS
WERE ORGANIZING OVER EASTERN MN AND WESTERN WI, AND HEADED TOWARD
THE FORECAST AREA. THESE STORMS WERE FORMING IN ASSOCIATION WITH A
SHORT-WAVE TROUGH AND ROBUST WAA/MOISTURE CONVERGENCE.
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE
INTO THE SOUTHWEST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA LATE TONIGHT, THEN
SPREAD NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA ON MONDAY.
CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER TO MVFR/IFR OVER MUCH OF C/NC/FAR
NE WI AS THE STEADIER RAINS ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY.
PERSISTENT LOW STRATUS AND SOME LIGHT FOG IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE
NORTHWOODS THROUGH THE DAY. A WARM FRONT WILL APPROACH C/EC WI
LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING, AND THIS MAY TRIGGER SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS.
WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL SPREAD SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION
MONDAY NIGHT.
