DISCUSSION

FOG TONIGHT...
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WILL
BRING BACK GROUND FOG TO THE REGION TONIGHT AND MAY ALLOW FOR SOME
FOG ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN AND ALONG THE SHORELINE AS WELL. BEST
FOG POTENTIAL WILL LIKELY BE AROUND PORTIONS OF NORTH- CENTRAL
WISCONSIN, WHICH WILL BE ALONG THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE MOISTURE
PUSH WHILE ALSO HAVING THE COOLER AIR TEMPERATURES. PROBABILITY OF
LESS THAN A MILE VISIBILITY REMAINS LOW (<20%) SO WIDESPREAD DENSE
FOG SEEMS UNLIKELY.
PRECIPITATION...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT MOVE TOWARDS THE REGION OVERNIGHT,
GETTING INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. SOME ELEVATED
INSTABILITY IS EVIDENT ON SOUNDINGS, BUT OVERALL PRECIPITATION
CHANCES SEEM LOW FOR THIS PERIOD (~20%). WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WILL
BE A BETTER WINDOW FOR ANY CONVECTION, AS THE FRONT SLOWLY CROSSES
INTO THE AREA AROUND PEAK HEATING. SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY
BRINGS CAPE VALUES TO AROUND 1500-2000 J/KG, WHICH WOULD READILY
SUPPORT SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDER. THE LIMITING FACTORS FOR STORM
ACTIVITY WILL BE A LACK OF UPPER SUPPORT AND VIRTUALLY NO SHEAR IN
THE ENVIRONMENT. AS A RESULT, THE AFTERNOON WOULD LIKELY SEE SOME
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED PULSE STORMS. THE PULSY NATURE OF THE STORMS
WILL MAKE FOR AN ISOLATED WIND CONCERN, AS ANY STRONGER STORMS
COULD PRODUCE A BRIEF, LOCALIZED DOWNBURSTS. IF STRONGER STORMS
WERE TO FORM, THE BEST POTENTIAL WILL BE AROUND AND JUST AFTER
PEAK HEATING WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE SLOW MOVING AND PULSY NATURE
OF THE STORMS WILL ALSO LEAD TO VERY LOCALIZED RAINFALL, SO KEPT
POPS TO AROUND 40% AS NOT ALL OF THE AREA WILL SEE RAIN TOMORROW
AFTERNOON.
THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT WILL STALL OUT ACROSS NORTHERN WISCONSIN
BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS UPPER RIDGING TO OUR EAST LEADS TO A MORE
STAGNANT PATTERN. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT
TIMES ALONG THIS FRONT, AFFECTING PRIMARILY PORTIONS OF WESTERN,
NORTHWESTERN, AND NORTH-CENTRAL WISCONSIN WHILE LITTLE IN THE WAY
OF RAIN GETS INTO EAST-CENTRAL WISCONSIN. THE FRONT WILL THEN
FINALLY PROGRESS THROUGH THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. ASIDE FROM
WEDNESDAY, STRONG OR SEVERE POTENTIAL WITH ANY OF THESE ADDITIONAL
STORMS WILL BE LITTLE TO NONE.
FINALLY, ANOTHER PUSH OF PRECIPITATION ARRIVES EARLY NEXT WEEK,
WITH SOME STORM POTENTIAL AGAIN. SEVERE POTENTIAL IS STILL TOO
EARLY TO DETERMINE.
TEMPERATURES...
THE WARMEST DAYS IN THE FORECAST WILL BE TODAY AND WEDNESDAY,
WITH HIGHS INTO THE 80S. A SLOW COOL DOWN IS THEN EXPECTED INTO
THE WEEKEND, WITH HIGHS GETTING BACK INTO THE 70S OVER THE
WEEKEND.
AVIATION
FOR 18Z TAF ISSUANCE
ISSUED AT 1248 PM CDT TUE SEP 16 2025
GOOD AVIATION CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE
AFTERNOON WITH CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS ACROSS THE AREA. PATCHY
FOG THEN DEVELOPS AGAIN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, WITH GROUND FOG LIKELY
ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND NORTH-CENTRAL WISCONSIN AGAIN
TONIGHT, WITH THE DENSER FOG LIKELY ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL
WISCONSIN. PROBABILITY OF FOG WAS TOO LOW FOR ATW AND GRB TO
INCLUDE IN THIS TAF TONIGHT, BUT MAY SEE THIS ADDED BACK IN IF
CONFIDENCE INCREASES BY THE NEXT TAF ISSUANCE. SOME FOG WILL ALSO
BE POSSIBLE OFF OF LAKE MICHIGAN OVERNIGHT, WHICH MAY BRING SOME
LOWER CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY TO THE SHORELINE INCLUDING MTW.
ONCE THE FOG BURNS OFF AGAIN TOMORROW, ANOTHER PERIOD OF QUIET
FLYING CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
NONE.
