DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 413 AM CDT FRI OCT 17 2025
SHOWERS HAD DECREASED IN COVERAGE OVER THE PAST COUPLE HOURS, IN
RESPONSE TO A WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTH INTO UPPER MICHIGAN.
HOWEVER, WAA IN ASSOCIATION WITH A 30-40 KT LOW-LEVEL JET WAS
STILL GENERATING SCATTERED SHOWERS IN A VERY MOIST AIR MASS (PWATS
1.25-1.50 INCHES). TEMPERATURES WERE QUITE MILD EARLY THIS MORNING,
WITH READINGS IN THE 50S TO AROUND 60 RANGE.
ANY LINGERING SHOWERS SHOULD SHIFT NORTHEAST OF THE REGION
SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK, WITH PARTIAL CLEARING AND INCREASING
SOUTH WINDS (GUSTING TO 25 TO 30 MPH) HELPING TO BOOST
TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 60S TO MIDDLE 70S THIS AFTERNOON.
LOW PRESSURE IN MANITOBA WILL TRACK INTO NORTHWEST ONTARIO,
WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVING INTO NC/C WI LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS TO
NORTH CENTRAL AND CENTRAL WI LATER TODAY, AND TO THE REST OF
THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT ARRIVES SATURDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT, WITH A
POTENT NEGATIVELY-TILTED SHORT-WAVE INDUCING CYCLOGENESIS ALONG
THE BOUNDARY AS IT SHIFTS EAST OF THE REGION LATE TONIGHT INTO
SUNDAY MORNING. MODELS HAVE TRENDED A BIT FARTHER EAST WITH THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM, THUS REDUCING POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN IN
EASTERN WI, AND LOWERING THE PROBABILITIES FOR GALE FORCE GUSTS ON
THE NEARSHORE WATERS OF LAKE MICHIGAN. WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN WILL STILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION LATE SATURDAY
INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, AND GUSTS OVER THE LAND AREAS SHOULD
STILL REACH 25 TO 30 MPH ON SUNDAY. RAIN TAPERS OFF BY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON, WITH DRY WEATHER PERSISTING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT AND SHORT-WAVE ARRIVES MONDAY AFTERNOON
AFTERNOON AND EVENING, ALONG WITH POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD LIGHT
TO MODERATE RAINFALL, WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY.
SMALL PRECIPITATION CHANCES LINGER THOUGH THE MID TO LATE PART OF
THE WORK WEEK, ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHEAST HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA.
AFTER A WARM START TODAY AND SATURDAY, TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
TO TREND CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.

FOR 06Z TAF ISSUANCE
ISSUED AT 1035 PM CDT THU OCT 16 2025
SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A LOW
LEVEL JET DEVELOPS ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. MAINLY VFR
CIGS ARE EXPECTED, WITH SOME MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE AT TIMES WITH THE
SHOWERS. SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE; HOWEVER, THE
CHANCE FOR THUNDER IS QUICKLY WANING AS INDICATED BY LIGHTNINGCAST
AS THE MUCAPES, WHAT LITTLE THERE WAS, ALSO DIMINISHES. THIS
ACTIVITY SHOULD EVENTUALLY SHIFT EAST EARLY FRIDAY MORNING, WITH A
BREAK IN THE ACTION BEFORE A COLD FRONT BRINGS THE CHANCE FOR
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY EVENING.
THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW-LEVEL JET WILL CREATE A PERIOD OF LLWS
OVERNIGHT, MAINLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN WI. SOUTHERLY
SURFACE WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO BECOME BREEZY WITH GUSTS
REACHING 15-20KTS LATER TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
NONE.
