DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 223 PM CDT FRI AUG 14 2026
MODELS HAVE TRENDED THE BEST SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
SOUTH OF OUR AREA TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING, CLOSER TO THE
HIGHER INSTABILITY AND STRONGER LIFT OVER ILLINOIS. STILL,
MODEST ASCENT AND SOME WARM/MOIST ADVECTION SHOULD ALLOW A FEW
SCATTERED SHOWERS TO POP UP. HIGHEST CHANCE OF A SHOWER (30%
CHANCE) WILL BE ACROSS CENTRAL INTO EAST-CENTRAL WISCONSIN, BUT
MOST LOCATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN DRY INTO THE AFTERNOON
HOURS SATURDAY.
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH SATURDAY EVENING, MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING AS A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH CLIPS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES. ANOMALOUSLY HIGH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES (1.8 PLUS INCHES) SHOULD ALLOW
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP.
STRONGEST FORCING FOR ASCENT PASSING NORTH OF THE AREA SHOULD BE
SOMEWHAT DETACHED FROM THE STRONGEST INSTABILITY SOUTH OF THE
AREA, SO ASIDE FROM ISOLATED HEAVY DOWNPOURS, NOT EXPECTING
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM.
BEHIND THE FRONT, QUIET WEATHER WITH LOWER DEWPOINTS EXPECTED
FROM SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.
THE NEXT PERIOD OF ACTIVE WEATHER IS EXPECTED LATE TUESDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY, WITH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH ROTATING AROUND THE LONGWAVE
TROUGH OVER HUDSON BAY. SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ARE
EXPECTED TO BE IN PLACE, YIELDING A HIGH CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. SOME HINT OF JET COUPLING OVER WISCONSIN SO WE
WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS.
