REMAINDER OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND...THE PREVAILING HIGH PRESSURE AND
UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING WILL KEEP DRY CONDITIONS IN PLACE FOR THIS
FORECAST PERIOD. THE ONLY MINOR IMPACT WOULD BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
PATCHY FOG TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING, BUT THE
POTENTIAL FOR DENSE FOG IS LOW. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE
NORMAL WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID 50S TO LOW 60S, AND HIGHS ON
LABOR DAY RANGING FROM THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S.
LATE MONDAY THROUGH LATE TUESDAY PRECIP/STORM POTENTIAL...THE RIDGE
AND HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY DEPART LATE MONDAY AS RETURN FLOW
SETS UP AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SYSTEM/COLD FRONT. AHEAD OF THE
FRONT, A SOUTHWESTERLY LLJ (35-45 KTS) AND INCREASING WAA WILL AID
IN RAIN SHOWERS AND A FEW ELEVATED STORMS STARTING LATE MONDAY NIGHT
IN NORTH-CENTRAL WI AND SPREADING/MOVING EAST/SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. IT
APPEARS THE MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE PRE-FRONTAL. GIVEN
THE GREATER INSTABILITY, STRONGER SHEER, STEEPER MID-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT, THIS LEADS TO A
CONDITIONAL RISK OF STRONG/SEVERE STORMS SOMETIME TUESDAY
EVENING/NIGHT, BUT WILL DEPEND ON FRONTAL TIMING AND HOW MUCH CLOUD
COVER WILL BE AROUND FROM THE MORNING PRECIPITATION. THERE WILL ALSO
BE AN INCREASED RISK OF HEAVY RAINFALL/DOWNPOURS GIVEN PWATS WILL BE
AROUND 1.75-2.00 INCHES THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. IN ADDITION TO THE
PRECIP/STORM POTENTIAL, BREEZY SOUTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED ON TUESDAY
GUSTING TO 20-25 MPH, FOLLOWED BY WESTERLY WINDS ON WEDNESDAY
GUSTING TO 30-35 MPH.
REST OF THE FORECAST...THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE DRY
WITH THE NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS ON FRIDAY EVENING INTO
SATURDAY. NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED ON THURSDAY, BUT
WILL RISE ABOVE NORMAL AGAIN FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.
