FORECAST FOR A A ROUND OR TWO OF HEAVY RAIN THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING REMAINS ON TRACK. A STRONG LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM IS EVIDENT ON WV IMAGERY OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES EARLY
THIS MORNING. THIS SYSTEM WILL PROGRESS EAST INTO THE NORTHERN
PLAINS TODAY WITH STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE LOW
DRAWING SEASONALLY HIGH MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. EXPECT RAIN TO
INITIALLY PUSH INTO CENTRAL WI DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON,
HOWEVER, THE EXACT TIMING FOR THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION REMAINS
SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN AS FORECAST SOUNDINGS DO SHOW DRY AIR IN THE
LOW-LEVELS THAT WILL NEED TO BE OVERCOME. THIS INITIAL ROUND WILL
LIKELY BE LIGHT TO MODERATE WIDESPREAD RAIN THAT SPREADS ACROSS
THE AREA BY AFTERNOON. A SECOND ROUND OF RAIN IS THEN EXPECTED
BEGINNING THIS EVENINGS OVER CENTRAL WI AS A STRONG LLJ PUSHES
NOISES INTO THE REGION. THIS SECOND ROUND IS EXPECTED TO BRING A
MORE FOCUSED AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN TO CENTRAL AND EAST-
CENTRAL WI LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. BETWEEN THESE TWO
ROUNDS OF RAIN HREF LPMM 24HR RAINFALL TOTALS SHOW A CORRIDOR OF
2-3" TOTALS SOUTH OF A LINE FROM WAUSAU TO STURGEON BAY WITH 0.5
TO 1" NORTH OF THAT LINE. THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THIS HIGHER END
CORRIDOR MAY STILL SHIFT NORTH OR SOUTH SLIGHTLY. A FEW EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM, BUT WEAK INSTABILITY
KEEPS THE SEVERE THREAT LOW. RAIN WILL COME TO AN END FROM WEST
TO EAST TUESDAY MORNING HIGH PRESSURE THEM BRINGING DRY CONDITIONS
FOR THE REMAINS OF TUESDAY AND MUCH OF WEDNESDAY.
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK A BAROCLINIC ZONE IS EXPECTED SET UP
OVER OR JUST SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL KEEP A 40-70%
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND, HOWEVER, IT WILL LIKELY NOT RAIN THAT ENTIRE
PERIOD. TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL NEXT
WEEK DEPENDING ON WHERE THE BOUNDARY SETS UP EACH DAY.
