LONG TERM
ISSUED 328 AM CDT SUN SEP 7 2025
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY:
A CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW APPROACHING THE WEST COAST WILL ASSIST
WITH BUILDING STRONG RIDGING ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND
ITS PROPAGATION EASTWARD INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST GOING INTO
TUESDAY. EXPECT WEAK LIFT ACROSS THE REGION AS TROUGHING EXITS,
REFLECTED IN A DIFFUSE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PROPAGATING
EASTWARD THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY
NIGHT.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW PERIODS OF PRECIPITATION CHANCES
(20 TO 30 PERCENT CHANCES) DURING THIS TIME FRAME, WITH THE
BETTER CHANCES TOWARDS CENTRAL WISCONSIN AND LOWER TO THE
SOUTHEAST. STEADY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED AS WELL,
BRINGING IN A RETURN TO WARMER TEMPERATURES INTO THE MIDDLE TO
UPPER 70S TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
BY WEDNESDAY MORNING, EXPECT REMAINING BROAD LOW PRESSURE TO
EXIT, AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS OVERHEAD. CURRENT MODELING
INDICATES WISCONSIN WILL REMAIN ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE
RIDGING THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.
THIS MAY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL WEAK SHORTWAVES BRINGING ADDITIONAL
PERIODS OF PRECIPITATION, THOUGH FOR NOW WILL LEAVE THE
FORECAST DRY UNTIL MORE CONFIDENCE IS REACHED. THIS WILL ALSO
ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN IN THE 70S TO NEAR 80 DEGREES
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.
