UPDATE
ISSUED 915 PM CST SUN NOV 2 2025
HAVE MAINTAINED 20-40% RAIN CHANCES FOR LATE THIS EVENING INTO
EARLY TONIGHT AS A TROUGH AND SURFACE BOUNDARY SWING THROUGH.
THIS IS DUE TO MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWING A FAIR AMOUNT OF DRY AIR
IN THE LOWEST 5-8 KFT, ESPECIALLY ALONG/SOUTH OF I-94. MIGHT
HAVE TO BUMP THE CHANCES UP A BIT IN THE NORTHERN FORECAST AREA
THOUGH IF THE AREA OF RAIN ACROSS SOUTHERN MN CONTINUES TO HOLD
TOGETHER. OTHERWISE, THE FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT.

SHORT TERM
ISSUED 310 PM CST SUN NOV 2 2025
TONIGHT AND MONDAY:
DEEP LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES EAST NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN
ONTARIO CANADA THROUGH TONIGHT, DRIVING BREEZY SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD
OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WORKING WITH AN APPROACHING 500MB
TROUGH, THIS FRONT WILL BRING 20-45% PRECIP CHANCES TO THE REGION
TONIGHT, MAINLY AFTER 9 PM CST. HIGHEST CHANCES ARE TOWARDS EAST-
CENTRAL WI, AND WOULD AMOUNT IN ONLY LIGHT RAIN TOTALS IF
APPLICABLE (AROUND A TENTH OF AN INCH OR LESS). OVERNIGHT LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 30S TO AROUND 40 EXPECTED, WITH THE
CLOUD COVER AND BRUTE FORCE WAA PREVENTING TEMPS FROM FALLING
FURTHER.
RAIN CHANCES CEASE BEFORE DAWN MONDAY, LEAVING DRY WEATHER AND
BREEZY WEST WINDS FOR THE DAYTIME HOURS. CURRENTLY EXPECTING 25
TO 30 MPH GUSTS FOR MONDAY, DECREASING AFTER DARK. SUNNY SKIES
ALLOW FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S.
SHEPPARD
LONG TERM
ISSUED 310 PM CST SUN NOV 2 2025
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY:
ANOTHER DAY OF RELATIVELY WARM (ABOVE AVERAGE) CONDITIONS IS
EXPECTED TUESDAY, WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60 AND
DRY WEATHER. HIGH PRESSURE PASSES SOUTH OF THE REGION, WORKING
WITH A CLIPPER SYSTEM NEAR SOUTH DAKOTA TO DRIVE LIGHT TO MODEST
SOUTH WINDS. ROUGHLY 10% PRECIP CHANCES INCLUDED IN THE FORECAST
TUESDAY NIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR THE PASSAGE OF THIS CLIPPER SYSTEM,
THOUGH MOST MODELS KEEP US DRY AND QUIET WITHIN IT'S WARM
SECTOR.
NEXT NOTEWORTHY CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION IS THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING (60%) AS A MORE ROBUST LOW PRESSURE
TRACKS THROUGH THE DAKOTAS / MINNESOTA AND CONTINUES EASTWARD.
WITH A GOOD CONSENSUS BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS, THIS
SYSTEM WILL DELIVER A BENEFICIAL RAINFALL ALONG IT'S COLD FRONT,
WITH MOST ENSEMBLE MEMBERS LANDING IN THE BALLPARK OF A QUARTER
INCH OF RAIN (OR 1 INCH FOR THE HIGHER PERCENTILE MEMBERS).
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM, A COOLING TREND IS EXPECTED, SENDING DAYTIME
HIGHS INTO THE 40S THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

AVIATION
ISSUED 915 PM CST SUN NOV 2 2025
GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BECOME WESTERLY BY LATER TONIGHT AS A
SHORTWAVE AND SURFACE BOUNDARY SLIDE THROUGH. STILL EXPECTING A
CHANCE FOR RAIN WITH THESE FEATURES LATE EVENING INTO EARLY
TONIGHT, WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR A GROUND WETTING RAIN NORTH
OF I-94. CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN VFR GIVEN A GOOD AMOUNT
OF DRY AIR IN THE LOWEST 5 TO 8 KFT PER LATEST MODELS SOUNDINGS.
KEPT A PERIOD OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IN THE TAFS TONIGHT AHEAD
OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY, GIVEN WINDS TO 45 KNOTS IN THE LOWEST
2 KFT. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND BREEZY WESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED
MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA, WITH DECREASING
WINDS MONDAY EVENING INTO MONDAY NIGHT WHEN THE HIGH MOVES MORE
OVERHEAD.

MARINE
ISSUED 310 PM CST SUN NOV 2 2025
29.2 INCH LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES EAST ACROSS NORTHERN ONTARIO
CANADA THIS AFTERNOON, RESULTING IN INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS
OVER THE WATERS. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED OVER NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE LAKE TONIGHT, WITH GUSTS AROUND 45 KNOTS. AS SUCH,
ALL NORTHERN OPEN WATERS REMAIN UNDER A GALE WARNING THROUGH 6 AM
CST MONDAY. LOW-END GALES ARE EXPECTED FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
LAKE MICHIGAN, BUT WITH A LATER ARRIVAL. AS SUCH, THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE OPEN WATERS IS UNDER A GALE WARNING FROM 6 PM CST THIS
EVENING THROUGH 6 AM CST MONDAY MORNING.
WINDS VEER FROM SOUTHWEST TO WEST AS A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE LAKE
LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. AREAS OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED
TONIGHT ALONG THE FRONT, DRYING OUT BY AROUND DAWN MONDAY. THOUGH
THE CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE RETREATS EAST- NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS
HUDSON BAY CANADA, WINDS REMAIN GUSTY THROUGHOUT THE DAYTIME AND
EVENING HOURS OF MONDAY, AND A FEW WESTERLY GUSTS TO GALE FORCE
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE. AN EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING GALE WARNING OR
A BRAND NEW GALE WARNING CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT FOR THIS
PERIOD, THOUGH OUR BEST GUESS IS FOR GUSTS TO HOLD JUST SHY OF
GALE CRITERIA.
WEST WINDS SUBSIDE MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE PASSES JUST SOUTH
OF THE LAKE ON TUESDAY, WITH LIGHT TO MODEST WEST WINDS, TURNING
SOUTH OVER TIME.
