DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 100 AM CDT SUN OCT 4 2026
RADAR CURRENTLY SHOWS SHOWERS HASTILY DEPARTING THE FORECAST AREA
EARLY THIS MORNING AS LLJ EJECTS TO THE NORTHEAST AND RAIN OUTRUNS
BETTER FORCING ALONG THE FRONT. SHOWERS SHOULD COMPLETELY EXIT BY
AROUND 08Z, THOUGH REMNANT MOISTURE UNDER SHALLOW INVERSION SHOULD
KEEP SOME LOW CLOUDS AROUND THROUGH MOST OF THE MORNING. SKIES
SHOULD THEN CLEAR OUT THIS AFTERNOON AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE
NORTHWEST AND COOLER, MORE STABLE AIR FILTERS IN.
FROST/FREEZE POTENTIAL... PAR FOR THE COURSE, FROST POTENTIAL ON
TRACK FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING AS HIGH SITS OVERHEAD,
WINDS DECREASE, AND WINDOWS FOR CLEARING OCCUR. MOS GUIDANCE ONCE
AGAIN SHOWING SOLID SIGNAL FOR TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 30S
OVER PORTIONS OF NORTH-CENTRAL TO FAR NORTHEAST WISCONSIN, WITH
A COUPLE COLD SPOTS ALONG THE UPPER PENINSULA BORDER EVEN
DROPPING BELOW FREEZING. HAVE OPTED TO THROW OUT A FROST ADVISORY
FOR AREAS NORTH OF HWY 29 WHERE CONFIDENCE IS GREATEST (60 TO 90%)
FOR TEMPERATURES BELOW 36 DEGREES. SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS NIGHTS,
POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR AN UPGRADE TO FREEZE WARNING FOR A COUNTY
OR TWO, THOUGH FORECAST LOWS BELOW FREEZING WERE NOT WIDESPREAD
ENOUGH TO DO SO ON THIS SHIFT. WOULD ALSO NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE
SOME SHALLOW GROUND FOG AROUND EARLY MONDAY MORNING DUE TO HIGH
RHS. FROST THREAT DECREASING FOR MONDAY NIGHT AS GRADIENT WINDS
INCREASE AND MID CLOUDS STICK AROUND.
DRY PATTERN AHEAD... RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE MAIN
DRIVER OF THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN THROUGH THE EXTENDED, WITH
ENSEMBLES CONTINUING TO MOVE THE MID-WEEK COLD FRONT THROUGH OUR
AREA MOSTLY DRY. BEYOND THAT, NOT SEEING ANY STRONG SIGNALS FOR
ORGANIZED SYSTEMS THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH. WITH
FROST/FREEZE HEADLINES ALREADY IN PLAY, THIS MAY RESULT IN
INCREASING FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS DUE
TO CURRENT DROUGHT STATUS AND INCREASING FINE FUELS.
