SHORT TERM
ISSUED 950 PM CDT FRI JUN 12 2026
TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT:
A WSWLY LOW LEVEL JET OF 30-40 KT WILL EXTEND EWD ACROSS NRN
IA, FAR SRN MN, AND INTO CENTRAL WI TNT. WARM, MOIST ADVECTION
AND FRONTOGENESIS WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SHOWERS AND SCT
STORMS OVER THE SRN HALF OF MN MOVING INTO CENTRAL WI LATER THIS
EVENING. A FEW OF THESE SHOWERS MAY EVENTUALLY CLIP MQT, GREEN
LAKE, FOND DU LAC, AND SHEBOYGAN COUNTIES DURING THE OVERNIGHT.
AN ADDITIONAL AREA OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY THEN DEVELOP EARLY
SAT AM OVER ERN NE AS DEEPER MOISTURE RETURNS ON THE LOW LEVEL
JET. THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL WEAKEN THROUGH THE MORNING BUT
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY CONTINUE WITHIN THE 850 MB
FRONTOGENETIC ZONE THAT EXTENDS INTO CENTRAL WI. THE SFC-850 MB
FRONTAL ZONE WILL THEN SLOWLY SHIFT SEWD ACROSS SRN WI THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WITH ITS SLOW MOTION DUE TO THE LATE
ARRIVAL OF THE UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE TROUGH FOR SUN AM. MLCAPES
MAY RISE TO 1000 J/KG BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON WHILE DEEP LAYER
SHEAR OF 50 KT WILL BE IN PLACE. THIS CAPE AND SHEAR COMBINATION
COULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT SEVERE STORMS, BUT OVERALL WEAK LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND LACK OF DYNAMICS ALOFT SHOULD LIMIT THE
SEVERE STORM THREAT TO THE MARGINAL RISK THAT IS OUTLOOKED. RAIN
CHANCES OF 20-40 PERCENT ARE FORECAST FOR THE EARLY AFTERNOON
THEN TRANSITIONING TO 60-70 PERCENT ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE
FROM CEDARBURG TO JUST SOUTH OF MADISON TO SW WI FOR LATE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

LONG TERM
ISSUED 950 PM CDT FRI JUN 12 2026
SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY:
A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PASS SUN AM WITH COLD ADVECTION CONTINUING
MUCH OF THE DAY ALONG WITH BROKEN CLOUD COVER. THUS HIGH TEMPS
ARE ONLY FORECAST TO RISE INTO THE UPPER 60S.
ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL CONTINUE TO ARRIVE NEXT WEEK
ON NWLY FLOW ALOFT DUE TO THE LARGE UPPER LOW OVER ONTARIO. THE
FIRST WELL ORGANIZED UPPER TROUGH WILL BRING RAIN CHANCES OF
60-80 PERCENT TUE AFTERNOON, BUT THE SECOND UPPER TROUGH MAY
RESULT IN CYCLOGENESIS FROM THE GREAT PLAINS INTO THE GREAT
LAKES OR OHIO VALLEY FOR WED-WED NT. THERE IS MUCH UNCERTAINTY
WITH THE STRENGTH, PLACEMENT, AN OVERALL EVOLUTION OF THE
CYCLOGENESIS, BUT RAIN CHANCES WILL STILL REMAIN HIGH (60-80
PERCENT). TEMPS WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THEN
REBOUNDING LATE IN THE WEEK.
