.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 339 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025

A band of light to moderate showers extended from RRL/AUW/CWA
east-northeast to northern Door County. These showers were 
supported by H8 WAA and moisture convergence along a fairly tight 
baroclinic zone. The showers have been very slowly weakening as 
they have drifted south this afternoon. Low stratus has held 
temperatures in the lower to middle 50s north, but clearing has 
allowed readings to rise into the lower to middle 70s in parts of 
central Wi and the Fox Valley.

Precipitation Chances through the rest of the Weekend:
Precipitation chances are difficult to pinpoint due to generally
weak forcing. CAMs suggest that the current showers will become
more scattered overnight, possibly increase again over our western
counties late tonight into early Sunday, then decrease in coverage
during the day. Kept chance pops going in our western counties
through the afternoon on Sunday, and carried a slight chance of 
thunderstorms late, as elevated instability will be arriving then.
East to southeast winds, combined with scattered showers and 
mostly cloudy skies, will keep temperatures from getting out of 
the 60s in northern WI, but low to middle 70s will be possible 
C/EC WI.

Stormy Period expected through much of the next Week: 
The Canadian high will shift east early in the week, which will
allow a warm front to lift north through the region Sunday night
into Monday. This will cause southerly winds to develop and bring
warmer, more moist and unstable air into the region. Scattered
storms could develop in association with the warm frontal passage.
A cold front will move through MN on Monday, reach northwest WI
Monday night, then shift into GRB CWA on Tuesday, with additional
rounds of storms possible during this period. The front will edge
eastward Tuesday night into Wednesday, with a surface wave lifting
northeast along the boundary on Wednesday. It is possible that the
front will be east of the forecast area by Wednesday, which would
push the best potential for severe storms to our southeast.
Although timing is uncertain, this period has potential for a
couple rounds of severe weather, given sufficient instability and
deep layer shear. Timing of individual short-waves may be the
determining factor in whether we see a more significant/widespread
event.

Models are showing an even more unstable pattern setting up Friday
into Saturday, but with potential for significant capping as a
very warm air mass arrives. This will bear watching, as models are
showing CAPE as high as 4000-6000 j/kg, along with fairly strong
deep layer shear.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/... 
Issued at 559 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025

Widespread stratus, ranging from IFR (north) to VFR (south)
persists late this afternoon with scattered showers extending
across parts of central into northeast Wisconsin and some
MVFR/IFR visibilities across northern Wisconsin.  

Generally expect similar trends overnight with the highest
chances for IFR ceilings/visibility across northern Wisconsin
and VFR more likely across the Fox Valley. Central Wisconsin,
including KAUW/KCWA may straddle the lower clouds, but chances
are at least medium (40-60%) for MVFR ceilings at KCWA 
overnight into Sunday, so kept that trend.

The higher shower chances (40-60%) will be focused across
central into northern Wisconsin overnight into Sunday, although
given the weak, broad lifting mechanisms for rain, timing and
coverage of showers may need to be adjusted in future updates.
Although some weak instability may work into central Wisconsin
early Sunday morning, thunder chances look to remain low (<20%)
through this TAF period.  

Easterly winds will trend southeast for parts of the area on
Sunday, but will remain light.
