A cold front remains largely inactive across eastern north dakota, while a larger low pressure system is spinning over the central mississippi valley. The far northern edge of the cirrus associated with this southern system continues to reach northeast wi. However, any deeper moisture remains north and south of the region. With a dry airmass in place, forecast concerns revolve around clouds and temps tonight, and small precip chances on Tuesday afternoon as the front from the north moves into the region. Tonight... Low pressure will continue to spin over the southern ohio valley, while the surface ridge axis will weaken over northern wi. As minor height falls occur aloft, will see mid and high clouds push in from the south and across northeast wi. Low levels will remain dry though, so no threat of precip. Temps will continue their slow warming trend and will go with a range from the low 30s over the north to the upper 30s over the southern fox valley. Tuesday... Will continue to see some high clouds along the lake michigan shoreline during the morning, but those clouds should depart by midday. Then attention turns to the west where a digging shortwave trough will push a weak cold front across the northern and central parts of the state during the afternoon. The shortwave itself appears relatively robust and will bring a moderate amount of upper support. However, moisture as well as low level convergence are lacking, so coverage of showers appears isolated to scattered at best. Will keep a small chance of showers from the fox valley to north-central wi for the afternoon. Otherwise, clouds will be on the increase during the afternoon with highs ranging from the low to mid 60s in the east to the low to mid 50s over vilas county. Long term Tuesday night through Monday issued at 206 pm cdt Mon apr 23 2018 the effects of the cold front, arriving late Tuesday afternoon, will linger into the start of the long term for Tuesday night. |
Kept slight chance pops for Tuesday night due to possible post- frontal rain. This shortwave trough cold front will exit the region by early Wednesday morning. In addition, cooler air will funnel in behind this front, causing Wednesday high temperatures to rise slightly below normal with even cooler temperatures along the lakeshore. The next shortwave trough cold front will move into the region Thursday afternoon. Model guidance is in better agreement with timing and the evolution of this system compared to yesterday. However, the GFS and canadian present more mid-level frontogenetic forcing allowing for more lift and precipitation to occur. The forecast timeframe for precipitation would be Thursday evening and Thursday night. The precipitation would start as rain then transition to a mix or all snow before ending Friday morning. Then quiet weather returns for next weekend. Temps return above normal by Sunday. Aviation For 00z TAF issuance issued at 602 pm cdt Mon apr 23 2018 ridge of high pressure extending over the great lakes region will continue to produceVFR conditions and light winds through the period. A weak cold front will approach the area on Tuesday afternoon. A slight chance of showers will be possible along it during Tuesday afternoon and evening. However chances are too low to include in the tafs with this issuance. Will handle the front with increasing clouds and lower CIGS on Tuesday. Hydrology Issued at 206 pm cdt Mon apr 23 2018 river levels continue to rise from the snow melt runoff. A few rivers have already reached minor flood stage as of this afternoon, with many others forecast to reach or exceed bankfull this week. There are a few chances of rain this week, Tuesday afternoon and then again toward Thursday afternoon and Thursday night. Both systems are not expected to generated much rainfall, so runoff will occur from the warmer temperatures chipping away at the snowpack. The upcoming weekend looks dry as well.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
