SHORT TERM. (Issued 333 AM CST Wed Mar 3 2021)
Today through Thursday Night:
A cold front is expected to pass southeast through the area this morning, along with a 500 mb shortwave trough. Dry conditions are expected, with mostly sunny skies this morning into the middle afternoon hours. Some clouds may begin to move southeast into the area toward sunset, though not confident in this. Highs should be in the lower to middle 40s, highest west of Madison.
Strong high pressure will remain north of the region tonight into Thursday night, with light winds expected across the area. Dry conditions are expected during this period.
The main issue will be the extent of low clouds and fog possibilities for tonight into Thursday across the area. Short term models and forecast soundings are trying to bring low clouds into the area tonight, lingering into Thursday morning and perhaps into the afternoon. They also try to develop some fog in southwest parts of the area as well later tonight into Thursday morning. The NAM is more aggressive with low level saturation and deeper moisture than the GFS, which these models tend to be in these situations.
Think that the short term models and NAM may be overdone with the low clouds and fog, though can see some of this occurring with light winds and dew point depressions trying to lower toward 12z Thursday. There should also be some lake effect clouds that move onshore during this time, despite delta T values being borderline.
There should be an area of middle clouds that moves southeast through the area later tonight into Thursday as well, so will continue to bring mostly cloudy skies during that period. Kept highs in the middle to upper 30s for Thursday with the clouds and light northeast winds. Clearing skies Thursday night should bring lows into the upper teens to around 20, as light winds linger.

LONG TERM. (Issued 333 AM CST Wed Mar 3 2021)
Friday through Tuesday:
The overall upper air pattern will become meridional, with high amplitude ridging over the Canadian prairies, and deep troughing over far ern Canada for late week. This will yield a n-s sfc ridge from Canada into the wrn Great Lakes through Sat. The meridional pattern will then break down, with the upper ridge to shift across WI on Sun, followed by a shortwave trough Sun nt into Mon AM.
The associated low pressure area will track ewd across Canada, with breezy ssely sfc flow and warm advection over srn WI for Sun, becoming swly on Mon. The low will then drag a decaying cold front into srn WI for late Mon, with weak high pressure to follow. Temps will remain near or slightly above normal, with a more noticeable boost in temps on Sun into Mon.
A fairly large upper trough will then move into the wrn USA from the Pacific for Mon-Tue. Believe the GEFS is a little too fast with this feature, so held back rain chances until Tue nt-Wed. As deepening low pressure forms over the nrn Great Plains, sly flow will maintain very mild temps on Tue into Wed.

AVIATION. (Issued 333 AM CST Wed Mar 3 2021)
Low level wind shear conditions have ended, with the gusty 2000 foot AGL winds shifting southeast of the area.
A cold front is expected to pass southeast through the area this morning, with northwest winds shifting north and weakening this afternoon. Dry conditions are expected, with mostly sunny skies this morning into the middle afternoon hours. Some middle level clouds may begin to move southeast into the area toward sunset, though not confident in this.
Strong high pressure will remain north of the region tonight into Thursday night, with light winds expected across the area. Dry conditions are expected during this period.
The main uncertainty will be the extent of low clouds and fog possibilities for tonight into Thursday across the area. The low clouds with MVFR ceilings may occur later tonight into Thursday morning, with IFR ceilings possible southwest of Madison. Some light fog in this area may develop later tonight into Thursday morning as well. There should also be some lake effect clouds with MVFR ceilings that move onshore during this time.
There should be an area of middle clouds that moves southeast through the area later tonight into Thursday as well. Clearing skies are expected Thursday night.

MARINE. (Issued 333 AM CST Wed Mar 3 2021)
Low pressure over eastern Ontario will move east of the region today, with high pressure over Hudson Bay. A cold front will move southeast across Lake Michigan this morning, shifting west northwest winds to north this afternoon.
Strong high pressure will linger to the west of Hudson Bay tonight into Friday, before shifting southeast across Ontario this weekend. North winds are generally expected through the rest of this week, becoming northwest on Saturday. Winds should shift to the south later in the weekend.
Waves may increase somewhat over far southern portions of the lake later tonight into Thursday, with the north winds and long north to south fetch over the lake.
