Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Wind Point, WI

SHORT TERM
Issued 327 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024

Tonight and Sunday:

Gusty south winds continue ahead of the approaching cold front, with widespread gusts upwards of 30 mph already reported. Though the front is rather strong dynamically, instability along and ahead of the front is relatively weak, characterized by a well- mixed and relatively dry atmosphere. That said, a few weak high- based thunderstorms are possible this evening into tonight.

Skies clear out and northwest winds accelerate by sunrise Sunday, becoming gusty shortly thereafter.

LONG TERM
Issued 327 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024

Sunday night through Saturday:

High pressure looks to move slowly through the region Sunday night into Wednesday, providing dry conditions.

There has been a downward trend in low temperatures for Sunday night, with lows now in the middle to upper 30s expected over most of the area, except right along the lakeshore. Winds will become light overnight Sunday night into Monday morning, so radiational cooling should set the stage for some frost to develop. Later shifts may need to consider a Frost Advisory for this period if this trend continues.

Otherwise, temperatures should slowly warm into the middle of next week, as the high moves through the region with light winds and mostly clear to partly cloudy skies.

South to southwest winds the low levels are generally anticipated for the rest of the week and into Saturday, which should bring steady warm air advection and even warmer temperatures. Highs may approach 80 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the week. Fire weather conditions may become more of a concern later in the week as well, with the increasing winds, warming temperatures and dry conditions continuing.

Issued 327 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024

A deck of lake effect clouds near KSBM (2000 ft altitude) is expected to dissipate this evening, as winds shift from southeast to due south. Clear skies are expected elsewhere. Surface winds remain gusty into the evening, but winds aloft continue to accelerate and outpace the surface winds. Low level wind shear is included in the TAFs this evening.

A cold front crosses the region this evening through early tonight, bringing a 15 percent to 35 percent chance for showers and thunderstorms (highest probabilities further north towards Sheboygan). Associated clouds should be 5000 feet or higher. Winds veer due west behind the front, becoming gusty and veering northwest after sunrise Sunday. Dry weather, gusty northwest winds and VFR conditions (clear skies) are expected for Sunday.

Issued 327 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024

Southerly gales will continue through much of tonight ahead of an approaching cold front, with showers and thunderstorms developing in the evening and overnight hours ahead of and along this front.
Winds will then veer west-northwest early Sunday morning behind the front, with gusts up to 30 knots possible through Sunday evening. Northwesterly winds will diminish into Monday and remain light through much of the week, as high pressure of 30.1 inches builds into and lingers across the Midwest.
