SHORT TERM. (Issued 240 PM CDT Tue May 11 2021)
Tonight through Wednesday night:
Well defined lake breeze boundary has shifted inland per visible satellite. Winds have shifted to the east and temps along the lake have dropped into the mid 40s.
Overall, high pressure will dominate this period with another chilly night in the works. Given the evolving light winds with the high drawing even closer and clear skies will hoist another frost advisory. There is some concern a few areas could go even colder especially in SC WI due to the drier airmass and proximity to the core of lightest winds. For now will go with frost for the headline but it is plausible that some spots slip into the upper 20s. With the weak flow across the area on Wednesday expect a lake breeze to set up again. Still another shot at some frost coming up on Wednesday night.

LONG TERM. (Issued 240 PM CDT Tue May 11 2021)
Thursday through Tuesday:
We will continue to have quiet weather across southern Wisconsin on Thursday and Friday as high pressure holds strong over the region. The high pressure ridge is slower to move out than previously forecast. Weak shortwave energy could kick off a few showers Friday and Saturday afternoons. Light winds will allow for a lake breeze each day, but lakeshore areas should at least be able to achieve upper 50s to around 60 for the high. Inland areas should reach the upper 60s, but would not be surprised to see a few spots hit 70 with this dry and sunny air mass overhead.
The upper level flow will become more zonal for the weekend, so expect increasing chances for showers. The best chance for showers and perhaps thunderstorms in southern WI looks like it will hold off until Sunday night or Monday now.

AVIATION. (Issued 240 PM CDT Tue May 11 2021)
Diurnally driven VFR cumulus field will dissipate with loss of heating this evening. High pressure will remain in control through Wednesday and beyond. With the overall light wind regime in place, another lake breeze will develop on Wednesday.
Collar
MARINE. (Issued 240 PM CDT Tue May 11 2021)
High pressure building into the area will dominate for the rest of the week. Thus, not expecting any headlines to be needed across either the nearshore or open waters of the lake.
