9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus63 kmkx 202351 afdmkx area forecast discussion national weather service milwaukee sullivan wi 651 pm cdt Fri sep 20 2019 Update Despite a relatively unstable airmass, little in the way of convection was able to develop this evening, due to an absence of any organized source of lift. A few storms tried to develop across extreme southern rock county, but have since fizzled. With the impending loss of sunlight, things should remain dry through the rest of the evening hours. Southerly winds will begin to increase overnight as low pressure lifts from eastern colorado into south dakota. Before the winds pick up, some fog is possible later this evening, though it should not be terribly widespread. Any fog that does form should dissipate before dawn as winds increase and mid and high level clouds stream into the area. Didn't make any significant changes to the timing of showers thunderstorms for tomorrow. Convection should begin to overspread the area from the west and southwest around sunrise, with a gradual eastward expansion through the morning. Will probably see multiple waves of showers and thunderstorms through the day tomorrow, so despite high pops, some breaks are likely. A more continuous period of convection is more likely tomorrow night as the front begins to approach. Aviation(00z tafs) Vfr is expected through the night, with just some mid and high level clouds streaming in toward morning. Some fog is not entirely out of the question, but is not currently expected to be widespread enough to have a significant impact at the terminals. Showers and thunderstorms are then expected to push into the area from west to east tomorrow morning, with MVFR visibility and MVFR to ifr ceilings. This activity will persist in at least a scattered fashion through much of the day. South to southwest winds will also be on the increase, with gusts into the 20-25 knot range at times. Prev discussion (issued 356 pm cdt Fri sep 20 2019) short term... tonight and Saturday - confidence... Medium lingering anticyclonic flow in the low levels and aloft breaks down this period as low pressure approaches from the plains. A southerly flow will be on the increase and will become quite gusty on Saturday. Moisture transport will be enhanced with the northward pull of tropical moisture from the southern plains. With |
extensive cloud cover CAPE should be somewhat limited. But have increased pops as the day wears on Saturday to account for better mid level forcing as well as the lower level moisture advection. Long term... Saturday night through Sunday... Forecast confidence is medium. The upper jet will sit over the upper midwest through the weekend, along with the leading edge of an upper trough. A surface trough will be the focus for repeated rounds of thunderstorms with the focus over southern wisconsin to northeast wisconsin and lake michigan. The trough will finally slide southeast by Sunday night. Monday... Forecast confidence is medium. The closed upper low will side through the great lakes region on Monday. Cyclonic flow will keep us in the clouds at least Monday morning and we could see some light showers as well. Tuesday through Friday... Forecast confidence is medium. Our next chance for showers and thunderstorms will be with the next upper trough swinging through and an associated cold front. Warm air advection will arrive during the day Wednesday and the front will slide through Wednesday afternoon or evening. The ecmwf is showing a stronger upper trough than the GFS at this time. Yet another round of showers and storms will arrive Friday. This surface low should focus more toward lake superior at this time. Marine... Lingering influence of high pressure tonight though the high shifts east with an evolving southerly flow. Some fog out on the lake so an advisory may eventually be needed should overall coverage increase. Southerly flow increases on Saturday. As a surface low approaches on Saturday expect winds up to 30 knots across the lake. A small craft advisory will likely be needed for Saturday afternoon and night. Rounds of rain and thunderstorms are also expected before the front pushes through Sunday afternoon and evening. Winds will also decrease and shift to the west to northwest into Monday. Mkx watches warnings advisories Wi... None. Lm... None. Update... Boxell tonight Saturday and aviation marine... Boxell Saturday night through Friday... 99 |

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. |
