Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Cleveland, WI

SHORT TERM
Issued 415 AM CST Sat Nov 8 2025

Today through Sunday night:

The strong shortwave trough moving into the wrn Dakotas early this morning will catch and merge with a shortwave over NE and reach ne MO and se IA by 00Z Sun. A weak sfc low will move across nrn MO this afternoon then move along the Ohio River Valley through tnt, while the aforementioned upper wave moves along the northern portion of the Ohio River Valley. Thus the best PVA, Fgen, and WAA at the jet level sets up across nrn IL.
The ensemble mean QPF of the Canadian, ECMWF, and GEFS keeps the axis over nrn IL with heavier amounts along the lake. Light rain will first develop over sw WI this afternoon and transition to light snow, while the light rain and snow will spread across much of srn WI by 00Z Sun, but there is some doubt on precipitation even occurring toward central WI. Any snow accums will remain under an inch and mostly after dark for srn WI. The rain may not change to snow within several miles of Lake MI until late evening from Milwaukee south to Kenosha.

A rather large nrn stream upper trough will then dig swd from Canada into WI for Sun and Sun nt. Very steep lapse rates due to -24C 500 mb temps will support scattered snow showers later Sun afternoon and evening in addition to the potential for a lake effect snow band to move onshore. High temps only in the lower to middle 30s on Sunday with wind chill temps climbing into the lower 20s.

LONG TERM
Issued 415 AM CST Sat Nov 8 2025

Monday through Friday:

Ensembles continue to suggest cold temperatures below seasonal normal values Sunday night into Tuesday, with highs only in the middle to upper 30s Monday. Lows Sunday night should be in the upper teens to lower 20s, with lower to middle 20s Monday night.
Wind chills should be in the teens Sunday night and Monday night with 20s Monday.

500 mb cluster analysis suggests the deep and anomalously low 500 mb height trough should gradually push east of the region by later Tuesday into Wednesday. General northwest flow with the trough well east and a ridge developing to the west may result over the region later in the week. Warm air advection may occur at times Tuesday into the rest of the week, which should allow for temperatures to moderate closer to seasonal normal values.
Gusty winds may continue to occur, with the relatively tight pressure gradients over the region during the week.

AVIATION

Areas of Cigs below 1 kft will be possible over far srn WI.
Vsbys within the light rain and snow will range from 1-3SM for the afternoon and evening. Decreasing clouds are then expected from west to east across srn WI late tnt with VFR conditions returning, but with brisk north winds on Sunday.

Light to modest north to northeast winds today into the evening.
Low pressure around 29.7 inches will then move quickly from the Central Great Plains this morning to the Ohio River Valley tonight. North to northeast winds will pick up late this evening as the low approaches, becoming north to northwest later tonight into Sunday behind the low. Gusts Sunday and Sunday night may reach gale force, and a Gale Watch has been issued for the southern half of the lake. Heavy lake effect snow showers are expected for Sunday night into Monday. Winds will vary between northwest and southwest the first half of next week, while remaining gusty through this period. Winds may approach or hit gale force at times again Tuesday through Wednesday. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect from Sheboygan to Winthrop Harbor for late tonight through Monday due to brisk north winds and high waves.
