Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Berlin, WI

SHORT TERM
Issued 1211 PM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Tonight through Saturday night:

Could see a few light snow showers in the east this afternoon, with clearing skies from the northwest the remainder of the day as high pressure builds in. A colder airmass aloft along with mostly clear skies and decreasing winds will allow for chilly lows overnight in the 0 to 5 above range. Below normal highs in the upper teens to around 20 are likely Saturday under the high, with increasing clouds in the afternoon ahead of a shortwave.

There will be a chance for light snow Saturday evening and overnight as the weak shortwave and a solid swath of warm air advection and frontogenesis aloft move through. Bumped the precip chances up a bit to the 20-50% range given the decent forcing, with the best chance for a couple to few tenths of an inch of snow northeast of a line from the Wisconsin Dells to Kenosha.

LONG TERM
Issued 1211 PM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Sunday through Friday:

Upper level ridging will build into the region early next week, with near normal temperatures Sunday warming to above normal for Monday and Tuesday. A weak shortwave may push through the area Sunday night, but models are generally keeping the precip chances north of the forecast area. Otherwise, dry weather is likely through early next week.

It's looking a little cooler the second half of next week as a troughing pattern returns to the region. Temps aren't expect to drop much though, with highs still near to a couple degrees above normal through this period. A weak shortwave or two may slide through later next week, but agreement among models on any particular system is low this far out in the forecast. Precip chances are thus generally 20% or less for Wed through Fri.

AVIATION
Issued 1211 PM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

A mix of MVFR and VFR ceilings currently across southern Wisconsin will gradually become all VFR conditions as clouds clear out northwest to southeast this afternoon into early evening. A few snow showers will be possible in eastern areas this afternoon, but most places will likely remain dry through the rest of the day. Breezy northwest winds will persist through late afternoon, decreasing during the evening. Light winds and mostly clear skies are then expected tonight into Saturday morning as high pressure builds into the area. There is a chance for light snow Saturday evening and overnight, mainly northeast of a line from the Wisconsin Dells to Kenosha.
Accumulations of 0.5" or less will be possible.

Issued 1211 PM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Gusty northerly winds will continue into this evening, gradually easing overnight into Saturday while becoming northwest as high pressure of 30.5 inches builds in from the northwest. The end timing of the Gale and Heavy Freezing Spray Warnings along with the Small Craft Advisory still look generally on track, with the headlines coming to an end later tonight. Could see extending the Small Craft Advisory and Heavy Freezing Spray Warning into early Sat morning if higher waves linger a bit longer.

Light winds later Saturday into Saturday night under the high will increase a bit out of the south later Saturday night into Sunday on the back side of the departing high. Light to moderate southerly winds are expected to continue through at least Monday night as low pressure of 29.8 inches approaches from the west.
