KEY MESSAGES
- Showers and isolated thunder over north-central Wisconsin tonight through Saturday (60-70 percent chance of rain). Lower chances for showers and isolated thunder northeast to east- central Wisconsin (remaining dry until 30-50 percent chances arrive Saturday afternoon).
- Watching Monday for a chance of strong thunderstorms and locally heavy rainfall as a cold front crosses the region.
- Strong thunderstorms may again be possible Tuesday afternoon and evening as another cold front moves across the region.

Short Term...Tonight and Saturday
Doppler radar shows a line of broken showers associated with a cold front stretching from the western UP to southern Minnesota.
The front and associated showers will move very slowly tonight and only make minimal progress during the overnight hours. The scattered to isolated nature of the showers is expected to continue overnight as the forcing will be rather weak and spread out over a large area. Some modest MUCAPEs of a few hundred J/kg will mean some rumbles of thunder will be possible at times, but should not be ubiquitous. The abundant cloud cover across the region will keep temperatures mild tonight as lows range from the middle 50s across the north, with around 60 across the Fox Valley.
The front will make progress east on Saturday; however, there are signs the front will wash out as it heads east as the main mid level forcing lifts north over southern Canada and a modest mid level trough tracks to the south. This will create two areas of precipitation that will affect north-central and central Wisconsin with the northern stream system and possibly the Fox Valley and lakeshore with the southern stream system. There are some models that keep the Fox Valley and lakeshore dry on Saturday, which is entirely possible given the weak southern stream system. However, there are signs that this system will at least provide a glancing blow to the lakeshore, if not affect the rest of east-central Wisconsin. Once again some modest MUCAPEs of a few hundred J/kg will keep the chance for a few thunderstorms possible across the area.
The precipitation forecast will play a role in high temperatures on Saturday as more precipitation would hold down high temperatures while less showers would mean warmer temperatures.
The coolest temperatures will be across north- central Wisconsin and the lakeshore given the higher chances for rain (40-60 percent) with highs around 70. The warmest temperatures will likely be across the Fox Valley and portions of central Wisconsin given the lower rain chances (30-40 percent) with highs in the lower 70s.
Long Term...Saturday Night Through Friday
Main focus of the long term forecast period revolves around a couple chances for showers and thunderstorms beginning Sunday night through Wednesday.
Saturday Night through Sunday...As a weak mid-level ridge develops over the region most areas will become dry Saturday night, with the exception possibly being a few lingering showers and storms behind a departing short-wave. Model trends over the past 24-hour have slowed the onset of precipitation Sunday and it now looks like the daylight hours should stay dry. This drier trend also helped boost high temperatures a few degrees Sunday afternoon with inland areas forecast to reach the upper 70s to low 80s, while lakeside areas peak in the upper 60s.
Sunday Night through Monday night...Ensemble guidance has come into better agreement with respect to an upper-level shortwave and surface low pressure system ejecting out of the northern Plains into the western Great Lakes Sunday night through Monday.
An initial northward surge of warm moist air with a developing low-level jet may initiate scattered showers and storms late Sunday night into Monday, however, this showers and storms may remain spotty as there is a lack of stronger forcing. With diurnal stabilization no severe storms are expected with this initial round of precipitation, however, isolated storms may produce some gusty winds, especially across central and northern WI there the 850 mb winds in the low- level jet are forecast to reach 35-40kts.
The better chance for a few stronger to possible severe storms comes later Monday morning into the afternoon with the passage of the attendant cold front. Models are showing a wedge of 600- 1200 J/kg of SBCAPE extending into central and northern WI during this period. However, the instability during this period will depend on how the atmosphere destabilizes after the expected initial round of showers and overcast skies. Temperatures Monday are forecast to be slightly warmer than normal with highs in the middle 70s to low 80s away from Lake Michigan and about 5- 10 degrees cooler lakeside.
Tuesday through the end of the extended...The unsettled pattern is expected to continue through the middle of next week. Ensemble guidance is in broad agreement with a system propagating across the northern Plains and dragging a cold front across Wisconsin sometime Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Both the GFS and ECMWF are showing abundant SBCAPE Tuesday afternoon and slightly above normal PWAT values. While the details and timing of this system need to be refined over the coming days, this time period does bear watching, especially for those with outdoor or travel plans Tuesday afternoon. Temperatures are expected to peak next Tuesday before beginning a slightly downward trend to normal or just slightly cooler than normal.
