.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 346 PM CDT Tue Oct 7 2025

A cold front will continue to move through the region this
afternoon and evening, accompanied by scattered to broken cloud
cover, gusty NW-N winds and the arrival of a cooler and drier
Canadian air mass.

Frost/Freeze Headlines & Temperatures...Made some changes to the
ongoing frost/freeze headlines, as latest guidance keeps more of
eastern WI above freezing overnight and a lingering pressure
gradient supports persistent light north winds in eastern WI
through the night. The main change was to downgrade the Freeze
Warning to a Frost Advisory in southern Marinette, southern
Oconto, Menominee and Shawano counties, with a time match with
the existing Frost Advisory in the Fox Valley areas. Additional
frost/freeze headlines look likely Wednesday night, as Min
temperatures have been lowered several degrees, especially away
from Lake Michigan. The cool temperatures begin to moderate late
in the work week, and rise to well above normal again over the
weekend.

Precipitation...Canadian high pressure brings dry conditions
through Thursday, but southerly return flow brings a small chance
of showers Thursday night into Friday. After another dry period
for the first part of the weekend, southwest flow and increased
moisture brings a chance of showers at times from Sunday
afternoon through next Tuesday.

Skies have become clear across much of central and northern WI this

behind a weak cold-front, however, those clouds should clear over
the next few hours leaving clear skies overnight. Northwest winds
may briefly pick up behind the front with gusts of 15-20kts possible
through the evening. After sunset winds should diminish.
