.SHORT TERM...
Issued 354 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025

Tonight through Tuesday night:

Increasing clouds tonight with lows in the low 20s and
northwesterly winds diminishing and becoming southwesterly by
Tuesday morning as a weak warm front lifts west to east across
southern Wisconsin. Along this frontal feature, expect light
snow showers to develop. Very dry air in the low levels will
prevent the majority of snow from reaching the surface; but
still expecting at least general coverage of 15-30 percent
through the overnight hours into Tuesday morning. Any lingering
precipitation will move offshore into Lake Michigan by midday,
with highs reaching the low 40s in the afternoon hours. Gusty
southwest winds will develop behind the line of snow showers,
with gusts to 25 mph expected throughout the day. Winds become
less gusty and shift to westerly overnight Tuesday as low
pressure pushes southeastward into the eastern Great Lakes
region.

.LONG TERM...
Issued 354 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025

Wednesday through Monday:

Northwesterly winds dominate Wednesday as low pressure continues
to spin over the eastern Great Lakes region, with gusts around
25 mph expected once again. Thursday, winds shift to
southeasterly as high pressure over the Southeast U.S. and low
pressure developing in the Canadian Rockies strengthen the
pressure gradient across the Midwest. This will bring a return
to temperatures in the upper 50s to even low 60s Friday into the
weekend. Low pressure is expected to swing southeastward
through the Great Lakes Saturday night into Sunday, bringing the
next chances for precipitation (30-50 percent) and perhaps even
a few thunderstorms. As low pressure exits to the southwest,
expect cooler temperatures to return early next week. A few
showers may linger across southern Wisconsin into Monday as
final shortwaves wrapping around the departing low traverse
through the western Great Lakes.

.AVIATION...
Issued 354 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025

VFR conditions are expected to continue through tonight, with a
few pockets of MVFR ceilings developing in central Wisconsin
(SBM/MSN). However, confidence in these lower ceilings remains
low at this time, with plenty of dry air in place that may
prevent lowering. Northwesterly winds will diminish tonight,
becoming southwesterly into early Tuesday morning along a weak
warm front. This front will also be capable of producing
isolated to scattered snow showers progressing west to east
during the early morning to midday hours. Behind the line of
snow showers, expect southwesterly winds to increase and gust
around 20 kt. Any MVFR ceilings lingering will lift to VFR
behind the front. Winds will remain elevated through the
evening hours Tuesday before shifting to become westerly and
diminishing during the late overnight hours.

.MARINE...
Issued 354 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025

A band of lake effect snow will continue across portions of the
eastern shore of Lake Michigan into this evening, with isolated
waterspouts remaining possible.

High pressure will continue to slide southeastward through
Texas toward the Southeast U.S. tonight, while low pressure continues
off the New England coast. Expect continued northwesterly winds
into tonight, before winds shift southwesterly overnight into
Tuesday. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect through 9 PM CST
tonight for continued gusty winds. Another low pressure system
will progress into northern Ontario on Tuesday, bringing a warm
front across the open waters and producing southwesterly gales
Tuesday afternoon and evening. A Gale Warning is in effect for
this time frame. In the nearshore regions, only isolated gales
are expected and a Small Craft Advisory is in effect from
Tuesday morning through Wednesday evening. Winds shift
northwesterly into Wednesday morning as this low progresses into
the eastern Great Lakes region. Winds may briefly approach
gales again Wednesday morning into Wednesday afternoon. Lighter
winds expected Thursday as weak high pressure moves through the
region.
