.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 319 PM CDT Sat Sep 27 2025
A cold front was moving through the forecast area this afternoon,
accompanied by a narrow band of stratocumulus clouds. Ahead of the
front, temperatures had warmed into the lower to middle 80s, while
temperatures were only in the upper 60s and lower 70s in its wake.
Dew points also dropped off rapidly behind the front, with
locations in north central down into the 30s and lower 40s.
High pressure will build into the region in the wake of the
front, with clear skies, light winds and a very dry air mass
supportive of cool overnight temperatures tonight. Have kept
cooler Min temperatures in the forecast tonight, with lows in
the middle 30s in parts of north central WI, where patchy frost
is expected overnight into early Sunday. Patchy fog may also
develop in the Wisconsin River Valley areas of north central and
central WI, but given the dryness of the air mass, it should
develop later (09z-13z/Sun) with less visibility restriction than
recent nights. Dry and warm conditions, along with low relative
humidity, can be expected Sunday into Monday.
Another cold front drops south across the region Monday night,
with Canadian high pressure ridging across the region through the
rest of the week. This will result in briefly cooler, but still
above normal temperatures mid-week, and continued dry conditions
as the high persists through the end of the week. A couple
tropical systems off the East Coast of the U.S. will only serve
to block the eastward progression of the high, which may delay
precipitation chances until next Saturday night or Sunday.
Winds will pick up a bit out of the southeast Wednesday night
into Thursday, leading to possible marine concerns (Small Craft
Advisories) on Lake Michigan, especially south of Two Rivers.
