.DISCUSSION... Issued at 350 AM CDT Sat Sep 13 2025
Showers associated with a strong short-wave trough were moving out of the region early this morning, but a NW-SE oriented band of thunderstorms on the nose of 25-30 kt LLJ was ongoing just southwest of the forecast area. These storms could brush the far SW/S part of the forecast area early today, but most of the rain should be gone by 14z-15z. Although some surface-based instability will develop across the southwest half of the forecast area this afternoon, significant CINH and a building upper ridge should prevent convection from forming. High temperatures should warm into the middle 70s to lower 80s. Good radiational cooling conditions should set up tonight, with partly cloudy skies and light east winds, so areas of fog look like a good bet. Patchy dense fog could result in locally hazardous driving conditions into early Sunday morning.
Dry weather returns for the rest of the weekend and early next week as strong upper level ridging occurs, and high pressure over Ontario ridges into NE WI. A chance of showers and storms arrives during the mid to late part of the next work week, as the upper ridge shifts east and an upper trough and cold front edge east across the region.
Temperatures will remain above normal through much of the next week, with highs reaching the upper 70s to middle 80s on most days. A cool down is expected Friday into Saturday in the wake of the cold frontal passage.

VFR conditions should prevail for the rest of the day and much of the evening, but areas of fog and stratus should redevelop in the late evening and overnight hours, resulting in IFR/LIFR conditions in many areas.
SE winds of 5 to 10 kts are expected today, becoming light from the E-NE tonight.
