227 FNUS73 KARX 151701 FWSARX Spot Forecast for Preston North Subunit A...The Nature Conservancy National Weather Service La Crosse WI 1201 PM CDT Mon Sep 15 2025 Forecast is based on ignition time of 1000 CDT on September 15. If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. Please contact our office at (608) 784-8292 if you have questions or concerns with this forecast. .DISCUSSION...UPDATE - a mix of microscale weather elements have resulted in lines/scattered showers-storms across western WI, oriented north-south. Expect this to continue into mid afternoon. However, east of there latest satellite imagery shows a decrease in clouds - indicating sinking area and/or some drying of the airmass. Unless the convection can push an outflow boundary farther east, the threat for showers/storms near your burn location continues to be low to none. We will continue to keep a close eye on trends through the afternoon. If you have anymore questions, please give us a call. .REST OF TODAY... Sky/weather.........Sunny (10-20 percent).
