The Day 3 Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal Risk of severe storms across our western counties. - Hazardous conditions for small craft expected Tuesday and Wednesday due to gusty winds and high waves. - There is an increased risk of rip currents Tuesday into Wednesday morning at Lake Michigan beaches. - Above normal temperatures continue into next weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 155 AM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026 A few minor concerns early this morning. The first, satellite imagery was showing patches of low clouds/marine fog just east of Two Rivers, and well east of Manitowoc towards mid lake. The area was drifting westward earlier but has shown little movement of late. The second concern is KDLH radar was showing some radar echoes into Vilas County. Couldn`t rule out a few sprinkles over the next few hours across north-central WI. For today and Labor Day, skies will be partly cloudy with highs around 80 as the stretch of above normal temperatures continue. The normal high for this time of year is in the lower to middle 70s, just a fact that the cooler days of fall are around the corner. Attention then turns to approaching cold front Monday night. It appear the chances of rain won`t arrive until ate late across north-central WI. The Tuesday into Wednesday time frame is the period of main concern. For marine interest, hazardous conditions for small craft develop on Tuesday due to the gusty southerly winds and building waves which will continue into Tuesday night. Winds will veer to the west on Wednesday, but will still be gusty to create hazardous conditions for small craft. If you are heading to Lake Michigan beaches, there will be an increased risk of rip currents Tuesday into Wednesday morning. As the cold front moves across the region Tuesday and Tuesday night, thunderstorms are expected to develop along and ahead of it. Looking at some of the convective parameters, enough shear and instability available for stronger storms. The Storm Prediction Center Day 3 Outlook has a portion of our area, our western counties, in a Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms. Thursday and Friday are expected to be dry with the next chance of showers/storms on Friday night and Saturday. Above normal temperatures to continue into next weekend. && .AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance Issued at 503 AM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Patchy fog will burn off by 15z, otherwise VFR conditions will prevail through Monday. Could be some spots late tonight that drop below VFR due to some patchy fog. The next chance of showers & storms will be late Monday night into Tuesday night. Stronger storms are possible Tuesday and Tuesday night. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....Eckberg AVIATION.......Eckberg
