.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 344 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025

A fairly quiet week expected across the region with only some
morning flurries/light snow today, a little breezy today and
Wednesday, then a split flow regime leads to uncertainty regarding
the next chance for precip this weekend. Temps will return to
above normal by late in the week.

Today into Wednesday: WAA and FGEN will continue to produce a
north-south orientated band of flurries and light snow early this
morning. But surface observations and model soundings continue to
show dry air under 10,000 ft making it difficult for the snow to
reach the surface. There has been enough saturation for at least
a period of light snow within this band as it continues to shift
east through the morning hours, but it will continue to fight the
dry low level air. Accumulation should be a tenth or two, with
little to no impacts expected. The activity will exit to our east
by late morning. North-central WI will see some light rain/snow
showers late this afternoon through late evening as surface-850mb
winds turn to the northwest and a weak through swings across the
region. With Lake Superior water temps still running in the 5-9C
range and 850mb temps dropping to -4C to -6C, delta Ts will climb
into the low to mid teens. Inversion heights will also climb to
~7,000ft with a period of deeper moisture pushing over the
northern Great Lakes. These will combine to produce some lake
enhancement, especially this evening. However, snowfall totals
will be limited (to under a half inch) due to the inversion
heights not reaching the DGZ, some rain mixing in, and drier air
arriving overnight.

Clouds are expected to start the day, with some partial clearing
aided by downsloping winds over eastern WI late this afternoon.
Then more clouds return for a time this evening to the entire
area, with a more pronounced clearing trend overnight into
Wednesday as flow turns westerly. Temps will slowly moderate today
and Wednesday, with highs in the mid 30s to low 40s today and in
the upper 30s to upper 40s. Southwest to west winds gusting to
around 25 mph will drop wind chills into the teens and 20s this
morning. West to northwest winds gusting to 35 mph on Wednesday
will produce wind chills in the 20s and 30s.

Late This Weekend and Weekend: GEFS/ENS/GEPS in good agreement to
bringing mid and upper level ridging over the western Great Lakes
late in the week with dry conditions expected. Temps will continue
to moderate, with above normal readings expected Thursday-Saturday.
It will be a brief return to spring-like temps for many locations,
and a few spots look to make a run at 60 degrees (10-35% of 60+
south of Hwy 29). Uncertainty remains this weekend on how split
flow and an upper low to our southwest will track/play out.
Latest guidance showing the region seeing a shot at some precip
sometime this weekend with a northern stream system and frontal
boundary, but still some question how strong it will be and how
much wind and cold air it will bring.

late overnight at KAUW, KCWA, and KRHI. No significant impacts are
expected, with high cloud bases maintaining VFR flight
conditions. A brief period of LLWS is possible Tuesday morning at
KAUW, KCWA, and KRHI, with WS020/22035KT or WS020/23035KT. SFC
winds will become lighter overnight, generally 3-7 kts from the
W-NW, becoming more southerly by Tuesday morning at 6-10 kts with
gusts up to 18 kts at KGRB, KATW, and KMTW. A cold front will
sweep through the region Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening.
The front will be noted mainly by a shift in wind direction, with
dry conditions expected at the TAF sites and VFR conditions.
