UPDATE

Issued 528 AM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026

Showers across southeast portions of the forecast area will wind down early this morning, with a period of clearing behind the showers. Upstream clouds will move in though by mid-morning due to continued cold advection. Between the clouds and cooler temps aloft, below normal afternoon high temps will likely only make it into the mid to upper 60s. In general, the forecast looks on track for the remainder of today.

SHORT TERM

Issued 1154 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026

Tonight through Monday:

Weak 850-700 mb frontogenesis will continue across far srn WI much of the night as the upstream shortwave trough over the Dakotas does not move across srn WI until after 12Z Sun. Any showers that do occur will likely be high based and relatively light. Nwly sfc winds and cold advection will increase Sun AM as the upper wave approaches from the west with cold advection continuing into the early afternoon. Broken stratocumulus is expected to develop by late morning and last into mid afternoon. Thus high temps only in the upper 60s are forecast.

Winds will return to wly for Sun nt-Mon as high pressure moves across the central USA and low pressure approaches from Canada. Weak warm advection will begin on Mon. High temps will rebound back into the middle 70s.

LONG TERM

Issued 1154 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026

Monday night through Saturday:

There is much better agreement among the GEFS and ECMWF Ensemble for the low pressure areas on Tue and Wed. A amplifying shortwave trough will approach within nwly flow aloft late Mon nt-Tue AM, while a west to east sfc trough moves from Canada into MN and nrn WI. Cyclogenesis will ensue into east central WI toward 00Z Wed with a cold front to move across srn WI in the afternoon. LIs of -3 to -6C are forecast via cold air aloft, with a good potential for hail with the thunderstorms.

A fast moving positive tilt shortwave trough will then move across the nrn Great Plains to srn WI Wed-Wed nt, with the sfc low to track from IA on Wed to along the WI and IL border Wed evening. A strong low to mid level baroclinic zone will set up over srn WI with warm, moist advection and frontogenesis producing widespread showers and storms. Elevated severe storms and heavy rainfall will be possible. Weak shortwave troughs will then continue to bring small chances for showers and storms the remainder of the week.

AVIATION

Issued 528 AM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026

Showers across southeast portions of the forecast area will wind down early this morning, with a period of clearing behind the showers. Upstream clouds will move in though by mid-morning due to continued cold advection. Ceilings could be MVFR for a time through late morning, before cloud bases likely return to VFR for the afternoon. Mostly clear skies are then expected tonight as high pressure slides by to the southwest. Breezy northwest winds today will become lighter from the west tonight into Monday.

MARINE

Issued 1154 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026

A cold front will slowly move southeast across far southern Lake Michigan into the overnight. Modest west to southwest winds will become northwest with the frontal passage. Modest northwest winds will continue through Sunday. Winds then shift southwesterly on Monday as high pressure passes to the south and low pressure of 29.7 inches progresses south from Canada. The low pressure area then crosses northern Lake Michigan Tuesday afternoon or evening with breezy southwesterly winds to the south of the low. On Wednesday, another low pressure area will progress eastward across Iowa and across southern Lake Michigan Wednesday night. Breezy southeast winds will develop over the lake Wednesday afternoon with shifting variable winds Wednesday night, becoming north to northwest on Thursday. Gales will be possible during this time. Widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected with both low pressure areas.
