930 PM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Flood Warnings remain in effect along portions of several
metro Milwaukee rivers and adjacent tributaries. Stay away
from flood waters and continue to heed any remaining road
closures in these areas.
- Scattered showers and storms possible (~30-60% chances)
overnight into early Tuesday morning. Conditions will be
favorable for heavy downpours in storms, though activity will
be moving fast enough to prevent any additional significant
flooding concerns.
- Chances (~30-50%) for additional scattered storms Tuesday afternoon,
particularly over the northwest half of the area. A few
storms could produce small hail and gusty winds.
- Slightly more comfortable conditions behind a cold front on
Wednesday, with humidity quickly returning by the end of the
week.

.UPDATE...
Issued 930 PM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025
We are watching two areas of thunderstorms this evening, one
that is moving into south central Iowa and the other over
northeast Illinois. The IL storms are set up along a low level
boundary/convergence zone, within an area of 2 inch precipitable
water (pwat). Not expecting these to directly impact southern
WI tonight. The weak vorticity advection that is assisting the
southern Iowa storms will make its way through eastern IA
tonight and move into south central WI early Tuesday morning,
between 3 and 5 AM. By this time, the axis of 2 inch pwat is
expected to lift in to southern WI, right around the time that
the srn IA vort advection arrives. These ingredients will allow
for scattered showers and thunderstorms across most of southern
Wisconsin until around mid Tuesday morning.
The pwat of 2 inches will give us heavy downpours, but the
storm movement should be progressive, as Corfidi and forward
propagation vectors will be out of the southwest around 20 mph.
However, given the recent heavy rain and flooding, we will be
watching closely for any storms that track over the same areas.
There should be a back edge to the more numerous area of
showers and thunderstorms from southwest to northeast by mid-
late Tuesday morning. Additional light showers are possible
through the afternoon given the warm/moist and marginally
unstable environment. The frontal boundary is still on track to
arrive from the northwest around 6 PM and march southeast. If we
manage to get any sunshine in the afternoon, then a few stronger
storms will be possible along the front and we could see some
gusty winds out of them.

.SHORT TERM...
Issued 330 PM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025
Tonight through Tuesday night:
Synopsis/Mesoanalysis: A pair of MCV`s are apparent over the Central
Plains this afternoon, with a scattering of convection beginning to
blossom from south-central Nebraska into northwest Missouri. Storms
will gradually migrate northeast tonight as their affiliated forcing
translates into the Upper Mississippi Valley, ultimately approaching
southern Wisconsin late this evening through the early morning hours
Tuesday. Heavy downpours will accompany activity, though progressive
storm motions should keep additional significant flooding impacts
low across the region. Currently situated across the Dakotas, a
surface cold front will progress into Minnesota tonight, ultimately
crossing southern Wisconsin Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Additional scattered storm development will be possible along the
boundary, particularly over the northwest half of the area where the
front will arrive first. A few storms could produce small hail and
gusty winds, though widespread severe weather potential is low in
any Tuesday afternoon/evening storms. Areas of fog are possible late
tonight, particularly along and west of Interstate 39.
Tonight through Tuesday Morning: Scattered storm development
beginning over the Central Plains will approach and ultimately move
into parts of southern Wisconsin. Well-sampled by the 12Z sounding
from ILX, an air mass characterized by 1.7"+ precipitable water
values will be advancing into the area with storms, supporting the
potential for heavy downpours & efficient hourly rainfall rates. The
favorable conditions will be partially offset by an environment
unfavorable for training storms, in addition to progressive storm
motions. Thus anticipate a similar additional rainfall forecast to
last night`s storms, with 0.5" or less in most locations and
localized 1-2" totals in areas directly impacted by storms. Said
totals would translate to at most minor (urban/small stream flooding
& ponding of water in low-lying areas) hydro impacts across the
area. Will nevertheless closely monitor trends through the overnight
& early morning hours, particularly if any more enhanced hourly
rates track across areas receiving heavy rain this weekend.
Tuesday Afternoon: Additional scattered storm development is
forecast along an encroaching cold front. Storm potential will be
greatest over the northwest half of the area, where the front will
arrive first and there will be more sunshine. Lower precipitable
water values will be funneling into the region with the front,
making heavy downpour potential lower in Tuesday afternoon`s storms.
Widespread severe weather is not anticipated, though an isolated
stronger storm with gusty winds and small hail is possible.

.LONG TERM...
Issued 330 PM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025
Wednesday through Monday:
An upper level ridge will begin to build in from the west Wednesday
bringing some dry weather and slightly cooler conditions. This upper
level ridge will be associated with a sfc high that will extend from
Canada and build into WI. This sfc high will push east heading into
Thursday. A shortwave trough will move through the larger flow aloft
and bring some low chance POPS for Thursday night into Friday. Areas
across northern and central Wisconsin will have the best potential
for any rain, as thats where the best lift from this weak shortwave
is. But southwestern and west central Wisconsin will have some POPs
around 10-15%.
This shortwave will precede a larger trough and low centered over
Saskatchewan. This low is expected to move northeast into the Hudson
Bay from Thursday into Friday night. Winds will turn to southerly
and temperatures will increase across southern Wisconsin as both the
trough and shortwave move east to northeast.
High temperatures will return to the mid 80s to low 90s for the
weekend. As temperatures and dewpoints climb again we will see some
low chance POPS for the weekend around 10-30%. For much of the time,
conditions will be unstable, hot and humid, but there wont be much
of a forcing mechanism for rain. So we could get an isolated shower
or storm, but many will likely remain dry. Now the better chance for
any rain this weekend looks to be Sunday when the trailing cold
front, that is associated with the Low in the Hudson Bay, finally
advances through the state. There is a lot of timing uncertainty
here so POPS still remain low around 40%. But this would be the one
area of forcing that could cause some more widespread rainfall.
Conditions are expected to cool off a bit again behind this front.

.AVIATION...
Issued 930 PM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to spread into
south central WI early Tuesday morning, between 3 and 5 AM
(08-10Z), then exit over east central WI between 10 AM and
Noon (15-17Z). MVFR ceilings are likely with this area of
precip, with pockets of IFR and reduced visibility possible.
VFR conditions will return for the afternoon, although random
showers will still be possible. A broken line of showers and
thunderstorms along a front is expected to reach the Dells area
around 6PM/23Z and weaken as it slides through southern WI
during the evening.

.MARINE...
Issued 330 PM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025
High pressure is centered off the middle Atlantic coast this
afternoon, combining with 1002 mb low pressure over Manitoba to
support breezy southeast winds across the open waters of Lake
Michigan. Southeast winds will persist through the majority of the
day Tuesday, ultimately turning out of the northwest Tuesday night
into early Wednesday morning as a cold front moves across Lake
Michigan. Periods of showers and storms are forecast across
primarily the southern open waters this evening through Tuesday
morning, and once again Tuesday night along the passing cold front.
Widespread severe weather potential is low, though a few storms
could produce gusty winds across southern Lake Michigan this evening
through early Tuesday morning.
Patches of fog are possible in nearshore zones this evening. Dense
fog is not anticipated, though trends will be closely monitored in
the event that fog forms.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued 330 PM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025
Flood warnings remain in effect along portions of several metro
Milwaukee rivers & their adjacent tributaries in the wake of this
weekend`s flooding in southeastern Wisconsin. The Lower Fox River in
downtown Waukesha currently sits in moderate flood stage. Water has
reached the bottom of the Barstow Bridge in downtown Waukesha,
resulting in subsequent backup of water, river flooding, and several
road closures in the immediate vicinity of the river. The Milwaukee
River in Cedarburg currently sits in minor flood stage, with rises
into moderate flood stage possible overnight tonight. The Cedar
Creek in Cedarburg, Menomonee River in Menomonee Falls, Lower Fox
River in New Munster, and Root River in Franklin all remain in minor
flood stage. Ponding of water in areas immediately near each river
segment will be possible until each can fall below flood stage later
this week. Continue to heed any road closures in all impacted areas
until river stages recede further & Flood Warnings are allowed to
expire. Impacts of any overnight/early Tuesday rainfall at each
station will be closely monitored, with updates to existing Flood
Warnings being sent if necessary.
