.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1147 PM CDT Sat Oct 24 2026

Rain Chances...Shower activity has been pretty unimpressive along
the front so far this evening across MN and western WI, but still
expecting rain shower activity to develop/spread into portions of
central and northern WI overnight into Sunday morning. Then as
the front sinks south, a weak area of FGEN could keep some showers
going for parts of the afternoon/evening, with some CAMs
continuing to suggest isolated to scattered light shower activity.
Still some uncertainty to how persistent this this activity will
be and if it will last into Sunday evening. Any rain would be on
the lighter side, with under a quarter inch where it does rain
expected. Will continue with rain chances of 15-40% to cover the
shower activity. As the front lift back north late Monday into
Tuesday, another chance (30-55%) for showers will move into mainly
central and north-central WI. Additional chances for rain return
late Tuesday night and Wednesday, and then again late Thursday
night into next weekend as two systems trek across the region.
Current thinking remains that the heavier and more persistent
rainfall will remain northwest of the area through Wednesday,
closer to the low pressure system and stronger shortwaves.

Temperatures...another mild day is in store across east-central WI
on Sunday, with highs remaining around 70 degrees. However, behind
the frontal boundary, temps will be ~15 cooler than Saturday, with
highs in the mid to upper 50s. As the boundary shifts to our
south, a cool day is expected on Monday with highs in the upper
40s and 50s. The cool down will be very short-lived, as highs will
rebound 5-10 degrees on Tuesday then back into the mid 60s to low
70s on Wednesday. Above normal temps remain likely Thursday into
next weekend, with highs mainly in the 60s to near 70.

.AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 704 PM CDT Sat Oct 24 2026

VFR conditions will continue early this evening, then a band of
MVFR clouds are expected to sag southeast across the area
overnight into Sunday afternoon/evening as a frontal boundary
moves into the region. Some patchy IFR ceilings are also
possible, mainly across northern WI early Sunday morning. The
lower ceilings will be accompanied by some light rain showers and
sprinkles at times later tonight into Sunday, but little to no
additional impacts to aviation are expected. Otherwise, VFR
conditions are expected with mid and high clouds continuing to
spread across the region.

South winds will remain under 10 kts tonight, shifting to the
west and northwest across central and north central WI overnight
behind the frontal boundary. Winds will shift to the north on
Sunday as the boundary sags south, remaining under 10 kts. Winds
at 2000 ft will remain around 30-35 kts, creating LLWS for much
of the late evening and overnight hours, ending from west to east
by sunrise on Sunday.
