.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 215 AM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026

One more tranquil day is in store with partly sunny skies with
highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. For tonight, clouds will be
on the increase with a chance of showers and isolated
thunderstorms across the north. Instability is meager, thus severe
weather is not expected. Showers and isolated thunderstorms will
move across the area Tuesday morning, continuing into the
afternoon. The latest model guidance is considerably lower on the
instability late Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night, generally
with CAPE values of 400 to 800 J/KG. 0-6km shear values of 30-40
knots. Bufkit soundings indicated low level winds of 30-40 knots
Tuesday night to support strong gusty winds with any storm.
Wetbulb zero heights fairly high, which is a concern for the
potential for large hail. Main concern will be the ongoing showers
and isolated storms Tuesday afternoon and how that will affect
convection into the evening. The latest Day 2 Outlook has a
Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for much of the area north and west
of the Fox Valley. Showers and storms will come to an end late
Tuesday night.

Dry conditions expected Wednesday into Friday. The next chance
of showers and storms at times will be from Friday night
through the weekend. Confidence is low on timing and placement
of convection due to the various model solutions. High
temperatures at or above normal through the weekend.

.AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1030 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026

Middle to high clouds will continue to pass over the region at
times through tomorrow, resulting in VFR flying conditions
prevailing through the TAF period. Only exception will be with any
reductions in vsbys due to patchy fog development after midnight
tonight, though confidence was not high enough to include in the
TAF. Vsbys should still remain MVFR even if fog were to directly
impact a terminal. Next chances for rain then arrive from the west
toward the tail end of the TAF period (just beyond 06Z Tuesday)
for most locations, with the potential exception of RHI.

After becoming light and variable overnight, winds shift to the
south late Monday morning, increasing to around 5 to 10 knots
during the afternoon.

.MARINE...
Issued at 215 AM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026

Gusty southerly winds and building waves has prompted the issuance
of a Small Craft Advisory. For the bay, it is in effect from 1 PM
Tuesday to 3 AM Wednesday. For Lake Michigan, it is in effect
from 10 AM Tuesday to 7 AM Wednesday. After a break in the gusty
winds and high waves Wednesday morning, another period of
hazardous conditions for small craft are possible Wednesday
afternoon with gusts of 25-30 knots which may prompt another
Small Craft Advisory during this time frame.

At Lake Michigan beaches, there is an increased risk of rip
currents. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect from 10 AM
Tuesday to 7 AM Wednesday.
