.DISCUSSION...

Issued at 343 PM CDT Mon Oct 27 2025



Dry weather is expected through at least Thursday due to the 

proximity of a strong Canadian high pressure system. The associated 

dry air will act as a force field and cause rain from an approaching 

low pressure system to skirt around the forecast area to the south 

and east on Tuesday. However, the forecast area will see the 

expansion of high clouds from this system. The next chance for 

precipitation is progged to arrive sometime late this week into the 

weekend as the upper-level pattern evolves into a more progressive 

northwest flow. But, much uncertainty revolves around the finer 

details due to the feature occurring later in the period and from 

the uncertainty of it's evolution with Hurricane Melissa off the 

East Coast.



Near normal temperatures are anticipated through much of the week 

before the pattern change later this week when temperatures may fall 

below normal.

.AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance

Issued at 118 PM CDT Mon Oct 27 2025



Southeasterly flow and low-level moisture has allowed a SCT/BKN

afternoon cu field to develop following this morning's

fog/stratus. While this cu field will dissolve throughout the

afternoon and skies will remain clear into the evening, high

clouds from an approaching system will increase from the

southwest overnight. However, forecast soundings indicate a

shallow layer of low-level clouds will develop/move into portions

of the region after 08z Tue into Tuesday morning. Winds will turn

more easterly on Tuesday and increase with gusts of 15 to 20 kts.

.MARINE...

Issued at 343 PM CDT Mon Oct 27 2025



Persistent east/southeast winds will generate high waves and gusty 

winds on Lake Michigan beginning this evening through Tuesday night. 

Despite winds turning more northeasterly on Wednesday, waves will 

remain elevated on Lake Michigan, mainly south of Sturgeon Bay. 

Therefore, the current Small Craft Advisory on Lake Michigan has 

been expanded through Wednesday night for the nearshore waters south 

of Sturgeon Bay. Given winds have decreased slightly from the 

previous forecast, continued to hold off on issuing an advisory for 

the Bay.
