.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 307 AM EDT Sat Aug 1 2026
Early morning GOES WV imagery shows the mid level trough now over
the Upper Mississippi River Valley with RAP analysis plotting the
associated 1004 mb low now over northern IL. A cold front is
pressing south over the CWA early this morning while the abundant
moisture from yesterday begins to exit. With instability falling and
deep moisture dissipating, shower activity is tapering down and
thunder has ceased. That said, isolated to scattered showers closer
to the low over the east half of the UP and northerly upslope
drizzle are both possible today as a secondary cold front progresses
south overhead. Low level moisture will remain high, possibly
resulting in patchy fog, mainly over the east half this morning.
Cooler temps today in the 60s and 70s, coldest near eastern Lake
Superior. As the UP dries out for tonight under weak high pressure
ridging, colder temps are expected in the mid 40s to upper 50s,
coldest interior west.
Notably drier air can be expected for Sunday into Monday with
dewpoints in the 50s, resulting in more comfortable conditions.
Temperatures will be in the mid 60s to 70s on Sunday and upper 70s
to low 80s on Monday (close to seasonal averages).
On Tuesday humidity will begin increasing ahead of an approaching
cold front. Showers and thunderstorms may accompany the front on
Tuesday but the risk for organized convection remains uncertain at
this point in time, with global models showing lower instability and
shear. It will fall back into the 70s for Wednesday behind the front
with a rebound again on Thursday along with a slight chance for
thunderstorms.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 747 AM EDT Sat Aug 1 2026
The 12Z TAF period will have BR/FG as well as low cig impacts to
some degree at all sites, but winds and precip will not be a major
concern. MIFG at IWD should quickly clear out, leaving VFR through
most of the period until additional radiational BR/FG develops early
Sunday morning. CMX is currently socked in at minimums from marine
FG aided by northerly upslope flow. Model guidance is not handling
this well, but generally points to improvement to VFR by or shortly
after 15Z; amendments may be needed as BKN mid level clouds clear
out giving a better view at the marine low cigs/FG. SAW begins in
VFR, but sees BKN MVFR cigs return by late morning as the marine
cloud deck moves inland. Periods of IFR/LIFR are expected this
afternoon and early evening. Similar to CMX, confidence in timing is
low, so opted to use a TEMPO group for now. SAW improves to VFR by
tonight as FG clears and low cigs SCT out, but additional BR/FG
development tonight can't be ruled out. Otherwise north to northeast
winds increase to around 10 kts at all sites by this afternoon.

.MARINE...
Issued at 747 AM EDT Sat Aug 1 2026
The lake remains under a weak pressure gradient through the
forecast, resulting in mainly light winds at or below 20 kts. Areas
of dense fog will impact central and eastern Lake Superior this
morning, pressing south and clearing from the west half and the
far eastern corner by this afternoon. Fog may linger into the
late afternoon over the south-central waters. Hoisted Dense Fog
Advisories to reflect impacts today. Showers and thunderstorm
are expected again on Tuesday but there remains uncertainty as
to the the coverage and strength of the storms.
