It's fall...Cold forecast below...

Forecast problems below normal temps through Saturday....Some moderation for Sunday...Temps then FSCTD to hold in the upper 70s to around 80 through next week....Rain chances for today,tonight....Then another shot at thunderstorms for Tuesday into early Wednesday.....Still thinking we could break or tie record cold high temps today..Welcome to fall.....

CURRENT CONDITIONS....

Temps are in the lower to middle 50s this morning,Wind this morning still on the breezy side 10 to 15 MPH with gust close to 20 MPH on some of the SFC OBS...Skies are CLDY through out the FA...Light rain also showing up in some of the reports...

SFC ANALYSIS......

This morning weather charts still shows a rather large upper level low pressure North of Lake Huron...FNTL BNDRY reaches from the low through Eastern MI through IN down to AR then through Central OK....Large area of 1025 MB high pressure through Canada into the Northern Plains...

TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT.....

Upper level low East of our FA will keep trekking slowly Eastwards...However a reinforcing shot of cold air dropping South today..This should give us a better chance at some light showers..Also this will ensure that we will need to keep the sweatshirts,and light jackets handy...Highs today will feel more like October then July..Yes it's fall...Temps today are you ready to see this....Here we go....Middle to upper 50s......From the NWS...Record cold highs for today...Eau Claire is 68° that was set back in 1939....So record cold highs are in damager of being broken today....So summer is still on vacation still.....Yes for the most part we are being rob of a summer this year...Did do some research...What is interesting.. As a rule with colder weather patterns we would have more rainfall...As rule when we in drought conditions temps are warmer than normal...This summer we have had a very persist low over Hudson Bay drawing down cold and dry air....So far this summer is running well below normal in the temps and precip depts....Will be interesting to see how cold this summer will end up at....Tonight will keep a small chance of light rain going....Temps will fall into the middle 40s to upper 40s...Still thinking if we do get any amount of breaks in the CLDS for a few hrs Temps could fall into the 30s some areas...Highly unlikely...Though it will not surprise me if it does happen....

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY....

Saturday still be a rather cool day with highs FCSTD to be in the middle to upper 60s,however it will feel warn with more sunshine....Lows Saturday night tumble back into the Middle to upper 40s...Sunday and Monday temps creep back into the middle to upper 70s with lows in the middle 50s on Sunday...Close to 60 Monday night....

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY....

This start this time frame we have another shot of showers and thunderstorms..Highs in the upper 70s lows in the upper 50s...May see a shot at 80 by Thur under PTLY CLDY skies....
