Your forecast

Forecast concerns will be the below normal temps through the rest of the week...It will be feeling like fall....Temps do moderate some this weekend.Still some chances of showers for tomorrow and Friday...Nothing to write home about...Winds are going to be the main story for today through tomorrow...

CURRENT CONDITIONS....

Temps through out my whole FA still holding onto the middle 60s dewpoints still in the upper 50s some lower 60s still being reported Winds are out of the West from 10 to 20 MPH...Most station reporting MSTLY CLDY skies at this 9 Am hr..Satellite confirms this...A few breaks here and there...So don't be shocked to see some sun this morning....

SFC ANALYSIS....

Weather charts show the CLD FNT that blasted through area last night now over Central WI...Meantime we find a very strong 997 MB low pressure just North of the MN border...Large ridge of 1021 MB high pressure over the Northern Plain reaching into Canada....

TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY.....

For the most part this FCST period is cut and dry....Winds are going to be a problem today...Pressure gradients really increasing later this morning into the afternoon...Should see wind gusts close to 30 MPH,with higher gust in my wind prone areas...CAA has not yet made it into the FA,never fear it will later this morning into the afternoon hrs...Dewpoint temps shall be falling rather fast...You will know when the CAA kicks in full ernest.....Still going to run with MSTLY CLDY to PTLY CLDY skies for today...Highs today should reach the lower 70s maybe some middle 70s in my Southern FA....Lows tonight lower 50s most areas.....Want more cold air ? Ready or not here it comes....Another CLD FNT is FCSTD to drop South out of Canada...This should help keep MSTLY CLDY skies going...May also kick of some light rain showers....One thing that is a giving this CLD FNT will bring down more cold air for the FA....Highs on Thur shall be middle to upper 60s...Lows fall into the upper 40s....Friday still will keep a chance of light showers around,though I may end up pulling them in later updates.....Time to dig out the sweatshirts and or light jackets...Highs on Fri a very cold..Lower to middle 60s...May not get out of the 50s up North....Lows Fri night middle to upper 40s...I sure would not be shocked to see some upper 30s in my Northern area,possibly into my Central areas..If clouds clear out.....So did I miss summer and we are now in fall ?.....Am going to have to check out some cold max highs..I think we may be close at tying or setting them...Can't say for sure yet until I check that out.....

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY....

Temps do warm back up to near norms,as we get on the return flow....High push back for the middle 70s to close to 80 by Monday.Lows will also be on the upward trend...Lower to middle 50s...Upper 50s to lower 60s by Mon night...No rain is FCSTD through this time frame......Next chance of showers and thunderstorms come in play Monday night Tuesday time period...
