The forecast for Western/Northwestern WI

Forecast problems for today is how fast to clear the cold front through the area and how soon to clear the showers and thunderstorms this evening....


***CURRENT CONDITIONS***

Temps this morning are in the middle 70s for the must part...Dewpoints are very sticky this morning lower 70s... Skies are cloudy... Radar is showing a line of showers with a few thunderstorms throughout the FA....

***FORECAST DISCUSSION***

This morning showers and thunderstorms should clear the area by afternoon.. Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to reform later this afternoon.. No severe thunderstorms are forecast ATTM... Though heavy rainfall is a possibility could see 1/2 inch to around an inch in many spots... It won't be hot today like it was yesterday with the cloud cover in place... Temps still should reach into the 80s.. If we can get some breaks in the cloud cover temps could reach for the middle to upper 80s, highly unlikely that shall happen... Wind shall be lighter today from the South then switching to the Southwest.... This evening showers and thunderstorms should clear out of my Western parts of the FA, while my Central and Eastern areas may still be dealing with showers and storms... There is still hope that showers and storms could clear the whole FA by 10 PM... If indeed that happens we shall all enjoy the fireworks displays forthcoming this evening... Looks like the front will hang up just our South still close enough to keep a chance of showers and thunderstorm going for Monday and Monday night... Models showing another cold front working into the area for Tuesday night/Wednesday's time frame...So have elected to keep showers and thunderstorms going through this entire forecast cycle... Longer term looks like we could be setting our self's up for a very nice period from Thursday into the upcoming weekend... Temps throughout the upcoming work week into the first part of next weekend should run either side of 80.....

***TODAY***

Showers and thunderstorms likely this morning, then again later this afternoon.. Heavy rain is possible... Highs today lower to middle 80s and it will remain muggy... Winds South/Southwest from 10 to 15 MPH...

***FIREWORKS DISPLAY (10 PM)***

For now I have decided to end the showers and thunderstorms in my Western areas... I'm still going to run with a small chance in my Central and Eastern areas...This could change, will updated if needed... Temps at the 10 PM should range from the middle 60s up North to lower to middle 70s Central and Southern areas... Winds Southwest/West around 5 to 10 MPH....

***MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY***

Showers and thunderstorms will be possible at any given time.. Highs either side of 80... Lows in the Middle 60s cooling to the upper 50s by Wednesday night....

***NOTE***

The forecast for the fireworks display 10 PM...May be changing throughout the day.... Stay tune for updates....
