The forecast for Western & Northwestern WI.

The chance of showers and thunderstorms for today, how far south into the FA to place them….. Temps will be a roller coaster ride throughout the short/middle/and long term periods. Did warm temps up in the longer periods, though not confident in this….


***CURRNET CONDITIONS***

At 9 AM skies range from cloudy to partly cloudy throughout the FA…Temps in the middle 60s to the lower 70s. DP temps in the lower 60s…Winds South/Southwest 6 to 8 MPH with a few higher gusts…

***SHORT/MIDDLE TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION***

Radar is showing an area of showers and thunderstorms over my far Northeastern areas this morning extending down into Rusk County….This area has been driven mainly by an area of forcing way ahead of the cold front, which is now in Northwestern MN…Cold front should enter the FA around 18z and then clear the area around 22z per DLH WRF model…Not a lot of moisture for this front to work with, instabilities are not that great either….Overall dynamics just aren’t there…Nevertheless there is a little forcing and there shall be some lift along the cold front and boundaries left over from this morning convection…With that said will run with a small chance of showers and thunderstorms through the afternoon mainly in my Northern to Central areas… Shower and storm chances in my Southern areas not looking good at all with the thunderstorms in IA ….

Have up temps for today a little will run with 78 to 83…..Tonight high pressure takes over this will allow for a chilly night across the FA with some middle 40s North to 50s Central and South…. Saturday will be a great day under sunny skies with highs in the lower to middle 70s…Sunday another trough/cold front is forecasted to push into the area once again there will be a chance of showers and a few thunderstorms right through Sunday night….Thought about dropping rain chances from the forecast as the same setup seems to be in place though this system is somewhat weaker….Next chance of showers and storms looks to be in the Wednesday through Thursday time frame…. Temps will be cooler for much of the upcoming work week….Highs in the lower to middle 70s through mid week… Lows in the 50s…..Slightly warmer temps forecasted by week’s end.

*** LONG TERM FORECAST DICSUSSION SEP 2 THROUGH SEP 11***

About the only thing I did here was to up temps, not really confident in doing that but the last two model runs did show warmer temps than we had in our other forecast…. Thinking is we may end up dropping them back off once again…..

There will still be a chance of showers and thunderstorms throughout the this period, really hard to time things this far out in time…

Confidence level in precip moderate, confidence level in temps low.
