Wisconsin Weather Update

Scattered rain showers today, colder this weekend.
Warmer and dry next week.

There it is, in a nutshell. Moisture from an area of low
pressure currently centered well to our north, in southern Hudson Bay, Canada,
is going to keep clouds and scattered light rain showers in the forecast for
today, tonight, and maybe lingering into tomorrow morning. While I wouldn’t be
surprised to hear a rumble of thunder, we probably won’t get the cool light
show we had with the storms a couple nights ago. Look for breezy conditions to
kick in tonight and tomorrow as colder air from the northwest keeps our high
temperatures in the 50s this weekend, although we should bounce back into the
60s by Monday.
