	Wisconsin Weather Update for November 19, 2009.

Posted by: HaleStorm, 2:01 PM GMT on November 19, 2009

Good Thursday morning!

Weather Recap
After a rather nice start to the week, things got a little worse yesterday as clouds and scattered rain showers entered the state. High temperatures have been between 46-51 Monday-Wednesday. Did you know that yesterday's rain was the first measurable precipitation all month in east-central and southern Wisconsin?

Forecast Synopsis
Cold rain showers look to continue today thanks to a cut-off upper-air low pressure circulation. These cut-off lows in the jet stream tend to be rather slow to leave, so expect scattered rain showers through much of the day today. It will eventually move off to our east by tonight, then we should remain dry through most of Sunday.
On Monday I teased a possible rain/snow storm for the first half of next week, and it still looks to be rather messy. A couple of weather systems are expected to move through the upper-Midwest from Canada, bringing colder temperatures and wet weather with it. Temperatures will probably be warm enough for the wet to fall as rain on Monday, but 850-millibar expected temperatures Monday night through Wednesday look to be cold enough where much of the precip could fall as light snow. The National Weather Service: Green Bay is not eating the Kool-Aid snow cone quite yet as their latest forecast for next week is still calling for nothing but rain. The NWS: Milwaukee/Sullivan office has got their Kool-Aid at the ready as they are now mentioning a rain/snow mix for next Tuesday. Could be an interesting weather blog this Monday!

Southern Wisconsin:
Cloudy and foggy conditions will continue through the early morning. The fog will reduce the visibility to mostly 1 to 3 miles...however patches of dense fog will drop visibilities to one quarter mile or less. Patchy drizzle is also expected early this morning. Temperatures will remain in the upper 30s to middle 40s. Early morning motorists should use extra caution this morning due to the patchy nature of the dense fog.

Good Monday morning!Weather RecapHopefully I don't have to tell you how nice this weekend's weather was, as you should have been outdoors enjoying our Indian Summer weekend. The weekend high temperatures Saturday and Sunday were 68 and 67 (respectively) in Green Bay and 71 each day in Madison. The Saturday Green Bay high of 68 tied a record high temperature for that date, but otherwise we just missed setting new record highs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_sum...
