.DISCUSSION...
More showers and thunderstorms today across southern Wisconsin.
A Low pressure system will move northeast through the state this
afternoon exiting over Lake Michigan late this evening. Stronger
to severe storms will be possible with damaging wind and small
hail being the biggest concerns. Breezy south wind are expected
out ahead of the cold front with northwest winds expected behind
the front.
Drier and cooler conditions will prevail Saturday, with min RH
values falling into the 30s most places away from Lake Michigan,
with somewhat higher RH near the lake. Winds are expected to weaken
throughout the day Saturday as high pressure moves overhead. A lake
breeze is likely to move inland Saturday afternoon through the
lake shore counties by the evening. Winds will then gradually shift
across the state to northeasterly during the late evening hours.
Rain will then return later Sunday into Sunday night along with
even cooler temperatures.
