.DISCUSSION...
Showers and thunderstorms will continue through this morning as
a cold front passes south through the area. Southwest winds
remain ahead of the front with north to northeast winds behind
it. The north winds will then become northeasterly and breezy
this afternoon. Largely dry and cool conditions are expected
this evening through Monday across southern Wisconsin. The soul
exception will be Friday late morning through the afternoon as
there is a 10-20% chance for an isolated shower north and west of
Madison. Winds will diminish tonight and become light and
variable. Light predominately easterly winds will remain Friday
before becoming light and variable again Saturday.
Minimum RH values are expected to be in the upper 50s to 70s. RH
values will remain elevated through Saturday in the low 50s to
mid 60s. Mixing heights and transport winds will remain good
through this afternoon/evening as breezy northeast winds settle
in across the state. Both of these values will decrease a bit, but
still remain decent Friday into Saturday as high pressure builds
in from the north. Winds
