Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southern Wisconsin
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
352 AM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Temperatures in the lower 50s are forecast away from Lake Michigan
today. Plenty of sunshine will allow for mixing heights near 6000
ft and a corresponding drop in RH values nearing 25 percent in
southwestern Wisconsin and 30-35 percent in the remainder of
southern Wisconsin away from the immediate Lake Michigan vicinity.
Expect westerly winds gusting up to 15 mph. Should temperatures
warm more than currently forecast, locally lower relative humidity
readings will be possible.

Early Monday morning, expecting a quick burst of snow to progress
north to south across southern Wisconsin, with little to no
accumulations expected in most areas. In Fond du Lac and Sheboygan
Counties, up to an inch of accumulations on grassy surfaces is
possible. Strong northerly winds are expected, with gusts of 25 to
30 mph.
