.DISCUSSION...
Somewhat cooler conditions are expected on Wednesday behind a
cold front along with breezy northwest winds. Min RH values should
be in the mid 30s to low 40s most places, but wouldn`t be
surprised to see some locations down toward 30 percent north and
west of Madison tomorrow. RH values are expected to be even lower
under high pressure Thursday, with lighter winds and plenty of
sunshine likely. Periods of increased moisture, warmer temps, and
shower/storm chances are then expected late week into early next
week.
