SHORT TERM
Issued 345 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Tonight through Saturday night:

Heading into the weekend with a running start, temperatures are expected to fall to the low 30s as winds/wind gusts gradually subside. With this, conditions for a freeze early Saturday morning exist across south-central Wisconsin. Going into tomorrow, temperatures will slightly lag behind those of today, and remain around the mid to upper 40s for much of the area.
Winds will remain out of the west, before gradually shifting out of the northwest throughout the day. Going into Saturday night, the threat for frost/freeze conditions exists once more, with temperatures dipping to around freezing once more with calmer westerly winds.

LONG TERM
Issued 345 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Sunday through Friday:

The start of the extended forecast will be the start of a warming trend that will continue into the beginning of the work week.
Highs on Sunday and Tuesday will be in the upper 50s to low 60s with light winds out of the west/southwest. Abundant sunshine will be present with a 1030mb high pressure swinging through the region allowing for a pleasant couple of days. Later on Monday, a shortwave coming out of the Canadian Prairies will give way to our next chance of precipitation. Clouds will increase Monday evening in approach a developing 1010mb low pressure moving to the SE. Ascent will slowly increase through the overnight period but no precipitation is expected. It won't be until early morning when adequate moisture advection from the south will be able to overcome a dry-layer in the lower-levels. On and off showers will be present through the day across the entire region. Rain chances decrease Tuesday night from west to east following a weak cold front that moves past the area. Total rainfall totals will be in the 0.1-0.4" range by the time it's all said and done.
Temperatures on Wednesday will be stuck in the lower 50s away from the lake and in the upper 40s closer to the lake with winds out of the N/NE. To close out the week, winds will shift more southeasterly/southerly from a developing trough across the Central Plains. This will in turn allow for a rebound in temperatures to above normal values for late April.

Diurnal cu continues to thicken going into the afternoon, with cloud cover decreasing in thickness further south. Going into the evening, gusts and cloud cover will both decrease, but westerly winds of up to 10 knots will still be present across the area. A new cloud deck is expected to move over the area by the afternoon tomorrow, with winds shifting northwesterly throughout the day.

Issued 345 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

A high pressure of 30.3 over the central US and low pressure of 29.6 over western Ontario will keep winds blustery out of the west/northwest. Winds will calm overnight with the ridge's progression into the area by late Saturday, before ramping back up out of the southwest moving into the next week with an approaching low to the northwest. By mid-week, winds will shift out of the north on the back end of the retreating low pressure, and speed up in conjunction with a surface high over the northern Great Lakes.
