Low temps tnt will range from the teens over ern WI where less cloud cover is expected with 20s south and west of Madison.

SHORT TERM
Issued 1251 PM CST Wed Feb 11 2026

Tonight through Thursday night:

High pressure will influence the pattern across southern WI through the end of the week. Breezy winds this afternoon will gradually come down into this evening as high pressure slowly shifts eastward overnight. Will remain overhead through much of the day Thursday before shifting into the eastern Great Lakes overnight.

Given the lighter winds and clear conditions, do expect temps to fall overnight into the upper teens to low 20s. However, as southerly winds become more prevalent for Thursday, expect to see temps gradually warm with warmest temp across southwestern WI in the lower 40s and mid to upper 30s for areas further east.
Then one last chilly night overnight Thursday.

LONG TERM
Issued 1251 PM CST Wed Feb 11 2026

Friday through Wednesday:

The main story of the extended will be the unseasonable warm temps beginning Friday and continuing through early next week.
Potential to see high temps in the 50s steadily increase each day through this weekend. The 12z NBM has 20-50% chance for southwest half of the CWA Friday, 30-70% for much of southern WI Saturday, and 40-80% again for Sunday. Meanwhile thew EPS and GEFS are not as aggressive with highs cracking 50F, but still have low-medium chances following the trend of the NBM. But nevertheless there is high confidence to see temps well above normal and daytime highs in the 40s through the weekend. Will see above normal overnight lows as well with temps around or even above freezing through the weekend. The above normal temp pattern is progged to continue through early next week as WPC Cluster analysis agrees on 500mb ridging building across the Midwest through at least the start of next week. Overall southern WI is looking to remain dry through the weekend into the start of early next week as southern WI remains generally within the upper-level ridge or zonal flow north of any trough.

Then there are hints in the long range deterministic models as well as the clusters and ensembles to see the pattern break down and become more active across the central CONUS Tuesday into middle of next week. Some of the 12z models continue to have a trough digging across the Plains and lifting into the Midwest for this timeframe. However, there continues to be a wide spread in system track and strength of this activity, thus cannot say with any certainty this far out, but it does bear watching on how models handle it through the weekend.

MARINE
Issued 1251 PM CST Wed Feb 11 2026

High pressure will continue to move from the Upper Midwest/Plains this evening and over the Great Lakes into Thursday. Will see the breezy northwesterly winds this afternoon gradually weaken tonight and remain light through the day Thursday. Then high pressure will shift east by Friday and southwesterly flow returns to Lake Michigan for Friday. Will see a weak cold front pass over the Lake into Saturday turning winds more westerly as Lake Michigan sits between two low pressures with one tracking across far northern Manitoba and Ontario and another tracking across the lower Mississippi River Valley. Southerly winds then return for Sunday and linger into the start of next week.
