Discussion:
A strong low pressure system northeast of Lake
Superior is driving strong west to northwest winds across the region Friday
along with unseasonably cold air and clouds.
Scattered light showers will also be found through Friday evening with a
bit heavier amounts in extreme northern Wisconsin where lake effect will
contribute to the moisture. Temperatures
could drop to the upper 30s or so Friday night, but there will likely still be
clouds and enough wind at least in the first half of the night from preventing
it from get down toward freezing. The
coldest readings Friday night could be in western and southwest Wisconsin where
the skies will clear the soonest.
Saturday night should be the coldest with clear skies and light
winds. A frost appears likely. Then temperatures will gradually moderate
into early next week. After sunshine
Saturday and Sunday, the next chance of showers arrives Monday.
