 A re-enforcing shot of chilly air is moving southward across Wisconsin early this evening. Skies will be clear early, and it would be excellent for trying to get a glimpse of the northern lights that may grace the area overnight because of the recent strong solar flare, except for the fact we will have a full moon overnight. The cold front will push across the area around midnight or so, and there will be some clouds associated with the front, but no precipitation is expected. It will become mostly clear, and colder later tonight, with a low near 23 degrees by daybreak.. It will be sunny to mostly sunny on Friday under the influence of a weak Canadian high. The strong March sun will work on the cool air associated with the high, and moderate it in the afternoon to close to 40 degrees, which is just a few degrees below average of this time of year.  The high will shift to the east of the area by 6 pm Friday allowing winds to shift back to the south.  It will be mostly clear on Friday night with a low in the middle 20's.  It will be breezy, mostly sunny and warmer on Saturday with an afternoon high in the middle 50's.  On Sunday a good flow of moist air will push across the midwest all the way from the Gulf of Mexico.  Low pressure in east Texas early Sunday morning will move rapidly north/northeast during the day.  It will be mostly cloudy with a good chance of showers that will continue into Sunday night. There may be a few lingering showers into Monday morning.   It will become partly cloudy with afternoon high temperatures close to 60 degrees.  With the primary jet stream becoming more southwesterly, and shifting well northward into Canada, the Stateline will see unseasonably warm temperatures through midweek..  Highs will reach the upper 60's , and possibly even 70 during this next warm spell.
