Off and On Rain this Week

Rainfall this month has been running short, so far only recieving 0.01" of an inch, leaving us with a rain deficit of 1.63" inches. There are some rain chances this weekend, however we have to wait until Friday night to see some measurable rainfall.

                                                                               
Currently a stalled frontal boundary is set up in central Wisconsin, this was responsible for some light showers moving through the area. As an upper level wave of energy passes through later today this could be just enough lift to see a few light showers pass through the area, however not a lot of rain will fall.  Best chance for rain look to be right along the Illinois and Wisconsin border. As a short wave trough, or dip in the jet stream passes overhead tonight, this will give us the best chance for scattered showers to pass through.

A cold front will pass Wednesday night, ahead of that there is an isolated chance for a shower or two. But there still isn't much moisture to work with, and only about 0.10-025" of rain is expected.

Better timing for more accumulating rain looks to be by Friday night with our next low pressure system passing into the upper Great Lakes
