Sunshine returns Wednesday afternoon

It took a little while, but sunshine returned Wednesday afternoon giving temperatures a little boost back into the 40s. 

Southwest winds will continue into the evening, remaining breezing through the overnight. This will help keep temperatures in the low to mid 30s. Under the mostly clear sky, it's possible we do see some areas of fog develop as clouds slowly increase Thursday morning and afternoon.

The increase in cloud cover will be the result of an incoming cold front. That front will move through southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois mid-afternoon Thursday. As it does, winds will shift to the northeast with cloud cover likely lasting into the evening.

Temperatures on Thursday will depend on just how fast clouds move in. A slower return of the cloud cover means temperatures have the potential to warm into the upper 40s. If clouds come in a little sooner, we'll likely remain in the low 40s. Regardless, temperatures will still remain above average through early next week.
