October-like chill to linger into the weekend

Boy oh boy! That first step out the door this morning will have you asking "what month is it?" because it sure doesn't feel like September. 

Behind yesterday's cold front, temperatures are sitting 15 to 20 cooler compared to 24 hours ago, in the low to mid 40s. Lows as cool as this are typically what we fell in October, not September. So be sure to grab an extra layer before heading out.

This October-like morning will pave the way for a October-like afternoon as temperatures will be highly restrictively to the mid to upper 60s. We do see quite a bit of sunshine throughout the day as well as an organized breeze out of the west-southwest. At times, we could see winds up to 20 mph. 

Further to the northwest is where you will find our next cold front. Forecast models quickly bring this system southeastward, landing in central Wisconsin overnight into Friday morning. With it will be the chance for a few light showers. However, I do believe the higher chance for organized rainfall will be well to our north, closer to the actual low.

  

The associated cold front is schedule to pass through shortly before sunrise, which will help keep this very cool air mass into the upcoming weekend. Winds will be a bit stronger Friday, gusting out of the west at 30 to possibly 35 mph at times. This will keep afternoon highs in the low 60s to round out the work week with upper 60s for Saturday and Sunday.
