Wednesday Weather Update

Showers across southeast Wisconsin will continue to fizzle along with the western edge of rain that is moving through Chicago as they encounter a little more of a drier air mass.  Light rain will continue to move in from the east through the afternoon.  The clouds will remain thick, however, keeping temperatures in the upper 40s.  Winds have been strong this morning with gusts coming in from the north as high as 30mph.  Higher gusts will be possible later into the evening. 

Later this afternoon and evening I am anticipating the rain and wind to increase in coverage and last through Thursday morning.  There will likely be a sharp cut-off as to where the heavier rain falls.  At this point it does look like the totals that will be over one inch will be to our east.  Closer to home around a half an inch to three quarters inch rainfall will be likely.  The further west you head the rain totals will continue to decrease.  Winds will continue to whip the rain around Thursday before relaxing some late in the day.
