Memorial Day Outlook

         Starting to see an uptick in the showers a bit here this morning. However they are still remaining widely scattered as a negatively tilted trough, or area of low pressure, moves through north east Iowa and north western Illinois. This could bring brief heavy downpours for the next few hours, through about noon or 1pm. After that the area looses a lot of forcing with the warm front that brought the heavy rain overnight now into portions of north central Wisconsin.


          Skies will continue to clear through this afternoon, becoming partly cloudy to mostly sunny later on. You'll have to deal with gusty winds at times through the afternoon. We could see wind gusts up to 35mph from the southwest through about 4 or 5pm. It will feel a lot like summer this afternoon for any outdoor bar-b-ques, temperatures will warm into the low 80's and upper 70's, and with dew points in the 60's it will feel a bit muggy as well.
Overall not a bad day to get outside, but if you do have any outdoor picnics or activities keep in mind the gusty winds, and maybe add an extra hotdog or burger to keep your plant from flying away!
