Breezy Today, Windy Tomorrow!

It took a while for thunderstorms to break through the cap and materialize yesterday. We dodged the severe weather threat as only a few strong storms formed right after sunset and moved into Southern Wisconsin. As we were all waking up this morning, a cold front was making its way through the Stateline. This has set the stage for a chilly, cloudy, and breezy day for the Stateline. 

We have been mostly cloudy and breezy for most of our Thursday morning. A recent look at satellite and radar shows a band of showers now moving through the eastern half of the viewing area. This is all due to a upper-level trough that is currently moving through the Great Plains. The shower activity should decline as we head into this afternoon. but a shower or two still cannot be ruled out.

Did you enjoy the 75° temperatures yesterday? Well, we are sad to say that today is going to feel the total opposite. With the passing of this mornings cold front, temperatures will be fluctuating in the upper 40's-low 50's throughout the afternoon. Not only that, its going to be breezy as there will be an uptick in winds this afternoon. Winds will gust out of the northwest at 20 to 25 mph at times.

Now heading into Friday, a low pressure system will slowly track southeast of the region to start of the morning. This low will strengthen and deepen causing a tight pressure gradient at the surface. The tighter the pressure gradient is, the stronger the wind gusts. Tomorrow, we can expect wind gusts a little bit stronger than today. Temperatures stay below average as well making it a chilly and windy start to the weekend.
