This past weekend was a warm one as temperatures peaked in the low 90s Saturday, then upper 80s yesterday under partial sunshine.
As we now head into the new work week, we'll have to keep a close eye on the frontal boundary that is sitting to our north. Forecast models show the front sitting overhead sometime this afternoon. If it were to stall, there is a chance for a scattered round of storms to develop
along that boundary.
This would be towards sunset, with chances lasting into the overnight hours. Should thunderstorms form, strong to severe potential increases with the biggest concerns being damaging wind gusts, small hail, and perhaps an isolated tornado or two. For this, the Storm Prediction Center continues to keep most of the forecast area under a level 2 Slight Risk. Now, if the front were to shift south of the region, this would make it tougher for storms to form locally.
Overall, it does seem the highest coverage rainfall-wise will remain to our north across the southern half of Wisconsin, hence the slight risk for excessive rain and flash flooding. Forecast models do show scattered showers remaining a possibility into early Tuesday, with breezy conditions developing. Clouds are to remain thick as cold air continues to wrap in behind the departing low-pressure system.
This will leave high temperatures Tuesday in the low 70s. Relatively comfortable weather persists for the rest of the week, with highs landing in
the upper 70s and lows on either side of the 60° mark. We also look to
see a prolonged stretch with lower rain chances that may last through
next weekend. I've kept a very slim chance for Thursday, then Saturday and Sunday.
