Dry next 3 days expected, but Chilly tempetures Thursday. Quick Warm up starting Friday.

Regional View.

A Chilly High pressure system has brought some cooler weather to the Upper Midwest. It will be especially cool across Eastern Wisconsin and Illinois where a low pressure system will actually bring accumulating snowfall to that area with highs in the 30s and 40s. Weather to the West over Western Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, will be sunny and dry, so temperatures will be much warmer during the day with highs in the low 50s. Friday starts a pretty significant warming trend, with highs warming into the 60s by the time we reach Saturday.

Looking Ahead.

The Weather is looking Much warmer for the late part of the weekend into early next week. Next week also looks to be more active, A Strong warm front looks to push through around Sunday, and bring warmer temperatures with the slight chance for showers or Thunderstorms with it. It's looking like a warm one next week, 70s looks to be a good bet, with another chance at rain or storms by Wednesday, then a 3rd chance a rain Sunday the 18Th. It is too early to tell if Severe Weather expected with this, but with warmer temps, and more moisture in the air we may have to watch these systems closely. I will know more as the week goes by. The forecast models continue to show a warm extended forecast, even as we head into Late April. Remember things will change.
