Partly Sunny Friday ahead of a system, Rain chances for Saturday, Sun back for Sunday.

Regional Weather Conditions



The Upper Midwest has been enjoying quiet conditions for the past couple days, but Rain chances will increase ahead of a weak cold front, This system will moved through fast and bring Clearing weather for Sunday.


New Local View Map showing Fridays weather conditions.


Note, I've redone the local weather view map to look somewhat more modern, and to make more room for icons, Blue dots represent communities. Cities over the population of 5,000 are in bold letter. I've also extend the map to show Northern Burnett and Washburn counties.


Locally, We can expect one more dry day before rain moved back in Late Friday. Clouds will probably be pretty much here through out the day Friday bringing Partly Sunny to Partly Cloudy conditions to a few locations. Highs will remain kinda chilly in the upper 60s. Lows in the low 50s Friday. Saturday will have a chance of scattered light showers, It will not be an all day rain, but a few widely scattered showers will be possible. Highs will be in the low to mid 60s due too the rain. Things clear Sunday with Partly Cloudy Skies and warmer temperatures in the 70s.




Friday, Partly Sunny to Partly Cloudy Skies with highs in the upper 60s. Friday Night, Showers, Lows in thel ow 50s.



Saturday, Chilly, Scattered Showers best chances early otherwise Cloudy Skies with highs in the low 60s Saturday Night, Clearing, Lows in the upper 40s



Sunday, Nice! Partly cloudy to Sunny, Warmer with highs in the low 70s Sunday Night, Partly Cloudy lows in the low 50s



Looking Ahead, After things warm up slightly Sunday, A cold front will pass through late Monday and will bring in Much cooler air, This has been showing in the models for the past few weeks. With this air mass we have the potential for lows in the 30s across the entire local area. Frost may be possible,Especially by Midweek. We will continue a quiet cool weather pattern through most of next week before things become more active again by Saturday the 18th, with rain showers ahead of a warmer air mass that will start to move in. by Tuesday the 21st we have possible thunderstorms chances, It looks Mild during this time. It continues to be mild and active though the rest of the model run which ends on the 24st of Sept. The overall pattern looks to warm things up after Midweek next week.
