KEY MESSAGES
- Rain and thunderstorm chances Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening, followed by additional precipitation chances for the middle portions of next week.
SHORT TERM
Issued 215 AM CDT Fri May 3 2024
Today and Tonight:
Drier airmass moves into southern Wisconsin today. Clouds will hold on over eastern portions of the forecast area early this morning, but expect to give way to mostly sunny skies by late this morning and afternoon. Generally clear skies are expected for tonight. Light winds also become established through tonight with weak surface high pressure.
KPL
LONG TERM
Issued 215 AM CDT Fri May 3 2024
Saturday through Thursday:
Models remain in fairly good agreement for this weekend and Monday. Next mid level shortwave trough still expected to impact southern Wisconsin by Saturday afternoon. It is a quick mover, but it should provide lift over the area through early Saturday evening. Thinking enough daytime heating and surface moisture convergence will lead to at least scattered thunderstorm coverage in this time range. Will mention this in our messaging, but not sure all parameters are there for anything more than a few strong thunderstorms.
Southern Wisconsin then gets another cold frontal passage in the early to mid evening hours on Saturday. More dry air behind this front for clearing and cooler temperatures Saturday night.
Rising heights aloft for Sunday into Monday for dry and warm conditions across the forecast area.
The unsettled part of this forecast looks to be Tuesday through Thursday with a broad upper level trough setting up over the northern plains. Energy rotates around this trough into the great lakes beginning on Tuesday. Lower and mid level moisture will be in place for the potential of widespread rain and embedded thunderstorms, especially Tuesday afternoon and evening. Will continue to watch timing of this potential event.
The mid-week pattern should keep temperatures near or slightly below normal on Wednesday and Thursday with at least some showers and thunderstorms persisting across southern Wisconsin.
