It was a day of record warmth in southern Wisconsin! Temperatures in Milwaukee surged into the mid-50s, exceeding the record high of 53 degrees at Mitchell Airport.
Now, attention turns to a low-pressure system over the central Plains. Although this system tracks to the south of Wisconsin, light rain showers may graze far southern Wisconsin early Friday morning. Most of the rain generally stays south of I-94.
There is a narrow window for some light freezing drizzle near and north of I-94. However, major impacts aren't expected as temperatures climb above freezing by mid-morning.
Breezy northeast winds take hold tonight, bringing a much cooler day to the region. Highs will only reach the mid-to-upper 30s. Cooler and cloudy conditions persist into Saturday as highs range from the lower to mid-30s.
Another area of low pressure passes north of Wisconsin late Saturday night into Sunday. A brief period of snow or wintry mix is possible late Saturday night into early Sunday for areas north of I-94. Any accumulation won't last as temperatures climb into the mid-40s by Sunday afternoon thanks to southerly winds.
Average temperatures return for the first full week of February.
