An approaching low-pressure system has generated scattered showers across the Great Plains this afternoon. Dry air is limiting initial rainfall in southern Wisconsin, but steady rain is expected after 8 pm across SE Wisconsin. Light to moderate rain continues overnight — driving totals up to half an inch. This much-needed rainfall will help the ongoing drought in the area. Rain showers taper off after sunrise on Thursday. Overnight lows will only fall into the upper 40s given the extra cloud cover around.
Clouds remain overhead Thursday and Friday with some breaks of sunshine possible. High temperatures remain several degrees above normal — topping out in the lower and mid-50s through the weekend.
Outside of a stray shower early Sunday, the next best opportunity for rainfall arrives late Monday into Tuesday. This next system appears quite dynamic. A major cold front could swing through mid-next week. Storm Team 4 is closely monitoring computer model trends. Stay tuned!
