High temperatures have been running 5-10 degrees above normal this week! The warm weather continues as high-pressure slowly pushes East. A broken and weak line of showers has drifted into central & western Wisconsin. This has led to some high-level clouds in SE Wisconsin this evening.
A few sprinkles may reach areas far NW of Milwaukee, but there's also a chance some of this rain may not even make it to the ground. Wildfire smoke continues to drift into Wisconsin - leading to a hazy & milky appearance in the sky. Smoke remains far aloft - preventing any air quality concerns at the surface. That said, a lake breeze may contribute to higher ozone levels near Lake Michigan on Wednesday.
A partly cloudy sky remains overnight as lows drop into the upper 50s and lower 60s. Yet another warm day is on tap tomorrow as highs reach into the mid-80s - a solid 10-15 degrees above mid-September normal temperatures.
Storm Team 4 is monitoring the latest on Tropical Storm Francine (forecast to become a hurricane tomorrow). The remnants of this storm reach the southern Great Lakes by Friday. As of Tuesday afternoon, forecast models show dry air and overall slow movement of the storm contributing to lower rain chances for Wisconsin. However, more clouds are expected at the end of the week which will contribute to more mild temperatures.
There is a small chance of showers late Saturday into Sunday - though the weekend does not look like a washout. As high pressure moves East and the remnants of Francine dissipate, Wisconsin will remain on the edge of any rain that develops over the central Plains. Highs remain in the lower 80s heading into next week.
