From FOX 6 Chief Meteorologist Vince Condella

Quite chilly near the lakeshore today despite the sunshine.  Afternoon highs only in the mid 40s at some lakeside locations.  So once the sun sets tonight, with dry air and light wind, look for lows to reach the upper 30s in many locations overnight.

 

Tuesday should be a windy and warmer day as pressure gradient between departing high pressure and incoming low-pressure in the central Plains creates a southeast to south breeze.  The southeast component of the wind will keep lakeshore locations cooler, but low to mid 70s possible inland with more of a south wind and sunshine.

 

All numerical prediction models pointing to showers and a few thunderstorms moving in Tuesday night with warm air advection and some limited lift in the atmosphere.  Convection will be elevated, however, with best instability above 5,000 feet.  So some thunder is possible overnight Tuesday night, but SPC (Storm Prediction Center) keeps us out of any severe threat.  Moisture is rather limited.

 

The good news is our exclusive RPM model (SkyVision Plus) moving all rainfall out of here by 6 a.m. Wednesday.  Cold front passes through by then with sinking motion and northwest wind.  Look for mostly sunny conditions with some cumulus cloud formation for Wednesday.  NAM and GFS models a little slower in taking out the precipitation.  They linger some rainshowers Wednesday morning, but I will side with the RPM on the faster speed.

 

High pressure overhead on Thursday gives us a pleasant day.  Then another question of timing for showers on Friday.  GFS model hinting at a few showers in some unstable air by Friday afternoon.  Not a lot of moisture, however, so doesn't look like a big deal at this point.  However, baroclinic zone sets up over WI through the weekend, with weak surface low-pressure centers moving down the thickness lines into WI through Sunday.  I'll need to keep the chance for periods of showers going all weekend long, although this type of set up may provide ample breaks in the rainfall.

Synopsis by Fox 6 Meteorologist Rob Haswell


High pressure will be our dominant factor for today's forecast with sunshine and seasonal temperatures. 

Temps will be cooler lakeside with an east and southeast breeze.

Tomorrow starts sunny and warm with highs in the upper 60s and near 70 but by the evening we'll see rain and some thunderstorms overnight.  It should wrap up by 6am Wednesday and the rest of our midweek looks okay.

Showers are possibly again on Saturday.

4:30pm, Sunday, May 11, 2008

From FOX 6 Chief Meteorologist Vince Condella

After a cloudy and rainy Sunday morning, dry air is now beginning to stream into our area as low clouds will begin to clear this evening.  Nice sinking motion in the atmosphere behind the departing low-pressure center.  High pressure building in for Monday with weak pressure gradient.  So expect typical lake-breeze to set up and keep things a little cooler lakeside for Monday, although wind speed should remain under 5 miles per hour.

 

We are in-between systems for Tuesday, but still far enough from the moisture of the approaching low-pressure.  So a dry Tuesday as our surface winds turn to the southeast.  Once again this means cooling near the lake, but very nice inland as temperatures reach into the 70s west of Highway 45.

 

GFS numerical prediction model seems to be out to lunch with overblown weather system for Tuesday night and Wednesday, with NAM looking more realistic and conforming with our exclusive RPM model (SkyVision Plus).  So I will introduce a chance for showers and thunderstorms after midnight on Tuesday, then continue shower chances for Wednesday.  Question is about timing and how quickly will the cold front push precipitation out of here Wednesday afternoon.  For now I will broad brush Wednesday for simply scattered showers, but if the system moves quick enough we could have a dry Wednesday afternoon.
