FOX 6 Weather Notes

From FOX 6 Chief Meteorologist Vince Condella

 

Beautiful evening and clear overnight with dewpoints in the 50s.  Tough to beat this time of year.  Great Wednesday weather ahead as high pressure settles in and brings more comfortable dewpoints in the 50s and light northeast wind.  So the usual cooler lakeside for Wednesday.

 

Question for Thursday is how quickly to bring the moisture back into southeast WI.  The latest run of our RPM model (SkyVision Plus) now brings some rain showers back in by 3pm Thursday.  But this is the first time we have seen this solution - the previous runs of the model have held back the moisture until Thursday night.

 

For now I won't change Thursday forecast and keep it dry, but we will need to watch this one and update it for you Wednesday.  At any rate, looks like rain showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms Thursday night and into Friday.

 

Weekend looks terrific with sun and comfortable temperatures and dewpoints.
