FOX 6 Weather Notes

SYNOPSIS by FOX 6 meteorologist Rob H aswell

---

An interesting weather scenario over the next two days with a chance of rain and storms but also a good chance of many areas staying dry.

We'll see a warm front set up to our SW today with slow but steady warm air advection into our area with increasing temperatures and a slow rise in humidity.  Right now, the lower and mid levels of the atmosphere are dry enough to prevent any rain for the daylight hours but those levels should moisten later today and tonight.  However, there isn't much in the way of a trigger or added "umph" in the air mass to really get things going.  Additionally, a complex of storms may dive to our south and both literally and figuratively steal our thunder tonight.

Tomorrow with an approaching cold front there is a better chance of rain and thunderstorms but again there isn't much at this point to support strong storms. 

Showers and storms may linger into the early hours of Saturday but by the afternoon, another Canadian high pressure ridge moves over WI and gives us back some sunshine and comfortable conditions.  That lasts through Monday.

A chance of rain and storms returns by mid-week next week.

There is a fair amount of room for change in the next 24 to 48 hours so stay tuned for frequent updates.
