.DISCUSSION...
Another day of summer-like temps, but will be windier than
previous days with southerly winds gusting to around 25-30 mph.
Given stronger winds, expect deeper mixing heights ranging from
4.5-5.7 kft for inland areas along and west of the Kettle
Moraine, while areas east top off between 2.4-3.5 kft. Min RH
values this afternoon will once again range from 30-40 percent,
but a few locations may fall below 30 percent at times especially
for southwestern and south-central areas of WI. Low pressure off
to our northwest will continue to track northeast into Ontario
today and eventually drag a cold front across the area on Monday.
Will see gradually increasing shower and few thunderstorm chances
ahead an along the front late tonight through the day Monday
along with light winds, more cloud cover and not as warm of temps.
