Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southern Wisconsin
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
419 AM CDT Tue Apr 22 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Morning round of showers and a few thunderstorms especially for
southwestern WI. Will then see a warm front lift northward
through the morning/afternoon before waffling back southward
through the evening. Looking at lighter and more variable winds
across southern WI today given the warm front and potential lake
breeze. Accompanying the warm front will be warm temps and
increasing moisture. Thus min RHs are expected to remain above 40
percent today with mixing heights ranging between 2.4-3.8kft for
area west of the Kettle Moraine and even lower closer to Lake
Michigan. There will be additional shower and storm chances this
evening into Wednesday morning, mainly for areas along the WI/IL
border.
