.DISCUSSION...

Unseasonable warmth continues with another day of highs in the
mid to upper 80s this afternoon. Will see breezier southerly
winds this afternoon along with deeper mixing heights and min RHs
in the 30-40 percent range. Inland areas, west of the Kettle
Moraine will see mixing heights above 5.5kft and the highest
heights along the WI/IL border into southwestern WI approaching
and even exceeding 6 kft. This is where you`ll see lowest min RH
values that may actually fall below 30 percent by this afternoon.
Sunday looks to be a few degrees cooler and have lower mixing
heights between 3.5-5.3kft, but windier with gusts of 25-30 mph
and similar min RH values compared to today.
