.DISCUSSION...
Easterly winds expected to develop through the morning. Will see
multiple waves of showers beginning this afternoon and continue
through tonight into early Monday morning as low pressure tracks
in from the southern Plains across southern WI into Monday.
Cannot rule out a few thunderstorms with the evening round of
showers. Thus with increasing moisture looking at higher RH values
today with min RHs ranging between 45-60 percent. Mixing heights
will remain below 4kft today for inland areas and less than 2kft
for near lakeshore areas. Will see breezy easterly winds increase
and turn southerly tonight before becoming gusty and turn westerly
behind the low and its cold front for Monday afternoon.
