Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southern Wisconsin
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
358 AM CDT Fri Apr 4 2025

.DISCUSSION...

An upper disturbance will quickly progress from the southern Great
Plains into the Ohio River Valley tonight, bringing rain chances
(~40% and above) to all of southern Wisconsin. Rain chances will
be highest (~60% and greater) across south-central and
southeastern Wisconsin. Winds will shift out of the north-
northwest on Saturday, bringing drier air into southern Wisconsin.
Said dry air will remain entrenched through the first half of next
week. A round of light snow is expected Sunday night through
Monday morning over east-central and southeastern Wisconsin.
Generally north to northwest winds will remain entrenched through
Tuesday. Winds will turn southerly and eventually southwesterly
mid-late next week, allowing for higher relative humidities to
return to southern Wisconsin.
