.DISCUSSION...
Showers and thunderstorms are likely this morning, with a chance
for more storms later this afternoon into the evening, mainly
from Madison eastward. Mild temps are expected today, especially
in the southeast forecast area farther away from a cold front.
Winds will be breezy as well, as the front gradually moves through
the area. Min RH values will be on the higher side today due to
the rain chances and increased low level moisture.
Drier and cooler conditions will prevail Saturday, with min RH
values falling into the 30s most places away from Lake Michigan,
with somewhat higher RH near the lake. Rain will then return later
Sunday into Sunday night along with even cooler temperatures.
