.DISCUSSION...

Clear conditions to start out this morning will become
increasingly cloudy by late afternoon as a system will bring rain
showers and isolated thunderstorms for northwest Wisconsin.
Precipitation onset may be delayed or only sprinkles to start out
as the rain fights to overcome the dry air near the surface as
minimum RH dips down to the mid to upper 20s. Nevertheless,
showers and thunderstorms are expected in the vicinity of the burn
site this evening and into overnight tonight.

There will be a break in precipitation Sunday morning, but
another round of precipitation is possible in the afternoon.
Chances are currently slight, but could see a rain shower or
thunderstorm in the early afternoon. Winds will also increase out
of the northwest at 10-15 mph.
