WISCONSIN WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
509 AM CDT THU MAY 16 2013

.YESTERDAY...

A LINE OF CLOUDS WITH VERY LIGHT SHOWERS PUSHED INTO THE CENTRAL
PART OF THE STATE DURING THE DAY. IT MOVED SOUTHWARD ACROSS
WISCONSIN DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. ELSEWHERE SKIES WERE CLEAR AS
HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHED FROM THE WEST. HIGH TEMPERATURES WERE IN
THE UPPER 70S AND WINDS WERE OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AT 5 TO 15 MPH.

.OVERNIGHT...

IT WAS A QUIET NIGHT ACROSS WISCONSIN. SKIES WERE CLEAR EXCEPT FOR A
BAND OF HIGH CLOUDS THAT MOVED INTO THE FAR NORTH OVERNIGHT. THE
CLOUDS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEADING EDGE OF COOLER AIR THAT WILL
SINK SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION TODAY.

.FORECAST...

HIGH PRESSURE WITH A COOLER AIR MASS WILL SINK DOWN ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES REGION TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE LEADING EDGE OF THAT COOLER AIR
WILL RACE DOWN LAKE MICHIGAN FASTER THAN IT CAN SPREAD ACROSS
EASTERN WISCONSIN TODAY. WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHEAST ACROSS MUCH OF
THE STATE BY THE AFTERNOON...AND TEMPERATURES WILL COOL DOWN AS THAT
HAPPENS.

NONETHELESS IT WILL BE A PLEASANT DAY WITH HIGHS REACHING THE LOWER
70S NORTH AND EAST...AND THE LOWER 80S SOUTHWEST. AREAS RIGHT ALONG
THE LAKE MICHIGAN AND LAKE SUPERIOR SHORELINES WILL BE COOLER.

IT WILL BE A CHILLY NIGHT FOR SOME...WITH LOWS RANGING FROM AROUND
40 NORTH TO THE LOWER 50S SOUTHWEST. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP IN MINNESOTA OVERNIGHT ALONG A WARM FRONT...AND THESE COULD
SPREAD INTO PORTIONS OF WESTERN WISCONSIN LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY.

THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN THE PLAINS AND STALLS OVER THE
UPPER MIDWEST. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY WARM THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK.
