3 Things To Know:
- Showers and storms are likely in the Northwoods on Tuesday afternoon, with chances increasing on Wednesday.
- Severe weather is a possibility Wednesday afternoon, with the main threat being strong winds and heavy rainfall.
- Temperatures are set to rise slightly above normal this week, reaching the mid to upper 80s.
Weather Overview
Quiet conditions are on tap for today and tonight, with high pressure providing a sunny afternoon. However, changes are on the horizon as we move into Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tuesday’s Forecast
A fast-moving shortwave will bring rain and showers to parts of central Wisconsin, particularly in the Northwoods, with a 30-50% chance for precipitation in the afternoon. Although some areas may experience rumbles of thunder, severe weather is not expected on Tuesday.
Midweek Storms
By Wednesday, expect a more active weather pattern. A slow-moving frontal boundary will push southeast across our area, enhancing the chances for showers and thunderstorms to 60-85%. “The exact timing of each round remains uncertain,” but we anticipate two main rounds of storms—one early in the day and another in the afternoon.
Severe Weather Potential
The potential for severe weather primarily exists in the late afternoon. While earlier rain may limit instability, sufficient bulk shear could organize a few storms. Winds will be the main concern, along with the potential for hail. Heavy rainfall is anticipated, particularly across northern Wisconsin, where localized totals might exceed two inches.
Temperature Trends
High temperatures are expected to reach the mid to upper 80s on Tuesday and Wednesday, though rain and cloud cover may affect Wednesday’s highs. Following this front, temperatures will dip into the upper 70s to lower 80s before potentially rising again toward the weekend.
Looking Ahead
Once the active weather moves through, high pressure is likely to return, keeping widespread precipitation at bay. However, some hints of instability on the weekend may bring a stray shower or two.
