Discussion Saturday
will once again be sunny, breezy, and very warm as south winds continue ahead
of a cold front in the Plains. That cold
front will edge closer Saturday night allowing the clouds to increase. Showers and thunderstorms could spread into
at least the western half of the state by daybreak Sunday. The rain will continue Sunday through the
region before tapering off by mid-afternoon in western Wisconsin to late
evening in eastern sections. As the
front moves away skies should clear off Sunday night. At this point we think there will be enough
wind Sunday night to prevent temperatures from falling to frosty levels.
However there would be a better chance of frost Monday night. Otherwise the weather looks quiet through
Wednesday. The next front and rain
chance moves in late Wed. night or Thursday.
Forecast confidence is fairly high.

temperature is for vine level**
