Discussion:      Some patches of low clouds were still present Wednesday morning in north through central and eastern Wisconsin thanks to a departing low pressure system and Canada.  Drier air will be feeding in throughout the day so some sun is also expected with time, starting earliest in west and southwest areas.  Temperatures will remain chilly with slight warming the next several days.  Wednesday night could be quite frosty in the marshes with light winds and mostly clear skies.  Forecast confidence in that is fairly high.  It still looks tranquil Thursday into early Friday.  Clouds will increase Friday as a front sweeps east form the Plains.  It still looks like a high chance of showers Friday night to early Saturday.  It should turn partly cloudy and mild for the rest of the weekend.
