.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 135 AM CDT Sun May 10 2026

Mostly clear skies tonight has allowed temperatures to drop into
the 30s in locations where the wind has gone calm, but a few
locations are still in the low 40s due to a light breeze. Expect
winds will still go calm/be light enough over the next few hours
for readings to fall into the upper 20s to middle 30s, with the
Frost Advisory in place for central WI until 8:00 AM.

Precipitation: Surface high pressure starts building in from the
northwest today, while upper low continues to spin across
northeast Ontario, which sends some shortwave energy across
northern WI. The atmosphere is still very dry, but similar to
Saturday, there may be just enough to get a brief shower or
sprinkles, particularly across northern and northeast WI closer to
the shortwave. CAMs also highlight some speckled development from
mid- morning through the afternoon. Any accumulation would be a
hundredth or two.

Models remain in agreement in sending a clipper across Wisconsin
on Tuesday into Tuesday night. Trends have been consistent with
rain chances greater than 80% in most locations (lowest in central
WI). LREF probabilities of getting at least 0.10" of rain range
from 70-90%, with probabilities of exceeding half an inch around
5-15%, highest across the north. So while rain is likely, amounts
are not high enough to raise any flooding concerns. There is some
modest instability with CAPEs around 300 J/kg and mid-level lapse
rates around 7.0 C/km, which would result in isolated
thunderstorms, but severe storm potential appears low at this
time.

On and off rain and thunderstorm chances return Friday and next
weekend as a progressive weather pattern develops, but specific
timing details are not certain this far out.

Temperatures: A couple more below normal days today and Monday
with highs mainly in the 50s, and lows in the upper 20s and 30s,
leading to frost formation and necessary headlines where the
growing season has started. Readings bounce around normal through
the midweek, then we eventually see a shift to southwest flow by
late week, bringing in a warmer air with highs in the 70s to low
80s Friday into next weekend.
