WISC Forecast

Gary Cannalte

Gary Cannalte is a Meteorologist at WISC-TV.

Cool air across Wisconsin will keep temperatures below normal for the weekend, and near normal for Memorial Day Monday. With warmer and more humid air to our south and west, a fair amount of cloud cover will linger through the weekend. Rain chances will be fairly small on Saturday and probably on Sunday as well, but should increase on Memorial Day as the warm front marking the leading edge of the warm and humid air mass heads northward early next week. Highs will only be around 60 on Saturday, but should climb into the middle 60s on Sunday, and into the lower 70s on Memorial Day.

As the warm front moves through and north of the area on Tuesday, summer-like weather moves in as temperatures climb into the 80s. The shower and thunderstorm threat should move north with the front for Wednesday, Thursday, and most if not all of Friday, with partly sunny, windy, very warm, and humid weather, but very low chances for rain.

Late on Friday or on Friday night into Saturday, showers and thunderstorms should return as a cold front approaches from the west, and moves through on Saturday. By next Sunday, sunshine should return, along with slightly cooler and less humid weather as high temperatures return to the 70s.
