Regional View.

A very pleasant weekend if fore casted for the Upper Midwest this weekend, with very mild high temperatures in the 70s and 80s, it will be sunny with dry weather continuing. Sunday a few showers will roll into the picture.

Local View

Locally we can expect a very nice weekend ahead, with plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures, highs could be near if to surpassing 80 Friday or Saturday, Which is almost unheard of in Wisconsin during Mid October. People will want to take advantage of the weather this weekend. A very interesting note is last year on the same weekend in October, I was talking about highs in the mid 30s, and we had 3 inches of snow on the 10th!

Friday will be the start of the nice weekend with sun and highs in the upper 70s, lows will only fall to very mild near 60, Saturday will be the warmest of the 3 with mostly sunny skies and highs in the 70s, I would not be surprised to see a few 80s around the map which is way above the average high of about 60. Saturday Night will be partly cloudy and it will cool off to the mid 50s Sunday we have a slight chance at a shower or thunderstorm with a weak system and cool front moving through, highs should still make mid 70s it will start to cool off Sunday Night with lows in the low 50s

With a beautiful weekend forecasted, this is a good weekend to plan fall color tours in Central and Southern areas of my 6 county area, some nice color can still be found in areas of the north but not as nice as the south.

Friday, Very Nice, Sunny with highs in the upper 70s Friday Night, Partly Cloudy lows near 60

Saturday, Very Nice, Partly Cloudy and Warm, highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Saturday Night, Partly Cloudy lows in the upper 50s

Sunday, A chance of a shower or thunderstorm. highs in the mid 70s. Sunday Night a chance of a shower early then partly cloudy, lows in the low 50s

Looking Ahead

The starting of next week looks cooler with a small chance of a shower Monday, A stronger cold front moves through Tuesday bringing with it a chance of a shower, it may even be cold enough to produce some light snow near the Canadian border. by Thursday the 14th it drys out and remains on the cool side, it warms up for a short time the 16th, then Monday the 18th we have a chance of showers with cool temperatures then on October 20th, the models are showing an interesting system being down very cold air, it this time, it could produce snow as far south as the local area, with highs at or below 32.F and lows well into the 20s It remains on the very chilly side through the rest of the model run. More on this later.
