Drying out and warming up to start the work week

 

It's been a rather gloomy Mother's Day, but the dry air that moved into southeast Wisconsin Saturday night weakened a lot of the rain that has attempted to push through today. Rain has been making it to the ground, but it's been very light.

Rain comes to an end this evening with a few breaks in the clouds expected overnight. Skies will turn partly cloudy to mostly sunny on Monday with rather seasonal temps in the upper 60s lakeside and low 70s inland.

We'll be even warmer on Tuesday with highs climbing into the mid 70s by early afternoon, but a very strong cold front will race down the lakefront mid afternoon and drop temps into the upper 50s to low 60s.

This could be our first true pneumonia front of the season. A cold front is considered a pneumonia front when it causes a 16° temperature drop in an hour. 

There is a very small chance an isolated shower pops along this front as it pushes inland late in the afternoon, but most of the area will stay dry. Onshore wind will hold temps back on Wednesday, but only for a day as we warm right back into the low 70s on Thursday.
