Gino Recchia NBC26 Storm Shield Weather Forecast

Tonight we will dip down into the lower 30s under mostly clear skies and light winds out of the southwest from calm to 5 mph. Clouds will be on the increase during the day Thursday ahead of our next storm system. By the late afternoon, skies will turn mostly cloudy to overcast with temperatures near 50 degrees.   A slow moving and broad area of low pressure will bring the risk of rainfall from Friday through Sunday as temperatures fluctuate from the upper 40s to near 50 degrees. Rainfall estimates hover around a quarter to a half inch by late Sunday night. A few light showers will pass through the area on Friday, most of Saturday will be dry with perhaps a light sprinkle. Then on Sunday the risk of rain will be slightly higher. Most of the precipitation will fall to the west of Wisconsin in Minnesota but because of how broad the storm system is, encompassing most of the Upper Midwest, the risk of rain will remain in the forecast.   Dry weather will return for the beginning of the next week with temperatures in the lower 50s and upper 40s.  The next chance of rain returns to the area on Wednesday.
