SHORT TERM

Issued 205 PM CDT Thu May 7 2026

Tonight and Friday:

Another cool May afternoon with temperatures mainly in the 50s. For tonight, skies should clear during the evening, combined with light winds will allow temperatures to fall into the lower to middle 30s at most places. Would not be surprised if there were a few upper 20s over central and south-central WI. A Frost Advisory has been posted from 1 AM to 8 AM Friday.

LONG TERM

Issued 205 PM CDT Thu May 7 2026

Friday night through Thursday:

Some moderation in temperatures are expected Friday and Saturday with temperatures closer to normal for this time of year with readings in the 60s to near 70. There is still a chance of showers on Saturday, although the models diverge on what part of the state would see the highest chances of rain. Behind the system on Saturday, gusty west to northwest winds are expected which will usher in cooler temperatures for Sunday and Monday. It is possible that some of the area would see frost again Sunday night, prompting another night of Frost Advisories. The next significant chance (50-70%) of rain arrives late Monday night and continues into Tuesday evening. It appears by the middle of next week, temperatures should be at or slightly above normal
