TODAY:  After some morning clouds, another beautiful day is expected in the area with abundant sunshine and highs near 83. Winds will pick up a bit out of the southwest at 10 to 15 mph this afternoon. WEEKEND WEATHER: Those southwest and south winds will continue to blow through the weekend bringing in warmer weather each day. Under mostly sunny skies Saturday’s high will reach 84 and Sunday near 86. The comfort level will be good too as muggy conditions won’t return until late in the weekend and into Monday. Highs to start the work week will be near 90. Enjoy this warm up while you can because temperatures drop to the upper 60s by next Friday.

It’ll be a great night to check the skies to see the International Space Station passing overhead.  It’ll be passing around 9:25 tonight.  For more times in various cities just click here.

Clear skies make for good ISS viewing

A cool start to the day but we’ll warm up to the mid 70s under clear skies and low humidity.

If you’re heading to the Packers-Indy pre-season game tonight, the kick off temperature will be near 68° with light SW winds and by the end of the game temperatures will drop to 60°

 This great weather will continue through the weekend as an area of high pressure is firmly in control which brings lots of sunshine to the region. Winds will turn to the south and humidity levels will kick up a bit on Saturday and Sunday while temperatures top out in the mid 80s. A warm last weekend of August. Have a great day!

Temperatures will be in the low 70s today as cooler, drier air filters into the region on breezy northwest winds.  It’ll be cooler than normal tomorrow too (Normal high is 77) then a warming trend will kick temperatures up into the mid 80s by the weekend.

If you’re heading to the Packers game tomorrow evening it’ll be great; Kick off temperature of 67 with Southwest winds 5-10 mph. 

We'll warm into the 80s by the weekend

Breezy NW winds bring in cooler weather

We’re 20° below our normal high for today in Green Bay and NE WI. This will probably be a record-breaking day for many cities in the area for the lowest maximum temperatures.  The current record in Green Bay is 66° set in 1924; in Appleton it’s 70° last set in 1939 and in Oshkosh the record is 65° set in 1939.  For other cities check the map below. 

These records may fall today

These cool conditions are the result of an upper level low pressure area spinning to the north which is feeding in clouds and cool air.  Eventually the system will move to the east but we can expect another cool day Saturday before sunshin on Sunday.

Stubborn System keeps us cloudy and cool

When you look back at the year as a whole, we have actually been quite cool.  Taking it month by month shows that temperatures were above average only in the month of February.  See more here

Have a great weekend and I’ll talk to you Monday!
