	Wisconsin Weather Update for May 11, 2012.

Posted by: HaleStorm, 12:29 PM GMT on May 11, 2012

Scattered thundershowers later today, then nice for a while.

The area of high pressure that gave us an excellent day of weather yesterday is moving through the Ohio Valley and off to the east coast today. An area of low pressure centered in north-central Canada is dragging a cold front through Minnesota this morning, and should make it to Wisconsin by later today. This front may develop a few thundershowers late this afternoon and this evening, but nothing severe is expected. After this front moves through, a lot of nice weather is on the day with lots of sunshine and near-normal temperatures expected through this weekend. The sunshine continues for most of next week, with temperatures a few degrees above normal as well. Enjoy!
