A lot of folks have asked about ways to measure Air Quality. While this does not include pollen/allergens it does include ways to measure pollution which can impact folks with breathing issues. Here is more: https://t.co/1FhAT81UVu

5/7 10:30pm: Sunny, blustery and still a bit cool (especially near the lake) on Thursday. Areas of frost possible on Friday morning. But there is a warm up on the way by the weekend and continuing into next week. Should be great for Mom on Mother's Day! https://t.co/4e9MvnL6GF

This is a cool. A little batch of rain developed on radar north of Sheboygan on Wednesday evening. But it was evaporating before reaching the ground. You can see the streaks of rain evaporating as it is falling. This is from Joseph & Renee. This is known as "virga." https://t.co/SFtvAZ1wfZ

8:30pm Wednesday: Tonight's science lesson. Why is it so windy closer to the lake and not as windy inland? A part of the reason has to do with friction. The wind is blowing in out of the northeast, across the long part of the lake. There is no friction over the lake, so the wind https://t.co/aFq7Ut83Ot

3:54pm Wednesday: Windy and chilly, especially near the lake this afternoon. The wind will continue tonight as temperatures dip into the 40s areawide. Mostly sunny, blustery and chilly again on Thursday. Much warmer this weekend with highs in the 70s. https://t.co/FDihj5eIfv

5/6 10:40pm: Much cooler on Wednesday and windy. Strong NE winds will keep temperatures in the low 50s near the lake, around 60 in Waukesha, mid-60s in Jefferson county. Warming up just in time for the weekend and for Mom on Mother's Day! https://t.co/VDuG0en3gp

5/6 Tuesday Night: We have a much cooler day on Wednesday as a cold front comes through in the morning. Low 50s near the lake, mid-60s far inland. Very windy with a NE wind, strongest winds near the lake. https://t.co/GWKx6NVxMq

My daughter always has to steal the show. 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/gZa3ctmcCD

Here is tonight's science lesson. We saw a lake breeze near Lake Michigan on Tuesday. This is different from a widespread easterly wind across the area. A Lake Breeze develops specifically because of the cooler water. Here is more. https://t.co/1yqKHFnKuf

3:30pm Tuesday: What a gorgeous day across SE WI. Are you enjoying this afternoon? The lake breeze has kicked in as expected so we are dropping near the lake. We have a nice evening on the way with temperatures gradually falling into the 50s. Sunset is close to 8pm! https://t.co/gXMr1gDzsr

A warm up is on the way Tuesday. Highs in the low-to-mid 70s with partly cloudy skies. Cooling within a few miles of the lakeshore in the afternoon (into the upper 60s). Much cooler Wednesday as a stiff NE wind takes hold. Gradually warming up later in the week into the weekend. https://t.co/tvyo3dty4M

9pm Monday: Are you ready for a Tuesday warm up? Typically a northwesterly wind is not a warm one for us, but there is warm air to our northwest. This will move in on Tuesday. The wind will shift off of the lake (along the lakeshore) in the afternoon, keeping those areas a bit https://t.co/C8GZGDEl4n

5:08pm: Some are enjoying sun this evening while others are stuck in the clouds. We will see some patchy fog tonight as temperatures drop into the 40s. Are you ready for a warm up? Mid-70s inland (Waukesha and west) on Tuesday, upper 60s near the lake. https://t.co/xgYPbvGh9V

5/4 10:35pm: A few light rain showers on Monday morning otherwise it will be a dry week. Temperatures in the 60s, cooler near the lake at times. IF we can keep the wind out of the west on Saturday, we will start to warm up. The longer range forecast shows warmer weather next week https://t.co/vafPgrOGJd

9:12pm: Light rain will move in from the *east* overnight and continue into parts of Monday morning. Most of the light rain should be done by 9-10am. Only a few hundredths of an inch expected. Some gradual clearing later in the day. High of 55 near the lake, 62 inland. https://t.co/S1yFJBBIiu

5:40pm: Rain showers will move in from the east this evening, impacting Kenosha and Racine first. This will mainly be light rain and it will linger into parts of Monday morning. https://t.co/CzXa1ARs3y

3:12pm Sunday: It's a beautiful afternoon with some sun. Temperatures are in the 50s near the lake, 60s inland. We have a cutoff low to our SE. This will bring clouds/light rain our way from the southeast tonight. Light rain showers late this evening into Monday morning. https://t.co/zGykxyTp6I
