Summer Starts with Pleasant Weather in Western Wisconsin

Western Wisconsin welcomed a mild Father’s Day and the first day of summer with comfortable temperatures. The southern part of the region experienced more cloud cover, hinting at an approaching low‑pressure system moving across the Midwest. Overall temperatures were about five degrees below the long‑term average, and humidity stayed low, making it a great day for outdoor plans. The high‑altitude wind pattern will keep air flowing from the west and northwest, preventing the hot, humid conditions that often hit the south. As a result, daily highs will stay slightly cooler than normal, while dew points may rise from the 50s to around 60 by midweek. Tonight, clouds should lift and temperatures will drop again, with lows near 50 degrees.Monday promises dry skies and sunshine, pushing afternoon temperatures into the mid‑to‑upper 70s. By Tuesday evening, a new front is expected to bring scattered showers and possible storms; the day will remain warm. Wednesday may see additional, sporadic rainfall as a low‑pressure system crosses the state, but severe weather is unlikely. A high‑pressure ridge will move across the Northern Plains on Friday, restoring dry conditions and steady 70‑degree highs. Over the weekend, a storm system over the Plains could bring more showers and rising humidity by Sunday, nudging temperatures upward.
