MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – Southern Wisconsin will enjoy another stretch of unseasonably warm weather before conditions turn more typical for February later this week.
Temperatures will remain well above normal through Wednesday, with highs reaching the 50s across much of the region. Monday looks to be the warmest day, with some areas potentially challenging daily temperature records. The current record for February 16 stands at 57 degrees in Madison, set back in 1981.
A weather system will bring widespread rain to the area Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. The rain will be accompanied by breezy southeasterly winds and slightly cooler temperatures, though readings will still stay above normal for mid-February. A few thunderstorms may develop late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning as the system moves through.
Changing gears…
Wednesday afternoon will see the rain tapering off from southwest to northeast as drier air moves into the region. Temperatures will begin their gradual return toward more seasonal levels…
