	Wisconsin Weather Update for October 22, 2009.

Posted by: HaleStorm, 12:34 PM GMT on October 22, 2009

Good Thursday morning!

Weather Recap
Well yesterday was a pretty different day depending on where you lived in Wisconsin. Some of my Facebook friends in southern Wisconsin were complimenting on how nice yesterday was with a mix of clouds and sunshine and high temperatures near 70 degrees. Here in the Fox Valley, the clouds remained pretty much all day and our high temperature was only 48. Rhinelander only hit 43 degrees, where it rained all day long.

Forecast Synopsis
A frontal boundary stretching between two different areas of low pressure to our east and south-southwest are continuing to develop a large swath of rain across the Midwest. The rain has already cleared in northern and west-central Wisconsin and is slowly working its way east-northeast. So while the Fox Valley may get a break in the rain within the next few hours, southern Wisconsin may not be so lucky. More rain is expected for everyone tonight and tomorrow as the low pressure system to our south strengthens and may not end until Friday night or Saturday morning. Our weekend is looking cool and dry, but you can't spell "cool and dry" without "dry"!
