Every day thus far in the month of July has been rather pleasant, with an abundance of sunshine, and temperatures ranging from the 70s to mid 80s. Dewpoint values have also been rather low, which has not made the air feel very moist and muggy. Hopefully you were all able to get outside and take advantage of the nice weather while it was here, because things are about to change as we progress through these next few days.


A decent amount of gulf moisture will have the chance to be brought up into Western Wisconsin. Dewpoint temperatures will likely be in the middle to upper 60s though Tuesday, which will make it feel much more sticky, and humid outside. This added moisture will provide the fuel for some scattered thunderstorms development for Sunday and Monday afternoon. It is fairly difficult to pin down precisely which cities see the greatest chances of showers and thunderstorms, as they could be fairly widespread and range from Lake Superior down through La Crosse.


Tuesday morning and afternoon may bring us some additional thunderstorm chances. Subsequently, the umbrella will likely be a useful item through Wednesday. Federer vs Nadal Sunday... If Nadal can beat Federer on the grass of England, then it will definitely signal a passing of the torch. I don't think it'll happen though. Returning to Wimbledon seems to have re-ignited Federer a little. Federer in 5.
