In west central Wisconsin the year 1980 stood out for extreme and variable weather. Volunteers recorded rainfall across counties showing marked differences, with Clark County experiencing notable variation as the region’s climate record remained highly fickle.
National Weather Service predicts a colder eastern half and warmer western half with drier overall conditions. Head of the long range office, Donald L. Gilman, says accuracy is about two thirds for temperature and about 55 percent for precipitation, contrasting with Old Farmer's Almanac and other unofficial forecasts.
Clark County leads the area rainfall chart for the first time this year with over 36 inches from April 1 to Oct 31 helped by a single August deluge. Across 13 counties, August logged the most rain, aiding a near all time high corn crop while groundwater in the region reaches NOAA plus four. National outlook warns of potential drought next year despite recent moisture.
The forecast shows a 60 percent chance of above normal temperatures and a 60 percent chance of below normal temperatures across two categories, compared with the 1941-70 normals. Each category has a 50 percent natural frequency, with a 50 percent indeterminate chance for above or below normal outcomes.
National Weather Service forecasters in the Twin Cities expect cloudy dry conditions from Thursday to Saturday with temperatures easing. Daytime highs in the 40s on Thursday, low 30s Friday, and 18 to 22 Saturday. overnight lows 20s Thursday, 10 to 15 Friday, and 0 to 5 below Saturday.
