Tuesday's actual high of 44 was one degree below the predicted value, and Tuesday's low of 36 was 2 degrees off the predicted value. Wednesday's low of 36 was 1 degree below the predicted value, and the high of 49 was 5 degrees above the predicted value. Thursday's high set a record of 56, five degrees above the predicted value, while Wednesday's low temperature was six degrees above. Actual highs and lows were in the mid 40s and mid 30s on Friday and Saturday. To kick off another warm week, Sunday's high temperature set the record high, 3 degrees above the 1975 record of 57. Overall, the temperature forecast was of relatively high accuracy, waning a bit later in later forecast days to stronger warm air advection than expected associated with a surface cyclone which tracked across northern Wisconsin.<br /><br />Precipitation-wise, the forecast was also accurate. A trace of rain fell Thursday and Friday, .01 inches fell on Saturday, and Sunday ended up being the major rain day with 1.45 inches of rain recorded at the Dane County Regional Airport.Robert Kelnoskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690130184773889779noreply@blogger.com
