Weather alert! PERFECT WEATHER predicted for SE WI today.

Hey, don't say I'm one to always and only push gloom and doom projections on our Walker guided state.

Really, pretty much a perfect day high in the mid-70's with humidity falling into the 40% range mid-afternoon. And Temps falling into the 60's shortly after sunset.

Overnight, it'll be glorious sleeping weather, especially for those of us who break a sweat laying down when it's warmer than 68 F. You'll get a low of 55 F if you live away from the concrete heat islands

and the novel taste of keeping red-worms warm while ice-fishing is well and truly spent by the first of Mar.

But today, TODAY! This was one of those days that explains why people live up here. Gloriously sunny and the atmosphere...it's as if the whole out-of-doors is air-conditioned!
