    We better have widespread testing available for everyone by then so we can maintain some sense of normalcy and feel like we are catching and isolating most of the cases.

    It would be nice if they did not deem construction essential business, it's not quite as important as factories, but obviously still a potential breeding ground due to the length of time they are hanging around the site and repeated exposure.

    If I remember correctly, the first 2/3s of October featured mostly 50s and 60s, and I can't think it'd have been much different in GRR.

    One of the airport's morning obs reported, but that was the southeast part of town per lightning data.

    Until this morning, Madison hadn't recorded a thunderstorm since March. Meanwhile, Rockford just to the south, has had a half dozen days of thunder since March. Time for this endless early/mid spring weather to turn more summery.

    That's what your fall is for (October specifically sees a lot of days like today). Here it's been quite windy today but despite temps in the upper 50s and the stiff breeze I did not need a jacket to golf today due to wall to wall sunshine.

    I have to say it, but wrong again (although you're not wrong as often as the liberal bunch would have you believe).

    On the other hand, Wisconsin's percent positive is as low as it's been in weeks. Promising to see on Tuesday when numbers tend to shoot back up from weekend lows: https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2020/05/12/wisconsin-coronavirus-193-new-cases-state-nears-reopening-goal/3114828001/?fbclid=IwAR3wQszAMW84GSnEf6UsaxI60zhZ3yK6lHGCKB5Hh7Z_uAr2qXgsNahA3ys

    It actually doesn't feel that bad out there....with a winter coat. Looks to be an early afternoon low after likely a 1am high today.

    Here's pretty much a first: urban areas as snow and the more rural areas in between as rain. https://fox6now.com/weather/maps-and-radar/interactive-radar/

    It's been almost 50/50 raindrops and snowflakes in the last hour. Third time this week we've been whiplashed from nice weather to crummy in hours.

    I actually forgot it was May 10th as well, that would be eerie. It was not even one month after I was born.

    0z Euro showing some accumulating snow just north of here for the Mother's Day system. Saukville up to Green Bay with 1-3".
  14. wisconsinwx
    Flurries/light snow shower confirmed. May see snow mix in at night with Sunday/Sunday night's system too. Would be something if we experienced snow on both Halloween and Mother's Day in the same snow season.

    It's looking likely we'll see 10 straight days with highs under 60, and our average high temperature is above 60F this whole time. The first half of May seems to rarely be above average. It is one of the best times to have consistent above average temps of course.
  16. wisconsinwx
    Maybe weather does play a decent factor in this; in Milwaukee we've regularly had sub 50 degree days the last few weeks, which is supposedly the ideal temperature for the virus to thrive. Also, crowded parks don't necessarily result in transmission like crowded restaurants or indoor events. If restaurants have truly been packed for awhile, then I for one may breathe a bit easier.

    But it wouldn't be much higher among asymptomatic people, and a lot of these antibody samplings are doing the best to be random (not easy obviously though). 4-6% sounds about right for the majority of America outside of the high impact cities like NYC, Detroit, New Orleans, etc.
  18. wisconsinwx
    Yeah, hopefully I speak for a lot of us that this blowtorch would not be desirable; I'd settle for consistent average to a bit above average temps this time of year. A lot of 70s.
  19. wisconsinwx
    We don't even try to social distance from the regular flu though. I agree it's overhyped a bit, but your second sentence is just not true.
  20. wisconsinwx
    That was four weeks ago, so I doubt it. They were a bit circumstantial, so I think the protests had more of a negative impact than the elections since the numbers were stable if not a decrease in rate for the couple weeks leading up to this one. Didn't realize the meat packing plant outbreaks were largely a factor in the numbers from the last couple days.
  21. wisconsinwx
    Wisconsin's positive test percentage is back in double digits as well Wouldn't surprise me if a large contributor to that was the poor way the protestors handled their business in a mob-like scene as opposed to Connecticut for example where they stayed largely in their cars.
  22. wisconsinwx
    Well the first few days of the month look nice and how you want to envision May to look at least. It can at times be the most frustrating month of the year (certainly near the lake).
  23. wisconsinwx
    So far today Wisconsin is recording its lowest percent positive rate in a long time (6.9%). It has certainly been at least a few weeks since we've seen it under 7%. Hope that sticks and as long as we don't see a bump up in a couple weeks from the protests, I'd feel good about a gradual reopening trend here.
  24. wisconsinwx
    Yeah I'm a little more nervous outside on high wind days like today. I did go out and putt at a local golf course putting green today (only a mile away from where the Brookfield, WI rally was today and it crossed my mind, but the wind was the opposite direction thankfully. Warm/humid/calm conditions should be best to mitigate the spread, which we'll have some of this summer I'd imagine.

    If there is an area that can do this now it would probably be in the SE, as the heat/humidity component will be a good test and may show that things can still be handled if we open up some businesses.
