If you
chose Text,
click the small arrow to the right of "General Location Products" and
highlight the text product you wish to view. The forecast for your county can
be found by choosing "Wisconsin Zone Forecasts" so it appears highlighted. The
matrix provides a tabular look at the prediction. Please note that products
undergoing active testing are considered experimental and may not be updated
daily.
In 2005, a new forecast coverage area was implemented to adjust to the demands
of our users. Portions of northern Illinois and far eastern Iowa have been
combined with southern Wisconsin for the "Chicagoland Zone Forecasts" as well
as all threatening weather statements.
For seasonal summer products, including
severe thunderstorm outlooks and risk watches, choose the lowermost item on
the text product list. A new window containing a special Interactive Product
Browser will launch. Summer products will be issued daily from June 11th
through August 25th in 2005.
If you chose Graphic, click the
small arrow to the right of "Official Forecast Graphics" and highlight
the PNG graphic set you wish to view. Then, find the day of the week
and the time of day for which you would like to see a weather element
forecasted for Wisconsin. Some maps will include data for portions of
adjacent areas. Check the date and time of the graphic once it loads
to assure accuracy. Some seasonal products may not be updated daily.
Note that two graphics are processed per
element on a given forecast day. To recall the image for the early
morning hours of the day selected, choose "Mrn". For daylight hours,
choose "Day".
Once selected, click "Load" to display a new
window with the data you requested.
