☁️ Cloudy skies and a few showers for Father’s Day
Sunday, June 16 starts mostly cloudy across much of Wisconsin, continuing the pattern from Saturday night. Some light rain showers are expected during the early morning, especially near Marshfield, potentially affecting events like the Dairy Breakfast. Most areas will stay dry for the rest of the morning, but occasional drizzle or passing sprinkles may linger into the afternoon.

Farther south of the warm front, temperatures may climb into the upper 70s°F (25–26°C). Despite the clouds, weather conditions should remain generally favorable for events like the Wausau Ignite softball game.
