An approaching cold front could make conditions wet and windy for President Obama’s campaign stop on the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison on Thursday.
The National Weather Service is predicting a 40-percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Winds could gust up to 25 miles per hour. Umbrellas will not be allowed.
The President will have left before that same cold front pushes temperatures down from a high in the low 70s on Thursday to the 50s on Friday.
The Obama rally on Bascom Hill is expected to mean big crowds, road closings and traffic at a standstill near the campus. Gates for the event will open at noon.
The last time the president was in Madison two years ago more than 26,000 thousand people showed up.
