The next weather maker moving across the Midwest may stay too far to the south to really impact Central Wisconsin. The trends are for the chance of snow showers in the far southern parts of the area Thursday afternoon into Thursday night, while better odds for snow to fall in southern Wisconsin. With this storm still a few days out, things are bound to change, and we will monitor the storm track as the week goes on. Highs Thursday in the mid 30s. Some sun on Friday with highs in the mid 30s.

Next weekend could feature another opportunity for snow in the region. The long-range models continue to shift the makeup of this storm system, now showing a slow-moving cold front pushing through the region from Saturday night into Sunday. The early outlook is for mainly snow to fall, but there are still a lot of variables that need to be resolved when it comes to accumulation and impacts. Once again, something will be watched in the coming days. Don’t cancel any travel plans you may have in mind, but be sure to check back for updates. Highs next Sunday are in the low 30s.
