Looks like a little bit of winter weather in the forecast for Friday. Here's everything you need to know for our next storm system.
Timing: Things look pretty quiet for the overnight Thursday. A few flurries will be possible, with increasing snow chances around daybreak. The latest models are showing snow showers moving in closer to midday now, but we'll say snow is possible starting Friday morning and going through the evening before tapering off heading into Saturday morning.
Totals: This isn't expecting to be a major storm. The snow we're expecting will be very fluffy, which could boost accumulations through the afternoon. Looks like a few inches will be possible Friday, with heavier totals to our north. Southern Wisconsin could see 3-4" in some spots.
Impacts: While it won't be a lot of snow, it looks like we'll see enough to make for some slick spots and messy roads. With temps being so close to the freezing mark Friday, some of our snow could melt and refreeze and temps drop Friday evening. Long story short... take it easy on the roads.
Orange Bowl Travel: If you're heading down to Florida on Friday to get a jump start on Orange Bowl festivities, be prepared for a few bumps in the road. Aside from snow locally, a wintry mix is possible for parts of southern Illinois and western Kentucky/Tennessee with showers in the forecast for the rest of the south.
Air travel to Florida might also be delayed slightly with Friday's snow, although flying will be much smoother than driving.
