Shoveling snowfall possible this weekend

Bitter cold wind chills are expected once again tonight as another Wind Chill Advisory will go into effect with chills nearing -25 degrees to -30 degrees.

Winds will quickly increase through Friday morning ahead of a fast moving clipper system that will move through Minnesota and Wisconsin by Friday evening.  A strong cold front will move through Wisconsin and Iowa and then into Illinois by Friday evening with accumulating snowfall likely by Friday night.  Snowfall amounts won't be much, maybe 1" to 3", but with strong winds sticking around through Saturday, blowing snow and lowered visibility will be an issue.

Another fast moving clipper system is set to move in from the northwest Sunday, but this one could either track a little further north in Wisconsin or take a more southern track and leave us with more accumulating snowfall Sunday afternoon.  Right now, a track from Minnesota to right along the Wisconsin/Illinois border looks possible which would leave us with possibly a couple inches of snow by Sunday evening.  Stay tuned!
