Rare Late Season Snow Possible for Saturday

Say it isn't SNOW!

A potent low pressure system moving in from the northwest Saturday morning will bring with it the chance for snow Saturday afternoon and evening.  For some, the snow could accumulate quite a bit by Saturday night.

High pressure will briefly move in Friday afternoon but then shift into the southeast Friday night.  This will allow low pressure moving out of the Plains to sweep across Iowa and west-central
Illinois by Saturday evening.  Initially precipitation will start out as a chilly rain Saturday morning but will then mix with, or completely change over to, snow Saturday afternoon and evening.  Temperatures stuck in the 30s during the afternoon will allow the snow to be a heavy, wet snow - wherever it falls.  As it looks right now the heaviest will fall over southern Wisconsin where several inches of snow could accumulate.  However, a slight shift in the track could shift the heaviest band of snow either north or south.  This is definitely something we'll be keeping a close eye on in the days to come.
