Rain chances return Wednesday and Thursday

The first of two storm systems is set to arrive today, bringing with it the potential for rain showers and for some a mixture of rain and snow. 

Scattered light sprinkles and showers are possible during the morning hours, though it looks like most of us may not see rain until the afternoon. This is when forecast models show a steadier, more organized batch of showers rolling in. For the most part, local temperatures will be warm enough for precipitation to fall as rain. However, a few snowflakes may mix in, especially north of the Illinois/Wisconsin border. There may be some in southern and southeast Wisconsin, closer to the Milwaukee metro, that may see a dusting to 1" from this event.

We remain mostly cloudy overnight, with the chance for a sprinkle, flurry, or rain shower lingering into the hours leading up to the morning commute. 

Storm system #2 slides in Thursday. This one is a little less organized than the system sweeping through today, though it will have enough moisture for light sprinkles and showers to continue into Thursday afternoon. Afternoon highs will be slightly warmer than today, landing in the upper 40s.   

In the end, rainfall totals for most will end up in the .10" to .25" range. Once rain chances come to an end Thursday evening, conditions dry out for Friday and for the upcoming weekend. Afternoon highs will also be on the climb, landing in the 50s Friday, low 60s on Saturday, then upper 60s on Sunday.
