Taste of Winter This Week?

It's that time of year many people dread: When we start talking about the threat of winter weather in the forecast.

The time frame we'll keep a close eye on this week is Thursday. Futurecast has a low pressure system pushing in late Wednesday evening. On the warm side of this system, we'll have the chance for a few showers Wednesday night.

By Thursday, though, colder air will start invading the Stateline on the backside of this weathermaker. The coldest air will stay north of the low, meaning the best chance for snow will stay in central Wisconsin. Since we will be closer to the actual low, the forecast is calling for the chance of a rain/snow mix.

The path of this low will determine what we actually see on Thursday. If the low moves north, look for more rain in the forecast. If the low moves south, look for more snow. The good is even if we see an all snow event, which is a big if at this point, it won't be much more than a dusting on grassy surfaces. Stay tuned for more updates! -BA
