It's that time of year when we start talking about snow. Although it really hasn't felt like it with the near summer-like warmth many of us have been experiencing these past few weeks. But snow is in the forecast for parts of the Midwest, and the snow could add up by Friday evening.
A strong area of low pressure will quickly move southeast out of Canada Wednesday evening and early Thursday morning. Warm air will be drawn into northern Illinois Thursday afternoon, bringing temperatures into the upper 50's. Behind the front is a very chilly air mass that is forecast to move in following the passage of the cold front early Friday morning.
Precipitation will develop along a warm front late Thursday, which could bring a few showers into the Stateline during this time. Rain will develop over Wisconsin, north of the low, early Friday with snow developing on the backside of the low over Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. Accumulating snow will be likely with several inches adding up over far northern Wisconsin and the arrowhead of Minnesota by Friday evening.
With a more active jet stream overhead and several bouts of cold air, any rain showers that do develop will have the potential to mix in with a few snowflakes, especially at night.
