Holiday Forecast with a Cooldown to Follow

A cold start to the weekend with highs only getting into the mid 20's this afternoon, but we did get to see plenty of sunshine!  Clouds will start building up after 9pm this evening, paving the way for the flurries we'll get overnight, and then the snow moving in tomorrow.

 The flurries will start moving in after midnight, scattering across the area by around 3am tonight.  Even with the cloud cover in place, temperatures will still drop into the mid teens during the overnight.

By the time we get to 6am, the snow will begin moving into our area, where can expect the heaviest snowfall during the morning and mid day.  By 6pm the snow will die down to flurries, with everything clearing out by 9pm Sunday evening.

 The total amount of snowfall we can expect from 6am to 6pm is between 2.5 to 3 inches, with lesser totals up in central Wisconsin.  The higher totals will spread from the Iowa and Missouri border to central Indiana, with these areas possibly seeing up to 4 inches.

If you plan to travel during Christmas Eve you'll want to leave early as the snow is expected to stay with us the entire day.  However, Christmas Day will have great travel conditions, as we're expected to stay dry after the snow moves out Christmas Eve around 9pm.

As for the weather on Christmas, expect colder temperatures in the low 20's, but also expect some sunshine to brighten up your Christmas Spirit!






After Christmas we'll see a big temperature drop, where we'll be stuck in the teens for the rest of the week, with a few overnights possibly dipping into the negatives.  Our next show chance will be Wednesday night, with other snow chances on Thursday and Friday.
