Temperatures made it back towards average, although that doesn't mean much as it was still a winter-like day outside. However, we've got another wintry presence on the way....snow! A mid-level trough to the north in Wisconsin is pushing some snow towards our area, which will be arriving later tonight, mainly after 10pm.
We can expect to see some flurries in the meantime, which are already starting to push into southern Wisconsin. Those flurries will start to push southward after 9pm.
The overnight is when we'll start to see that light snowfall push across the stateline, with the light snow becoming more scattered around 1am. After that, the snow will stay with us for the rest of the overnight, dying down to flurries by early Saturday morning, and clearing out by around 9am.
The good news is that the bulk of the snow from this system will be falling over in Michigan, where some areas along the coast of Lake Michigan will end up seeing around 3 inches of snow. Central Michigan looks to see 2.5 inches, while the eastern portion looks to see up to 1.5 inches.
As for us, we're only expecting a small half inch. However, keep in mind that this is the first snowfall of the season, and many of us haven't driven in snow since last winter. Also, temperatures will be below freezing most of this weekend, which means the snow is going to stick to the roads, so be sure to take it slow when driving this weekend.
Throughout the weekend we'll see mostly cloudy skies, with only a few peaks of sunshine here and there. We'll hit the upper 20's Saturday afternoon, but get a little warmer on Sunday in the mid 30's. By Monday, another Low pressure system will move in, and bring us more snow during the evening hours.
Tuesday is looking to see sunny, but it'll be chilly with highs only in the low 20's. Afterwards, we'll have more snow chances through Friday.
