Regional View.
Things are about to get a bit more interesting across the Upper Midwest as a Moderate Winter system actually moves in from the Northeast! rather then the typical “East to West” flow. Minor accumulations will fall across much of Northern Wisconsin/ Southeast Minnesota, There might be more Significant accumulations across the U.P of Michigan, due to lake enhanced snow, Temperatures look Chilly for Monday, But then things warm back up with more sunshine Tuesday and Wednesday as things clear out.
Local View.
As attention is turned to this Wintry System this is what were looking at,
Light to Moderate Snow has already begun across the area Sunday afternoon, by Monday Morning Light snow will probably be falling. Light Snow to Moderate at times will continue through the afternoon Monday, But there shouldn’t be anything too extremely heavy, But visibilities will still drop, and there will be some blowing and drifting snow Monday. Late Monday the snow will end so it is a fairly quick moving system Temperatures on Monday will be chilly compared to what is expecting this time of year, Highs will only make the lower to middle 20s.
Snowfall Accumulations.
This is what I’m thinking, The highest snowfall accumulations will be in Washburn, SE Burnett, Barron, Polk, NE Dunn and St Croix Counties, from northeast areas to southwest areas. in this area I’m thinking 3-4 inches is looking like a good possibility, but 5 inches isn’t out of the question, NW Burnett and SE Dunn counties will probably be closer to 1-3 inches, but up to 4 inches is possible, Winds will be breezy out of the North neat 20MPH at times, so there will be some blowing and drifting snow, both Sunday Night and on Monday
Were looking at a warmer Tuesday & Wednesday, with clearing skies, and temps both days in the upper 20s, Which is what is to be expected this time of year. Tuesday may start of cloudy with some flurries, but it should become Partly Cloudy by the afternoon. Wednesday has the best chance of sunshine, It’s not looking like a bad day at all Wednesday Partly Cloudy skies with highs in the upper 20s and light winds. Lows both days in the single digits above zero.
