Regional Weather View.
The big story this week is Hurricane Sandy effecting the Northeast. This weather system is so massive it’s effects of high winds will be felt as far west as the Chicago area. The far western effects of Hurricane Sandy will effect the Lake Michigan area of Wisconsin and Illnoise with very high wind gusts up to 50MPH 1st thing Tuesday. Even across the Upper Midwest Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota winds will be turned north by the strong system. As a result of blocking from this same system weather across the Midwest will be dry and sunny for the rest of this week. There is no precipitation to speak of. Temperatures will actually be slowly warming through the week.

Looking Ahead
Sundays shot of rain will be brief and light as a cold front sweeps through. It will dry out for Monday of next week featuring cooler temperatures. It stays on the cool and calm side through Wednesday the 7th. Thursday the 8th of November a weak system will bring the threat of rain and snow chances for the area. This system is a fast mover and does not look to heavy at this point. It will dry out briefly behind this for Friday, Before a much stronger more interesting low pressure system moves in for Saturday the the 10th. It shows a rather vigorous low pressure developing over Northeast Iowa before moving into Wisconsin. This for our area would have our weather start off as heavy rain Saturday the 10th, then a sharp cold front followed by heavy snow and high winds on Sunday the 11th. This could in a storm in the making, but things will certainly change before this date. Things look very cold for the week of the 12th, especially if we have a snowcover. It will remain dry an cool at least through the 18th. I will have more on the weather for later as models continue to change. Remember models change dayliy so things I saw in this post may not be valid days, or even hourly runs from now.
