The Latest from Storm Team 5...
We got some nice sunshine this morning, but it did not last long into the afternoon with clouds rolling in ahead of our next weathermaker. The appearance of the sun and a south wind boosted temperatures into upper 20s and low 30s today.
An area of low pressure moving into Minnesota is our next weathermaker to impact northeast Wisconsin. Light to moderate snow showers move into our western counties around midnight, becoming more widespread late overnight and into Sunday morning.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service for Door, Langlade, Marinette, Menominee, Oconto and Shawano counties and into the U.P. starting at midnight, lasting through 3pm Sunday.
Most get 1-3" of snow, with around 1" of snow likely far south. With a brief SE wind, areas like far northern Door county and Washington Island could see up to 4" of snow. Not a major event, but enough to create slippery travel tonight and tomorrow as well.
Snow should wrap up around mid afternoon and highs will top out around 30 degrees, but once the cold front passes, temperatures will fall off quickly and the winds will crank up throughout the night, gusting close to 35mph. Wind chills for Monday morning will be anywhere from five to fifteen below zero.
While it will be sunny on Monday, looks will be deceiving. Highs only in the single digits to low teens at best with a west wind gusting around 30mph. It stays cold Tuesday as well before we warm up to close out the week. Just a few minor systems will pass through or to our north midweek.
