Sunday
Cloudy
High: 36°
Low: 31°
Mainly cloudy and cooler. Wind: West 8-17

TODAY:
Increasing clouds, slight chance of flurries or sprinkles in the afternoon. High 35-40. Winds west becoming northwest 5-15.

TONIGHT:
Mainly cloudy with some clearing. Slight chance of flurries or sprinkles before midnight; chance of flurries after midnight. Low 18-23. Winds northwest 2-8.

You can sum up our weather from now through Wednesday as mellow. A large dome of high pressure sliding in from the Northern Plains will push dry air into Wisconsin. It will be somewhat cooler as well tonight into early Tuesday. I won't certainly call it arctic air, because even at their minimum, the temperatures will be about 5 degrees above normal. By Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday the temperatures will be climbing again as mild air flows in from the Plains.

That large storm system developing in the Southern Rockies now looks to move even slower than we thought yesterday. So it appears the earliest shot of precipitation from it, probably won't arrive until Thursday afternoon. Most likely we'll be warm enough to start with rain Thursday. It could mix with wet snow on Friday, and perhaps be all light snow Saturday. This is our best shot of picking up an inch or two of white on the ground before Christmas. Only time will tell. Any snow that falls will have to fight a warm, wet ground and surface temperatures that are still above freezing through Friday.

It should be cooler next weekend, but I suspect that too will be short lived.

Hope you enjoy your Sunday!

Has anyone heard about the recent Seattle power outage? Well, the ENTIRE Seattle area has been out of power for days. That means no heat or light for miles and miles and miles. It is the strangest thing to see such a large city without power! We were FREEZING, had little to eat... and couldn't drive anywhere for food (some grocery stores were half-open due to generated power... Target was open, but pitch black). We couldn't drive to those places because we were so low on gas and there were no working gas stations for miles! It has been terrible around here. We got our power back on Saturday, and some people are still without power and flocking to our town. Crazy!

Wednesday
Partly Sunny
High: 43°
Low: 26°
Sunny to partly cloudy. Wind: SW then West 8-13

TODAY:
Mainly cloudy for most areas. Some sunshine far north. Highs 39-44. Winds west southwest 5-15.

TONIGHT:
Mainly cloudy with sprinkles and flurries possible late. May be mixed with sleet and freezing drizzle very late. Lows 22-27. WInds becoming northeast 10-15.

Another day has passed and the focus of the forecast remains on the storm system approaching Wisconsin from the desert southwest. It has slowed down just a bit and thus our precipitation chances will be delayed until later Thursday. That means more warm weather for today. A few high clouds may move into the area during the afternoon but they will not keep the temperature from reaching the low to mid 40s. The clouds will get a bit thicker on Thursday and eventually, by late afternoon or early evening, some rain will develop. As temperatures cool off Thursday evening the rain may mix with sleet of freezing rain. This will make travelling a little tricky. Packer fans should be careful coming back from the big game. If there is some rain or snow coming down, drive slowly. The last thing you want to do after a big win over the Vikings is get in an accident. That would really spoil an otherwise great night.

The storm system will remain in the area on Friday and the mixture of precipitation will continue. By Friday afternoon the "mix" should turn over to mainly snow and there is a chance of some accumulation. Will it be enough to produce a white Christmas? It is too early to tell. Right now, it looks like a chance of 2 to 3 inches in the northwoods and less than an inch in central areas late Friday afternoon. This is just a very preliminary outlook. Check back again over the next to days to see if it holds true.

If we don't get much snow late Friday then our chances of a white Christmas are pretty much done. A few flurries may fall on Saturday or Monday, but that is about it. Looking at the positive side of things, at least travelling should be pretty good from Saturday through Monday. High temps will be a little cooler heading into the big holiday weekend but still above normal for this time of year. The mercury should rise into the lower and middle 30s each day from Friday through Monday.

Saturday
Mostly Cloudy
High: 36°
Low: 32°
Chance of snow showers early in the morning, mostly cloudy and blustery. Wind: WNW 15-25 diminishing to 10-15 in the afternoon.

EFFECTIVE 7:10 a.m. 12/23/06

The Heavy Snow Warning and the Snow Advisory that were in effect for portions of northern and central Wisconsin have been cancelled.

Some light snow or flurries will linger across the area the next few hours, but the heavy snow with the overnight storm system has ended. Travel will remain hazardous on area roads for a while this morning.

The low pressure system which intensified over Lake Michigan Friday afternoon is now pushing east into Ontario. It produced a major amount of precipitaton yesterday. In fact Wausau picked up 1.47"(rain and the liquid equivalent of the snow combined). This is the highest one day total on record in December for Wausau. The old record was 1.42" from December 12th, 1965.

Snowfall was heaviest in a strip from northern Adams and Portage County north to Wausau and Antigo, then on north to Rhinelander, Minocqua, up to Hurley. In that zone generally 4 to 8 inches was common. All around that the amounts fell off shaply. Only 1 to 3" generally hit the remainder of our area.

In any case now we will deal with some gusty winds behind the storm and residual cloud cover. We should catch a nice bright Sunday with temperatures still above normal. It could be feeling quite chilly though early Sunday morning. Fresh snow and clear skies at night usually produce a good temperature dropoff as the heat gets reflected out to space easily.

A cold front will then slide through the area late Sunday night and Christmas and could bring us a dusting of light snow or flurries. Travelers be aware, there might be another major snowstorm southeast of us Christmas and Tuesday from around eastern Missouri northeast to Lower Michigan. That storm could affect the eastern U.S. through midweek.

Behind that storm it looks pretty quiet around here for most of the work week, with temperatures cool, but still a good 5 degrees above normal.

Thursday
Light Snow
High: 36°
Low: 31°
Cloudy with light snow and drizzle.

As expected a little light snow developed last night and it measured up to about an inch. By normal Wisconsin standards, this is not a significant snowfall, but by this winter's standards it is huge. Be careful driving to work this morning! The secondary roads and bridges will be slippery. The snow and drizzle will move into the northwoods this morning and then slowly diminish this afternoon. Up to an inch accumulation is also possible in the northwoods before it tapers off. Even though the snow will end, there may still be some scattered drizzle or flurries into tonight and on Friday so the roads will never get a chance to dry off. With temps dropping down to near 30 tonight, it could be slippery once again.

The storm we have been discussing all week is still on its way for this weekend but some of the details have changed. It now looks like the storm will slow down and dump most of its moisture over the central plains. Saturday will end up dry. By the time the storm reaches our area on Sunday afternoon only a light mix of rain and snow looks likely. On Sunday night and Monday temps should cool down enough to turn all the precipitation to snow. If we are lucky, there could be a couple of inches. It doesn't look like there will be any significant trouble.

All the while, temps should remain above normal. High temps will be in the mid 30s today and Friday and reach the upper 30s on Saturday. On Sunday the mercury will once again be in the mid 30s and then the weather will cool off a little early next week. High temps will be around 30 on Monday and Tuesday. I keep looking for the next time "real" cold air will make its presence known in Wisconsin and it still looks like it will hold off until at least the second week of January. The extended computer models are showing a trend toward colder weather around the 10th, but nothing is guaranteed.
