: what is the weather like where you are?
Overcast
TEMP: 46F
DEWPOINT: 23F
HUMIDITY: 40%
WIND: From the Southeast at 10 MPH
BAROMETER: 30.38" (1030.1 mb)"
FORECAST (updated 12 p.m. 3/29/07)
TODAY:
Mainly cloudy and mild. High 52-57. Winds east southeast 10-20.
TONIGHT:
Mostly cloudy, slight chance of a shower late-especially to the west of Marathon County. Low 35-40. Winds east/southeast 5-15.
FRIDAY:
Becoming cloudy with showers and storms developing in the far west after 4 pm. Storms should slowly move eastward by the late afternoon. High 52-57. WInd east 10-15.
FRIDAY NIGHT:
Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Low 37-42. Wind east southeast 5-15.
SATURDAY:
Another round of showers and storms, mainly after 3pm. High 52-57. Wind southwest 10-20.
Spotty showers moved through the area yesterday but it seemed every one of them missed the Wausau area, except early in the morning when 0.08 inches of rain was recorded. Some locations south of Marathon county ended up with over a quarter inch of rain while in the northwoods the rain was more scarce. Heavier rain did not move farther north because a dry high pressure system over southern Ontario evaporated a lot of the moisture. Another similar high pressure system will develop on Friday and again evaporate a lot of the rain coming up from the south. Eventually the storm system from the south should win out and bring heavier rain to the area on Saturday. How much rain can we expect. The showers should be light on Friday, around a tenth of an inch. On Saturday around a half in is possible. A couple of locations could get hit with a thundershower and that could push the rain total over a half inch. The rain should wind down on Sunday morning with another tenth of an inch or so.
All the while mostly cloudy skies will prevail. Even with the clouds, temps should be above normal with highs in the mid 50s today and Friday and in the low 50s Saturday. As the wind switches to the northwest on Sunday temps will cool down a bit. High temps on Sunday will be in the upper 40s (which is about normal for this time of year).
The cooler trend that begins on Sunday will continue for much of next week. With a little more sunshine on Monday, the mercury should reach the low 50s but then it is all downhill after Monday. A mix of rain and snow is possible on Tuesday with high temps in the mid 40s. A cold north wind might keep the temps in the 30s on Wednesday. The long range computer models indicate below normal weather will stick around through the first week or so of April so the nice warm 70s may take a while to return. If the colder weather does develop, it will continue a trend that started in February. We started out with bitter cold in early February and then it warmed up for the second half of the month. The same thing happened in March - the coldest weather was in the first couple weeks. Now it looks like April will start out the same way.

I wish I could say that the weather was much different today from Thursday, but it really wasn`t. Nevertheless, it was another day with above average temperatures making this the 10th day in a row. Temperatures will stay right around to slightly above average this weekend, but we will still have the clouds and showers, maybe even an isolated thunderstorm. Keep the umbrella and rain jacket close by this weekend! It`ll also be breezy this weekend thanks to a strong area of high pressure in southern Canada and consistent waves of low pressure passing over the Badger State. One wave of low pressure pushed northeast of the Badger State bringing with it a line of light to moderate rain that started around 2pm Friday afternoon across central Wisconsin. Some places received a tenth to one quarter of an inch of rain.
We will have scattered showers through the evening, then once the low moves north, showers will taper to just a few sprinkles. The main job of this disturbance was to saturate the atmosphere for the next system coming in on Saturday. Saturday will start out with clouds and sprinkles, but I wouldn`t be surprised if some places managed to see the sun peek through for at least a little bit. The break from the precipitation will be temporary as another stronger wave of low pressure pushes from the south. The difference with this system is that it is a very wet system entering a recently saturated environment. The second system will arrive by Saturday afternoon and rain will begin in the late-afternoon for most. The heaviest rain will fall after sunset Saturday night through early Sunday morning when the low is tracking just to our west. Rain will fall off and on Saturday afternoon through Sunday, so rain amounts will not quickly add up over a short period of time. However, rain may be heavy enough on Saturday night to cause some minor flooding, but the majority of the flooding problems should stay well to our south and west.
We will see a change in our weather pattern for next week, but unfortunately, it`s not a very pleasant change. A cold front will push through Monday Tuesday and besides bringing more showers, it will also bring much chillier air down from Canada. Highs on Monday will be in the middle to upper 40s, and then fall around 40 degrees on Tuesday. If that isn`t enough, rain could mix with snow Tuesday afternoon and it will be very breezy. The gusty winds and chilly air will linger into Wednesday with highs in the middle to upper 30s and a few scattered snow showers around as well. The possibility for flurries or snow showers will continue through the end of next week and highs will still be well below the seasonal average in the lower to middle 30s. At least we got our taste of Spring a little early this year so we have something to look forward to down the road!

A rain and snow mix in northern Wisconsin tonight and Tuesday morning should change to all snow from northwest to southeast Tuesday afternoon. Snow should continue through Tuesday night and Wednesday. By Wednesday morning, snow accumulations should be 5-10 inches around and north of Rhinelander, with more than a foot possible in the Lake Superior snowbelt; and between 2-6 inches north of Wausau. 1-3 inches of accumulation will be possible in central Wisconsin. Winds will also be quite blustery Tuesday and Wednesday, causing blowing and drifting of the snow. Wind and snow will make travel hazardous during this period.
The Wisconsin River at Rothschild in Marathon County is currently above bankfull stage which means that there is minor flooding of lowland.
The Wolf River at New London in Waupaca County is just above 7 feet, which is bankfull stage. At bankfull stage, there is minor flooding of lowland.
THIS EVENING:
A few showers or an isolated t-storm south and west of Wausau. Temperature readings fall to 38-43 by 8 p.m. Winds west 5-15.

Clouds will be on the increase for tonight with showers arriving later on this evening. A few flakes may be mixed in for the Northwoods, while an isolated thunderstorm is possible in the south. Lows will slide back into the mid 30s. Tuesday is shaping up to be a messy day in North Central Wisconsin. An intensifying area of low pressure will be track through the southern third of the state tomorrow, in the process producing a mixed bag of precipitation in our region. Morning rain will mix with and then change over to snow later in the afternoon south of highway 29, with a quicker changeover in the Northwoods. A wet, slushy accumulation of 1 to 3 inches is possible in Central Wisconsin by evening, with 3 to 5 inches expected in a good portion of the Northwoods. The highest amount will be up along the border with the UP of Michigan and back off to the west along the lakeshore of Lake Superior where 4 to 8 inches are possible. Highs on Tuesday should top out in the upper 30s to near 40.
Blustery and cold for Wednesday with afternoon highs struggling to get much above freezing. The chillier than average weather persists right through the end of the work week and into the weekend. There may be a few flurries passing by the region on Friday, but otherwise this time frame from Wednesday through Saturday should feature intervals of clouds and some sun.

Light rain showers will continue through the morning with occasional light snow showers in the far north. More rain and a few thunderstorms are expected for the afternoon with a rain snow mix this afternoon north of Wausau. Rain will become all snow by 7pm tonight. Accumulations are likely for most areas, with the heaviest amounts (4 to 8 inches) expected in the northern and western parts of our area. The Wausau area should see about 2 inches by tomorrow morning.
The Wisconsin River at Rothschild in Marathon County is currently above bankfull stage which means that there is minor flooding of lowland.
The Wolf River at New London in Waupaca County is just above 7 feet, which is bankfull stage. At bankfull stage, there is minor flooding of lowland.
TODAY:
Light showers likely this morning. More showers and a few thunderstorms this afternoon. Rain will become all snow by the early evening. High 39-44. Wind east northeast 10-20 and gusty.
TUESDAY NIGHT:
Blustery with occasional snow. Blowing and drifting of snow likely. Accumulations heaviest far north with around 2 inches in central Wisconsin. Low 21-26. Wind becoming northwest 15-25 and gusty.
WEDNESDAY:
Cloudy, breezy and cool. Occasional flurries and snow showers. High 27-32. Wind northwest 15-25 and gusty.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
Clearing out and cooling off. Low 12-17. Wind northwest 5-15.
THURSDAY:
Partly sunny and still cool. High 28-33. Wind northwest 10-15.
You might think that April is a little too late for heavy snow in our area. Think again. The normal snowfall in Wausau for the month of April is 3.8 inches. Back in 1996 we had a 10 inch snowstorm on the 29th and 30th of April. Just last year we experienced 0.30 inches of sleet and snow on May 11th! Snow is more rare this time of year but it certainly does happen.
Even though snow will be taking most of the headlines today, the wind and cold temps will be a bigger story in the long run. High temps will linger around 40 today and then drop into the lower 30s for tomorrow and remain in the low 30s all the way through Saturday. Low temps will be in the teens each morning from Thursday through Sunday. The wind will turn to the northwest tonight and increase into the 25 to 35 mph range. It will remain that windy all day Wednesday creating wind chills around 20 degrees. The wind will die down a little but still remain around 15 to 25 all the way through Saturday. Make sure to have your hat and gloves handy. The wind should finally die down on Sunday and with a little more sunshine temps should climb back up to around 40. On Monday and Tuesday of next week, temps should be close to normal, in the upper 40s to around 50.
Now back to the snow potential. The way things are developing this morning it continues to look like the heaviest snow will fall in the far north. North of Highway 70 (Park Falls, Manitowish Waters, Conover) 3 to 6 inches is possible during the day with another 1 to 2 inches tonight. Areas north of Marathon county up to about highway 70 are in line for 2 to 3 inches between this afternoon and tonight. Around central Wisconsin there will probably be a mix of rain and snow through mid-afternoon with more snow developing toward evening and into tonight. Snow amounts could be around an inch or so in some spots. Even if there is only a light dusting you will want to be careful on the roadways tonight and tomorrow morning because temps will be below freezing and that could create some icy conditions. Because of the snow potential a snow advisory is in effect through tonight for Clark, Taylor, Lincoln, and Langlade counties. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the same time period for Price, Ashland, Iron, Oneida, Vilas, Forest, and Florence counties.
Weather History:
On this date in 1955 record snows fell in north central Wyoming and south central Montana. Billings MT received a storm total of 42.3 inches, and on the 4th reported a record snow depth of 35 inches. Sheridan WY established a 24 hour snowfall record of 26.7 inches. (2nd-4th) (Source: The Weather Channel)

You might think temps in the 20s does not sound too bad, but the wind is blowing at 20 to 30 mph and that is keeping the wind chill down in the teens. Also, you would be surprised how much your body adjusts to the season. We have already experienced 50, 60, and 70 degree weather and our bodies are already acclimated. Going back to the 20s with wind chills in the teens will be a little bit of a shock. So get out your warm clothes and keep them handy all the way through the weekend.
Thankfully we do not have any heavy snow to deal with. The heaviest snow with this storm system occurred yesterday in central and northeastern Minnesota where 8 to 12 inches was reported. Today the heaviest snow will be in the lake effect snow regions of far northern Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan. In these areas, winter storm warnings and blizzard warnings are still in effect. Four to eight inches of snow could fall around Hurley, Winchester or Marquette. A little farther south, Oneida, Forest, and Florence counties are under a snow and blowing snow advisory today. There will not be much snow accumulation in these area (maybe and inch) but the wind will be howling. A wind advisory is in effect through this afternoon for Marathon, Shawano, Menominee, Wood, Portage, Waushara, and Waupaca counties. Winds will be gusting up to 35 mph at times. All-in-all it will not be a pretty Wednesday. High temps will only reach the upper 20s to low 30s.
After today, it looks like the snow chances will be minimal but the cold and wind will stick around. The northwest wind will continue at about 15 to 25 mph all the way through Saturday. On Sunday, the wind will finally let up a bit. The weather will also warm up a bit on Sunday. High temps on Thursday will be in the low to mid 30s, and then drop back down into the upper 20s and low 30s for Friday and Saturday. On Sunday the mercury should reach the upper 30s and early next week (Monday and Tuesday) we should be back in the 40s.

The Wisconsin River at the Petenwell Dam in Juneau and Adams Counties is high enough that the dam is releasing extra water through its gates, and residents around that area should expect rises on the river.
The Wisconsin River at Rothschild in Marathon County is currently above bankfull stage which means that there is minor flooding of lowland.
The Wolf River at New London in Waupaca County is just above 7 feet, which is bankfull stage. At bankfull stage, there is minor flooding of lowland.

It feels so much like winter outside that I am sure some of you are wondering if we are close to breaking any records. It is doubtful any low temperature records will be broken, because the record lows are in the single digits this time of year. We will be close, with lows in the mid teens over the next few nights, but there is too much wind. The wind should keep the mercury from dipping below 10. The one record that may fall is the coldest high temperature record for Friday. The coldest day ever recorded on April 6th occurred back in 1979 when the high temp was only 30 (the low temp of 8 in 1979 was also a record). Right now I am forecasting a high of 29 on Friday, which would break the record. Another interesting facet of the cold spell is that the temperature may not climb above freezing for 4 days in a row (Wednesday through Saturday). The one day that may break that trend is today. I am forecasting a high of 32, but if it is sunny all day long then we might reach 33 or 34.
The upper 20s and low 30s are certainly cold for this time of year, but what makes it really bad is the wind. The northwest wind will continue at 15 to 25 mph for today, Friday, and Saturday. That strength of wind will keep the wind chill temperature in the single digits at night and in the teens during the day. On Sunday the wind will finally let up a bit and temps should warm above freezing.
To add insult to injury, mother nature will bring a few flurries or light snow showers to northcentral Wisconsin on Friday and Saturday. For most of us it will only be a nuisance. The only place that may have a light accumulation is the far north. Around Hurley, Eagle River, and Winchester there could be an inch or two from Friday into Saturday.
Next week temps will warm up a bit more but still remain a good deal below normal. Highs on Monday through Wednesday will be in the upper 30s to low 40s. Another storm system will move through the center of the country On Tuesday and Wednesday and it could create some accumulating snow. Right now it is too early to say if it will have a direct impact on our area, but it will be close. I am forecast a possibility of rain mixed with snow on Tuesday and Wednesday. Check in again tomorrow to find out if anything changes.
Weather History:
On this date in 1987 a storm produced unprecedented April snows in the central Appalachians. Mount Mitchell NC received 35 inches of snow, and up to 60 inches (six feet) of snow was reported in the mountains along the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. The total of 25 inches at Charleston WV easily surpassed their previous record for the entire month of April of 5.9 inches. The 20.6 inch total at Akron OH established an all-time record for that location. (Sources: Storm Data, The National Weather Summary)
