FRIDAY: Occasional rain. Rainfall amounts will reach near half an inch. Some snow showers will mix in with the rain for the afternoon and evening hours. A few slick spots may develop on some roads Friday evening and night, but widespread impacts are not expected at this time locally. High near 40F. Low 21F. Wind NNE at 10 to 20 mph.

Today will be our coldest day left of the work week, but it won’t feel cold compared to what we experienced last week; tomorrow is when we are likely to break our first record highs of the year.

A lot of active weather to start this new week with wind and snow. Today is a First Alert Weather Day because of the strong winds. Snow will come in rounds tonight and Tuesday afternoon.

Yellow Alert Wednesday for increasing snow and wind during the morning with falling temperatures later in the day. After a lull in the wintry weather early this morning, conditions will begin to go downhill after 8AM.

Strong wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph may snap tree branches and cause localized power outages from 10 AM until 10 PM.

Highs will top out in the low-40s in the Northwoods and mid to upper-40s further south as many record highs are expected to be broken. A cold front will pass through late tomorrow night into Friday morning,
