One of the best seasons of the year, Saturday marks the opening of gun hunting for whitetail deer in Wisconsin. This years forecast was looking quite gloomy earlier this week but things are looking a little better for this weekend. Tomorrow we have a warm front approaching us from the west that’ll bring us southwesterly winds to help warm us up back into the 40s across the state. But the storm system I mentioned earlier on this week will be threatening the Badger State this weekend beginning on Saturday in the western part of the state and Saturday night in northeastern sections of Wisconsin. The best chance of accumulating snow will be in northwestern and north central areas where we could see anywhere from 3-6”.
My forecast for the Crivitz (Green Bay) area this weekend where I’ll be heading is:
Friday: Partly Cloudy Skies and much warmer as that warm front moves into NE Wisconsin. Highs will be reaching into the mid to upper 40s with a strong southwesterly wind that will gust at times to 30 mph. If you have some last second preparations in the woods, it should be a gorgeous day to do so!
Friday Night/Saturday Early Morning Hunt: Becoming Cloudy after midnight as our dynamic storm system begins to develop out towards the Rockies and swing on our way. Lows will drop off rapidly into the low 20s, and some spots will get down into the upper teens. Make sure to dress warm but a pancho or rain coat will not be needed YET!
Saturday: Rain will begin to develop in the afternoon and eventually will switch over to snow as the storm system moves off towards the NE. I highly recommend bringing rain gear out with you for the afternoon, it will be CHILLY! Highs will reach the low 40s and will begin to drop by the afternoon.
Saturday Night: Eventually all rain will switch to snow, some areas could see accumulating snow depending on how far east and south the storm system tracks. Lows will be in the upper 20s.
Sunday: Some lingering snow showers in the early morning but that system will speed on off and we’ll see clearing by mid morning and ultimately sunshine by the late morning and afternoon hours. Highs in the mid to upper 30s.
Good news for you hunters---If you’ll be hunting anywhere north of Highway 29 this season you should see some snow by Sunday morning for your hunt. That should get those deer moving. GOOD LUCK AND BE SAFE!!!
---Be Great, CHRIS!
