FINALLY! Snow in the Forecast

    Wisconsin, welcome to Winter!  A snowstorm is in the forecast beginning tomorrow into Friday and accompanied with that potential the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for most of eastern and central Wisconsin.  Most likely this will eventually switch over to a Winter Storm Warning for most of the area and the remaining area that is not under a warning will be under an advisory.

    The potential is there to get as much as a foot of snow through Friday in some areas.  Yesterday, most of the models finally came to agree with one another that a significant snowstorm was imminent.  Northeastern Wisconsin is forecast for 6-10”, southeastern Wisconsin could see anywhere from 8-12”, and parts of central Wisconsin (including portions of the Fox Valley) could see anywhere from 8-14”. (See the link on front page of my blog NAM/GFS snowfall totals for up-to-date snow forecasts)

   Associated with this storm will be a significant drop in temperatures along with some strong winds that could cause blowing and drifting along there areas of snowfall.  Temperatures will dip into the 20s for high temperatures by Friday and into the single digits by Friday night.

    So in other words, enjoy the last nice January day today as temperatures will reach around 50 degrees but weather conditions will begin to deteriorate late tonight.
