A strong weekend storm arrives

Thankfully our weekend weather maker will keep most of the accumulating snow and winter weather well to our north.  If you have plans to travel across central and northern Wisconsin, please keep your eye on the changing forecast.

Rain is forecast to arrive between 2 pm and 5 pm across the area.  Some of that rain could mix with some sleet initially; however, surface temperatures should remain above 32 to ward off freezing rain.

The wind will be a big factor on Saturday into Sunday.  Wind gusts could approach 40 mph.  Rain will likely linger through Saturday night into early Sunday morning.  Rainfall totals will range between 0.50" to 1.00".

Falling temperatures and wind is expected on Sunday with some wraparound snow showers.  Snow accumulation will be less than an inch.
