OCCASIONAL LIGHT SNOW THROUGH SATURDAY, ARCTIC COLD NEXT WEEK

The same winter storm has lost it’s punch as it still wobbles across the western Great Lakes. This storm aloft in our atmosphere, will give us periods of light snow over the next 36 hours. Another inch or less is expected through this evening, but snow showers will eventually wrap up by Saturday afternoon. You’ll probably find yourself shoveling or scraping off your driveway at times through this weekend.

The fresh fluffy snow will make the roads slippery at times. Drivers should allow for extra travel time for the rest of Friday. Road conditions should improve on Sunday as the storm finally drifts away.

Then, we’ll be watching for a blast of bitter cold air, originating from Siberia, Russia. This frigid air mass has been making it’s way across the Arctic Circle and is now heading into North America. A northwest flow with the jet stream will blow this snappy cold Siberian air into northeast Wisconsin. High temperatures through most of next week will be in the teens, with occasional subzero wind chills.

Temperatures will probably be in the teens during the Monday night’s Packers-Rams game. Early indications suggest the wind will be light, which will be good for the fans in the stands. Skies will be turning cloudy by the evening kickoff. A disturbance might bring some snow showers around or after the game.
