.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 245 PM CST Sat Jan 10 2026
A band of moderate snow had shifted northeast this afternoon,
and was situated across Florence, Marinette and Door County
at 2 pm. Snowfall reports have been spotty during the day, but
most reports in the headline areas indicated 2 to 3 inches.
Clearing occurred over the southwest part of the forecast area
after the snow band moved east, but low clouds and numerous light
snow showers were approaching north central and central WI, in
association with an upper low.
The snow band is expected to pivot WNW to ESE across far northeast
WI, then drop south through the region and gradually weaken later
this evening and overnight. Most of the impacts with this should
be felt across eastern WI, with continued significant
accumulations occurring in Florence, Marinette and Door counties
through midnight, and lesser amounts up to an inch across the rest
of eastern WI. The snow showers associated with the upper low
will be most numerous over the southwest part of the area into the
early evening, but patchy light snow showers or flurries could
persist into the overnight period. Clearing is expected across all
but north central WI Sunday morning, but this will short-lived,
as clouds will increase ahead of a clipper system later in the
afternoon.
Rest of the Forecast... A weak clipper system will brush through
northern WI Sunday night, and could bring light accumulations and
slippery roads there. A second stronger clipper arrives late
Monday night, bringing light mixed precipitation through Tuesday
night. Accumulating lake-effect snow is expected over north
central WI late Tuesday night into Wednesday. Additional chances
for light snow arrive Thursday night into Friday, and last into
the weekend, but no big storms are anticipated and details remain
sketchy this far out.
Temperatures will warm to above normal again early next week. A
decent surge of colder air and gusty north winds follows the
midweek clipper system, leading to cooler temperatures for the
latter half of the work week.
