Tonight-Friday: Cold, Light Snow Friday
Low-level stratus remained prevalent along with some flurries this
afternoon as colder air continues to work across the region. Broad
troughing will remain anchored across the eastern US through Friday
keeping our area in cold northwest flow aloft. Although colder air
arrives for the weekend, the next few days will still be well below
average with highs in the teens and 20s and lows mainly in the
single digits on either side of zero, modulated by cloud trends.
Snow with a shortwave trough dropping southeast from the northern

some flurries or light snow may graze central Wisconsin on
Thursday.
