Your local forecast for Western and Northwestern WI

Not really lot to talk about for this part of the state...Only problem with this forecast will be the Arctic air set to move back into the area Tuesday through Wednesday night....Big story will be a snow storm to effect the Southeast 1/4 part of the state with heavy snow...Lighter snow shall be found North and West of that area...Back to the local area...


***CURRENT CONDITIONS at this 8 AM HR***

Temps are rather cool once again with mainly single digits found through out the FA The warmest spots are in Eau Claire with 11,Ladysmith coming in at 17(which I think is off compared to the other SFC temps) Osceola is reporting 10...Cold spots this morning are as follows...Hayward 3...Rice Lake 5..New Richmond at 6....Winds are light this morning...Most areas reporting clear skies..

***TODAY THROUGH MONDAY***

Look for our rather mild temps to hang around for this time period...Highs in the 30s with lows in the middle teens..Lows may need to be warm upward some with the cloud cover forecast as a storm system passes to our Southeast...

***TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY***

Arctic cold front to slam into and through the area...Should see temps slowly start to fall by Tuesday afternoon. Cold front will also bring a shot of some snow...The way it looks right now a dusting to a 1/4 is possible..May see a few 1/2 reports...Arctic air will be short lived...Highs fall back into the 20s through Thursday with lows below zero again....Temps do warm back up for the upcoming weekend upper 20s with lows in the single digits...
