.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 251 AM CST Sat Feb 22 2025

Short Term...Today...Tonight...and Sunday

Milder weather will make for a nice weekend for winter sports. Middle
and high clouds will increase this morning as an upper jet approaches,
but they should exit during the afternoon as the system moves away.
Highs today will be pretty close to normal for this time of the year.

Skies should be clear this evening, but clouds will return later tonight
as a stronger upper system approaches from the Northern Plains. Weak
warm advection and increasing clouds will make for a mild night with
lows around five degrees above average.

Sunday will be cloudy, but high temperatures should be able to warm
a few degrees above todays highs thanks to south winds. The warmest
temperatures will be across the higher terrain near the Michigan border.

Long Term...Sunday Night Through Friday

Several chances for precipitation are expected next week, however,
there is considerable uncertainty with the finer details of each
system. Otherwise warmer temperatures, 5 to 10 degrees above normal
are expected each day.

Precipitation Sunday Night/Monday...The first of several short-
waves working through persistent northwest flow will come across
Lake Superior late Sunday night into Monday. Warm advection ahead
of the main short-wave will try to kick off a round of light snow
across northern Wisconsin. As low-levels warm snow may turn over
to a wintry mix which may lead to scatter areas of minor icing.
Moisture with this system is rather disjointed which is keeping
PoPs in the 20-40% range for this time frame.

Precipitation Monday night/Tuesday...A split flow regime with
southern and northern stream short-waves is progged to develop
Monday night which will bring another round of precipitation to the
region. P-type with this system is uncertain as ensembles show a
spread in low-level temperatures right around freezing. Overall QPF
is expected to be light with only a 10-20% chance for greater than
0.1" of liquid. Similar to the first system any icing would be the
main concern impacts wise.

Precipitation Wednesday through end of next week...Another possibly
more well organized system is forecast to impact the region late
Wednesday into Thursday, however, this system is looking less
impressive than 24-hours ago. Precipitation type will again be messy
with this system, but think more snow is possible north of highway
29 with a 20-25 chance for greater than 1" across north-central WI.

The unsettled patter does look to continue into next weekend. The
arrival of a colder air mass will make snow more likely, but there
is still a large ensemble temperature spread for this timeframe.
