Tracking a strong low pressure system to pull away across the Great Lakes into Canada. Winds are still strong during the Wednesday evening commute with gusts up to 50 mph. Temps continue to fall with 30s into the afternoon. Quite night ahead but still breezy with mostly cloudy skies.
Quite for Thanksgiving, but chilly as highs make it a few degrees above freezing. Clouds begin thickening up Thursday night as our next travel headache maker arrives off the Great Plains. In southern Wisconsin this will mainly be a rain event. To the northern part of the state it will be mostly snow and accumulating snow at that.
The low pressure system will be strong with more wind, rain, and snow. However, it won't be as nasty as Wednesday's storm system. Best chance for any accumulating snow will be on Sunday for the Milwaukee area. As we start the new work week cold and dry conditions will be settling on in.
