High level clouds will continue to advect and thicken across the region this afternoon but certainly no precipitation is expected. Tonight, the moisture will continue to thicken and lead to some patchy light rain and snow across the NewsChannel 32 viewing area.
This precip will be quite light though as we will be inbetween 2 storm systems. One storm developing to our northwest - producing moderate to heavy snowfall for E. Nebraska, Iowa, -northeast into WI, and the other down near the Gulf coast producing some heavy rainfall there.
In our region, we'll some the moisture... but weak lifting from a minored out H5 shortwave and the weak WAA in place will only mean light precipitation - - - - which leads me to p-type.....
Boundary layer temperatures at precip start time (around midnight or a little after) will initially be at/above critical. So a little rain may initially occur but then should quickly transition over to wet snow with the aid of evaporational cooling and the fact that it will be dark.
Snowfall amounts will be very light and occur mainly on grassy areas. A dusting to around a half inch seems quite likely with this system and that should be about it.
Light snow and light rain will end Thursday morning followed by cloudy skies and near 40 degree temps for the afternoon.
Cold air blast looks to still be on track... arctic boundary moves through overnight Friday - making for a very cold weekend. Temperatures are still expected to be some of the coldest yet this season. Saturday morning - we will likely wake up to upper teens to near 20 but then slowly fall to the mid teens in the afternoon with wind chills at / below zero.
Still think temperatures will dip well into single digits Saturday night / Sunday morning.
Football lovers - huge playoff weekend ! Lets talk Green Bay, I'm told by John Boel that Eli Manning (NY Giants QB) has NEVER played a football game in temps below the middle 20s. Guess what !!!??? in Green Bay on Sunday game time temps: NEAR ZERO.
