Wintry Mix Midweek

Severe Storms Possible Thursday Afternoon

Turning Colder

A storm system impacts the region Wednesday afternoon into Thursday night. Precipitation type remains the main area of uncertainty with temperatures likely to be right around freezing. There is a widespread 20 to 80% chance for at least a tenth of an inch of ice accretion to occur across southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Snow totals are generally in the 1 to 3" range for northern Taylor County.

In addition to our wintry mix Wednesday night, the upcoming storm system brings a risk for severe thunderstorms to southwest Wisconsin and parts of northeast Iowa. Hail is the primary risk, but damaging winds, localized flooding, and a tornado cannot be ruled out.

After near record or record warmth on Monday, temperatures will range from the lower 50s to mid-60s today. By Thursday, the high temperatures will cool even more and range from the upper 30s to mid-50s. There will be a wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, and snow from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday evening.
