Light Snow Tonight - Friday, Warmer Next Week!

A band of snow moves across central Iowa late tonight into Friday morning, scraping northeast Iowa and far southwest Wisconsin. A narrow corridor of 4-7 inches of snow could fall just north of Interstate 80, with amounts quickly tapering off to the north. Due to this sharp cutoff in snow amounts, any slight northward shift in the storm track will increase snow amounts for areas around a line from Oelwein, IA to Platteville, WI. Currently, the forecast for these areas is around 1-1.5" of snow, but there are some indications that the band is shifting northward. Moving into the weekend, temperatures warm quickly with highs in the 40s and 50s, possibly even the low 60s for Monday! There are a few token shots of light snow possible today (Thursday) and Saturday in central Wisconsin, but should be of little impact.
