Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Southern Wisconsin stays mild Thursday, with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s before a strong Colorado low moves in late afternoon.
Rain develops later Thursday and Thursday night, with a west-to-east changeover to light snow late tonight into early Friday. Accumulations look minor near Lake Michigan, but areas near Madison could pick up 1 to 3 inches.
Gusty northwest winds arrive as the system exits Friday morning, ushering temperatures back toward seasonal norms for the weekend.
After a few flurry chances Saturday night into Sunday, attention turns to a fast-moving clipper Tuesday night into Wednesday, though track uncertainty keeps precipitation type in question.
