What’s coming up
Times of light snow and snow showers on Sunday, from late morning into the evening. Roads are expected to range from slippery to snow-covered Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. Accumulations of a coating to around 1″ are forecast for most of the region, with somewhat higher amounts possible west of Highway 13 of 1-2″. Highs on Sunday in the low 20s.
Groundhog Day is on Monday. The odds favor cloudy conditions in Sun Prairie when Jimmy makes his appearance. That would, based on folklore, mean an early spring could be ahead. No less, the weather models are still pointing to much more winter to go. Clouds will break for some sun on Monday with highs in the low to mid 20s.
Looking ahead
Mostly sunny and chilly Tuesday with highs in the upper 10s. A fair amount of sun Wednesday with highs in the low 20s. The next weather maker arrives later Thursday with an opportunity for snow or snow showers into Thursday night. Scattered snow showers and breezy on Friday. Highs in the mid 20s on Thursday for National Weather Person Day, while dropping temperatures on Friday from the upper 20s in the morning to the 10s for the afternoon.
