warm weather…
Short Range Forcast 1-4 Day
Record highs will be challenged for much of this work week. Quiet and pleasant weather through Wednesday with high’s mid to upper 40’s for the Conover area. A weather maker will bring rain showers to the area Thursday with a possibility of picking up a quarter inch of rain, and a rain and snow mix by Friday. This is the system I was hoping for great amounts of snow, but looks to be too warm to produce enough white gold.
Long Range Forecast 5-10 Day
Light precipitation will continue Friday into Saturday with a wintry mix and light accumulation. Colder air moves in after the front arrives with temps over next weekend only in the lower 30’s. Temps over the week of the 12th to the 16 will be back to normal with highs in the mid 20’s. On Friday the 16th, the GFS model is showing a storm system that may impact northern Wisconsin, we can only hope.

the calm before the storm…
Short Range Forecast 1-4 days…
Turning windy Tuesday as northwest winds come in around 20 mph. This is allowing for some light snow flurries to fall in portions of North Central Wisconsin early Tuesday. Expecting some flurries to fall for some for the daytime hours. Otherwise, quiet weather expected with very little weather maker activity in the next several days.
Temperatures Wednesday will turn milder by middle of the work week. Planning for highs to reach the low to mid-40s during the afternoon hours Wednesday and Thursday. Skies will likely turn sunny Wednesday, some sun sticking around for parts of Thursday. This will make for some great weather for the planned Conover UTV ride this Saturday the 3rd starting at Wild Turkey for a buffet style breakfast. Only wish we were on snowmobiles at this time of the year.
Long Range Forecast 5-10 days…
Temperatures for the extended forecast will be staying mid to upper 30’s. No major weather makers are currently producing any big chance of snow during this period, only small chances by late next week for a possibility of 1 to 2 inches. By the weekend of Sunday the 11th there looks to be big weather makers coming out of the plains, but way too far out to say where it’s going, but hopeful we get a piece of this one.
Warm up
...Freezing rain across the central Plains this morning is expected torapidly spread northeastward into the Midwest today followed by another round of freezing rain tonight from the Midwest to the lower Great Lakes...
Strong upper-level flow will direct this channel of moisture quickly northeastward today, bringing periods of freezing rain and sleet up across the Midwest, reaching into the lower Great Lakes tonight. For us in northern Wisconsin, it does appear at this time we will get a mix precipitation. After it is all said and done we have the chance at 1-2 inches by Thursday evening
With no additional replenishment of arctic air from Canada, a steady warm-up is expected to spread across the country from west to east through the next couple of days.
Keep doing your snow dance, we will ride

Winter storm Indigo
The next named weather system is making its way across the United States and will pass just to the south of us again on Friday. El nino is still very active and looking at the pattern of a flat jet stream shows it. Indigo will drop more snow to our southern friends again as mother nature is teasing the northwoods.
Temperatures will warm this weekend in the Conover area to the high teens, with a significant warmup by middle of next week. There is a possibility of rain/snow by next Wednesday with the next weather maker. Too far out right now to know if the white gold will be in our favor.
