AI GeneratedThe speaker discusses the current weather transition in southeast Wisconsin, contrasting a mild November start with a severe lake-effect snow event from the previous year. While a rain-to-snow mix and wind chills in the 20s are expected by Thursday, the forecast predicts a return to warmer temperatures in the 50s by early next week.
And I don't want the snow to develop quite yet.
It is November.
Like, we got to, it's going to happen at some point.
It is, but let's wait until December.
I remember.
Can we bargain?
I mean, listen, you can try.
Bye.
Yeah.
It's like, good luck with that.
I mean, I'll say this, Kim.
It could always have been worse.
I mean, last year, look at this.
We, last year, were talking about snow.
Where we have that huge lake effect snow event.
Do you guys remember that?
Racine and Kenosha seeing over a foot of snow.
That was all because we had warm lake water.
And then on top of that,
we had almost about a 42 degree difference in temperatures.
So the lake, Lake Michigan here, 52 degrees.
5,000 feet above Lake Michigan, it was 10 degrees.
And what did that do?
That created this very strong
and huge lake effect snow band that really was just off of the lake.
But because we had that northeasterly
flow of the wind, guess what it did?
It pushed all of that snow in, and it dumped about a foot of snow.
Racine County as well as parts of Kenosha County.
So listen, when we talk about snow, it could always be worse, folks.
But that's getting a little bit
of a snow mix coming to our area this week.
I like to consider us pretty lucky, okay,
because it could always be what we had last year.
And we all remember how long that actually took to actually melt.
It was so much snow.
Looking at our almanac, too, though,
we're actually warm today, 64 degrees.
Our normal temperature is about 50 degrees.
So we're about 14 degrees above our actual normal here, our average.
Looking at the conditions now, we've dropped since then.
So we are at 46 degrees.
Our dew points are at 35. Wind is nice and calm.
Looking at those temperatures across southeast Wisconsin,
what you're noticing here is we're starting to see some 30s.
So 37 in West Bend, 38 in Burlington, 40s.
Everywhere else. So everybody, for the most part,
is flirting with the 40s and looking at those temperatures
and how they've changed over the last 24 hours.
We now have everybody to be trending a bit cooler,
except for, you know, about one degree warmer in their area.
And as those temperatures trend throughout the night, we will continue
to stay in the lower 40s, especially for the Milwaukee area.
Some other areas could even get down to upper 30s tonight.
We are quiet right now across the entire state.
We do have more of those incoming clouds
that are going to pretty much cover the entire state.
Then we start checking that rain
that you see just off to our northwest.
Let's look here on our Sky Vision Plus.
So going throughout the night we will continue
to have those clouds hanging around. We get a
chance for a slight for some showers.
Not everybody will see it all at once but we will get some rain
throughout the day. We also will have chances where it's going
to be some dry time especially
in the afternoon and evening it will be a little bit drier.
Now come Thursday morning look at this.
Start to see this. This is more of a rain to snow mix.
Not necessarily going to have an accumulation.
However, we could see some rain and even some flurries
and it's going to be very windy.
So those wind chills are going to be in the 20s come Thursday.
So Thursday is going to be a pretty eventful day.
Really Wednesday leading into Thursday is going to be an eventful day.
But guess what? It gets better as we head over the weekend here.
Temperatures will stay in the 40s. We'll warm back up
as we head towards the beginning of the week where we'll see those 50s.
