.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 134 PM CST Sat Feb 7 2026

Tonight

A shortwave trough will move southeast through Wisconsin
tonight. There may be enough low-level saturation in Wisconsin
for some flurries and light snow. If light snow occurs, no
accumulations are expected. Low temperatures will range from 10
to 20 degrees north of Interstate 94 and 20 to 25 degrees for
the remainder of the area.

Monday night

On Monday night, a northern stream shortwave will move east
along the US/Canadian border. As this occurs, the flow aloft
will become more zonal. At the surface, a cold front will move
east across the area. Any precipitation with this system will
be highly dependent upon the southern extent of the warm front
where there will be deeper saturation and lift. The
probabilities for 0.01 inches of precipitation is up to a 10
percent along Interstate 94 and from 20 to 40 percent north of
Wisconsin 29. If precipitation does indeed occur, it would be in
the form of snow. Low temperatures will range from the upper
teens to mid-20s.

Wednesday night into Friday night

Still plenty of uncertainty on where the ridge axis will be
located over the Northern and Central Plains and how far a
Canadian trough will extend west of the Great Lakes. This
affects where the low-level moisture return will be located. 71
percent of Grand Ensemble has at least a chance of 0.01 inches
of precipitation falling across the entire area. Meanwhile, 29
percent of the Grand Ensemble members keep Wisconsin mainly
dry. High temperatures will be in the 30s and low temperatures
will be in the mid- and upper teens north of Interstate 94 and
in the lower and mid-20s elsewhere.
