Winter Storm Warning For Saturday Night!!!

...WINTER STORM WARNING NOW IN EFFECT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND 
SUNDAY... 
 
.FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON...LIGHT FREEZING RAIN AND DRIZZLE 
WILL COME TO AN END BY EVENING AS LOW PRESSURE PASSES BY TO THE 
SOUTHEAST AND MOVES AWAY FROM THE REGION. THEN A QUIET PERIOD RETURNS FOR THE REMAINDER OF TONIGHT THROUGH 
MOST OF SATURDAY. ATTENTION WILL QUICKLY TURN TOWARD THE WINTER STORM EXPECTED TO 
HIT THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL 
STRENGTHEN RAPIDLY AS IT SHIFTS NORTHEAST FROM ARKANSAS TO THE 
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE LOW WILL BRING 
AMPLE AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE INTO THE AREA AND LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL 
FOR HEAVY SNOW OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. WIDESPREAD 
AMOUNTS OF 6 TO 9 INCHES ARE EXPECTED WITH SOME AREAS POSSIBLY 
GETTING MORE. 
WE WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON THE FAR SOUTHEAST AS THERE IS SOME 
POTENTIAL FOR WARMER AIR TO BRIEFLY SNEAK INTO THAT 
AREA...BRINGING A WINTRY MIX FOR A TIME SATURDAY EVENING. THIS IS 
BY NO MEANS A CERTAINTY...BUT WOULD RESULT IN SOME LOWER SNOW 
ACCUMULATIONS THERE.

SUNDAY...

LATEST FORECASTS.
