Synopsis: Good Thursday morning! We are tracking some rains across Wisconsin along with some left over snow showers across northern Minnesota. These will push off to the northeast throughout the day today. Beyond this system, some dry time is expected Friday and Saturday thanks to high pressure. Our next system will bring rain and even some wet snow to the eastern half of the forecast area Sunday into Monday. Beyond this, drier times are expected for much of next week with temperatures largely below normal. This regime likely last into week 2 as well.
