More snow and rain expected
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
(MCT)
Saturday evening’s snow was expected to taper off by late Sunday morning in southeastern Wisconsin, but look for another storm system Monday night that will give a wet start to the week.
A winter storm warning was set to last until 10 a.m. today for the region. Temperatures Sunday and Monday probably will be lower than normal for this time of year. Monday evening likely will see a mix of rain, sleet and snow that will change to all rain Tuesday, said Chris Kuhlman, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Temperatures are expected to return to normal Tuesday, when they will climb into the mid-40s. The Milwaukee area will see about a quarter-inch of rain, with a slight chance of rain or snow Tuesday night.
The rest of the week, there’s a low chance of precipitation, with partly sunny skies Wednesday, a 30 percent chance of rain or snow Wednesday night and a 40% chance of precipitation Thursday.
Mitchell International Airport reported ice pellets at 5:50 p.m. Saturday, Kuhlman said.
The precipitation began with a mix of snow and sleet. The southeastern part of the state saw a bit of freezing rain that changed over to snow. Accumulations were expected to be about 9 to 12 inches in the southeast and 4 to 6 inches in Madison, Kuhlman said.

Meteorology is an inexact science. Meteorologists are just weather forecasters with a degree. I liken Meteorologists to players of my favorite sport, baseball. Where else can you be correct or do well only 30% of the time and still make fantastic money? (present corporate pariahs excluded).
If you want to know what the weather will be, get a barometer, a thermometer, a wind vane, an anemometer and the best of all, LOOK OUT THE WINDOW. JMO
Oh! Have a nice day. *s*

Good grief. It's like people weren't introduced to probability in school.

Uh, meteorologists get a bad rap. Have you tried forecasting the weather? Mother Nature has a mind of her own. She goes and does what she wants. Forecasting and predictions are not the black and white picture people expect. They do the best they can, which is awesome when they are up against an unknown!
