Justin Liles: Snow ends tonight and warmer temperatures return
WDIO
Our first snowfall of the season is rolling through the region and early reports as of 4pm indicate Sandstone and the Hinckley areas have received 4” of more of snow. The head of the lake, northern Wisconsin, and east central Minnesota are still under a Winter Weather Advisory until later this evening. Snowfall totals are still all over by the time it is done, but northern Wisconsin should end up with the most.
After a first taste of winter for much of northwest Wisconsin and into northeast Minnesota temperatures will warm back up across the region into the upper 40s and lower 50s this weekend. Friday will be mostly sunny across the region with temperatures in the 40s. Temperatures will stay pretty consistent through the weekend with showers returning late Saturday into Sunday.
