WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) - Happy gun deer hunting opener weekend! A starlit sky and chilly Saturday night, while a good deal of sun on tap for Sunday. Clouds will roll back in on Monday. The next weather maker tracking through the Midwest is expected to stay to the south of the Badger State on Tuesday, while a cold front crossing the state might spark rain/snow showers. Chilly Wednesday, Thanksgiving, and Black Friday with temps late week struggling to make it above the freezing mark. We are monitoring the next weather maker that could cause flakes to fly going into next weekend.

A bright end to the weekend. Rain/snow showers possible Tuesday. Chilly mid to late week....

More clouds than sun Monday with highs in the mid 40s. As alluded to, the next storm system traversing the Midwest is forecast to take a path far enough south and east to not have a direct impact on the Badger State. Things might still change, but we are going to stay on the cooler side of this late fall storm system. Instead of worrying about that wave of low pressure, there will be a cold front shifting east across the state. This will spark scattered rain/snow showers on Tuesday. Any snowfall accumulations are expected to be minimal, with perhaps lake effect snow kicking in across the far north in the snow belts on Wednesday. If that takes place, then some snowfall could accumulate. Otherwise, chilly for Tuesday, with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. Partly cloudy on Wednesday, with highs in the upper 30s.

Dry with clouds Monday, rain/snow showers possible Tuesday, while some sun Wednesday.
