Stormy weather will begin to develop Friday night as the Alberta clipper dives out of Canada and reaches the northern U.S., spreading a stripe of snow from Minnesota to Illinois during the day, though highs in the upper 30s may cause snow to struggle to accumulate in any significant fashion, AccuWeather reported.

Light accumulations are possible to the northeast of the Madison area, with the heaviest totals in northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and then northern Michigan, according to AccuWeather.

The National Weather Service said the probability of at least a trace of accumulation on Saturday is just 4% in Dodgeville, 22% in Madison, 33% in Waukesha, 42% in Milwaukee, 69% in Sheboygan, and 72% in Fond du Lac.

In Madison on Friday, look for mostly cloudy skies, a high near 32 and west winds at 5 to 10 miles per hour turning out of the south in the afternoon.

After an overnight low around 23, Saturday’s forecast features a 20% chance for snow after 9 a.m., mixing with rain after 10 a.m., cloudy skies gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 40 and south winds at 5 to 10 mph turning out of the northwest in the afternoon.

After a low overnight Saturday into Sunday around 27, Sunday should be mostly sunny, with a high near 37 and northwest winds at 10 to 15 mph.

The Weather Service predicts a warming trend next week with no chance for precipitation.

Skies over Madison should be partly sunny Monday through Wednesday and mostly sunny Thursday, with highs near 43, 42, 42 and 48, and lows Sunday night thought Wednesday night around 25, 28, 26 and 32.
