Brief Warmup Peaks Saturday Before Quick Light Snow and Colder Sunday Across the Midwest and Northeast

Most forecasts call for minor, fast‑moving snow with limited disruption.

Overview

  • Temperatures reached the 40s and 50s Saturday for many areas, with some Midwest spots near 60 on Friday, before a cold front ends the springlike feel.
  • A fast clipper late Saturday into Sunday brings light snow or flurries for many, with typical totals from a coating to 1–2 inches and mainly minor travel effects.
  • Southern Wisconsin is forecast for 1–2 inches Saturday with localized 2–4 inches north and west of Madison, while Metro Detroit is near 1 inch with some slick early travel.
  • Chicago forecasters now favor little to no weekend snow in the city as Saturday’s snow targets Wisconsin and any Sunday snow stays south.
  • Early next week, Monday’s system looks weaker or farther south with only spotty snow, while a stronger, warmer Tuesday storm could start as snow then change to ice and rain as a milder, wetter pattern returns midweek.
