Issued at 1238 PM CST Tue Nov 3 2026 A slow moving low pressure system across northwest Missouri will make its wave into Minnesota/western Wisconsin late tonight, then into Ontario late Wednesday night. This system will bring periods of showers through Wednesday night. A few non-severe thunderstorms are possible later this afternoon and tonight.

Above normal temperatures to continue Wednesday and Thursday, then return closer to normal on Friday before above normal temperatures return for the weekend and continue through much of next week. Mainly dry conditions expected Friday through Tuesday. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1124 PM CST Tue Nov 3 2026 Poor flying conditions are expected through the TAF period. Despite a patch of VFR/MVFR conditions across far eastern Wisconsin, lower CIGs from southern Wisconsin are expected to advect northward within the next few hours. Low stratus will linger on in the region, with ceilings likely to remain IFR/LIFR at times overnight. Visibility will dip at times as well as on and off showers move through the region and patchy fog develops near the surface. Lightning and thunder continue to be too low in confidence to include in the current TAF cycle. CIGs may rise to MVFR across eastern Wisconsin during the day on Wednesday and may drop again to IFR/LIFR Wednesday evening while CIGs remain low across central and north-central Wisconsin. Winds are expected to diminish some overnight at the surface, but LLWS will be present at the eastern terminals just off the surface. Wind gusts then increase again during the day Wednesday, with gusts returning to around 15-20 knots at times thus ending the LLWS. Winds should be south to southeasterly through Wednesday. Surface winds will ease again Wednesday evening as they turn southwesterly. && .MARINE... Issued at 1238 PM CST Tue Nov 3 2026 A prolonged period of gusty south to southeast winds and large waves on Lake Michigan will continue into Wednesday. A Small Craft Advisory remains in for the Lake Michigan nearshore waters through Wednesday evening. Gusty winds on the bay should subside late this afternoon where a Small Craft Advisory is in effect until 6 PM. Later tonight, will need to monitor for fog as dewpoints in the lower to middle 60s are moving over the bay and lake where water temps are in the 50s. Also, winds should ease later tonight to help for the formation of fog. Otherwise, Winds will shift to the north on Thursday, possibly gusting to near 25 kts as the system departs to the east. Additional marine headlines may be needed for this period. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....Eckberg AVIATION.......Kurimski MARINE.........Eckberg

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About Candy Mountain Ski Area

Where does the snow data for Candy Mountain Ski Area come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at Candy Mountain Ski Area?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

What ski resorts are near Candy Mountain Ski Area?

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.

Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?

Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
