Issued at 158 AM CDT Mon Sep 14 2026 Forecast for a a round or two of heavy rain this afternoon through Tuesday morning remains on track. A strong low pressure system is evident on WV imagery over the northern Rockies early this morning. This system will progress east into the northern Plains today with strengthening southerly flow ahead of the low drawing seasonally high moisture into the region. Expect rain to initially push into central WI during the early afternoon, however, the exact timing for the onset of precipitation remains somewhat uncertain as forecast soundings do show dry air in the low-levels that will need to be overcome. This initial round will likely be light to moderate widespread rain that spreads across the area by afternoon. A second round of rain is then expected beginning this evenings over central WI as a strong LLJ pushes noises into the region. This second round is expected to bring a more focused area of moderate to heavy rain to central and east- central WI late this evening and overnight. Between these two rounds of rain HREF LPMM 24hr rainfall totals show a corridor of 2-3" totals south of a line from Wausau to Sturgeon Bay with 0.5 to 1" north of that line. The exact placement of this higher end corridor may still shift north or south slightly. A few embedded thunderstorms are possible with this system, but weak instability keeps the severe threat low. Rain will come to an end from west to east Tuesday morning high pressure them bringing dry conditions for the remains of Tuesday and much of Wednesday. For the remainder of the week a baroclinic zone is expected set up over or just south of the forecast area. This will keep a 40-70% chance for showers and occasional thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon through next weekend, however, it will likely not rain that entire period.

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 Sunburst Ski Area

Where does the snow data for Sunburst 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 Sunburst 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 Sunburst 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.
