...WINTER STORM BEGINS TONIGHT AND CONTINUES THROUGH MONDAY...
.A strong late winter storm system is expected to impact southern
Wisconsin during the last half of the weekend in 3 phases:
Saturday night into Sunday morning expecting snow accumulations of 1
to 3 inches and the potential for around a tenth of an inch of ice
accumulation.
Sunday late morning into Sunday afternoon will see milder temps and
mostly rain with a few thunderstorms.
Late Sunday evening through Monday expect heavy banded snow to
impact southern WI with snowfall totals from 5 to 9 inches with
locally higher amounts possible. Wind gusts up to 45 mph will cause
blowing snow and visibility restrictions.
Hazardous travel is expected during both headline time frames.

7 inches possible. A light glaze of ice may occur. Winds could
gust as high as 45 mph causing blowing snow and visibility
restrictions.
* WHERE...Portions of south central and southeast Wisconsin.
* WHEN...From Sunday afternoon through Monday evening.
* IMPACTS...Visibilities may drop below 1/4 mile due to falling and
blowing snow. The strong winds and weight of snow on tree limbs

impact the Monday morning and evening commutes. Gusty winds could
bring down tree branches.
