...SNOW WILL RESULT IN RAPIDLY DETERIORATING TRAVEL CONDITIONS
THIS MORNING...
Scattered snow flurries developed across the area overnight, and
will continue for the early morning hours. A much more significant
band of snow will sweep east across Wisconsin during the morning
hours. The snow band will overspread central and north-central
Wisconsin between 500 am and 700 am, and eastern Wisconsin between
700 am and 900 am. The intensity of the snowfall will increase
fairly quickly once it begins. That combined with temperatures
still well below freezing and increasingly gusty south winds will
likely result in rapidly deteriorating travel conditions.
Motorists should be prepared for hazardous travel conditions for
the morning commute. Be sure to allow extra travel time so you can
reach your destination safely.
Gusty west winds to around 30 mph are likely to produce some
blowing and drifting of the snow during the mid-day hours.
However, temperatures across portions of central and east-central
Wisconsin are forecast to warm above freezing during the afternoon.
Once that occurs, the blowing and drifting will be greatly
reduced.
