Good news, Wisconsin! Latest data is showing that the incoming snow storm is tracking more and more south, meaning the anticipated snow levels for southeastern Wisconsin are dropping.
The National Weather Service has already cancelled a planned Winter Storm Watch for our area.
Storm Team 4 Meteorologist Brian Niznansky says models are agreeing that heavy snow will miss our area and instead fall across northern Illinois. So, take that, Illinois.
********BIG CHANGES IN SNOW FORECAST******* Storm track is shifting way south. Milwaukee will be lucky to see a couple inches. Locations near state line may still see significant amounts, but may trend even farther south. #wiwx #weather pic.twitter.com/Y34gk0GY1U

Still, we are looking at around 1 to 3 inches of snow for the Milwaukee area. That is down from the initial 5 to 8 inches we were looking at.
As for now, Winter Storm Watches are in effect for Walworth, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties from 12 p.m. Tuesday until 3 p.m. Wednesday.
