Overnight skies will be mainly cloudy with lows in the 20s.
Monday will be a mainly cloudy day with highs in the upper 30s. A few lake-effect snow showers will be possible late in the day north of Milwaukee, mainly near Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties. Light accumulations are possible.
Then our chance of snow ramps up on Tuesday. By the Tuesday morning commute, much of the area is expected to be seeing light snow, with some rain possibly mixing in near the lakeshore. As highs warm to near 40 Tuesday afternoon, a few more rain showers may mix in with the snow. Farther inland, there's a better chance of seeing primarily snow, but it will be a heavy, wet snow. In total, 1-2" of snow looks likely.
Snow continues into Wednesday, with some rain mixing in. Up to an additional inch of snow looks possible. Thursday, we see a few more light snow showers, with potential for an additional half inch.
This event will bring some travel impacts Tuesday-Wednesday. Easterly winds off of Lake Michigan could lead to lake-enhanced snow showers and drum up slightly higher totals for our northern counties. In addition to snow here, snow showers will impact much of the Midwest, so if you have travel plans this week, be sure to plan accordingly.
Early season snowfall events can be tricky with many factors playing into snow totals. That said, at this point we are expecting 1-3" of snowfall. Higher totals are not out of the question - especially if lake enhancement pans out.
Another cold blast arrives late week, meaning highs Friday and Saturday are only in the 20s with overnight lows in the teens.
