and last updated

EDITOR'S NOTE: This forecast information is outdated. Please see the latest information from Storm Team 4 in this article.

——-

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Racine, Kenosha, Washington, Ozaukee, Milwaukee, Sheboygan, and Waukesha Counties from noon Wednesday until 3 a.m. Thursday.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Walworth, Fond du Lac, Dodge, and Jefferson Counties from 9 a.m. Wednesday until 3 a.m. Thursday.

A panhandle hook storm is developing and will approach the Midwest by tomorrow. Recent computer model runs have indicated a weaker system that's tracking a little further south.

However, added lake enhancement will likely push total snow amounts over 6 inches for areas under the Winter Storm Warning. Lighter amounts are expected farther north and west.

A band of lake effect snow may develop early tomorrow morning, then snow from the actual system moves in after 9am. In general, the morning commute shouldn't be too bad, but the evening commute looks rough. Snow ends by early Thursday morning.

Watch: This is how much snow to expect Wednesday in southeast Wisconsin:
