Highs in the 30s Wednesday before snow begins to moves in

Snow spreads across the state Wednesday night and continues through Thursday. It is still unclear whether the snow will continue Friday or end for us here in SE Wisconsin.

Tonight will be quiet and clear, but chilly. Low temperatures fall to around 10 degrees lakeside and near zero inland. Clouds thicken up tomorrow, but any snow should hold off until tomorrow night.

We are still tracking a big winter storm expected to affect the entire Great Lakes Region. Snow spreads across the state Wednesday night and continues through Thursday. It is still unclear whether the snow will continue Friday or end for us here in SE Wisconsin. One thing that's certain is the high wind. We could have winds gusting over 50 mph Friday morning, which would create blizzard conditions. I still think the worst time to travel is Friday morning.

Blizzard conditions are possible. Winds could gust as high as 50 mph. Portions of east-central, south-central, and southeast Wisconsin are expected to see snow Thursday morning through late Friday night. Travel could be difficult to impossible.
