***A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL OF SE WI FROM 9PM TONIGHT TO 6AM TUESDAY. DURING THIS TIME, LIGHT SNOW WILL FALL AND WINDS WILL START TO PICK UP.***
***A WINTER STORM WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL OF SE WI FROM 6AM TUESDAY UNTIL 3 AM WEDNESDAY. THIS IS THE TIMEFRAME FOR THE MOST IMPACTFUL, HEAVY SNOW, ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS.***
A strong low-pressure system will bring winter storm conditions to southeast Wisconsin late Monday night through Wednesday morning.
After 10 pm Monday night, light snow showers will move into SE WI. Some rain will mix in near the lake due to relatively warm Lake Michigan water temperatures. Winds will start to pick up overnight as well.
Snow will pick up in intensity throughout the day on Tuesday. Right along the Lake Michigan shoreline, some rain will mix in, creating a messy, slushy wintry mix. Snow will linger into Tuesday night before wrapping up early Wednesday morning.
The latest snowfall forecast still calls for most of the area to pick up 5-10" of snowfall. The exception will be closer to the lake where 2-5" of snow is expected. Lakeside snow totals remain the biggest question mark with this system. It may turn out to be a very sharp drop off in snow totals, with only a few miles separating the heaviest snow totals and much lower ones.
Area wide, this looks to be a heavy and wet snow; use caution while shoveling and take frequent breaks. Be sure to think of plans for outdoor pets and secure any loose outdoor objects or holiday decorations. Those with travel plans on Tuesday should consider adjusting those plans.
Another round of light snow looks likely from late Wednesday into Thursday morning. Then yet another round of snow looks possible Friday into Saturday. Temperatures will be much cooler late week into next weekend.
