***A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED AREA WIDE IN ADVANCE OF TUESDAY'S SNOW. ON TUESDAY, ACCUMULATING HEAVY, WET SNOW WILL FALL, MAKING TRAVEL DIFFICULT.***
Storm Team 4 continues to monitor a Winter Storm set to impact Wisconsin late Monday through early Wednesday.
Sunday night into Monday will be quiet and cloudy. Lows overnight will be around 30-degrees, and highs Monday will be a few degrees above freezing. Monday will be a good day to prepare ahead of Tuesday's snow. Make sure you have a shovel or gas for your snow blower, and your winter car kit stocked and ready.
Snow showers begin overnight Monday into early Tuesday morning, with the most impactful snow reaching SE Wisconsin Tuesday morning and afternoon. This will certainly slow down the Tuesday morning commute! Snow will continue to fall through Tuesday night, wrapping up by early Wednesday morning. Lakeside locations may be influenced by warmer surface temps and the relatively warm waters of Lake Michigan (42°), creating more of a rain/snow mix for eastern Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha counties.
As far as snow totals, much of the area looks to pick up 5-9" of snowfall. However, near Lake Michigan those totals are expected to be lower, more in the 2-5" range. We do still have another day to watch for slight shifts in the low-pressure track, which could mean a change to overall totals. Additionally, we will be watching the high-resolution models to get an even better idea of how the lake will influence overall snow amounts.
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. Then yet another round of snow looks possible Friday into Saturday, but this is still a way out and the forecast may change. It does appear that temperatures will be cooler late week into next weekend.
