Winter Weather Advisory as Lake-Effect Snow Targets Southeast Wisconsin Overnight

Small shifts in the band’s track could mean a dusting inland or shovelable snow at the shoreline.

Overview

  • A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 7 p.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday for Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha counties.
  • The narrow band is expected to hug the Lake Michigan shore, with 2 to 5 inches likely and locally up to about a half-foot where the band lingers.
  • The most likely window for snow along the lakeshore is roughly 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., with snow tapering early Monday and slick spots possible for the morning commute.
  • Forecasters stress high uncertainty because the band may stay over the lake or move inland; advisories could be upgraded if heavy snow persists over land.
  • More significant impacts are forecast in northern Illinois and northwest Indiana, and NWS Chicago advises avoiding travel in affected Chicago-area locations.
