Residents of southeast Wisconsin are preparing for the season’s first major snowfall as the chill of winter sets in. The National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan says that today will be overcast with a high of almost 45 degrees. However, there is a 40% chance of rain this afternoon, and by nighttime, there is a 50% probability of precipitation, which will change to snow showers.
Due to “wet snow expected,” commuters can anticipate possibly dangerous circumstances on Thursday morning. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory, predicting total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches. The morning commute will probably be impacted by the advisory’s warning to “plan on reduced visibility and slippery road conditions due to slushy accumulations”. In fact, Thursday’s travel is expected to be impacted by bands of moderate to heavy snowfall. With temperatures hovering around freezing, the weather is predicted to alternate intermittently between snow and rain and back again before gradually turning entirely to rain as the day goes on.
For this reason, the National Weather Service has recommended that passengers “slow down and use caution while traveling.” The administration has also urged locals to phone the special helpline at 5 1 1 for updates and has offered information on how to access the most recent road conditions. Slushy roads and visibility problems have taken front stage in warnings, with clear effects on Thursday morning travel anticipated.
According to National Weather Service projections, there will likely be a combination of rain and snow showers before 1 am tonight, with the possibility of snow showers after 5 am. Ten miles of visibility is predicted, and with wind chills of 38 degrees Fahrenheit, the windy conditions—which include forecast gusts of up to 30 mph and 10 to 15 mph—could swiftly turn wet and snowy roadways into dangerous routes. Although spotter activation is not recommended by the Hazardous Weather Outlook, local homeowners’ snowfall readings on Thursday morning might be helpful in determining the intensity of the event.
With a combination of overcast and partly sunny skies and a persistent threat of showers, the unpredictable weather pattern is predicted to persist for the duration of the week for Wisconsin residents. For any changes to forecasts or weather advisories, residents should be vigilant and keep an eye on the National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan’s weather updates.
