Milwaukee Commuters Navigate Snow and Wind as Winter Weather Advisory Takes Effect

Residents in Milwaukee awoke to winter conditions Thursday morning as the National Weather Service issued a “Wind Advisory” in addition to a “Winter Weather Advisory.” Two to four inches of snow were predicted, with local totals around the Kettle Moraine reaching up to five inches. The National Weather Service issued these advisories to alert commuters of windy and snowy weather.

Gusty winds are expected until 6 PM CST, and a snow advisory is in effect until midday. Visibility may be hampered by snowfall and wind gusts of up to 45 mph, particularly during the morning commute. “Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous.” According to the National Weather Service, tree branches may potentially fall due to gusty winds.

By lunchtime, the snow was predicted to mix with rain, and as the temperature rose in the afternoon, it was predicted to shift to rain. But the worst danger was in the early hours of the day. “Be ready for slick roads,” the National Weather Service said. In order to minimize accidents, drivers were advised to slow down and use caution when driving, and pedestrians were cautioned to keep an eye out for slippery patches on driveways and walkways.

According to the “Hazardous Weather Outlook” published by the National Weather Service, the terrible weather is expected to end soon. The forecast calls for a return to cooler autumnal temperatures in Milwaukee from Friday through Wednesday, with no dangerous weather predicted. According to the prediction, temperatures will primarily be in the 30s and 40s with a mix of cloudy and occasionally clear skies. According to the National Weather Service, local authorities are probably depending on winter preparations to help handle any weather-related disruptions.
