Wisconsin – Light snow bursts are already beginning to cut visibility across parts of eastern and central Wisconsin, and conditions could shift quickly by late afternoon. Brief snow showers may reduce visibility to under a mile at times, especially during the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee, scattered snow showers will develop through the afternoon, with gusty northwest winds reaching 25 mph. These bursts could create quick changes in road conditions, particularly on I-94 and I-43 where visibility may drop suddenly.
Temperatures hover near 45°F today, but colder air settles in quickly. By late evening, readings fall into the low 20s, allowing wet pavement to refreeze. That raises the risk for isolated slick spots on bridges and overpasses. Drivers should slow down and allow extra stopping distance.
Across central Wisconsin, the concern extends beyond snow. Rivers including the Baraboo and lower Fox remain elevated, with minor flooding ongoing. Water levels may continue rising into midweek, especially near Portage and Reedsburg.
By Tuesday, conditions briefly improve with sunshine and highs near 35°F. However, a mix of rain and snow could return early Wednesday before a stronger warm-up pushes temperatures to 58°F. Rain becomes more widespread Wednesday night into Thursday, with a 50–60% chance of showers and wet roads likely during peak travel hours.
Expect changing conditions through midweek as winter briefly pushes back before spring regains control. Stay alert on the roads and monitor river levels if you live near flood-prone areas. What are conditions like in your area right now?
