Milwaukee, WI – Snow showers and gusty winds are set to sweep across southeastern Wisconsin on Wednesday, bringing potential travel disruptions. Motorists should prepare for reduced visibility and slippery road conditions, particularly on major routes like I-94.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee, scattered snow showers will begin in the afternoon and linger into the evening. While snow accumulation is expected to remain under an inch, sudden bursts of low visibility could create hazardous driving conditions. Winds from the west-northwest could reach gusts of up to 30 mph, compounding the challenges for drivers.
Early Wednesday morning will bring overcast skies with temperatures around 45°F. By the afternoon, the chance of precipitation increases to 70%, and the snow showers are likely to develop. These conditions are expected to continue into Thursday morning, with stronger winds and a high near 38°F.
Thursday’s forecast also warns of slick roads as temperatures dip into the low 30s overnight. Winds will remain brisk, creating wind chills and potential icy patches on untreated surfaces. By Friday, conditions are expected to improve slightly with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 47°F.
Drivers are urged to slow down, maintain extra distance from other vehicles, and allow additional travel time, especially during Wednesday evening’s commute. Pedestrians should also exercise caution, as sidewalks may become slippery in spots.
