Milwaukee residents may need to swap roses for snow shovels this Valentine’s Day as a winter storm moves in Friday. Snowfall will begin in the afternoon, intensifying overnight with accumulations of 3 to 5 inches by Saturday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, strong winds up to 15 mph will reduce visibility, making travel difficult on highways, including I-94 and I-43. Temperatures will stay below freezing all weekend, with a high of 30°F Saturday and lows dropping to single digits Sunday.
Saturday will see lingering snow showers, but conditions should clear by Sunday, though it will remain bitterly cold. Valentine’s Day celebrations may need to be cozy indoors, as wind chills could make outdoor plans uncomfortable.
Drivers should prepare for slippery roads, and residents are advised to check weather updates and allow extra time for travel. Snow removal crews will be working throughout the weekend to keep roads as clear as possible.
Stay safe, bundle up, and enjoy a wintery Valentine’s weekend in Milwaukee!
