Milwaukee, Wisconsin – A narrow band of snow is expected to move across southeast Wisconsin overnight, potentially affecting early Sunday morning travel.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, snow is expected primarily east of a line from Wisconsin Dells to Janesville, with the most concentrated snowfall occurring within a narrow band as it shifts east.
Forecasters say snowfall rates within the band could reach up to 1 inch per hour, which may briefly reduce visibility as the snow moves through. Total snow accumulation is expected to range from around 1 to 2 inches, though amounts could vary depending on how long the snow band persists over any given location.
The National Weather Service noted that the snow band is expected to push out of the area between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m., placing the potential impacts near the start of the Sunday morning commute. Light snow accumulations are expected overall, but roads could become slick in areas where snowfall is heavier.
The affected region includes much of southeast Wisconsin, particularly communities east of the Wisconsin Dells–Janesville line. Motorists traveling early Sunday are encouraged to allow extra time and remain alert for changing road conditions.
The Weather Service emphasized that the snow will be moderate to heavy in character within the band, despite relatively modest total accumulation amounts.
This timing may be especially relevant for early-shift workers, students, and commuters traveling during the early morning hours.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and road conditions as the snow band progresses eastward overnight.
