Milwaukee, WI – Drivers across Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties are being urged to take it slow Saturday evening as a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 8 p.m., with accumulating snow creating slick road conditions across southeast Wisconsin.
According to the US National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan office, the advisory was expanded at 4:30 p.m. Saturday to include both counties. Forecasters expect total snowfall accumulations between 2 and 4 inches, with locally higher amounts possible before the system tapers off later this evening.
Snow-covered highways and reduced visibility have already been reported in parts of the Milwaukee metro area, including Brookfield and Lake Mills. Road cameras show steady snowfall impacting travel during the evening commute.
The advisory includes Milwaukee County, home to Milwaukee, and neighboring Ozaukee County, just north of the city along Lake Michigan. Officials warn that untreated roads, bridges and overpasses may become slippery as temperatures hover near freezing.
Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time, maintain safe following distances and be prepared for sudden slowdowns. Conditions are expected to gradually improve after 8 p.m. as snowfall moves out of the region.
Commuters traveling along I-43, I-94 and surrounding state highways should remain alert for changing road conditions through early evening.
