Wisconsin – Snowflakes drift through dim streetlights this morning as mist hangs low over southeast Wisconsin. Pavement looks wet but hides slick patches, especially where light snow continues to fall and temperatures stay locked in the low 20s.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee, light snow is likely early this morning for areas along and east of a line from Fond du Lac to Waukesha and Burlington. Accumulations remain minor, generally a trace to 1 inch, but visibility may drop at times, especially near Lake Michigan. Temperatures hovered near 21°F before sunrise with fog and mist reported at Mitchell International Airport.
The main concern is timing. Snow tapers as the morning progresses, but untreated roads, bridges, and on-ramps may stay slick well after flakes end. Drivers along I-94, I-43, and Highway 41 should plan extra braking distance during the early commute.
Clouds dominate the rest of the day. Highs struggle to reach the upper 20s, limiting melting. Tonight stays cold, with lows near 21°F, allowing any daytime moisture to refreeze quickly.
Conditions improve gradually Monday. Clouds linger, but highs rebound into the upper 30s, offering a brief thaw. Tuesday turns partly sunny with highs near 38°F before colder air slips back in Tuesday night.
Looking ahead, the pattern quiets down. No significant hazards are expected through midweek, though February stays active. Additional light snow chances return later in the week as weak systems pass through the Great Lakes. Beyond that, signals into the 6–10 day window hint at a slow warming trend, though true spring remains distant with lakes still heavily frozen.
For now, slow down early, watch shaded roads, and stay alert for changing visibility. Seeing snow stick where you are? Let us know what conditions look like in your neighborhood.
