Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Southeastern Wisconsin could see its first flakes of the season late Saturday as rain transitions to light snow, according to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan. While forecasters say snow accumulation will be minimal, a narrow band of light accumulation is possible between southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.
According to the National Weather Service, the switch from rain to snow is expected Saturday night as temperatures cool, though the timing and placement of any measurable snow remain uncertain. Forecasters noted that warm ground conditions should prevent most accumulation from sticking, keeping roads mainly wet rather than icy.
Residents in Milwaukee, Madison, and surrounding counties should stay alert for quick changes in conditions, especially during the evening commute and overnight hours. Drivers are advised to watch for slick spots on bridges and overpasses if temperatures drop faster than expected.
Meteorologists emphasize that details could change as Saturday approaches, with updated forecasts available through the weekend.
Warnings remain in effect for a possible rain-to-snow transition Saturday night.
