Milwaukee, WI – A winter weather advisory is in effect for southern Wisconsin this evening as a burst of heavy snow moves through. The storm will create hazardous travel conditions, especially during the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service, snowfall will intensify between 4 PM and 11 PM, with rates reaching up to 1 inch per hour. The heaviest snow is expected in central Wisconsin, where visibility could drop quickly. Lighter snowfall will continue into Saturday morning.
Drivers should increase following distances and prepare for slick roads. Snow-covered surfaces and reduced visibility will make travel dangerous, particularly along the I-94 corridor. Wind gusts could further impact road conditions.

Travelers should check road conditions before heading out and allow extra time. The storm’s intensity could change quickly, creating sudden whiteout conditions. Stay updated with local forecasts and use caution if driving tonight.
