Milwaukee, WI – Rain and lingering thunderstorms are expected to transition to wet, slushy snow across southern Wisconsin this evening, potentially impacting travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan, the rain/snow line is pushing eastward as temperatures fall near the freezing mark. A brief period of sleet may also accompany this transition. Snowfall rates could reach up to 1 inch per hour in heavier bands, leading to snow-covered and slick roads.
Drivers are urged to slow down and use caution while traveling tonight, as the combination of wet snow and dropping temperatures may create hazardous conditions. The snowfall is expected to continue moving eastward through the evening, affecting major roadways, including I-90 and I-94.
Motorists should monitor weather updates and allow extra time for travel as road conditions may deteriorate quickly. Snowfall intensity will likely ease overnight, but lingering icy patches could impact the morning commute.
