Wisconsin – Light snowflakes begin mixing into the cold air by midday, dusting parts of Milwaukee and creating slick patches on untreated roads as temperatures hover near freezing. Winds continue to push across the lakefront, adding a biting edge to the air.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee, scattered snow showers develop through the afternoon, with minor accumulations under a half inch possible, especially east of I-41 toward Sheboygan . Northeast winds gusting near 30 mph will keep wind chills in the teens, making it feel significantly colder than the thermometer suggests.
Roads may turn briefly slushy during heavier bursts of snow. Drivers along I-94 and I-43 should plan for reduced visibility and quick changes in road conditions. Allow extra stopping distance and watch for slick bridges.
Conditions stabilize later as clouds break and winds ease. Temperatures dip into the mid-20s, and any leftover moisture could refreeze, increasing the risk of patchy ice by early Saturday.
The weekend brings a noticeable shift. Saturday climbs into the mid-40s with increasing clouds, followed by a stronger warm-up Sunday. Highs reach the low 60s, offering a much milder feel across southeast Wisconsin.
Looking ahead to Monday night, rain chances return with possible thunderstorms into midweek, signaling a more active spring pattern.
