Milwaukee, WI – Snow will move into Wisconsin Sunday afternoon before transitioning to freezing rain early Monday, creating hazardous travel conditions. Roads across Milwaukee, Madison, and surrounding areas could become slick, especially during the Monday morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service, light to moderate snow will begin Sunday evening, with accumulations of 1 to 3 inches expected before warmer air moves in overnight. By early Monday, freezing rain will develop, leading to potential ice buildup on roads and sidewalks. Wind gusts up to 25 mph could worsen conditions, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of power outages.
Drivers should plan for delays on major roadways, including I-94 and I-43, as untreated surfaces may become treacherous. Commuters are advised to allow extra time and consider alternative routes if icy conditions persist.
The five-day forecast shows temperatures fluctuating as Wisconsin transitions into early spring. After Monday’s wintry mix, Tuesday will be cloudy with highs in the mid-30s. By Wednesday, sunshine returns, bringing temperatures near 40°F, though another system could bring rain by late Thursday.
Residents should stay updated on weather alerts and prepare for shifting conditions by keeping emergency kits and ice melt on hand. The National Weather Service recommends monitoring forecasts closely, as conditions may change rapidly.
