Overnight lows have fallen into the teens across southeast Wisconsin. A breezy northwest wind is generating wind chills in the single digits and even below zero.
Some sunshine kicks off the day, but cloud cover grows as a round of snow showers moves in from the west. Light snow will overspread southern Wisconsin late this afternoon and evening. The best chance for accumulating snow rolls in after 7 p.m.
Scattered snow showers continue overnight. This kicks off a long-duration snow/flurry event for the weekend. This first round of snow will be the most substantial, delivering 1 to 2 inches of snowfall for much of the area. Some freezing drizzle may mix in as well. A few slick spots are possible late tonight and into early tomorrow morning. Additional flurries are expected throughout the weekend and may lead to another half-inch of accumulation over this time period.
Cold air will be reinforced over the weekend with a series of arctic fronts. Highs will only top out in the teens. Morning lows will hover in the single digits and may even dip below zero in a few spots.
