Winter Storm Warning begins Friday afternoon

***WINTER STORM WARNING  2PM FRIDAY UNTIL 9PM SATURDAY FOR MOST OF SE WI***

 

The wind is finally calming down and while that has brought the wind chill values out of dangerous levels it is still quite chilly outside with temperatures only in the single digits.  Even with a lighter breeze it still feels like subzero single digits  and the sunshine is only making it look nice.  This evening the clouds will increase ahead of a warm front that will keep our temperatures above freezing but still in the single digits, those clouds will also bring some light snow and flurries mainly after 11pm that could produce up to a half inch of snow by the morning commute.

Friday will start out with a few flurries but then it will be warmer with temps climbing into the low 20s with a breeze at 10-15mph.  Snow will move in mainly after 1pm, increasing in intensity by the evening commute.  The heaviest snow will fall from 6pm through early Saturday morning with visibility being reduced during this time.  There will be a bit of a break in the action late morning but a cold front brings another round of through in the afternoon and evening hours to bring the grand storm total up to 6-11" of snow with the highest totals north of Milwaukee.
