The National Weather Service in Milwaukee cautions that light snowfall will continue to impact traffic and travel into the morning. According to the latest update, an additional snow accumulation of up to half an inch is expected. The NWS advisory specifically names the areas of Jefferson, Waukesha, Milwaukee, Walworth, Racine, and Kenosha, advising residents to remain vigilant for slippery road conditions until 8 AM CST this morning.
Commuters should prepare for a slow and possibly disrupted journey as the roads are likely to be snow-covered and slippery. To add further complexity, the National Weather Service's Hazardous Weather Outlook forecasts additional rounds of snowfall which are set to make their entrance Monday night into Tuesday. These conditions are expected to mix with rain, potentially creating more hazardous travel conditions given the already cold road temperatures that can fast turn wet surfaces to ice.
Residents of southeast Wisconsin should plan ahead as the advisory firmly stresses the impact: "Plan on slippery road conditions." Motorists are urged to slow down and exercise caution over the next several days. In conjunction with this announcement, as the sky is forecasted to clear up later today, the temperature is predicted to hover around a high of 22°F with North winds at 10 to 15 mph. Looking ahead, tonight will bring a 50 percent chance of snow, mainly before 2 AM, while maintaining mostly cloudy skies and a low around 13°F.
The week doesn't promise much respite, with temperatures expected to struggle to reach the mid-30s at their peak. Weather patterns suggest a mix of rain and snow is possible after Tuesday noon, forecasting a 90 percent chance of precipitation Tuesday night. There seems to be just no stopping the flurry, with snow chances persisting into the weekend. "Additional rounds of snowfall are then possible through the end of the work week," warned the NWS advisory. Notably, precise timings of these rounds are not currently pinned down, leaving commuters to prepare for the unforeseen.
