The National Weather Service in Milwaukee has issued alerts and advisories as winter weather continues. On Saturday morning, people woke up to snowy streets and cold temperatures. Snow is still falling, making the city look wintry while reminding residents to bundle up and take extra care in the cold, according to the National Weather Service.
A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 9 AM CST, as the National Weather Service cautions against tricky travel conditions on roads "especially bridges and overpasses, will likely be slick and hazardous," not to mention snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches that adds another layer of challenge for the morning traffic—the city's pulse slows down, it seems, with every additional inch that blankets its highways and byways.
In the mix of today's weather havoc, Snow is expected to taper off post-10 pm, though not bowing out gracefully; a new round is queued up for Sunday afternoon. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is expected to be mostly sunny but very cold, with a high around 7 degrees. West winds of 15 to 20 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph, will make it feel even colder. Later in the week, there will be occasional chances of snow as residents continue to adjust to changing winter weather.
Residents and visitors should check the National Weather Service website for the latest weather updates and advisories. Be ready to change travel plans as needed, since January weather in Milwaukee can change quickly and bring more snow.
