Full Notification

Snow will begin spreading across southern Wisconsin Friday afternoon, continue through Friday night, then taper off quickly from west to east by Saturday morning. In addition, we should see a band of lake effect snow produce higher amounts of snow for far southeast Wisconsin. The period of heaviest snow is expected Friday evening into the early morning hours on Saturday, possibly lingering longer due to the lake effect influence. Higher snowfall amounts will occur south and west of Wisconsin, so if you plan on travel into these areas be prepared for slow and difficult conditions. Snow amounts of around 6 inches are expected in the Winter Storm Watch areas, with amounts diminishing quickly to the north. Brisk northeast winds of 15 to 20 mph will cause some blowing and drifting snow.
