Light snow on the way for Saturday

 

Our first widespread snow in weeks arrives across southeast Wisconsin on Saturday. Earlier in the week the snow totals looked more impressive but as the storm track has shifted north it only looks like most of southeast Wisconsin gets light snow. The snow will start Saturday morning and continue through the afternoon before wrapping up in the evening. 

Northern counties will likely see the most snow and the highest snow totals with 1-4" expected. Highest totals are likely in Fond du Lac and Sheboygan Counties then we get a tight gradient as snow totals decrease closer to 1" north of Waukesha and Milwaukee over the course of just 20 miles or so. Southern counties will only see a few tenths of a inch up to 1" of new snow.

If you are looking for more snow you have to head into the northern half of the state. A Winter Weather Advisory, shown in purple, and Winter Storm Watch, shown in blue, have been issued for central and northern Wisconsin where 4-8" of snow is likely. 

After the snow on Saturday, sunshine quickly returns for Sunday but temperatures drop a bit into the 20s.
