The busiest travel day of the year is here and Wisconsin weather is not cooperating. We have multiple advisories and warnings across the state Wednesday. A winter weather advisory is in effect until 6 PM Wednesday for our northern half of counties including Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, Dodge, Washington and Ozaukee Counties. These are the areas most likely to get 1-3" of snow with strong wind causing blowing and drifting snow. 

In addition, a wind advisory is in place for all of southeast Wisconsin, and most of the state, until 6 PM. Wind gusts could reach 50 mph during the day Wednesday.

If your Thanksgiving travels take you into northern Wisconsin or to the northwest towards Minneapolis the weather will get worse. More snow is expected, and especially in the open farmland near blizzard conditions are possible. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect towards Minnesota and a Blizzard Warning is in effect for far northern Wisconsin. 

The snow showers are already falling as of early Wednesday morning and likely stay with us most of the day. The snow wraps up by 7 PM in most areas Wednesday. Some of the snow could come down in heavier bursts at times. Given the scattered nature of the snow, some dry time is also possible and roads should stay in decent shape besides the blowing in open areas. 

Here is a radar image that will update with time:

Snow totals haven't changed too much from what we showed you Tuesday with the best chance for over 1" north of I-94 where up to 3" is possible. Right along the I-94 corridor from Madison to Milwaukee could get around an inch with just less than that number in our southern counties. 

Wind gusts will whip all day long Wednesday as they turn to the northwest and gust from 25-50 mph. Even though no wind advisory is in place for Thanksgiving Day it's still going to be windy with gusts to 40 mph. Thankfully by Black Friday the wind becomes much lighter from 5-15 mph.

All of that wind will cause some very cold wind chills as temperatures drop. Feels like temps will drop into the teens by Wednesday afternoon. If you are doing a "Turkey Trot" Thanksgiving morning it is going to be COLD with wind chills in the single digits in most areas. Thursday afternoon the wind chills stay in the teens. Friday morning will stay have very cold wind chills for early shoppers but as the wind lightens up during the day Friday the wind chills will warm into the low 20s.
