Steady snow for the Friday morning commute then more snow possible the rest of the weekend

We are waking up to steady snow on this Friday morning. The second batch of snow is currently moving through after the first one moved in from 7 PM - 12 AM on Thursday. That first batch dropped about a half inch of snow in most communities. The Friday morning steady snow will stay with us through the morning commute causing a slow start to the day on the roads with plenty of crashes.

Here is a radar image that will update with time:

The round of snow in the morning should wrap up by 10 AM with a lull in the snow activity expected through early afternoon. Then a few bursts of snow will be possible Friday afternoon and evening. There is some concern for snow squalls during that time where visibility drops rapidly causing quickly deteriorating road conditions.

An additional half inch to 2" of snow will be possible through midnight Friday night. Most of that will fall during the steady snow we are seeing Friday morning but any bursts of snow possible in the afternoon and evening could cause highly variable snow totals. 

The intensity of snow will be most impactful Friday morning but any bursts of snow Friday afternoon/evening could cause concerns on the roads. The snow for the weekend on Saturday and Sunday looks fairly light and scattered but could also make roads slippery at times when snow covers the roadways. 

Any snow we see Saturday could result in another 0.5-1.5" of snow and a similar situation on Sunday with up to another inch of snow possible. So, even though snow doesn't look too heavy at any given time, the long duration of the snow over the course of the next three days could result in anywhere from 1-5" of snow across southeast Wisconsin through the weekend.
