With the latest information, expect snow to start after midday Saturday and continue through early Sunday morning. Snow will be south of Milwaukee towards the lakefront, with a little enhancement of snowfall from the lake. The latest forecasted totals as of Friday morning are: 5-8″ for Milwuakee, Racine, and Kenosha counties, 3-6″ for Jefferson, Waukesha, Washington, and Ozaukee counties, and 1-4″ for Dodge, Fond du Lac, and Sheboygan counties. **Expect these forecasted snowfall totals to change as we get closer to Saturday and the track of the storm is refined.”
