A winter storm moves in from the west Thursday. A few light rain and snow showers are possible during the day with minimal accumulation. Snow starts to pick up after 4 p.m. for our western counties and after 6 p.m. closer to Lake Michigan. Winds will also increase with gusts near 35 mph, leading possibly to blowing snow. Snow will be heaviest between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Thursday night, before starting to taper down through the rest of Friday morning. Snow ends in the early afternoon Friday.
4-6″ of snow is expected for almost all of southeastern Wisconsin, with 6-8″ of snow closer to Lake Michigan. There is the possibility a few places could see 10″ within the area under the 6-8″ range. Be prepared for travel impacts starting late Thursday evening, with the highest impacts during the Friday morning commute. This will be a neutral snow, not dry and fluffy, nor heavy and wet.
