MILWAUKEE — The National Weather Service provides updates on the latest winter weather advisories and watches.
A Winter Weather Advisory will start on Saturday, March 14 at 7:00 p.m. and be in effect until Saturday, March 15 until 10:00 a.m. for Ozaukee, Sheboygan, Fond du Lac County, and Dodge Counties.
Then a Winter Storm Watch will take effect starting at 4:00 p.m. on March 15 until 7:00 p.m. for all of Southeast Wisconsin.
A strong late winter storm system is expected to impact southern Wisconsin during the last half of the weekend in 3 phases:
- The first phase will run from the evening of Saturday, March 14 into the morning of Sunday, March 15 and will feature a Winter Weather Advisory. Snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are expected in the advisory area, along with the potential for a up to a tenth of an inch of ice accumulation.
- The second phase is then expected from late in the morning on Sunday, March 15 into the afternoon. Warm air causes a transition to rain over a majority of southern Wisconsin, and there is a possibility of thunderstorms.
- The last phase will then run from the late afternoon on Sunday, March 15 through Monday, March 16, as cold air then wraps back into the area and heavy banded snow moves in. Snowfall totals are expected to be from 5 to 9 inches, with the possibility of a light glaze of ice especially over central and east central Wisconsin. Wind gusts up to 45 mph will cause blowing snow and visibility issues.
