A series of weather systems are set to bring a mix of snow showers, wintry precipitation, and potential icy conditions to parts of Wisconsin starting this weekend and continuing through the work week ahead. Forecasters are closely monitoring the situation and may issue a First Alert Weather Day for Monday when a cold front is expected to bring a light wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain.

Why it matters

The changing winter weather conditions could impact travel and road conditions, especially on Monday when a wintry mix may lead to icy, slick roads. Residents should stay aware of the forecast and prepare for potential disruptions to their commutes and daily activities.

The details

Saturday night will see increasing clouds with snow showers expected in the eastern parts of the region, potentially leaving a coating to less than 1 inch of snow. Sunday will be milder with more cloud cover than sun. On Monday, a cold front is expected to bring a light wintry mix of snow showers, sleet, and freezing rain throughout the day. While snowfall is expected to be minimal, the frozen ground and temperatures near or slightly below freezing could lead to up to 0.1 inches of ice accumulation, creating slick road conditions. Forecasters are closely monitoring the situation to determine if a First Alert Weather Day is needed.

• Saturday night into early Sunday morning: Snow showers expected in the eastern parts of the region.
• Monday: Potential for a light wintry mix of snow showers, sleet, and freezing rain throughout the day.

What’s next

Forecasters will continue to monitor the situation and may issue a First Alert Weather Day for Monday if the wintry mix and potential icy conditions pose a significant threat to travel and public safety.
