TIMING AND IMPACTS:
While Saturday has started dry, snow will breakout from southwest to northeast during the early evening.
On going moderate, to at times heavy, snow will accumulate through tonight and into Sunday morning. Gusty winds will also lead to blowing and drifting, along with lowered visibility. Travel will be most difficult during this time.
The late morning and early afternoon on Sunday will be mostly cloudy and breezy with snow tapering to flurries. Some light additional accumulation is possible.
Total snow accumulation will range from around 2-3″ north of Wisconsin Dells to 8-9″ or a little more down toward the Illinois state line, and along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
