We went from summer to winter in a matter of hours this weekend, and wet and heavy snow continues Monday over portions of western Wisconsin.


What You Need To Know

  • Heavy snow falls over portions of western Wisconsin

  • Some have seen a foot or more

  • Snow totals will drop off significantly farther east

Cold air holds firm behind a powerful and dynamic storm system. Some significant snowfall fell in parts of western Wisconsin. Several areas, mainly between La Crosse and Wausau, have seen accumulations surpass a foot!

Winter Storm Warnings remain in place for Monday where the heaviest snow is, while Winter Weather Advisories continue for those getting lower snowfall amounts.

The main target area just west of Madison will likely see between 12 to 18 inches of snow. Madison falls into the range of 3 to 6 inches, whereas areas farther east will see much lower snow totals. Green Bay and Milwaukee will struggle to get an inch. 

The heaviest snow will gradually slide eastward on Monday, weakening as it does so. Some spots will deal with some additional flakes until the afternoon.

All should be quiet by early Monday evening.

To make things worse, expect strong winds heading into Monday. Wind gusts could reach over 40 mph.

Travel conditions will be very poor for western Wisconsin. Make sure to use caution and allow for plenty of extra time to drive safely.

For those in eastern Wisconsin, anticipate minor accumulations. Travel impacts should be minimal.
