Weather Webcast with A.J. Waterman
A winter storm is moving in tonight. Expect moderate to heavy snow and gusty winds. The storm warps up on Sunday afternoon with several inches of new snowfall expected.
This evening through Sunday, Jan. 31, 4-8" of widespread snow is possible, most of southeast Wisconsin will be within that range when it's all said and done. Areas along the lake have the potential for 8-10" if adequate lake enhancement occurs.
Southeastern Wisconsin will be under a Winter Storm Warning from 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 30 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 31 as heaving snow will reduce visibility and cause dangerous travel conditions.
This warning timeframe is right in line with SkyVision's current model runs as most of the heavy snow won't become widespread until later this evening. Throughout the overnight is when we'll experience a majority of our snow accumulation and push meaning into the 4-8" range but there is potential for more.
Right, along the lake from Sheboygan down to Chicago there's a good chance we'll see higher totals due to lake enhancement and higher levels of atmospheric moisture. While compression will likely occur with how wet the snow will be high totals above 8"+ will be possible. Sunday morning, Jan. 31 through the afternoon is when these spots could pick up an additional 2" as slowly most of the system starts to move east.
