MILWAUKEE - Scattered snow showers and possibly snow squalls are expected to move through southeast Wisconsin on Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Snow squall crosses SE Wisconsin

Video from across southeast Wisconsin captured the impact of Wednesday's snow squall.

Snow squalls cause sudden whiteout conditions and often times big problems on the roadways, thanks to quickly deteriorating conditions. If conditions warrant, a snow squall warning will be issued. It is a signal to hold off on traveling if possible, and if out on the roads, to slow down or even pull over.

The National Weather Service shared video from western Wisconsin earlier Wednesday – during an active snow squall warning.
