Milwaukee Braces for Snowy Weekend with Windy Conditions

MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee is facing a snowy weekend as a winter storm continues to impact the region, with significant snowfall forecasted from November 28 through the weekend. Snow began on November 28, and the National Weather Service indicated that conditions could worsen as the storm moves east.

Accumulation rates of up to 1 inch per hour were reported in Milwaukee, leading to challenging travel conditions. Many areas are expected to receive between 6 and 12 inches of snow, particularly in west-central Illinois, where severe winter storm warnings remain in effect.

Wind gusts exceeding 40 mph are predicted, adding to the already difficult driving conditions. The city experienced poor visibility and slick roads due to blowing and drifting snow. Authorities advise residents to remain cautious, especially on untreated roadways.

The snow is anticipated to taper off by late Saturday night, but blustery conditions will persist into the following week. Local meteorologists have warned of potential light snow showers continuing into early December.

Residents are encouraged to download weather apps, such as the FOX Weather app, to stay updated on real-time weather changes and forecasts. Additionally, schools and businesses may have to adjust their schedules depending on the storm’s severity.

As temperatures drop into the single digits early next week, a stark shift to colder weather will take hold in Milwaukee, with highs only reaching the low 30s. Community members should be prepared for chilly conditions throughout the weekend.
