Wisconsin Braces for Season's Heaviest Snowfall

Wisconsin faces a significant winter storm threat, with a weather winter storm warning potentially in effect from Sunday into early Monday morning. This storm system is anticipated to bring the highest snowfall amounts of the season to parts of the state, driven by a low-pressure system tracking from Colorado.

The most impactful period is expected to be Sunday, particularly from 10 am to 8 pm ET. During these hours, snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour could overwhelm plowing efforts, leading to rapidly deteriorating road conditions and significantly reduced visibility due to blowing and drifting snow.

Forecasters recommend Saturday as the optimal day for travel and errands, as Sunday is projected to have the most challenging conditions. By Monday, the snow is expected to taper off. The storm's track remains a critical factor determining the exact snow totals across Wisconsin.
