Wisconsin winter weather: Light snow Saturday, colder weekend

Light snow showers will continue Saturday afternoon and evening across southeastern Wisconsin and the upper Midwest, ending late this evening near Lake Michigan.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Dodge, Jefferson, Washington, and Waukesha Counties until 8 p.m. Saturday.

Although this storm will not have much accumulation, there could still be reduced visibility at times and slippery travel.

There is also a chance for lake effect snow or flurries to linger overnight and throughout Sunday morning.

Most of southeastern Wisconsin will have the potential for an inch or two of accumulation.

Snow consistency will start wet and packable and will become a bit more fluffy as temperatures drop later this evening.

Even with a chance of accumulating snow today, February will finish well below average with snow. The last time snow was still covering the ground was back on Feb. 11.

Plan on chilly conditions the rest of the weekend. Temperatures will stay in the 20s through Sunday, then climb back to the 30s and 40s next week.
