Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Quiet but cold weather holds through Thursday, with overnight wind chills dipping into the negative teens.
Attention then turns to lake-effect snow late Thursday night into Friday, with bands developing over Lake Michigan and periodically pushing onshore into lakeshore counties through Saturday afternoon.
Snowfall amounts hinge heavily on how long those bands stay inland, with 1 to 3 inches possible near the immediate lakeshore.
A separate system may bring more widespread snow Sunday afternoon into Sunday night across all of southern Wisconsin.
