Milwaukee Weather: AM Snow, falling PM temperatures

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Southern Wisconsin is dealing with one more nuisance winter system early this morning with a quick burst of snow. Impacts are mostly travel-related, but early timing should help with the morning commute. Snow moves out after 8am. Temperatures stay mild early but fall behind the passing cold front mid-day into the afternoon.  Overnight temperatures will reach the single digits in most areas. After today’s wind and colder air, the weekend stays mostly quiet, with only a low-confidence, low-impact clipper Saturday night.
The big pattern shift arrives early next week: a sustained warm-up, potentially pushing well into the 40s by Tuesday!
