Milwaukee Weather: Heavy snow and strong wind gusts
Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Blizzard Warning Until 4pm. A powerful late-season winter storm is hammering southern Wisconsin, producing blizzard conditions with heavy snowfall and wind gusts approaching 50-60 mph.
Visibility will remain extremely limited through the morning commute before the snow gradually tapers from south to north late morning into midday. Even after the snow ends, gusty winds will keep blowing and drifting snow going. Much colder air moves in tonight, dropping temperatures near zero inland with wind chills in the negative teens by Tuesday morning.
The pattern stays active midweek with another chance for light snow and possibly freezing drizzle Tuesday night into Wednesday before quieter and gradually milder weather develops later in the week.
