MILWAUKEE - Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Tom Wachs

Lake effect snow along the lakeshore overnight, especially from Milwaukee and south where 1-2" could fall through 10am on Monday.
Cloudy skies on Monday after morning lake effect snow along the lakeshore (MKE and south). Cold. Sunrise temperatures in the teens and a high around 26.
This is "clipper" season where these clipper storms zip through. Light snow will impact the area on Monday night, mainly far north however. We won't see much out of that.
Another stronger clipper will bring a wintry mix to the area after 4pm on Tuesday. All snow in Fond du Lac and Sheboygan counties. We could see freezing rain or sleet in Milwaukee with that clipper, so stay tuned.
