A winter weather advisory has been issued for all of southeastern Wisconsin on Saturday, Jan. 10, until 1 p.m. This is due to morning snow causing low visibility and slippery travel due to the wet snow on top of already wet roads.

There is expected to be a lull in activity during the afternoon with possibly some sunshine Saturday afternoon. Then as cold air arrives, a few additional scattered snow showers are possible in southeast Wisconsin and Chicago during the game.

Snow will be more powdery as temperatures cool throughout the evening. It is expected to accumulate and may cause slippery travel and reduced visibility at times.
Most of southeast Wisconsin could pick up 1-2" of snow, with isolated spots near Kettle Moraine picking up closer to 3". Most of the snow will accumulate during the first half of Saturday.
While accumulating snow is favored more in Wisconsin, it will still be cold in both places with temperatures below freezing by kick-off with wind chills in the low 20s to upper teens and falling throughout the game.
