Snow returns to Wisconsin Saturday; highest totals north
Wisconsin Live Desk: Saturday snow (6 p.m. update)
FOX6's Sam Kraemer and Stephanie Barichello take a look at the snow outlook for Saturday, Feb. 8.
MILWAUKEE - Pockets of light snow and some wintry mix, like graupel or sleet, will continue through this evening. Visibility may be reduced at times and untreated pavement could be slippery, but main roads will likely just be wet.
Heavier snow to north of metro Milwaukee
By the numbers:
Between 7-9" of snow has accumulated in some spots across central Wisconsin, as the storm track took more of a northerly route. Parts of Fond du Lac and Sheboygan counties picked up an inch or so, while the rest of southeast Wisconsin has seen minimal if any accumulation. Little to no additional accumulation is expected tonight.
Snow will taper off Saturday night. Clouds will clear out by Sunday afternoon as a high pressure system moves in.
What's next:
Superbowl Sunday will have good travel conditions, along with colder temperatures in the 20s. Travel to any Superbowl parties should be just fine.
