Heavy lake-effect and lake-enhanced snow will persist downwind of the Great Lakes and produce some whiteout conditions that could cause difficult travel conditions. A coastal low will produce moderate to heavy snow over parts of southern and eastern New England into the afternoon. Below average temperatures are expected across the eastern U.S., particularly with chilly morning temperatures. Read More >
Overview
|
Snow spread across the Midwest Thursday afternoon through Friday (February 8-9, 2018). Southern Wisconsin was on the northern periphery of the swath of snow. Snowfall amounts ranged from up to 2 inches near Fond du Lac and Montello to 4 to 9 inches near the Illinois border. There were multiple bands of snow that tracked through the area during the overnight hours. This led to localized areas of higher snowfall totals. |
 These amounts are approximate. They are based on actual snowfall reports, but augmented with computer model output. |
Radar:
Snow spread into southern Wisconsin Thursday evening and tapered off across southeast Wisconsin Friday morning.
