More Snow Could Hit Southeast Wisconsin Wednesday Before Rain: NWS
Around an inch of snow could be on its way to impact the Wednesday morning commute in southeast Wisconsin, national forecasters said.
MILWAUKEE, WI — We have finally emerged from another Wisconsin winter and made it to springtime, but that doesn't mean the snow is stopping.
Despite the heavy snow from this past weekend's storm (and despite it almost being April), we could be in for another dusting Wednesday morning as a cold front comes into the southern part of Wisconsin, according to a tweet by the National Weather Service.
Most areas are expected to get anywhere from a trace of snow to an inch, the NWS said. The snow could be quick-hitting but only last a few hours with 0.5-1 inch of snow expected per hour, forecasters said.
