MILWAUKEE, WI — Snow is expected to accumulate Thursday night and into Friday morning across much of southeastern Wisconsin although lower totals are expected closer to the lake, according to the National Weather Service.

Rain may mix in as well closer to the Illinois border, according to the National Weather Service Sullivan/Milwaukee. The snow could return again Monday night and may change to rain Tuesday, the NWS said.

For Milwaukee County, the snowfall could begin around 9 a.m. Friday with accumulation between 0-1 inches, the NWS forecast. The totals go up the further inland you go.

You may want to give yourself some extra time to get to work/school/breakfast with friends tomorrow (Friday) morning...particularly in SW/SC WI. A band of heavy snow will likely move through in the morning, causing roads to become slippery. Rain likely in the afternoon. #wiwx pic.twitter.com/91zJA1qM5D
