How much snow is forecast for the Milwaukee area and other parts of Wisconsin?
On Thursday, the National Weather Service projected four to eight inches of snow for the Milwaukee area Friday.
It’s likely to be a heavy, wet snow that falls during the Friday morning commute along the Interstate 94 corridor and south of it, potentially causing issues with visibility and traction.
Thursday's forecasts bumped up the expected snow in Milwaukee, from what was previously projected to be two to five inches of snow.
Around southeastern Wisconsin, snow totals are expected to between three to eight inches. Most of the state is expected to get at least two inches, except for the northernmost areas.
Temperatures are projected for the low 30s and winds should maintain around 10 mph.
“Fortunately, the winds from the storm will not play a huge role in its impacts,” Ben Sheppard, a local National Weather Service meteorologist, said Thursday.
