Snow Returns on Wednesday

Accumulating snow is expected Wednesday morning and afternoon. The greatest chance for seeing 1" or more is for areas along and east of Madison. A snow band may set up, producing locally heavy amounts of 3-6". Current forecasts suggest this snow band will be along and northeast of a Milwaukee to Fond du Lac line, but this could change. If this band doesn't develop, snow amounts will be less (on the order of 1-2") than our current forecast. Keep up with the forecast, as it may change. Prepare for the possibility of slick roadways and hazardous travel if you'll be out and about on Wednesday.
