Cold temperatures will continue across much of the eastern U.S. into today. Heavy lake effect snow continues into today east of Lakes Erie and Ontario. Two Pacific cold fronts will cross the Pacific Northwest early this week followed by another atmospheric river. Heavy rain and gusty winds are expected through midweek, with the potential for renewed urban and river flooding. Read More >
Overview
An evening of heavy rain and thunderstorms quickly transitioned to heavy snowfall in southern Wisconsin. Snowfall rates of an inch or higher per hour occurred in many locations, but lingered the longest in a localized area from Walworth to western Kenosha and Racine counties where 6-9" of snow fell. This quick transition from rain to snow caused many roads to become snow covered and slippery for the Tuesday morning commute.Snow
