Overview

A powerful spring storm brought a combination of rain, heavy snow, strong winds and a few thunderstorms to the region, mainly during the afternoon and evening of March 19, 2025.

Precipitation initially began as rain before transitioning to wet, heavy snow as temperatures cooled. A narrow band of 6 to 9 inch snow amounts occurred from central through northeast Wisconsin, with a sharp drop off in snow amounts northwest of this band. A slower transition from rain to snow occurred across east-central Wisconsin as well which limited snow amounts in this area.
