Heat will build over the Intermountain West and the Southwest the next couple of days.

Flash flooding will be possible in Arizona and west Texas today, as well as parts of the southern and central Plains due to slow moving thunderstorms. Read More >

  Widespread Accumulating Snow Expected to Continue Through Sunday

What: The wintry mix and light to moderate snow will continue to bring roughly 4 to 6 inches over central, north-central, and far northeast WI, with 2 to 4 inches from the Fox Valley to the Lake Shore by late Sunday morning. Snow may be heavy at times overnight. The precipitation will end from south to north Sunday morning into Sunday afternoon. Freezing drizzle is possible across east-central WI before the precipitation comes to an end. Snow may linger across far north-central WI through mid-afternoon Sunday.

 

Impacts: Hazardous travel expected. Snow covered and slippery roads, bridges, and sidewalks are expected, especially secondary and untreated roads.

Actions: Remember to slow down, keep extra distance between vehicles, and allow extra time to reach your destination.
