A frigid cold airmass will bring significantly colder weather across the eastern two thirds of the country early this week. Temperatures will tie or break many records across the Southeast through tonight. Moderate to heavy lake effect snow will continue downwind of the Great Lakes. Gusty winds and dry conditions will support an elevated fire weather threat across the Central Gulf Coast. 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
