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.
