Snowy end to the work week...

Yesterday was a beautiful day but today snow will be the main concern. Unfortunately the winter weather continues at a time when people will be doing a lot of traveling. If you plan on traveling southeast towards Madison or Milwaukee you could definitely run into some problems. Roads will likely get slick and traffic will be traveling at a slower pace. Madison could see 3-5" of snow with 4-8" in Milwaukee. While the southeastern third of Wisconsin can expect plenty of snow, we will also get our fair share right here in the News 19 viewing area. A snow advisory is in effect for Richland, Vernon and Crawford Counties until 6 PM. These are the areas that will see the most snow in our area. 3-4" of snow is expected with around 1-3" for the rest of the viewing area... The northwestern counties in the area will be closer to the 1" range. The snow will wrap up early tonight and that will open the door for a nice weekend. Expect mostly cloudy skies on Saturday with occasional flurries on Sunday. Temperatures will be near or above average, something that won't be the same story for the start of the New Year.

Until Next Time,
