This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of east central
Wisconsin, south central Wisconsin and southeast Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Accumulating snow and travel impacts will continue today across
the area. The snow is expected to linger this morning, then end
from west to east between midday and early this evening. Lake
effect snow will linger later today into tonight in far southeast
Wisconsin near Lake Michigan.

Higher snowfall totals will generally be along and south of a
Mineral Point to Sheboygan line, with highest amounts in far
southeast Wisconsin near Lake Michigan. This will impact the
morning commute, and into the evening commute toward eastern parts
of the area.

Gusty northeast winds will continue to lead to some blowing and
drifting snow today, reducing visibilities. These winds may also
lead to the potential for some localized lakeshore flooding and
erosion for locations south of Milwaukee.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Lake effect snow may linger into Wednesday morning in far
southeast Wisconsin.

A system may bring another round of snow to Wisconsin over the
weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
