Blizzard Warning issued March 16 at 1:49AM CDT until March 16 at 4:00PM CDT by NWS Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
* WHAT...Heavy snow at rates up to 1"/hr will continue across
southern Wisconsin through mid-morning, with northerly winds of 40
to 45 MPH expected. The combination of high rates and winds will
lead to blizzard conditions with less than 1/4 mile visibility.
Additional snow accumulations of 6 to 10 inches are expected
across southwestern and south-central Wisconsin, with 3 to 6
inches across southeastern Wisconsin. Blowing snow will continue
even after heavy snow tapers off.
* WHERE...Portions of east central, south central, and southeast
Wisconsin.
* WHEN...Until 4 PM CDT this afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. Widespread blowing snow
will significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions are
expected to impact the morning commute. Gusty winds could bring
down tree branches.
Travel should be restricted to emergencies only. If you must travel,
have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with
your vehicle. The latest road conditions for the state you are
calling from can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.
A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds are likely.
This may lead to whiteout conditions, making travel extremely
dangerous.
