It looks like Winter has finally returned to Southeastern Wisconsin on the second Friday in February. We have a frontal system moving in from Canada pushing down into our area today that will drop temperatures into a more winter like pattern. Before those temperatures drop we'll have some bands of snow and if you are near the lakeshore, some enhanced lake effect snow bands, that could drop as much as 3" of snow. Most areas will see anywhere from 1-3" and a few spots south of Milwaukee and near the lakeshore could see 4". With the strong pressure gradient in place, we'll see blowing and drifting with any snow that does fall this afternoon. The snow will let up by rush hour but traveling will still have to done carefully.
Yes, the white stuff is in the air! The rest of the weekend will bring us strong north-northwesterly winds along with some very cold temperatures. Wind chill readings will be below zero at times tomorrow before another chance of snow on Monday and a warm up by Tuesday and Wednesday.
