CENTRAL WISCONSIN WAS FALLING AS SNOW. RAIN AND DRIZZLE WERE
STILL REPORTED IN EAST-CENTRAL AND MOST OF THE NORTHEAST PARTS OF
THE STATE. BUT THESE LOCATIONS SHOULD SEE A TRANSITION TO MAINLY
SNOW DURING THE EVENING.
MOST LOCATIONS IN CENTRAL AND EAST-CENTRAL WISCONSIN SHOULD
RECEIVE AN INCH OR SO OF SNOW OVERNIGHT. ONE TO THREE INCHES OF
SNOW IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTH. THE SNOW AND FALLING
TEMPERATURES WILL LEAD TO HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS.
THE COLDER WEATHER ALONG WITH PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE INTO
