WEATHER UPDATE: Snow and Ice Accumulation Prediction Made for Brookfield

The National Weather Service is calling for a long duration winter storm that will really get going late tonight and into Monday morning.

Before the accumulation ends late Monday there could be an additional 4-8 inches of snow on the ground and a quarter inch of ice, which will make traveling for Monday morning’s commute very difficult.

A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the area as a light mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain will develop today and grow heavier and steadier over night and into tomorrow morning.

The precipitation will turn to all snow early Monday and continue until late Monday.

But there is some good news once we get past this latest storm, there appears to be no new snow chances as of right now in the National Weather Service’s seven day forecast through Saturday. Of course that can always change too.
