Christmas Eve Snow To Make Holiday Travel Slippery, Dangerous

The National Weather Service is reporting that light snow and cold temperatures could lead to slick conditions on roads and sidewalks. If you have travel plans today, allow extra time to reach your destination, especially if you're heading south of the Wisconsin/Illinois border.

An area of light snow has overtaken southern Wisconsin, the NWS is reporting. This light snow will persist into the afternoon, eventually ending from west to east. Snowfall totals of one to two inches are expected across southern Wisconsin, with up to three inches possible near the state line.

Holiday travelers should be prepared to slow down and allow extra time to reach their destination later this morning and afternoon across southern and especially far southeastern Wisconsin including the Milwaukee to Kenosha urban corridor.

Snowfall amounts will range from less than one inch roughly north of I-94 and northwest of Madison. Up to two inches are possible in southeast Wisconsin, especially toward Kenosha and the Illinois border. Look for snow to spread into southern Wisconsin during the morning hours (8 to 11 a.m.). The steadier light snow will diminish by 3 pm today.
