, light to moderate snow will continue into the overnight,
.snow continues to fall over the much of the area and will
Continue to do so through the rest of the afternoon into the
Evening. There have been a few areas seeing not much more than a
Dusting thus far, namely over portions of southwest wisconsin
Between the wisconsin river and interstate 90. The biggest story
Has been a stationary band of moderate snow from neillsville
Through black river falls, holmen, preston, and charles
City, where 3 to 4 inches of snow has already accumulated.
Outside of these two areas, 1 to 2 inches of snow has fallen.
Into the late afternoon and evening hours, expect snow west of
The mississippi river to continue, and slowly weaken with time.
The focus from the late afternoon into the evening will slowly shift
Toward the mississippi river and to the east as a new band of snow
Organizes over these areas. This band will remain stationary
Through much of the evening before pulling east overnight, ending
The snow from west to east. This will bring heavier accumulations
To areas of southwest wisconsin which have been spared thus far
Today. Storm totals once the snow ends will range from 2 to 5
Inches for most locations. Some areas which have seen the
Persistent snow through the morning into the early afternoon may
Seem localized amounts toward 6 inches. Another maximum in
Accumulations is expected over extreme southwest wisconsin from
Boscobel toward mauston where up to 5 inches or locally more may
Fall. North winds will increase to 15 to 30 mph overnight, but
The wet nature of the snow should preclude anything above ground
Drifting.
