Friday, January 17, 2020 08:04 PM 1/17 8:00 PM - A widespread band of heavy snowfall will continue across WI this evening, bringing the majority of this system's snowfall through midnight, reaching 3-5'' for much of southern WI. Blustery SE winds remain overnight, allowing temps to keep slowly warming into the 30s for early Saturday. This leaves more of a sleet/snow/freezing rain mix with slowed snowfall after midnight and through 10am Saturday, although slippery spots will still be around as some ice accumulates. A cold front then brings gusty NW winds by midday, with one last shot of snow to bring 1-3'' before we dry out Saturday afternoon. While temps push the low-mid 30s briefly, the strong NW winds gust to 20-40mph, and plummet temperatures with a flash freeze expected by sunset. Very cold into Sunday as we dry up and see clearing skies, but temps to single digits and wind chills below zero. A dry but chilly pattern then takes us into the start of the work week.
