Midwest Braces for Late Season Snow and Rain Storms.

A significant snowstorm is forecast for Milwaukee and a large portion of Wisconsin, with the heaviest snow forecast along the lakeshore counties. A winter storm warning is in effect for southeast Wisconsin counties until 4 p.m. Saturday, and a winter weather advisory for the surrounding counties, according to the National Weather Service. Snowfall totals so far range from 5 to 8 inches across Wisconsin, with some early morning hours bringing 2 to 3 inches per hour. The forecast is still calling for the peak of snowfall rates to continue for another hour or two and then begin tapering off.
