GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – While the Northeastern U.S. braces for up to three feet of snow, Wisconsin is getting a much smaller dose of winter today.
A low pressure system brought snow to the western part of the Badger State early this morning, with freezing rain possible at the tail end of the system.
The National Weather Service has issued winter weather advisories until noon for much of western Wisconsin — roughly from Viroqua to La Crosse to Neillsville to Medford to Ladysmith and points west.
Up to 2 inches of snow are predicted for parts of western and north central Wisconsin.
Forecasters say all of the Badger State might see freezing drizzle and-or light snow as the day goes on, with highs in the 20’s and 30’s. The freezing drizzle could linger into the evening.
Then it’s supposed to be dry at least through Friday.
Temperatures are supposed to remain above normal for most of the week, but a much colder weekend is in store with lows back into the single digits on Friday night.
