Blizzard Warning
Issued: 6:49 AM Mar. 16, 2026 – National Weather Service
...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM CDT THIS AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Heavy snow at rates up to 1"/hr will continue across southern Wisconsin through mid-morning, with northerly winds of 40 to 45 MPH expected. The combination of high rates and winds will lead to blizzard conditions with less than 1/4 mile visibility. Additional snow accumulations of 6 to 10 inches are expected across southwestern and south-central Wisconsin, with 3 to 6 inches across southeastern Wisconsin. Blowing snow will continue even after heavy snow tapers off. * WHERE...Portions of east central, south central, and southeast Wisconsin. * WHEN...Until 4 PM CDT this afternoon. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. Widespread blowing snow will significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions are expected to impact the morning commute. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Travel should be restricted to emergencies only. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle. The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 5 1 1. A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds are likely. This may lead to whiteout conditions, making travel extremely dangerous. &&
