Wisconsin Weather: Winter Storm Watch Canceled For Tuesday

MILWAUKEE, WI — It's the winter storm that never was.

According to the National Weather Service, the Winter Storm Watch that was set to go into effect Tuesday afternoon has been canceled after weather observers saw that the massive storm is, in fact, heading south of Wisconsin for the most part.

"The forecast heavy snow axis has shifted southeast into northeast Illinois. Best chance for accumulating snow is in far southeast Wisconsin Tuesday night through Wednesday afternoon. If storm track continues southeast expect lower amounts," the National Weather Service said in a statement just before 4 p.m. CDT Monday

Here are the updated facts about Tuesday's snow:

• 1 to 4 inches possible in far southeast Wisconsin Tuesday night into Wednesday
• If lake effect snow occurs, locally higher amounts are possible in Racine and Kenosha counties
• There will still be wind: northerly wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour may cause blowing/drifting snow.

If you live in Waukesha or west in Madison, you're going to see maybe an inch of snow.

Weather observers say communities to the north and west will hardly see any snow at all.
