Wisconsin Gets First Snowfall Of The Season

MILWAUKEE, WI — Halloween is right around the corner, yet the season's first snowfall appears to have reached us first.

The snowflakes began to fly Monday night, and by morning neighbors to the east may wake up to the sight of a thin layer of snow on the ground.

Slushy snow accumulations may have an impact on the early morning commute Tuesday morning. In addition, a period of moderate to heavy wet snow may result in falling tree
limbs and power outages as many tree branches still have their leaves.

The National Weather Service says the snow was made possible through a strengthening low pressure system. In addition to delivering our first snow Monday night, it will likely bring another period of snow and rain to southern Wisconsin Thursday and Thursday night.

"At this early stage, snowfall accumulations are far from certain, but can range anywhere from around one half inch in the far southeast to two to four inches of snow in south central and east central Wisconsin," the National Weather Service said Monday.

"However there remains considerable uncertainty regarding the track and strength of this system. All interests will want to monitor the latest forecast regarding this weather system for later this week."
