A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Jefferson, Waukesha, Milwaukee, and Green counties, while a Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the rest of far southern Wisconsin.

Dangerous travel conditions are expected Sunday afternoon and evening across southeast Wisconsin due to the combination of heavy snow and strong winds, the NWS is reporting.

The highest gusts and possible blowing snow will be Sunday evening and early night.
