Light freezing rain is expected to continue over central and east-central Wisconsin. Sunday evening through Monday expect heavy banded snow to impact southern WI with snowfall totals from 5 to 9 inches with locally higher amounts possible. Wind gusts up to 45 mph will cause blowing snow and visibility restrictions. There remains considerable model uncertainty regarding snow amounts and end timing of winter impacts over southeast Wisconsin Sunday night into Monday Morning. The Winter Storm Watch will be maintained at this time. * WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Total snow accumulations between 4 and 7 inches and ice accumulations around a light glaze possible. Winds could gust as high as 50 mph. * WHERE...Portions of south central and southeast Wisconsin. * WHEN...From Sunday afternoon through Monday evening. * IMPACTS...Visibilities may drop below 1/4 mile due to falling and blowing snow.
