FIRST ALERT DAY - Quick punch of snow on Thursday
Widespread snowfall totals Thursday - Friday will be between 2-4″+.
MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Thursday is a FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY due to the potential for quick punch of accumulating snow Thursday morning into Thursday afternoon. This round of snow could impact traveling Thursday afternoon and the commute home Thursday evening. Low visibilities and snowy/slushy roads could make traveling difficult at times.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy and not very cold for this time of year. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 20s.
Our next big weather maker will impact the area Thursday through Friday. A slow-moving storm system will bring in a burst of snow on Thursday and periodic light snow showers Thursday night through Friday. A band of snow will move from west to east across the area Thursday morning through Thursday evening. The best timing of the band on snow on Thursday will likely be from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. With temperatures expected to warm above freezing, the roads could be more slushy and wet rather than completely snow covered. Expect low visibilities traveling when the band of snow is moving through.
