It's Winter Weather Awareness Week and we're talking about Lake Effect Snow. For those along Lake Michigan, particularly Racine/Kenosha, you already know about how intense these snow bands can be, particularly early in the season when the lake is warmer compared to late winter.

Still see the band of rain contend with the warmer air delaying the transition to a wintry mix and snow. However, still expecting to see things switch to snow through daybreak for parts of central WI that may pick up an inch or so of slushy accumulations. #wiwx

Light snow lingers, with a rain/snow mix near Lake Michigan. This should gradually taper off overnight. Wet, slushy accumulations under one inch are possible on grassy and elevated surfaces. Slow down and drive carefully, as slick spots may result in these areas. #swiwx #wiwx
