A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for all of southern Wisconsin Saturday morning into Sunday morning for significant snowfall and travel impacts. Expect the worst conditions from Saturday late morning into the evening. Plan accordingly to avoid hazardous travel conditions.

Snow totals will largely fall between 6-11 inches. Areas along the Lake Michigan shoreline may see locally higher totals owing to some lake enhancement. Snow is expected to begin Saturday morning between 12am and 5am, and ramp up intensity heading into Saturday afternoon.

Milwaukee County Warming Shelters Are Now Open

Shelters operate 7 PM-7 AM at the locations shown in the graphic.

This year, DHHS is launching a new support model to better assist individuals who are new to the human services system, about 30% of all warming shelter guests.

Anyone coming to a shelter for the first time will now be referred to the Marcia P. Coggs Health and Human Services Center, where a team from Coordinated Entry, Housing Services, and partner providers will assess their housing and service needs. This new effort, called the Homelessness Prevention Hub, connects people directly to resources such as the ADRC, CARS, and other on-site services.

Leadership is what you do when no one is watching.
