Winter weather advisory issued for southeast Wisconsin
MILWAUKEE – The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory from 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9 through 6 a.m. Monday, Nov. 10.
This is for Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha counties, where heavy lake effect snow can produce 2″ to 5″ of snow with locally higher amounts possible if the snow band(s) persist longer and/or produce heavier rates of snowfall during this time.
Heavier amounts of snow and higher impacts continue from Lake County in Illinois through Chicago, Valparaiso, and South Haven. Northerly winds are moving very cold air over the warmer waters of Lake Michigan, creating concentrated bands of heavy snow.
Depending on the orientation of the winds, this can move the lake effect snow bands into various areas in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.
Trends are continuing to favor an intense band that can bring heavy snowfall to some lakeshore areas. There will be a sharp cutoff gradient of heavy snow to light snow, all depending on where the snow band sets up.
There is a slight chance that the lake effect snow could stay more over the lake if the winds stay more out of the north. That would cut down on the amount of snow that southeast Wisconsin can see. However, most models are trending at pushing the band into Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha counties, causing snow to accumulate 2″ to 5″.
Snow is going to move in during the evening hours when most people will be at home and sleeping, but due to the cold temperatures of the air and ground, snow will likely cause travel impacts Monday morning. It is not recommended to drive in lake effect snow due to the intense low visibility that can occur.
Plan for extra travel time tonight and into Monday morning as snow will likely stick on the pavement.

Wisconsin guard Andrew Rohde reflects on early March Madness exit
Wisconsin guard Andrew Rohde said the Badgers ‘thought we could do so many things’ in the NCAA Tournament before it ended abrupty with an upset loss.
Wisconsin men’s basketball has added a sharpshooting wing via the transfer portal.
Miami (Ohio) transfer Eian Elmer has signed with the Badgers, the team announced April 18. The 6-foot-7 wing will join UW with one year of eligibility remaining.
Elmer averaged a career-high 12.7 points and 5.9 rebounds while shooting 49.8% from the field and 42.9% from 3-point range in 2025-26. His production helped the RedHawks go 32-2 and earn an at-large NCAA Tournament bid.
“We are really excited to add another excellent addition to our spring signees,” UW coach Greg Gard said in a release. “Eian brings a wealth of experience and scoring punch as a 6-7 wing. … A terrific shooter, his skillset and production fit excellently into our plan as we build out next year’s team. Throughout our evaluation process, our staff loved his size, power and skill and truly believe he will thrive in our system.”
Elmer is Wisconsin’s third transfer portal addition since the end of the 2025-26 season, joining former George Washington guard Trey Autry and former Hofstra forward Victory Onuetu. UW also added Australian guard Owen Foxwell.
The additions of Autry, Onuetu and now Elmer leave Gard’s staff with three more roster spots to fill ahead of the 2026-27 season.
The Badgers are looking to replace much of their production from a 2025-26 team that went 24-11. Nolan Winter is expected to be the team’s only returning starter after John Blackwell and Aleksas Bieliauskas entered the transfer portal and Nick Boyd and Andrew Rohde exhausted their eligibility.

How Aleksas Bieliauskas has grown in first season with Wisconsin Badgers
Wisconsin coach Greg Gard has high praise for Aleksas Bieliauskas about a month into the Lithuania native’s freshman season.
MADISON – One of Wisconsin men’s basketball’s departing transfers is headed to an SEC program with some connections to the Badgers.
Ex-UW forward Aleksas Bieliauskas has committed to South Carolina, he announced on April 17.
Bieliauskas left the Badgers after appearing in all 35 games as a freshman and making 28 starts. He averaged 4.9 points and 4.4 points in 20.2 minutes, and highlights of his freshman year included his five 3-pointers in UW’s upset over eventual national champion Michigan.
He’ll join a program with plenty of Wisconsin ties. South Carolina head coach Lamont Paris was an assistant coach at Wisconsin from 2010-17 on Bo Ryan and Greg Gard’s staffs. South Carolina assistant coach Tanner Bronson and director of video services Roman DiPasquale also are UW alumni.
Bieliauskas is the second of UW’s four departing transfers to commit to a new school. Reserve forward Jack Robison committed to North Dakota State on April 15. Starting guard John Blackwell and reserve forward Riccardo Greppi have not announced their next schools yet.
