Up to 2 inches of snow forecast for Milwaukee Sunday morning following warm temperatures last week
Safety tips to help you drive in the snow and ice
Winter driving can be hazardous, here are a few tips to help you survive the winter driving season.
Light snowfall is in the forecast Sunday morning with a possible accumulation of two to three inches of snow into the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters say temperatures will get up into the upper 30s with breezy northwest winds around 15 miles per hour on Sunday. Snow should start to melt in southeast Wisconsin around 1 p.m. as temps continue to climb toward the upper 30s, said NWS meteorologist Andrew Quigley.
Roads are expected to become slick and snow covered on I-43 from Elkhorn to Milwaukee on Sunday morning, according to the NWS. As of 8:30 a.m. most roads in the area are already partially covered in areas across southwestern Wisconsin, according to WisDOT. For the most up-to-date road conditions, visit 511wi.gov.
Temperatures are expected to fall back below freezing tonight, which could refreeze any precipitation on the roadways, but by late Monday morning and into the afternoon, temperatures are forecasted to hit the 50s.
“Welcome to March in Wisconsin,” said Quigley.
Tomorrow marks the start of a warming trend through Tuesday, before another system moves in on Wednesday with rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible. Temperatures are forecasted to fall into the upper 30s by Thursday, according to the NWS.
Tips for driving on icy roads
Here are some guidelines for driving on icy roads, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation:
- Keep safe distances between snow plows and large trucks. Snow plows often leave a cloud of snow in their trail, so stay at least 200 feet behind any working plow to make sure your visibility isn’t obscured. Also keep a safe distance behind trucks on the highway, since pieces of snow or ice can fly off the top of commercial vehicles driving fast.
- Clear snow and ice from your vehicle’s windows, roof, hood and front and rear lights. You can do this by warming up the car and then using a snow brush and ice scraper to clear the snow and ice.
- Drive slowly, allowing extra travel time and leaving extra distance between vehicles. Most winter crashes and slide-offs are caused by drivers going too fast for the existing conditions, according to WisDOT.
- Turn on your low-beam headlights. State law requires drivers to turn on their vehicle’s low-beam headlights any time weather or other conditions make it difficult to see objects 500 feet ahead, WisDOT says.
- Use brakes early and carefully. With anti-lock-brakes, use firm, steady pressure and gently steer. Never use cruise control in winter weather.
- Watch out for bridge decks and overpasses. These areas can be especially slippery when the roads ice over.

(MILWAUKEE, WI) – The Milwaukee Bucks (38-28) claim the season series over the Indiana Pacers (37-29) behind Giannis Antetokounmpo’s dominating performance.
1. First Quarter

On Tuesday night, a miraculous four-point play from Tyrese Haliburton elevated the Pacers over the Milwaukee Bucks. For majority of the last meeting, the game was between four points on either side. Indiana’s starting lineup was the usual crew – Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner. The first six minutes consisted of the Bucks possessing the lead until the Pacers hit three consecutive triples. Haliburton hit two and then Turner’s first three of the game put the Pacers on top 18-15. Turner would tie the game up a few possessions later at 20 with two free throws. Milwaukee caught fire in the next three minutes to take the first double figure lead with a Damien Lillard thirty-footer to make it 35-25. Indiana would make minor improvements the final 2:09 of the quarter. After twelve minutes, Indiana trailed Milwaukee 38-30. Giannis Antetokounmpo was a perfect 6/6 from the field, leading all scorers with 12 points. Indiana’s leading scorer was Turner with 9 points and Haliburton with 8 points. Indiana struggled defensively, allowing Milwaukee to shoot 14/20 (70%) from the field and 4/8 from the three-point line.
2. Second Quarter

Milwaukee’s torrid start would continue to the start of the second quarter. Indiana’s bench unit has not been as dynamic as last season, and the Bucks feasted off the Pacers bench unit to start the second quarter. Milwaukee scored the first 11 points of the quarter with another Lillard three extending the advantage to a first half high 19 points. Indiana countered the run with an 11-0 run to bring it back to an eight-point game. Nembhard’s layup with 6:28 left in the half made it a 49-41 ballgame. The Bucks did answer, but the Pacers were hanging in there with this game being the biggest of the season because of Siakam and Obi Toppin. Those two scored combined the final 17 points of the half. Indiana’s deficit at intermission was 65-60 after closing the quarter with an 8-2 run. Siakam led all scorers in the quarter with 17 points. Milwaukee’s leading scorers in the quarter were Giannis and Lillard with 6 points. Siakam led all scorers at halftime with 19 points, following by Antetokounmpo with 17 points. Haliburton’s double-double streak was nearly extended to nine games in the first half with 10 points and 8 assists. Giannis was two rebounds shy of a first half double-double, and Lillard was on track for a triple-double with 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.
3. Third Quarter

The third quarter was pretty much a repeat of what happened in the first quarter. With the starters on the floor, Indiana was hanging in there, but the bench could not keep the Pacers in the game. Giannis would extend the Milwaukee lead to ten points with 9:52 left in the quarter, but Indiana drew within five two possessions later when Siakam nailed a three. Haliburton would cut into Milwaukee’s advantage a little bit later with a layup, to make it 84-80. Rick Carlisle then inserted Mathurin, McConnell, and Thomas Bryant with 4:46 left in the quarter. Indiana went ice cold from the moment on in the period. The Bucks outscored the Pacers 16-2 to close the quarter and head to the fourth with all the momentum. After three quarters, Milwaukee was leading 100-82. Antetokounmpo was unstoppable in the period, scoring 14 points while dishing out five assists. Indiana’s leading scorer in the quarter was Nesmith with 11 points. Antetokounmpo was leading all scorers after three quarters with 32 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists. Siakam was Indiana’s leading scorer with 22 points. Haliburton was Indiana’s most effective player with 16 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals. In the third quarter, Milwaukee shot 13/18 (72.2%) from the field and 3/6 from three-point range. Indiana was just 2/8 in the third quarter beyond the arc.
4. Fourth Quarter

Despite his bench struggling to close the third quarter, Rick Carlisle didn’t make any substitutions to start the final period. It led to Milwaukee extending its lead to a game high 21 points when Lillard delivered another deep three. At the time it was 105-84, and then Carlisle inserted Turner and Nesmith to play along McConnell, Sheppard, and Toppin. Coming out of the timeout, that group went on a quick 7-0 run with Turner scoring five of those points. With 8:12 left in the game, Carlisle went back to his starting five, hoping they would be able to make a drastic comeback. That group of players was able to make it a twelve points game with 6:29 left, but the Bucks scored five quick points to go back up by 17 with 5:47 left in the contest. For the most part, Indiana was out of the game, until Giannis Antetokounmpo fouled out with 2:46 remaining. Giannis exited with the score being 117-109. On the following possession, a Siakam floater made it a six-point game, the closest Indiana had been in the second half. Taurean Prince delivered an early dagger with a near thirty-foot three to extend Milwaukee’s lead back to nine points. Nesmith countered seven seconds later with his sixth three of the game. Milwaukee would have the ball with 1:35 left and Indiana forced them to miss a shot, but the Bucks corralled two offensive rebounds, effectively sealing the game. Nembhard delivered a three with 12.7 seconds left to make it 122-119, but the Bucks would close the game making their final four free throws. Indiana falls 126-119 to Milwaukee. Nesmith was the best player in the quarter with 13 points on a perfect 5/5 shooting, including 3/3 beyond the arc. Milwaukee’s leading scorer was Lillard with 8 points.
