Wisconsin winter weather: Snow returns Sunday night into Monday
MILWAUKEE – A winter weather advisory has been issued for Dodge, Washington, Ozaukee, Fond du Lac, and Sheboygan Counties from 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 28 to 12 p.m. Monday, Dec. 29.
Central and northern Wisconsin and surrounding areas in the Midwest are under a winter storm watch.
Snow is expected to accumulate between 2″-4″ with isolated areas that could see more. Areas not in the advisory zone can still receive accumulating snow from 1″-3″ for most locations with a trace-2″ near the border and lake shore.
Precipitation will begin as a few spotty showers early Sunday morning with heavier rain near the Wisconsin-Illinois border by early Sunday afternoon. Some areas can have a dry slot early in the event, preventing precipitation from reaching the ground. As moisture increases near the surface, widespread rain is favorable during the late afternoon on Sunday through Sunday night. Very cold air will arrive on the backside of this system, transitioning from rain over to snow around 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday.
Temperatures will be in the 40s for most of Sunday, which will keep precipitation as rain. Winds will shift out of the northwest during the afternoon, transporting cold air into southeast Wisconsin. This will change precipitation over to a short term wintry mix, then completely over to snow overnight. Cold air can quickly cause freezing of previously falling rain.
Sustained northwesterly winds can blow 20 to 30 mph with gusts of 40 to 45 mph. It is possible that a wind advisory may be needed if this high wind gust trend continues. Wind of this strength will cause lower visibility when snow falls.
Strong winds can gust up to 40 mph as snow is falling. With falling temperatures, wind chills will be in the single digits to near zero by Monday morning.
Plan on slippery road conditions that can impact holiday travel late Sunday into the Monday morning commute.

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.
