Wisconsin is expected to experience heavy, wet snowfall on Saturday, March 25 due to a low pressure system passing to the south. Many areas are likely to receive at least 4 inches of snow, with the possibility of over 7 inches, which would make it the first 20-plus-inch snowfall in March since 1965 and put it in the Top 10 snowiest Marches on record. The heaviest accumulation period will be from early to late morning on Saturday, with rates at an inch per hour possible, but compaction will occur quickly due to the temperature and wetness of the snow. Snowfall will taper off in the early afternoon, with gusty winds taking its place.
