SNOW TO IMPACT DOOR COUNTY THROUGH THE NOON HOUR...
...ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM TO IMPACT THE REGION WITH HEAVY
SNOW AND STRONG WINDS FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...
.Snow will continue across Door County through the noon hour. Up to
an additional inch is possible. The snow will result in hazardous
travel conditions through midday.
A strengthening low pressure system will track from the
mid-Mississippi Valley to the central Great Lakes from Friday
morning through midday Saturday. The strong system will bring heavy
snow and strong winds to the region. Probability of at least 6
inches of snow range from 70 to 90% across the Fox Valley and
lakeshore areas, and from 50 to 70% across parts of central and far
northeast Wisconsin. In addition, wind gusts could reach 45 mph or
higher in the Fox Valley and lakeshore areas, where near-blizzard
conditions are possible. Temperatures near to slightly above
freezing could locally reduce snowfall totals right along the Lake
Michigan shoreline.
...WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH
SATURDAY MORNING...
* WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations between 6 and
12 inches possible, with the highest amounts in the Fox Valley and
lakeshore areas. Winds could gust in excess of 45 mph, especially
in the Fox Valley and lakeshore areas, where considerable blowing
and drifting snow and near-blizzard conditions are possible.
* WHERE...Portions of central, east central, north central, and
northeast Wisconsin.
* WHEN...From Friday morning through Saturday morning.
* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult to impossible. Widespread
blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility, and result in
near-blizzard conditions in the Fox Valley and lakeshore areas.
The hazardous conditions could impact the Friday morning and
evening commutes. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches, and
cause power outages.
