URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
358 AM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

...MAJOR WINTER STORM CONTINUES TO PUMMEL THE AREA WITH HEAVY SNOW
AND MIXED WINTRY PRECIPITATION...

.An intense low pressure system located near Oshkosh early this
morning will track to eastern Upper Michigan by daybreak. Heavy
snow will continue across central and north-central Wisconsin.
The precipitation in the east will transition from a wintry mix

1158 AM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

...VERY STRONG WINDS TO CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON...
...TRAVEL HAS BECOME HAZARDOUS...

.An intense low pressure system located just east of Lake Superior
will move into southeast Ontario this afternoon. The heavy snow
had ended, however very strong west to northwest winds have
arrived. Sustained wind speeds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts of 40 to  
60 mph are likely this afternoon into early this evening. These 
strong winds will create white-out conditions in areas that 
receive significant snowfall. Damage to trees and power lines is 
likely in areas which received a significant coating of ice from 
freezing rain Saturday evening. Furthermore, temperatures have
begun to fall allowing any water on area roads to start to freeze.
Travel will be hazardous this afternoon into tonight. Many roads
are now ice-covered and dangerous, therefore motorists are urged
not to travel unless in an emergency.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this blizzard warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Green Bay, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Feb 24, 3:39 AM CST, 19 minutes earlier.

Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance

.SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Monday
Issued at 336 AM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

The main headline changes this morning will be to upgrade much of
the Winter Storm Warning to a Blizzard Warning, and to convert the
remaining Winter Weather Advisory near the Bay to a Winter Storm
Warning. Coding is shown below. Updated WSW will be out ASAP.

A Complete Forecast Discussion for this portion of the forecast
will follow a little later.

.LONG TERM...Monday Night Through Saturday
Issued at 336 AM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

Bitter cold temperatures are expected to start the period on
Tuesday, then temperatures should moderate some by the end of the
work week although should remain a few to several degrees below
normal. There are two systems to contend with, the first on
Tuesday/Wednesday and the other system Friday/Saturday. Over the
last several days, the ECMWF has bounced around with a feature
moving through the mean flow Tuesday into Wednesday. The run
tonight has a system moving across the area Tuesday night and
Wednesday. The GFS has been consistent with this feature, although
it does bring more to snow to the area than the ECMWF. At this
point, there should be at least a few inches of snow during this
period which will result in hazardous travel.

The system for Friday into Saturday is more impressive with
negative tilted 500mb trough, deepening surface low pressure
system across Michigan on Saturday, and coupled jet streak. This
system could bring several inches of snow to the region Only minor
changes made to max/min temperatures during the period.

.AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1053 PM CST Sat Feb 23 2019

Low pressure will move from Iowa to Lake Michigan overnight and
bring a mix of snow, freezing rain and rain to the area. Heavy
snow is likely north of a Wausau to Iron Mountain line with a
mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain further east to a Waupaca
to Marinette line. East of there will mostly be rain tonight,
though it will change to snow for a few hours around daybreak
Sunday.

Strong west winds of 25 to 35 knots with gusts to 50 knots will
produce crosswinds on north south runways Sunday through evening.
They will also produce low visibilities in blowing snow at places
that receive significant snowfall tonight.

Southern Oconto County-
857 PM CST Sat Feb 23 2019

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north-central and northeast
Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

A major late winter storm will bring widespread hazardous travel
conditions to the area tonight. Heavy snow is expected in north-
central Wisconsin. Snow and freezing rain are expected from
central through northeast Wisconsin. Mainly rain is expected along
the lakeshore and in east-central Wisconsin, but dense fog is
possible at times in these areas.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Saturday

Any lingering mixed precipitation will change to snow and the snow
will diminish. However, west to northwest winds of 25 to 35 mph
gusting over 50 mph will result in significant blowing and
drifting snow at locations that receive heavy snow overnight. The
winds could also result in damage to trees and power lines in
areas that develop a significant layer of glaze due to freezing
rain.

Cold air surging into the region in the wake of the storm, will
combine with the wind, to drive wind chill indices down to 20 to
30 below zero late Sunday night and Monday morning across the
entire area. Despite lower winds, colder temperatures will send
wind chill values down to 15 to 25 below zero Monday night and
Tuesday morning. Wind chills this low indicate that exposed skin
can suffer frostbite in as little as 30 minutes. Wind Chill
Advisory headlines will probably be needed Sunday night and may be
needed Monday night.

Light snow may cause hazardous travel across the region Tuesday
afternoon into Wednesday morning and again Friday into next
Saturday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are requested to forward snowfall measurements or icing
to the National Weather Service in Green Bay.

CONTINUE OVERNIGHT...

Rain will continue into early Sunday morning, before changing to
snow. Although air temperatures are at or slightly above freezing,
the ground remains cold from the recent cold nights. Reports from
sheriff's departments across the region indicated icy spots on
area roadways. Also, due to poor drainage, ponding of water was
also noted on highways and in urban areas where storm drains are
still clogged from recent snowfalls.

If you are traveling overnight, slow down and allow extra time to
reach your destination. Black ice is hard to detect! Ponding of
water on roadways may cause you to hydroplane and lose control of
your car.

...FREEZING RAIN HAS CHANGED OVER TO SNOW EARLY THIS MORNING...

The freezing rain has changed over to snow this morning. Ice
accumulations across central and portions of north-central
Wisconsin ranged from a tenth to half inch.

Snow, which may be heavy at times with visibilities of a quarter
of a mile or less will continue towards daybreak. Snowfall rates
of 1 to 2 inches per hour can be expected with the band of heavy
snow. The combination of the heavy snow this morning and icing
from last evening will continue to produce very difficult travel

...ICE OR SNOW COVERED ROADS AND PONDING OF WATER ON AREA
ROADWAYS WILL CONTINUE EARLY THIS MORNING...

A mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow will continue early
this morning before changing to all snow around sunrise. With
temperatures hovering around freezing, any mixed precipitation
will cause roads to be slick due to a light accumulation of snow
or rain freezing on pavements due to cold ground temperatures.
The latest highway reports indicated ice covered conditions on
Interstate 43 from Green Bay to Sheboygan and on Highway 10 from
Appleton to Manitowoc. Many other roads across east-central
Wisconsin were reported to have slick spots due to freezing rain.

Also, ponding of water is expected to continue this morning as
the deep snow pack has caused poor drainage on area highways and
in urban areas where storm drains are still clogged from recent
snowfalls.

If you are traveling early this morning, slow down and allow extra
time to reach your destination. Black ice is hard to detect! Ponding
of water on roadways may cause you to hydroplane and lose control
of your car.
