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.

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.

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!
