Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service Green Bay WI 242 PM CST Fri Feb 18 2022 WIZ005-010>013-018>022-030-031-035>040-045-048>050-073-074-192045- Vilas-Oneida-Forest-Florence-Northern Marinette County-Lincoln- Langlade-Menominee-Northern Oconto County-Door-Marathon-Shawano- Wood-Portage-Waupaca-Outagamie-Brown-Kewaunee-Waushara-Winnebago- Calumet-Manitowoc-Southern Marinette County- Southern Oconto County- 242 PM CST Fri Feb 18 2022 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north-central and northeast Wisconsin. .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight Travel for the evening commute will be affected this afternoon and evening as light to moderate snowfall spreads across the region. One to three inches of accumulation is forecast north of a Marshfield to Wausau to Shawano to Wausaukee line. Less than one inch is expected south and east of this line. Even though snowfall totals may be lighter for much of the rest of the area, a very brief period of moderate to heavy snow will be possible. The heavy snowfall rates may drastically reduce visibility and result in quickly changing road conditions this afternoon into early this evening. Areas of blowing and drifting snow may linger tonight as a result of strong winds gusting as high as 50 mph. Winds will initially be from the southwest this afternoon, then veer to the west and northwest by early evening. The strong winds may also cause isolated damage to trees and powerlines resulting in sporadic power outages. Travel may be difficult for those traveling in high profile vehicles, especially on north to south oriented roadways. Wind chill readings will drop to 20 below to 25 below zero across central and north-central Wisconsin late tonight through early Saturday morning due to cold temperatures and lingering winds. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Friday A prolonged period of light to moderate snow is possible from Monday afternoon through Tuesday night. In addition, gusty northeast winds may result in blowing and drifting snow in the Fox Valley and lakeshore areas. This would result in an extended period of hazardous travel. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters are requested to report snowfall amounts greater than one inch or wind gusts greater than 40 mph to the National Weather Service tonight. LMZ521-522-541>543-192045- The Bay of Green Bay south of a line from Cedar River MI to Rock Island Passage-Lake Michigan from Washington Island to Sheboygan- 242 PM CST Fri Feb 18 2022 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of northwest Lake Michigan and the waters of Green Bay. .DAY ONE...Tonight Gales force gusts are expected tonight into Saturday morning.

A band of light to moderate snow over north central Wisconsin will move across the rest of northeast, central and east central Wisconsin this afternoon. The snow should overspread the Fox Valley area between 3 pm and 4 pm. Most locations will likely see an inch or less of snow accumulation with this band, but visibilities will drop to less than one-half mile for a brief period, and roads will quickly become snow covered and slippery. Winds will also gust to 30 to 40 mph at times, causing areas of blowing snow in open areas. Wind gusts will become even stronger as a cold front moves through during the late afternoon and evening, with gusts likely reaching 45 to 50 mph. Motorists should expect travel conditions to become hazardous across the region this afternoon, with poor driving conditions anticipated for the evening commute. Motorists should use extreme caution, and be prepared for a slow commute. Kieckbusch
