Turbulent winter weather is headed our way, expeccted to bring varying amounts of snow, sleet, and howling winds to Wisconsin today into Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
The first of two anticipated weekend storms is proceeding as expected across northern Wisconsin. Radar imagery indicates the position of the low-pressure system is responsible for both the elevated wind speeds and deteriorating road conditions. Travel is expected to be unpleasant north of a line from Green Bay to Minneapolis. Motorists in this area are strongly encouraged to allow additional travel time today.
The second storm system is also tracking as expected. A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from 7:00 PM tomorrow through 4:00 PM Monday — a 45-hour period of hazardous conditions. This system presents a particularly complex forecasting challenge due to anticipated transitions in precipitation type and the uncertainty surrounding their timing. Sharp, localized boundaries are expected between areas experiencing freezing rain, rain, sleet, and snow.
Wisconsinites are strongly advised to avoid travel on Sunday. Any improvement in conditions later in the day should be considered favorable but not anticipated. Completing necessary travel and errands by Saturday evening is highly recommended.
