A powerful winter storm is set to impact Northeast Wisconsin starting Saturday evening and lasting through Monday. The storm is expected to bring heavy accumulating snow, sleet, and strong easterly winds to the region. Residents are advised to prepare for hazardous travel conditions and potential power outages.
Why it matters
This winter storm has the potential to be a high-impact event, with the possibility of significant snowfall, mixed precipitation, and gusty winds. It could disrupt travel, cause power outages, and force school and business closures across Northeast Wisconsin.
The details
The storm is forecast to begin with an initial push of snow on Saturday evening, with 3-6 inches expected by daybreak on Sunday. As the low-pressure system tracks just south of the area, the atmosphere will warm enough to create a mix of sleet, ice pellets, and rain, especially south and east of the Fox River Valley. However, the Northwoods is expected to see all snow. An additional 3-6 inches of snow/sleet/ice pellets is anticipated through Sunday. Another change to all snow is expected Sunday night, with an additional 6-12 inches forecast before the storm wraps up midday Monday. Winds are also expected to gust out of the east at 35-40 mph, before shifting more northeasterly later on Sunday night.
- The WINTER STORM WARNING will go into effect at 7 PM on Saturday and last into Monday afternoon.
- An initial 3-6 inches of snow is expected by daybreak on Sunday.
