...HEAVY SNOW FALLING IN NORTH-CENTRAL...NORTHEAST...AND PORTIONS

OF CENTRAL WISCONSIN...



A strengthening low pressure system centered near Dubuque, Iowa at

200 am was producing widespread precipitation across Wisconsin.

The precipitation will continue overnight as the low tracks toward

east-central Wisconsin.



The precipitation was snow in the north and rain across east- 

central and portions of central Wisconsin where temperatures were 

a little warmer. The rain/snow line extended from near Marshfield 

to Menominee County to near Wausaukee. The rain/snow line is 

expected to edge a little farther north in the next couple hours, 

then become stationary for a few hours before shifting back to the

southeast. Locations near the transition zone that had air 

temperatures near freezing cold receive a little freezing rain or 

freezing drizzle.



In areas receiving snow, the snow will be heavy at times. Snowfall

rates exceeding 1 inch per hour are possible, especially between 

300 am and 600 am. Northeast winds will also continue to increase 

in these areas, and will result in some blowing and drifting of 

the snow. Travel conditions will continue to deteriorate 

overnight, and very difficult travel conditions are likely for the

morning commute. Be sure to use extra caution, and allow for a 

considerably slower than normal travel times.



Areas in central and east-central Wisconsin that receive rain 

could see some ponding of water in low spots on roads, especially 

in urban areas where storm sewer grates may be obstructed by

remaining leaves. The heaviest rains are expected to shift through

the area between 200 am and 500 am.
