...HEAVY SNOW CONTINUED TO FALL ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL...NORTHEAST...AND

PORTIONS OF CENTRAL WISCONSIN...



A strengthening low pressure system centered near Lone Rock at 

400 am was producing widespread precipitation across Wisconsin. 

The precipitation will continue through the early morning 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. At 400 am, the rain/snow line extended from near

Marshfield to Menominee County to near Wausaukee. It is expected

to remain nearly stationary for the next few hours before 

beginning to shift back to the southeast. Locations near the 

transition zone could also experience some sleet.



In areas receiving snow, the snow will continue to be heavy at 

times. Snowfall rates exceeding 1 inch per hour are possible, 

especially through 600 am. Northeast winds will also continue to 

gradually increase in these areas, and will result in some 

blowing and drifting of the snow. Travel conditions were becoming

difficult, and the morning commute is likely to be severely

impacted by the snow. Be sure to use extra caution, and allow for

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 steady heavy rain will diminish to scattered

showers during the next several hours.



The gauge reading at the mouth of the Fox River in Green Bay

indicated that the level of the Bay had reached the point where

lowland flooding was likely occurring along the western shore of

the Bay. That will continue into mid-morning, but winds over the

southern Bay will decrease after daybreak as the low pressure

system nears the area, so flooding should begin to ease later

this morning.
