This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north-central and northeast
Wisconsin.
.DAY ONE...Tonight
Heavy lake effect snow will continue over Vilas County. Additional
snowfall tonight will range from a few inches over southern Vilas
County, to as much as 4 to 7 inches in the snowbelts of northern
Vilas County. Northwest winds gusting over 30 mph will lead to
blowing and drifting snow in open areas. The winds and snow could
produce additional power outages across Vilas County. Travel over
far north-central WI, and into northwest WI and western Upper
Michigan will remain be very difficult due to the heavy lake
effect snow.
Away from the lake effect snow in Vilas County, patchy snow and
blowing snow will reduce visibility to less than a mile at times
into the early overnight hours. Where roads are not snow covered,
black ice may occur as residual moisture from the recent snow
freezes up as temperatures fall through the night.
Wind gusts up to 50 mph remain possible across Door County through
the night. Additional power outages could occur.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Wednesday
Lake effect snow will continue to lead to hazardous travel over
north-central Wisconsin Thanksgiving Day into Thanksgiving night.
Confidence is increasing for accumulating snow across the region
on Saturday and Saturday night.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotters are requested to forward snowfall measurements and wind
gusts greater than 40 mph to the National Weather Service in
Green Bay.
