Tuesday, November 29th, much of Wisconsin (especially Southeastern Wisconsin) experience some very strong wind associated with a storm system situated in the Ohio River Valley. Peak gusts in Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha were all above 50 mph! A wind advisory was issued for most of SE Wisconsin with the tight pressure gradient and lakeshore communities were hit the hardest. No damage has been confirmed from these winds.
It looks like most of Wisconsin will get its first snowfall of the season this week and weekend. Thursday night and into Friday parts of northern Wisconsin including Wausau, Stevens Point, and Green Bay could all see anywhere from a trace to a few inches of snow. The southern tier of the state will only experience a few flurries or snow showers ---the biggest reason is lack of moisture! High pressure will settle in nicely and give us a great day on Friday but this weekends storm could give us a better chance of snow. This storm system will be significant as portions of Wisconsin, anywhere north and west of highway 151 could see accumulating snow. Green Bay, Fox Valley, and parts of Madison could see 2”-4” out of this system but the Milwaukee Metro could see up to an inch or two of snow where they will see rain to start. By Saturday night all the rain will switch over to snow and places like Wausau, Eau Claire, Rhinelander, La Crosse, and Iron Mountain could see near 6” of snow out of this system. Since it is still a few days out those numbers are still well up in the air and we’ll have a much better idea come Friday and early Saturday.
Make sure to get those shovels ready, snow blower’s serviced, and your tires chained because we could have a fun weekend on our hands!
