Gone Today...Here Tomorrow

This is our backyard today:




Tomorrow:
..WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY EVENING 
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON... 

* SOME LIGHT SNOW COULD DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL AND NORTH-CENTRAL 
WISCONSIN TUESDAY DURING THE DAY...BUT THE SIGNIFICANT SNOW IS 
EXPECTED TO FALL TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THE SNOW COULD BE 
HEAVY AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY 
WEDNESDAY MORNING. 

* SNOWFALL TOTALS OF 4 TO 7 INCHES ARE EXPECTED SOUTH OF A 
STURGEON BAY TO WISCONSIN RAPIDS LINE...WHILE TOTALS OF 8 TO 12 
INCHES ARE EXPECTED NORTH OF THIS LINE BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. 
SNOWFALL TOTALS ARE STILL SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN ACROSS PORTIONS 
OF CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST WISCONSIN DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF WARM 
AIR WORKING INTO THE REGION. THE AMOUNT OF WARM AIR WILL 
SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT PRECIPITATION TYPES AND SNOWFALL TOTALS 
IN THIS REGION. 

* STRONG EAST WINDS TUESDAY NIGHT MAY CAUSE SOME BLOWING AND 
DRIFTING OF THE SNOW...LEADING TO FURTHER TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. 
SLEET MIXING IN WITH THE SNOW TOWARDS WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL 
LEAD TO A HEAVY WET SNOWFALL WHICH WILL BE DIFFICULT TO SHOVEL 
OR PLOW. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT 
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO CAUSE BLOWING AND 
DRIFTING OF THE SNOW. THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND BLOWING AND 
DRIFTING SNOW COULD SEVERELY IMPACT TRAVEL. BE SURE TO CLOSELY 
MONITOR FORECASTS ON THIS DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM. 


Just a reminder to us that winter is not over!
