GREEN BAY – The National Weather Service Green Bay has issued a winter storm watch, indicating a high likelihood of significant snowfall in the area. Forecasters predict that more than 6 inches of snow will blanket Green Bay on Thursday, potentially causing disruptions to daily routines and travel plans.
As of the latest update, Green Bay currently stands a 49% chance of receiving 6 inches or more of snow accumulation between 6 a.m. on Thursday and Friday afternoon. This represents a notable increase from earlier projections, where the city had initially been given an 84% chance of seeing at least 2 inches of snow by Friday morning, with a 50% probability of receiving 4 inches.
Looking ahead, the Green Bay area forecast anticipates a lighter snowfall of around 1 inch on Tuesday night, setting the stage for the more substantial snowstorm expected on Thursday. The National Weather Service Green Bay warns that most of northeast Wisconsin is likely to experience heavy snowfall over the next two days, with total accumulations estimated to range between 5 and 7 inches. While some minor flurries were observed on Tuesday night, they are dwarfed by the impending storm system.
Impacts from the severe weather conditions are expected to be felt during both the Thursday morning and evening commutes, potentially leading to treacherous road conditions. The National Weather Service emphasizes the hazardous nature of the situation and advises residents to exercise caution while traveling.
In addition to the heavy snow, strong winds are also predicted to accompany the storm, with gusts reaching up to 25 mph by late Thursday evening. The combination of heavy snowfall and high winds is likely to reduce visibility, further complicating travel and outdoor activities.
The prolonged snow cover resulting from this storm may pave the way for a picturesque white Christmas in Green Bay. Meteorologist Gus Kaiser of the National Weather Service Green Bay suggests that the snow is expected to linger on the ground for the next week, creating a festive atmosphere for the holiday season.
Following a brief period of milder temperatures, a notable drop in the mercury is forecasted for the upcoming days. The National Weather Service provides the following temperature projections:
– Wednesday: High of 31°F, low of 16°F.
– Thursday: High of 27°F, low of 20°F.
– Friday: High of 27°F, low of 10°F.
