Easter is forecast to reach a high of the low 60s, with some cloud cover and a chance of rain.Ī high-pressure system across the central US, along with southerly winds will warm up Wisconsin even more, with "the first 60s and 70s of the year," Eckberg said. The band of heaviest snow could still shift north or south by as much as a hundred miles, Eckberg said. There's still a lot of uncertainty about where the final storm track would end up. Some parts of the Northwoods have even had flurries in early June. One of the most notable was a blizzard on April 13-15, 2018 that dropped nearly 2 feet of heavy snow on Green Bay.Įckberg said the latest snowfall on record for Green Bay was on May 28, 1947. Wisconsin, of course, is no stranger to such storms this late in the year. Well see lots of sunshine Saturday with highs in the mid 70s. Well warm back up Friday with a partly cloudy sky and highs in the low 70s. Some of you could remain in the upper 50s for highs. Well be cloudy and breezy with highs in the low 60s. Looking ahead, we get even cooler on Thursday. What's causing this, and is it normal?Ī warm front in southern Wisconsin combined with "upper-level disturbance" is what's causing the storm to come in, Eckberg said. Winds could gust up to 20 mph out of the north. The Wolf River near Shiocton and New London is expected to remain at or near flood stage through all of next week. The National Weather Service predicts the Oconto River will remain in flood stage until Saturday. As snowmelt continues with warmer temperatures next week, the water could remain high for several days. A Flood Warning has been issued for the Oconto and Wolf rivers, especially near the communities of Shiocton, New London and Oconto.īoth rivers at these locations are already above flood stage. The possibility for flooding along already-rising rivers will increase. What impacts will the weather have?ĭriving during the storm will likely be difficult, with slippery, snow-covered roads and low visibility. However, it could still end "as a little freezing drizzle," Eckberg said. The snow will taper off and change back to rain before 9 a.m. The areas surrounding those regions ― Green Bay, Sturgeon Bay, the Fox Cities, Stevens Point, Marshfield and Waupaca - are forecast to see 1 to 3 inches of snowfall.īoth sides of the storm will see a sharp cutoff if the existing track holds: south of Marshfield, Appleton and Two Rivers, and north of Irma and Wausaukee aren't likely to see more than a few flurries. These regions are expected to get at least 3 inches of snow and could see up to 6. The heaviest snow is expected to fall in near Wausau, Antigo, Mountain, Shawano and Oconto. While the storm could start off as some rain, the snow is expected to start flying late Friday evening, said Roy Eckberg, meterologist with the National Weather Service.
