NWS sends warning for hazardous weather this weekend
While heavy snowfall will sail north of the Door peninsula, the National Weather Service still believes there is plenty to keep your eye on over the next few days. The agency’s office in Green Bay issued a hazardous weather outlook for its area, starting with a chance for thunderstorms on Friday afternoon and into the night. The freezing temperatures and a wintery mix that might include hail could make travel slippery overnight. With a slight reprieve during the day on Saturday, hazardous travel conditions could return late Saturday into Sunday due to a wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow, with ice accumulations of up to four-tenths of an inch of ice possible. This could also damage trees and cause power outages. Parts of north-central and far northeastern Wisconsin are included in a winter storm watch, but as of Friday morning, Door and Kewaunee counties are not included. Minor flooding is also a possibility due to the precipitation.
