A winter storm warning has been issued that could impact post-holiday travel beginning Saturday morning and lasting through Sunday in a large part of the State.
Heavy snow is expected in Northeast Wisconsin. Total snow accumulation between 6 and 9 inches locally, with higher amounts near the Lake Michigan shoreline where more than 10 inches are possible, particularly over Kewaunee county.
Waushara, Calumet, Manitowoc, Winnebago, Brown, Door, Kewaunee, Outagamie, and Waupaca Counties are all affected. The Winter Storm Warning lasts from 9 a.m. Saturday to 6 a.m. Sunday.
Travel could be very difficult at times. The heaviest snow is anticipated to fall late Saturday afternoon and into Saturday evening. Holiday travelers and hunters should be prepared for snow covered roads and low visibility.
Door County Sheriffs say that if you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, and water in your vehicle in case of emergency. Stay updated on the latest road conditions and allow extra time and preparation for your trip.
