Special Weather Statement 12/17/2024 12:46 for Wisconsin areas

A strong clipper system is expected to bring widespread snow to all of northeast Wisconsin Thursday into Thursday night. Current indications for timing are that the snow will begin around daybreak on Thursday over central Wisconsin, spreading to northeast Wisconsin and the lakeshore by midday Thursday. Snow will continue through the afternoon and evening, before diminishing late Thursday night for all but far northeast Wisconsin and the lakeshore. The snow could fall heavy at times Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening. A snowfall that will require shoveling and/or plowing is expected. This will be the largest widespread snow that has occurred over the area since last winter. The track of the clipper low could still change which would alter where the heaviest snow ends up. Even with this uncertainty where heaviest snow occurs, expect the Thursday evening commute, and possibly the Friday morning commute to be impacted. Stay tuned for later forecasts and statements as details for this system become more refined within the next 24 to 36 hours. Winter weather advisories, watches or warnings may be needed.
