Wisconsin — Snowflakes, gusty winds and near freezing temperatures are bringing an early taste of winter to northeastern Wisconsin. Green Bay faces intermittent snow showers through Friday morning, while portions of Door County could see accumulating lake effect snow.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, a hazardous weather outlook issued Wednesday, November 11, highlights scattered lake effect snow across far north central Wisconsin.
The outlook also identifies Thursday and Friday as periods when lake effect snow could accumulate in portions of Door County.
For some communities, it could be the first measurable snowfall of the season.
Lake Effect Snow Could Affect Door County The National Weather Service reports that lake effect snow will occur intermittently across far north central Wisconsin and the Door Peninsula.
Some accumulation is possible Friday morning, particularly in Door County.
However, the hazardous weather outlook does not specify snowfall totals.
Impacts from the initial light snow across far north central Wisconsin were expected to be minimal.
Drivers traveling Wisconsin Highway 42, Highway 57 and rural Door County roads should remain alert for changing visibility and localized slippery surfaces.
Snowfall amounts can vary considerably over short distances during lake effect events.
Green Bay Faces Snow Showers and 30 MPH Gusts Thursday, November 12, brings a slight chance of showers before 11 a.m., followed by sprinkles through 5 p.m.
Temperatures should reach approximately 42 degrees.
North winds could gust as high as 30 mph, making conditions feel colder across exposed areas.

Temperatures fall toward 31 degrees, with northwest winds gusting to 21 mph.
Friday brings a slight chance of snow showers before 7 a.m., followed by possible flurries through 8 a.m.
The precipitation chance remains 20%, with a high near 41 degrees.
Freezing Temperatures Continue Into the Weekend Saturday, November 14, offers a welcome improvement.
Partly sunny skies should help Green Bay reach approximately 44 degrees.
However, temperatures fall near 30 degrees Saturday night.

What About More Snow Before Thanksgiving? The NOAA Weather Prediction Center reports that polar air is spreading across the eastern United States.
Cold northwest winds crossing the Great Lakes are expected to generate additional lake effect precipitation.
The heaviest snow is forecast across higher terrain in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
For Green Bay, the supplied local outlook becomes drier after Friday, with sunshine returning through early next week.
Additional snow later in November remains possible, but no specific new event is established in the local forecast through Wednesday.
