Sheboygan Prepares for First Measurable Snow of the Season

|

Southeast Wisconsin, including Sheboygan County, is gearing up for its first significant snowfall of the season. Starting Wednesday, November 20, and continuing into Thursday, November 21, the area will experience a mix of snow and rain, with some measurable accumulation expected.

Wednesday Afternoon: A Wintry Preview

  • Snow Showers: Scattered snow showers will begin developing during the afternoon hours on Wednesday.
  • Lakeshore Weather: Along the lakeshore, rain will likely mix with or dominate over snow due to milder temperatures.
  • Minor Impacts: Reduced visibility is possible in heavier snow showers, but overall impacts should remain minimal.

Thursday Morning: Snowy Commute Ahead

The primary snowfall event will hit Thursday morning, bringing more significant winter conditions:

  • Snow Totals: 1-2 inches of heavy, wet snow are expected, particularly in areas farther from the lake. Closer to the lakeshore, accumulations will likely be less than an inch.
  • Windy Conditions: Northwest winds gusting up to 40 mph will create hazardous visibility and challenging travel.
  • Roads and Grass: Snow will mostly accumulate on grassy areas, but slushy roads are possible if snowfall intensifies.

Thursday Evening: Rain Takes Over

By the evening commute on Thursday, warmer air will transition snow into rain. This should help clear roadways, but the wet conditions will still require cautious driving.

What to Watch For

  • Sheboygan: Approximately 1 inch of accumulation is expected, mainly on grassy surfaces.
  • Northwestern Areas: Higher totals of up to 2 inches could occur in areas farther inland.
  • Travel Tips: Reduced visibility and slushy roads could slow the Thursday morning commute, so plan ahead and allow extra time.

This early snowfall marks the start of winter weather in Sheboygan County. Stay informed, stay safe, and prepare for changing road conditions as the season settles in. Have your winter gear ready—it’s time to welcome the first snow of the season!
