Issued by The National Weather Service Green Bay, WI Updated Jan 24, 2014, 6:40pm CST SEVERAL PERIODS OF SNOW EXPECTED FROM TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY... THEN ANOTHER MAJOR ARCTIC SURGE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK MORE SNOW IS EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT AS ANOTHER ARCTIC COLD FRONT DROPS OVER THE STATE OVERNIGHT. AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW IS ANTICIPATED OVER MOST LOCATIONS WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS TOWARD VILAS COUNTY. BLUSTERY SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL SHIFT NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT. THE BLUSTERY WINDS... COMBINED WITH THE NEW SNOW FALL... WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE AREAS OF DRIFTING SNOW ON AREA ROADWAYS... ESPECIALLY OVER OPEN RURAL AREAS. COLD TEMPERATURES LATER TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO HINDER THE EFFORTS OF HIGHWAY CREWS TO TREAT THE ROADWAYS... SO TRAVEL COULD BE IMPACTED. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM COULD BRING A FEW INCHES OF SNOW TO THE AREA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. INCREASING NORTHWEST WINDS SUNDAY NIGHT WILL ALSO LEAD TO BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF THE FRESH SNOW. ANYONE WITH TRAVEL PLANS DURING THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEKEND SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR LATER FORECASTS FOR POTENTIAL HEADLINES. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EVENT IS LIKELY TO BE ANOTHER MAJOR ARCTIC SURGE EARLY NEXT WEEK. BITTERLY COLD AIR WILL SURGE BACK INTO THE AREA IN THE WAKE OF SUNDAY/S STORM. THIS TIME... THE CORE OF THE COLD AIR WILL BE DRIVEN SOUTHWARD DIRECTLY ACROSS THE AREA... MUCH AS IT WAS EARLIER IN THE MONTH. IT APPEARS TEMPERATURES WILL BE UNABLE TO RISE ABOVE ZERO MONDAY OR TUESDAY. WHEN COMBINED WITH GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS... WIND CHILLS MAY DROP AS LOW AS 45 BELOW ZERO BY TUESDAY MORNING. BE SURE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS FOR UPDATED INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILL EXPECTED IN YOUR AREA.
