SHEBOYGAN – The community was busy plowing and shoveling snow early this week when a late-season winter storm dropped up to a foot of snow in some areas.
The National Weather Service estimates Sheboygan was hit with 9 inches of snow and surrounding communities were hit with up to 12 inches Sunday into Monday, when the city was under a snow emergency and many government buildings and schools were closed.
There is a small chance Sheboygan could see a little more snow through Wednesday, followed by a chance of freezing drizzle. The NWS said snow-covered roads will be slick into the Wednesday morning commute.
The rest of the week could usher in warmer temperatures with Friday reaching a high in the mid-50s and Saturday reaching a high in the 60s.
Before the heavy snowfall, the NWS Milwaukee/Sullivan station predicted the risk of spring flooding was near to below average for southern Wisconsin, but the Green Bay station predicts spring precipitation could be above normal this year.
The risk level may change based on individual weather events, according to NWS. The risk of flooding can increase with rapid snowmelt, heavy rain or late-season snow, especially on frozen ground.
