Sheboygan County Weather Report: Snowstorm Coming Tomorrow

A significant winter storm will impact Sheboygan County Wednesday, bringing heavy snowfall and gusty winds. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect from Wednesday 12:00 PM until Thursday 3:00 AM for all of Sheboygan County​. Below is a town-by-town forecast, including expected snow totals, wind conditions (and drifting concerns), and any weather advisories. Official forecasts from the National Weather Service (NWS) and other sources have been used to ensure accuracy.

Sheboygan (City of Sheboygan)

• Snowfall: Light snow or flurries may develop late Tuesday night with little accumulation. The main event arrives Wednesday. Snow will intensify by Wednesday afternoon, with 5–8 inches of total accumulation expected by late Wednesday night. The heaviest snow is likely Wednesday afternoon and evening, potentially falling at 1+ inch per hour at times. Another round of light to moderate snow is possible Friday night into Saturday, which could add a few additional inches (forecast details are still developing). According to the NWS, snow Friday night “could be heavy at times,” tapering off by Saturday midday
• Wind & Drifting: Northeast winds around 5–15 mph on Wednesday will turn north 10–15 mph Wednesday night as the storm moves through​. While these wind speeds are moderate, occasional higher gusts (15–25 mph) may occur, especially near the lakeshore. Winds of this magnitude can cause patchy blowing and drifting snow in open areas. Expect reduced visibility during the height of the storm and some snowdrifts on rural roads. By Friday night, winds are forecast to shift to the south or northeast around 10–20 mph with the next system, which again could lead to minor drifting where snow is fresh.
• Advisories: A Winter Storm Warning is active for Sheboygan (and all of Sheboygan County) from noon Wednesday to 3 AM Thursday​due to the expected heavy snowfall. Travel will become difficult during this period. Residents should also stay alert for possible advisories late Friday if the second round of snow materializes – a Winter Weather Advisory may be issued for Friday night’s snowfall if a few inches are expected. Always check the latest NWS updates before traveling.

Sheboygan Falls

• Snowfall: Sheboygan Falls can expect similar conditions to the city of Sheboygan. Light flurries or very light snow might occur overnight Tuesday with negligible accumulation. On Wednesday, heavy snow is forecast with around 5–7 inches by late Wednesday night in town. NWS forecasts for Sheboygan Falls call for about 2–4 inches during the day Wednesday, with storm totals reaching 5–8 inches by the time snow ends. Snow will be heaviest in the afternoon and evening. Another period of snow is likely Friday night into Saturday; preliminary forecasts suggest a couple of additional inches possible. The snow Friday night could be briefly heavy, though confidence in exact amounts is lower (monitor forecasts for updates).
• Wind & Drifting: Winds will increase from the northeast at 10–15 mph on Wednesday, turning north by evening. These winds, while not extreme, will create some blowing snow. Sheboygan Falls is slightly inland, but open areas around the town (fields and roads) could see drifting where winds funnel through. Visibility may drop during gusts on Wednesday. By Friday night, winds may be 10–20 mph from the south or east as the next system arrives​. This could again lead to minor drifting and slick spots, especially on north-south oriented roads.
• Advisories: Sheboygan Falls is included in the county-wide Winter Storm Warning from Wed 12 PM to Thu 3 AM​. This means severe winter weather (heavy snow) is expected. Limit travel Wednesday afternoon/night if possible. No official advisory is in effect yet for Friday night, but stay tuned – if forecasts hold, a Winter Weather Advisory could be issued for the Friday night/Saturday snow. In any case, plan for winter driving conditions at week’s end.

Kohler

• Snowfall: The village of Kohler will experience conditions nearly identical to Sheboygan Falls, given their proximity. On Wednesday, steady snow is expected to begin by late morning and become heavy in the afternoon. Look for around 5–7 inches by Wednesday night in Kohler. The NWS indicates snowfall rates and totals in this area will be high, with near 100% chance of snow through Wednesday evening​ By early Thursday, the snow will taper off. Another snowfall is possible late Friday into Saturday; Kohler could see an additional 2–4 inches of snow, although this forecast will be refined as the event nears.
• Wind & Drifting: Winds in Kohler on Wednesday will be from the northeast at 10 mph, increasing to 15 mph later in the day. As the wind shifts north Wednesday night, blowing snow may become an issue on open stretches like Hwy 23 or County PP. Kohler’s more sheltered areas (with trees or buildings) will see less drifting, but outlying roads could accumulate drifts at the shoulders. By Friday night, winds could turn to the east or northeast around 15 mph with the new snow, contributing to some drifting and reduced visibility during that snowfall. Overall, use caution while driving in open areas when winds pick up; even gusts of ~20+ mph can create blowing and drifting snow.
• Advisories: Kohler is under the same Winter Storm Warning (Wed midday through early Thurs.)​. Ensure you complete any necessary travel or errands before the snow intensifies Wednesday afternoon. If the Friday night system develops as expected, the NWS may issue an advisory – keep an ear out for updates on Friday. Until then, Kohler residents should be prepared for another round of snow and plan accordingly.

Plymouth

• Snowfall: Plymouth, being inland in western Sheboygan County, will also receive significant snowfall. Expect approximately 5–8 inches from the Wednesday storm, with perhaps the higher end of that range if the heaviest band extends this far west. Snow should begin by midday Wednesday and become heavy by afternoon. The NWS forecast for the Plymouth area calls for 1–3 inches by Wednesday afternoon and additional snow Wednesday night, for a combined total of around half a foot. By Thursday morning, snow will have ended. Looking ahead, another system Friday night could bring several inches more to Plymouth – early estimates are on the order of 2–3 inches, but this could change. Be prepared for a snowy start to the weekend.
• Wind & Drifting: Winds in Plymouth during the storm will be similar to the rest of the county: generally northeast 10–15 mph, turning north by late Wednesday. Given Plymouth’s open rural surroundings, blowing snow may be more pronounced. Drifting is a concern on rural roads and highways around town (for example, Hwy 57 or 67) where fields allow snow to blow freely. Snowplow crews will likely need to re-clear some roads as drifts form. Wind speeds aren’t extreme, but even 15–20 mph gusts can create low visibility in blowing snow. For the Friday night snowfall, winds may come from the south or east at around 10 mph, so blowing snow might be less of an issue then, but some drifting could still occur north of town if winds pick up.
• Advisories: Plymouth is covered by the Winter Storm Warning through early Thursday. This means severe winter conditions (heavy snow, low visibility) are expected Wednesday into the night – travel with caution or postpone trips if possible. By Thursday the warning will expire as conditions improve. For the Friday night event, no warning is yet in place; however, keep an eye out for a possible Winter Weather Advisory if the forecasted snow amounts hold. Plymouth residents should stay informed of the latest forecasts toward the end of the week.

Cascade

• Snowfall: Cascade and surrounding southern towns (like Waldo and Adell) will get heavy snow on Wednesday as well. Forecasts indicate around 5–7 inches of snow by the time the storm ends early Thursday. Snow will likely start around late morning or midday Wednesday. South-central Sheboygan County could see slightly higher snowfall rates for a time Wednesday evening, so an isolated spot total around 8 inches isn’t out of the question if banding occurs. After a break on Thursday (mostly clear and cold), another disturbance could bring new snowfall Friday night into Saturday. Current outlooks suggest perhaps 2–4 inches for Cascade in that second round, but this is subject to adjustment as we get closer to the weekend.
• Wind & Drifting: Winds will be gusty from the northeast (10–15 mph) on Wednesday, shifting to north by night​. Cascade, being in a more rural and open part of the county, is prone to drifting snow. Expect to see snow blowing across County Road F and other open routes, especially Wednesday afternoon and night when snowfall is heaviest. Farm fields around the area will contribute to drifts forming, possibly covering some back roads. Visibility can drop under blowing snow, so use caution if driving during the storm. By Friday night, winds might come from the east or northeast at up to 15 mph, which could again cause some drifting during and after the new snow. Temperatures will remain cold enough that any snow will be powdery and easily blown by the wind.
• Advisories: Cascade and vicinity are under the Winter Storm Warning from Wednesday noon to early Thursday​. This is a heads-up for dangerous travel conditions during that period. Plan to stay off the roads Wednesday evening if you can, as blowing and accumulating snow will make driving difficult. For the Friday night/Saturday system, there are no official advisories yet, but conditions could warrant a Winter Weather Advisory if the snow is significant. Keep watch on updates; even if no warning is issued, remember that a few inches of snow on Friday night can still make roads slippery into Saturday.

Other Communities in Sheboygan County

• Snowfall: Other towns across Sheboygan County – including Oostburg, Random Lake, Howards Grove, Elkhart Lake, Cedar Grove, and everywhere in between – will all feel this winter storm. In general, 5 to 8 inches of snow is expected county-wide by early Thursday. Areas closer to Lake Michigan (such as Oostburg or Cedar Grove in the southeast, and the city of Sheboygan) could lean toward the higher end of that range, partly due to a bit of lake moisture enhancement. Areas on the far western edge of the county (near Random Lake or Elkhart Lake) might be closer to 5–6 inches if the very heaviest snow bands set up slightly east – but all towns should prepare for a half-foot of snow on average from this storm. The snow will be heavy and wet at first (during Wednesday around freezing), then becoming lighter and fluffier as temperatures drop Wednesday night (which will aid piling up). After a quiet Thursday, additional snow Friday night (likely on the order of a few inches) will affect all parts of the county again. So, by Saturday, most communities might see total new snowfall of 6–10 inches when combining the mid-week and late-week events, with higher uncertainty on the Friday night portion.
• Wind & Drifting: Across the county, northeasterly winds 10–15 mph Wednesday will become northerly by evening. Gusts may reach around 20 mph. Although this isn’t a full blizzard scenario, these winds will cause some drifting and blowing snow everywhere, especially in open countryside. North-south oriented roads and east-west open fields will accumulate drifts as the wind pushes the snow along. The NWS notes that even moderate winds (20–30 mph) can produce areas of blowing and drifting snow with fresh powder, so motorists should be prepared for snow-covered and drifted roads through Wednesday night. By Thursday, winds will subside somewhat (becoming west ~10 mph as skies clear). On Friday night, winds county-wide may shift to the southeast or east at roughly 10–15 mph as the next snow arrives​. This could lead to some drifting of the new snow, though likely less severe than Wednesday’s due to slightly lighter winds. Still, plan on slippery conditions through Saturday until road crews clear the new snowfall.
• Advisories: All of Sheboygan County is under the Winter Storm Warning for the Wednesday/Thursday storm​. This is an official alert that heavy snow (and some blowing snow) will create hazardous conditions. The warning means you should avoid unnecessary travel during the height of the storm and be prepared for possible power outages or other storm-related issues. Make sure emergency kits are ready and that you have a way to receive weather updates. After this storm, no advisories are currently posted for the rest of the week, but stay tuned for potential advisories or warnings on Friday. If the Friday night storm track holds, the NWS may issue a Winter Weather Advisory for portions of southern Wisconsin (possibly including Sheboygan County) to cover the expected snow Friday night into Saturday​. Even if no formal warning is in effect by the weekend, remember that winter weather can still be dangerous – use caution and allow extra time if you must travel.

Sheboygan County will experience a true taste of winter this week. Heavy snow on Wednesday (5–8 inches) will blanket all areas, with gusty northeast winds causing blowing and drifting snow​ (forecast.weather.gov). A Winter Storm Warning is in place to highlight the mid-week storm’s dangers​ (aos.wisc.edu). After the storm, frigid air will lead to lows around the lower teens Wednesday night, so any slushy snow will refreeze – be careful on untreated roads and sidewalks. Thursday will be calmer (cold but with some sun), allowing cleanup. Then Friday night into Saturday brings another chance of accumulating snow (a few inches possible) with breezy conditions returning​ (forecast.weather.gov). Residents of Sheboygan, Sheboygan Falls, Kohler, Plymouth, Cascade, and all towns in the county should prepare for difficult travel on Wednesday and again potentially Friday night. Stay informed via the National Weather Service and local news for the latest updates on advisories and snowfall predictions​ (aos.wisc.edu and forecast.weather.gov). By taking precautions and staying aware of the forecast, you can safely navigate this week’s winter weather. Stay warm and safe!
