Green Bay, WI – A winter storm is set to impact northern Wisconsin beginning late Tuesday night, bringing heavy snow, ice, and strong winds that could make travel dangerous through Wednesday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, a Winter Storm Watch remains in effect for Langlade, Lincoln, Oneida, Vilas, Florence, and Forest counties. Snow accumulations between 5 and 8 inches are possible, along with a light glaze of ice. Winds may gust as high as 35 mph, leading to blowing snow and reduced visibility.
The storm’s impacts could cause hazardous road conditions and potential power outages due to heavy snow accumulating on tree limbs and power lines. Both the Wednesday morning and evening commutes are expected to be difficult.
Residents in affected areas should prepare by securing emergency supplies, avoiding unnecessary travel, and monitoring weather updates. Those who must drive should exercise caution and allow extra travel time.
