Green Bay, WI – A mid-week winter system is set to bring a messy mix of rain, snow, and freezing rain across northeast Wisconsin beginning Tuesday night and continuing through Wednesday night.
According to the US National Weather Service in Green Bay, areas along and south of Highway 29 — including Green Bay, Appleton, and Oshkosh — are expected to see mostly rain Tuesday night through much of Wednesday. However, communities farther north, including Rhinelander, Iron Mountain, and Escanaba, face a greater likelihood of a wintry mix and periods of freezing rain.
Forecasters say precipitation will gradually transition to mostly snow late Wednesday night, with the highest snowfall potential concentrated near the Upper Peninsula border. Some northern locations could see more than 2 inches of accumulation.
The greatest icing potential appears across far northern Wisconsin into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Ice accumulation amounts remain uncertain, and officials note that the exact coverage of freezing rain may shift as the system develops.
Travel impacts are possible during the Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning commutes, especially north of Highway 29 where slick roads could develop. Drivers are urged to monitor updated forecasts and allow extra time for travel.
