Green Bay, Wisconsin – While mild temperatures this weekend may make it feel like spring in Wisconsin, the National Weather Service in Green Bay is warning that a large winter storm could impact the state in the middle of next week. The storm is expected to move across the Midwest, with snow and freezing rain likely to affect travel, especially along major roads like I-43.
The storm, which is predicted to occur Tuesday night through Friday, has a growing likelihood of bringing significant snowfall, with 4 or more inches possible by Thursday evening. While exact details remain uncertain, the greatest impacts are expected to occur on Wednesday and Thursday, when heavy snow and periods of freezing rain may make driving hazardous.
In terms of travel, the NWS advises motorists to monitor the forecast closely for any changes, especially if traveling along highways like I-43 or I-41. While the snowstorm is still several days out, it is expected that road conditions will deteriorate quickly as the storm moves through, leading to possible disruptions to commutes.
The NWS also warns of the potential for freezing rain, which could create slick spots on roads and bridges, particularly on Tuesday night. While the precise track of the storm is still being fine-tuned, travelers are advised to be prepared for winter weather and adjust travel plans as needed.
For now, the NWS recommends staying updated on the latest forecasts through social media and official alerts to ensure you’re prepared for what could be a significant winter storm.
