Green Bay, WI –A potent midweek winter storm is set to impact Wisconsin, bringing a mix of heavy snow, freezing rain, and strong winds from late Tuesday night through Wednesday night. The system will move from northwest to southeast, with areas in far northern Wisconsin seeing a wintry mix while central and northeastern regions experience heavy snowfall.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Green Bay, snow accumulations exceeding 6 inches are possible in some areas, especially in north-central and far northeastern Wisconsin. Gusty winds of 30 to 40 mph could cause blowing snow and reduce visibility, leading to hazardous travel conditions. Sporadic power outages may also occur.
Rain is expected to transition into snow throughout the day Wednesday, worsening road conditions. Travelers are advised to plan ahead, as icy roads and strong winds will create treacherous driving conditions. Officials recommend staying updated with local forecasts and preparing for potential delays and disruptions.
Residents should secure outdoor objects, stock up on essentials, and use caution when traveling. The storm is expected to move out of the region by late Wednesday night, with improving conditions into Thursday.
