Green Bay drivers face a hazardous Monday morning as dense fog lowers visibility to a quarter mile across northeast Wisconsin, raising immediate travel concerns. Commuters should expect delays and dangerous driving conditions until 8 a.m., particularly on highways and rural roads. Officials urge drivers to slow down, use headlights, and leave extra distance.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 8 a.m. for east-central and northeast Wisconsin. After the fog lifts, scattered thunderstorms will develop along Highway 29 this afternoon and evening. Some storms may become severe, producing wind gusts over 50 mph and localized flooding.
Heavy rainfall could push storm drains to capacity, especially in urban areas like Green Bay, Appleton, and Oshkosh. Motorists on I-41 and U.S. 141 should plan for slick conditions by the evening commute. Emergency managers warn that localized flash flooding may affect smaller roadways and low-lying neighborhoods.
The storm pattern continues into Tuesday, with more showers possible in the early morning hours. Increasing clouds Tuesday night will keep conditions damp before a slow clearing trend begins midweek. By Thursday, drier weather returns, but cooler temperatures signal fall has fully arrived across northeast Wisconsin.
Residents are encouraged to monitor alerts through midweek as conditions could shift quickly. Spotters are asked to report hail, strong winds, or heavy rain to the National Weather Service office in Green Bay.
