Green Bay, WI – Residents across much of Wisconsin are urged to take immediate precautions as dangerously cold wind chills grip the region Monday morning, with conditions expected to remain hazardous through midday.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, a Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect from 3 a.m. to noon CST Monday, impacting a wide swath of the state including north-central, northeast, and east-central Wisconsin.
Wind chills are expected to drop as low as 30 degrees below zero in parts of Vilas, Oneida, Forest, Lincoln, Langlade, Marathon, Wood, and Portage counties, with other areas including Outagamie, Brown, Winnebago, Manitowoc, Shawano, Waupaca, and Waushara counties seeing wind chills near 25 below zero.
Cities under the advisory include Wausau, Wisconsin Rapids, Marshfield, Stevens Point, Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, Manitowoc, Neenah, Menasha, Shawano, and Wautoma, among many others across the region.
Meteorologists warn that exposure to these conditions could lead to frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 to 30 minutes, especially during the early morning hours. Outdoor travel, school commutes, and work shifts may be affected as residents brace for the coldest part of the day.
The National Weather Service recommends limiting time outdoors when possible and wearing multiple layers of clothing, including hats and gloves, if travel is unavoidable. Drivers are also urged to ensure vehicles are winter-ready and to carry emergency cold-weather supplies.
Temperatures are expected to gradually improve later Monday afternoon, but officials caution that lingering cold conditions may continue to pose risks into the evening hours.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and updates throughout the morning as conditions evolve.
