Green Bay, Wisconsin – A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect across portions of northeast Wisconsin, with light ice and snow expected to impact travel during the Monday evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, the advisory runs from 3 p.m. Monday to 3 a.m. Tuesday. Forecasters expect mixed precipitation, including light freezing rain and snow. Ice accumulations are forecast to remain under one-tenth of an inch, with snowfall totals under one inch.
The advisory covers Oneida, Vilas, Door, Florence, Forest, northern Marinette, northern Oconto, and southern Marinette counties. Communities within the alert area include Sturgeon Bay, Rhinelander, Crandon, Eagle River, Niagara, Mountain, Lakewood, Spread Eagle, and surrounding rural areas.
While accumulations are expected to be light, officials warn that even minimal ice can lead to hazardous driving conditions. Roads such as WI-42 in Door County, US-8 near Rhinelander, WI-70 in Vilas County, and US-141 in Marinette and Oconto counties may become slick, particularly on bridges, overpasses, and untreated surfaces.
The National Weather Service said the most significant impacts are expected Monday evening, when temperatures hover near freezing and traffic volumes are higher. Drivers are urged to slow down, increase following distance, and allow extra travel time. Pedestrians should also use caution, as sidewalks, stairs, and driveways may become icy.
No widespread power outages are anticipated due to the limited ice amounts, but patchy slick spots may be difficult to see after sunset.
The advisory may be especially relevant for commuters, students, and evening shift workers traveling Monday night.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts and local road conditions as weather conditions evolve. Additional information is available at weather.gov/GreenBay.
