Green Bay, WI – A strong winter storm is set to impact northeast Wisconsin beginning Tuesday night, bringing widespread rain, accumulating snow, and strong winds through Wednesday night.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Green Bay, the storm will develop late Tuesday and persist into Wednesday evening. Forecasters warn of a wintry mix, with the potential for heavy snow primarily in north-central Wisconsin. Increased winds will likely cause blowing snow and hazardous travel conditions.
Monday will remain calm and partly cloudy, with temperatures ranging from the low 40s to mid-50s. However, by Tuesday night, temperatures will drop as precipitation moves in, creating slick roads and reduced visibility. The most significant snow accumulation is expected Wednesday, with areas north of Green Bay at the highest risk.
Meteorologists emphasize that forecast updates are crucial, as the exact snow accumulation and storm track remain uncertain. Travelers should plan for possible delays and difficult road conditions throughout midweek.
Residents are advised to prepare for potential power outages, ensure emergency kits are stocked, and monitor updates from local authorities. The NWS recommends staying off roads during peak storm hours if possible and exercising caution when traveling.
