Green Bay, WI – Motorists in central and east-central Wisconsin are urged to drive cautiously as patchy freezing drizzle is forecast for early Friday morning. Overnight fog will reduce visibility below one mile, creating slick conditions on untreated surfaces like overpasses and bridges.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures are expected to hover below freezing until mid-morning Friday, increasing the likelihood of icy spots on roads. Areas of drizzle will follow fog during the pre-dawn hours, further elevating the risk of hazardous driving conditions.
Drivers traveling along key corridors, including I-41 and US-10, should prepare for sudden changes in visibility and slippery surfaces. The morning commute could see delays, especially in counties such as Brown, Portage, and Outagamie. Use low-beam headlights, reduce speed, and allow extra distance between vehicles.
The weather will improve later Friday as temperatures rise above freezing. However, patchy fog may linger into the early afternoon, particularly in rural areas. For those planning post-Christmas travel through the weekend, conditions should remain mostly clear, with highs in the mid-30s and a slight chance of rain Sunday night.
Stay updated on road conditions by visiting the Wisconsin Department of Transportation website or local traffic apps. Motorists should check forecasts regularly to plan safer travel.
