Green Bay, WI – A windy, rain-soaked start to the workweek could slow traffic and trigger power disruptions across northeast Wisconsin, including Green Bay and key highways like US-41.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, sustained winds between 35 and 45 mph will impact central and northeastern counties late Monday afternoon into Monday night. The strongest gusts are forecast after 4 p.m. Monday, accompanied by periods of rain and possible snow showers. Drivers on US-41 and surrounding rural routes should prepare for slick conditions and limited visibility from rain-snow mix overnight into early Tuesday.
While Monday poses the greatest threat to travel, Wednesday brings another concern: fire risk. Relative humidity may drop to 25-35% midweek, creating elevated fire danger in areas with dry vegetation. NWS officials urge residents to avoid outdoor burning and secure lightweight objects as gusts persist.
