Green Bay, WI – Portions of central and east-central Wisconsin are dealing with increasingly intense snowfall this afternoon as the region enters its first accumulating winter system of the season. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Green Bay says the Winter Weather Advisory has now been extended and expanded through 3 PM today, with light-to-moderate snow continuing to impact travel.
According to the National Weather Service, webcams, radar imagery, and spotter reports all show bands of steady snow producing 1–2 inches of new accumulation across the advisory area. The advisory now includes parts of east-central Wisconsin, stretching across several counties, including communities near Appleton, Oshkosh, Waupaca, Stevens Point, and Green Bay.
NWS says snowfall intensity should begin to decrease by mid-afternoon, but roads may remain slick into the evening commute. Forecasters warn that even small accumulations can create sudden slick spots, especially on untreated surfaces, bridges, and overpasses.
Impacts will vary, but the agency says drivers should expect slippery roadways, reduced visibility, and the potential for slowdowns or minor delays on secondary roads and major routes. With this being the region’s first measurable snowfall of the season, meteorologists emphasize using extra caution as drivers readjust to winter travel conditions.
Snow totals are expected to remain modest, but the combination of freezing surfaces and steady precipitation has already led to deteriorating road conditions in several communities. Residents traveling today are advised to leave extra time, reduce speeds, and stay alert for changing conditions.
NWS will continue monitoring the system as it exits the area later today, with no additional advisories expected once snowfall tapers off after 3 PM.
