According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, a Winter Storm Watch remains in effect for Lincoln, Oneida, Vilas, Florence, and Forest counties starting late Tuesday night. These areas could see between 5 and 10 inches of snow, along with ice accumulations of less than a tenth of an inch. Winds could gust up to 35 mph, creating dangerous blowing snow and reduced visibility.
Further south, Marathon, Langlade, and Northern Marinette counties are also under a Winter Storm Watch beginning Wednesday afternoon. Snowfall accumulations in these areas are expected to range between 3 and 6 inches, with wind gusts reaching 40 mph.
