Icy Roads Possible This Evening as Temperatures Drop Quickly

WEYAUWEGA FREMONT WI., Drivers in Weyauwega, Fremont, and surrounding areas should be prepared for slippery road conditions this evening, as temperatures are expected to fall below freezing during the late afternoon and early evening hours.

According to the National Weather Service Green Bay, temperatures across central and east central Wisconsin will drop rapidly after spending much of the day in the upper 30s and lower 40s. As colder air moves in, melted snow and rain on roadways may refreeze, creating icy patches.

For the Weyauwega and Fremont area, freezing temperatures are expected to arrive between approximately 5:00 and 7:00 PM, closely aligning with nearby Waupaca. During this window, roads, bridges, and untreated surfaces could become slick, especially in shaded areas and on less traveled roads.

The National Weather Service notes that icing potential will vary and largely depends on how much moisture remains on the roads and whether road treatments have been applied. Even so, officials warn that a thin layer of ice can form quickly and may be difficult to see while driving.

Motorists are encouraged to slow down, increase following distance, and stay alert for rapidly changing road conditions during the evening commute.

For the latest updates, residents should monitor local forecasts and road condition reports as conditions continue to evolve.
