WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) — Cool and unsettled weather will dominate the week across northern and central Wisconsin, with a First Alert issued for frost risk Sunday night into Monday morning.
Frost and Freeze Warnings in Effect
Late Sunday night, the Northwoods will face the potential for frost or freeze conditions, with patchy frost possible in central and southern parts of the state. A Freeze Warning is in effect for much of the north through Monday morning.
While frost this time of year isn’t unusual for northern Wisconsin, the risk could shift based on overnight cloud cover and east winds at 5–10 mph, which might prevent frost formation in some central areas.
