New record low temperatures set in Green Bay, other areas


Green Bay set a new record low of minus 19 Monday morning, according to the National Weather Service in Ashwaubenon. The frigid weather is expected to persist through the day and the early part of the week.
Monday’s low just edged out the previous record, minus 18, set in 1976. A number of other cities also recorded record lows:
• Antigo: a low of minus was recorded, breaking the record of minus 21 in 1938

• Stevens Point: minus 20, breaking 1976 record of minus 19
• Wausau: minus 19, tying record from 1938 and 1963
The Salvation Army of Brown County has opened as a warming shelter because of the cold. The chapel at the Salvation Army Corps building at 626 Union Court will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. throughout the winter on any day when the temperature, actual or wind chill, is below minus10 degrees.
A wind chill advisory for all Northeastern Wisconsin expired at noon.
Monday’s forecast includes a high temperature of 3, with a wind out of the west southwest at 6 to 8 mph. There’s a 50 percent chance for snow Monday night, although not more than a half-inch is expected. The low is forecast around minus 3, with wind chill values between minus 10 and minus 20.
Tuesday’s outlook isn’t much better, with a high near 4 and wind chill values again between minus 10 and minus 20.
The weather service said high temperatures in the low teens are forecast for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
