UPDATE: Severe winds lead to widespread outages in Wisconsin Tuesday and Wednesday, says Wisconsin Public Service.
WPS crews are seeing numerous downed trees and wires as well as broken power poles.
Brown County Dispatch tells NBC26 that some lines are down on Western Avenue in Green Bay. Crews will be shutting down the road between Locust and Leland Streets.
The largest hit areas include the northern portion of their territory, in Wausaukee, Tomahawk, Rhinelander, Crivitz and Eagle River.
65,000 customers have had power restored to them since the start of the storm and crews will continue to work throughout the day.
