Green Bay, Wisconsin – Cold temperatures and lingering snow flurries are expected to continue across northern Wisconsin, with subzero wind chills returning late tonight into Friday morning, according to forecasters.
The National Weather Service in Green Bay reports that a few flurries or light snow showers are possible today, mainly across north-central and northern Wisconsin, with little to no accumulation expected. Afternoon temperatures will remain cold, generally ranging from 6 to 12 degrees, keeping untreated surfaces slick in some areas.
Late tonight into Friday morning, lake-effect snow showers may develop near Lake Michigan, bringing brief visibility reductions and isolated slick spots. While snowfall amounts are expected to remain light, the greater concern will be dangerously cold wind chills.
Wind chills are forecast to drop below zero Friday morning, especially in exposed areas and along major travel corridors such as Interstate 41, Interstate 43, US-41, and State Highway 29. Open stretches of roadway may experience stronger winds, increasing the risk of frostbite for anyone spending extended time outdoors.
Forecasters note that temperatures will remain cold again Friday, with highs only reaching the single digits and teens. Residents are urged to dress in layers, limit time outdoors, and ensure hats, gloves, and face coverings are worn when exposed to the cold.
The National Weather Service also recommends checking on elderly neighbors, family members, and those without reliable heating, and ensuring pets are brought indoors during the coldest periods. Drivers should prepare vehicles for winter conditions and keep emergency supplies on hand.
Some relief is expected this weekend, with highs climbing into the upper teens and 20s, and partly cloudy skies developing Saturday. Another chance for light snow may arrive late Sunday, but impacts are expected to remain minor at this time.
For commuters, students, and early-morning workers, Friday morning will bring the coldest conditions, especially near highways and open areas.
Officials emphasize continued cold-weather safety as winter conditions persist across the region.
