Wisconsin — A hard winter chill grips Green Bay this morning. The air feels sharp near 28 degrees, and calm conditions allow the cold to settle over neighborhoods and roadways. Frost clings to parked cars, and sidewalks remain stiff underfoot as early commuters head out.
Today stays quiet but cold. Clouds linger early, then partial sunshine breaks through by afternoon. Highs reach the mid-30s, still well below seasonal comfort. Any snowmelt from recent days remains minimal, but shaded roads can stay slick longer than expected. Drivers should remain alert, especially on bridges and ramps along I-41 and local connectors.
Tonight turns colder again. Clear breaks allow temperatures to slide toward 20 degrees. That deep freeze locks in any leftover moisture, setting the stage for another icy start Wednesday morning.
Wednesday brings brighter skies but little warmth. Sunshine dominates, yet highs struggle near 32 degrees. A light northwest breeze keeps the air biting, especially near the bay. It’s a classic February feel, crisp and stubborn.
Thursday offers modest improvement. Partly sunny skies push highs into the low 30s again, with calmer winds helping it feel slightly better. Still, winter maintains control across northeastern Wisconsin.
By Friday, the pattern finally shifts. Sunshine and southerly flow lift highs close to 40 degrees in Green Bay. Snowbanks soften, and daytime melting resumes. This thaw continues into Valentine’s Day weekend, with Saturday climbing into the low 40s. Nights remain cold, so refreezing stays a concern after sunset.
Looking ahead, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across the Midwest and Great Lakes. Even with Lake Michigan ice still extensive, warmer air looks poised to gain ground into early next week.
Winter isn’t finished here, but cracks are forming. Are you noticing early signs of thaw around your neighborhood?
