Wisconsin wakes up under a dim, gray sky as light snow and mist drift across Green Bay, coating roads and sidewalks in a thin, slick layer. Temperatures hover near 16°F, and that biting cold keeps surfaces icy despite lighter precipitation.
The National Weather Service in Green Bay reports lingering snow this morning gradually tapering into freezing drizzle. That shift is especially dangerous, as a light glaze can form quickly on untreated roads and bridges.
Drivers along US-41 and I-43 should expect slippery stretches through late morning. Visibility may drop in mist, and roads can turn treacherous without much warning. Slow down and leave extra space between vehicles.
By later today, temperatures climb toward 36°F, allowing some melting. However, conditions may deteriorate again as another round of wintry mix develops tonight. Rain combined with freezing rain and snow could create slick travel once again into early Thursday.
Thursday morning could bring one of the trickiest commutes of the week. A mix of freezing rain and snow may linger, keeping roads hazardous during peak travel hours. Plan extra time and check conditions before heading out.
A warming trend begins to take hold heading into Friday, with highs reaching the mid-40s. By Saturday, temperatures push into the mid-50s with partial sunshine, offering a brief taste of spring.
That warm-up may bring another concern—snowmelt and rising rivers. Some waterways could approach bankfull levels, increasing minor flooding risks across northeast Wisconsin.
