Green Bay, Wisconsin – Gusty southwest winds up to 35 mph will create blustery travel conditions along US-41 and I-43 through 6 p.m. Friday, ahead of a colder weekend shift that could bring light snow south of Highway 29 on Saturday.
Temperatures are expected to climb into the mid-40s to low 50s Friday, making for a mild but windy end to the workweek. The strongest gusts will develop late morning through the afternoon, especially in open areas and along elevated roadways. High-profile vehicles traveling on I-43 toward Manitowoc or along US-41 toward Appleton may experience noticeable crosswinds.
By Saturday, a colder air mass will settle into northeast Wisconsin, dropping daytime highs into the teens and 20s. Light snow is possible mainly south of Highway 29, which includes areas along US-10 and portions of I-41 toward Oshkosh. While snowfall amounts are not expected to be significant, even light accumulation could create slick stretches on untreated roads during the afternoon.
Drivers should be prepared for changing road conditions as temperatures fall sharply from Friday’s warmth into Saturday’s chill. Bridges and overpasses may become icy first if light snow develops.
Dry and quieter conditions are anticipated Sunday, though colder temperatures will remain in place. Residents are encouraged to secure loose outdoor items today and monitor forecast updates regarding Saturday’s snow potential.
Travelers across the Green Bay area should plan for windy conditions today and remain alert for possible slick spots this weekend as colder air returns.
