Green Bay, Wisconsin – Quiet winter weather is expected across northeast Wisconsin through the middle of the week before a clipper system brings light wintry precipitation late Thursday into Friday morning, potentially affecting travel on major roadways.
According to the National Weather Service office in Green Bay, today will feature cold but generally quiet conditions, with highs ranging from the mid-teens to lower 20s. A few light flurries may occur early in north-central Wisconsin, but most areas will see dry conditions through the afternoon.
Wednesday remains relatively calm, with only a slight chance of light precipitation and highs climbing into the low to mid-20s. Conditions begin to change Thursday as a fast-moving clipper system approaches from the northwest. Mostly cloudy skies are expected, with temperatures rising into the upper 20s to mid-30s by afternoon.
Light wintry precipitation may develop Thursday afternoon or evening, continuing into Friday morning. The National Weather Service notes that some brief mixed precipitation could occur overnight, though snowfall amounts are expected to remain light. Roadways including Interstate 41, Interstate 43, Interstate 39, US-10, and US-41 may experience slick spots, particularly on bridges, overpasses, and untreated surfaces.
Friday morning could begin with light snow before conditions gradually improve later in the day. Highs Friday are forecast to range from the mid-20s to upper 30s, with clearing expected by afternoon. Winds may increase later Friday, leading to blustery conditions but no significant winter storm impacts.
Forecasters emphasize that this system is expected to be low impact, but even light snow or mixed precipitation can create localized travel hazards, especially during early-morning hours.
This forecast may be most relevant for commuters, school transportation, and freight traffic traveling along the I-41 and I-39 corridors late Thursday night into Friday morning. Drivers are encouraged to monitor updates and adjust travel plans if conditions change.
