Green Bay, Wisconsin – A brief stretch of quiet winter weather across northeast and central Wisconsin is expected to end late this week as a fast-moving system brings chances for snow and a possible wintry mix.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Green Bay, tranquil conditions are forecast through Wednesday before the next “clipper” system approaches the region Thursday into Friday morning. This system is expected to bring periods of snow, with some locations also seeing a wintry mix during the transition.
Forecast temperatures Thursday are expected to range from the upper 20s to low 30s, which may allow for mixed precipitation in spots before colder air arrives. By Friday, temperatures are forecast to fall through the day, accompanied by gusty winds that could worsen travel conditions.
Areas potentially impacted include Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, and Wausau. Motorists traveling along Interstate 41, Interstate 39, U.S. Highway 10, and U.S. Highway 151 may encounter snow-covered roads, reduced visibility, and blowing snow at times, especially Friday morning.
While snowfall amounts were not specified in the update, the Weather Service emphasized that timing and impacts could affect the Friday morning commute, particularly if snow overlaps with increasing winds. Falling temperatures may also allow slushy roads to refreeze later Friday.
Behind the system, colder air is expected to settle in heading into the weekend. Additional chances for snow are indicated Saturday, with temperatures remaining in the teens to 20s.
Drivers are encouraged to monitor forecasts closely, allow extra travel time late Thursday night and Friday, and be prepared for changing road conditions. Even modest snowfall combined with wind can create localized hazards.
Students, commuters, and early-shift workers should pay close attention to updates as forecast confidence increases closer to the event.
