Green Bay, WI – A brief taste of spring is arriving across Wisconsin this weekend, but forecasters say winter isn’t done yet. Warmer temperatures will spread across the state through Monday before a widespread wintry mix moves in by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, a few light flurries may linger across far northern Wisconsin Saturday night, mainly in areas near the Northwoods. Overnight temperatures are expected to fall between 27 and 33 degrees, while southwest winds could gust up to 25 mph in some locations.
By Sunday and Monday, much milder air will move into the region. High temperatures are forecast to reach the low 50s in northern Wisconsin and climb into the middle 60s across central Wisconsin, including areas near Wausau and Wisconsin Rapids. Forecasters say Monday could be the warmest day of the stretch, with many communities experiencing temperatures well above early-March averages.
That warmer pattern will begin to shift late Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service, the next round of widespread precipitation is expected Tuesday evening (March 10) as a system moves across the Upper Midwest. Initially, much of the state could see rain during the afternoon or evening hours.
As colder air moves in overnight into Wednesday (March 11), precipitation may transition to a wintry mix of rain, sleet, and snow, particularly across northern and central Wisconsin. Travel conditions could become slippery in some areas if temperatures drop quickly.
Cities including Green Bay, Appleton, Wausau, and Rhinelander could all see changing conditions as the system passes through.
Forecasters say it’s still too early to determine potential snowfall totals, but residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts early next week as the system develops.
