Green Bay, WI – Wisconsin’s calm, cloudy stretch is about to turn active again. Rain is expected to arrive late Thursday, followed by a weekend cool-down that could deliver the Green Bay area its first snowflakes of November. Residents should prepare for slick roads and colder winds by Saturday morning, especially for early travel or outdoor Veterans Day events.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, today stays mostly cloudy with highs near 57°F. Breezy southwest winds shift southeast by evening as moisture builds ahead of an approaching system. Wednesday offers a mix of clouds and sprinkles before clearer skies briefly return Wednesday night, with temperatures dropping to the upper 20s.
Thursday begins calm and cool near 52°F, but conditions will change rapidly. Rain becomes likely Thursday night, with an 80% chance of steady showers lasting into early Friday. Highs Friday will hover in the mid-50s before dropping sharply by evening as cold northwest air moves in.
By Saturday, temperatures will struggle to reach the mid-40s. Lingering moisture and falling temperatures could create a brief rain-to-snow changeover — a possible first glimpse of Wisconsin’s winter season. No accumulation is expected yet, but forecasters note that this pattern signals a colder trend heading into mid-November.
To be fair, the weekend won’t bring a deep freeze, but the chill will linger. Sunday stays brisk near 39°F with lows in the 20s, offering crisp air for outdoor chores or early holiday decorating. Models hint at another stronger system next week that could deliver more organized snow chances before Thanksgiving.
