Green Bay, WI – Gray skies stretch across the bay this morning, with damp air signaling the start of a changing weather pattern. After a mild and quiet start, Green Bay’s calm will give way to a wetter, colder setup midweek — just as Thanksgiving travel picks up across Wisconsin.
Rain is expected to develop later today and continue through Tuesday as a strong system lifts into the Great Lakes. The National Weather Service reports a 90% chance of rain Tuesday, with temperatures hovering near 50°F before colder air sweeps in by Wednesday morning. As that front moves through, some areas north of Highway 29 could see a brief rain-to-snow mix.
By Wednesday, brisk northwest winds may gust up to 35 mph, pulling temperatures down into the mid-30s and dropping wind chills into the 20s. Thanksgiving Day itself looks calmer — mostly cloudy, with highs near 33°F — but travel may still be slowed early by lingering dampness and cooler pavement.
Looking toward the weekend, models hint at light snow returning Saturday, though accumulations appear minimal. Still, early-season slick spots could catch some off guard during post-holiday travel or Black Friday shopping trips.
5-Day Outlook:
- Tuesday: Rain, 49°F.
- Wednesday: Breezy, rain/snow mix, 36°F.
- Thanksgiving Day: Mostly cloudy, 33°F.
- Friday: Mostly sunny, 30°F.
- Saturday: Chance of light snow, 32°F.
