Wisconsin greets the morning under a hard winter edge as cold air tightens across the Green Bay area. Snowflakes drift lightly at times, wind skims across the Fox River, and exposed skin feels the sting within minutes.
Early today, temperatures sit near 8°F in Green Bay, with wind chills near –5° to –10°. A few flurries or light snow showers may linger, especially north and east of the city. Accumulations stay light, but slick pavement remains a concern. Drivers should expect icy patches on bridges and untreated roads, including stretches of I-41 and Highway 29.
Conditions improve slightly later today as skies turn mostly cloudy and highs reach around 19°F. Cold ground limits melting, so refreezing continues after sunset. Tonight drops back near 10°F, setting the stage for another icy start Tuesday.
Tuesday brings a brief break. Temperatures climb into the mid to upper 30s, with clouds and spotty flurries or sprinkles possible. That warm-up is short-lived. Meteorologists are closely watching Wednesday night into Thursday, when a developing system may bring freezing rain, then rain, before colder air rushes back in. Even a thin glaze could create dangerous travel conditions during evening and early morning commutes.
By Thursday, rain remains likely, with highs near 39°F. As colder air filters in later, a rain-to-snow changeover cannot be ruled out. Gusty winds may exceed 40 mph, increasing the risk of slick roads and isolated power issues. This pattern signals a classic December Winter Tease, where temperatures swing sharply and hazards evolve fast.
Looking ahead to the weekend, colder air settles back in. Snow chances linger at times, with quieter but firmly winterlike conditions returning.
