Wisconsin – A thin glaze is already forming on colder surfaces, and that subtle shine on roads and trees could turn hazardous fast as icy conditions expand across Green Bay today.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, additional ice accumulation is expected across north-central and northeast Wisconsin, with impacts including slick roads and possible tree damage. A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect as conditions evolve.
Across Green Bay, De Pere, and along Highway 41 and I-43, drivers should watch for untreated roads becoming slick, especially on bridges and overpasses. Even light ice can reduce traction quickly, increasing the risk of spinouts and crashes.
Temperatures hover near the freezing mark, making this a classic setup for patchy ice. Surfaces that appear wet may actually be icy, particularly in shaded or elevated areas. Slow down and allow extra stopping distance.
Conditions shift later as precipitation transitions to rain into the weekend, with highs climbing into the mid-40s. However, that brief warm-up may create melting followed by refreezing as temperatures drop back near freezing at night.
That raises a flash-freeze concern, especially early in the day and again into the next cold stretch. Plan ahead if traveling during early morning or late evening hours.
By Sunday, skies clear with calmer weather and highs in the mid-40s. Early next week brings another system with a rain-to-snow chance, especially by Monday night into Tuesday.
Looking ahead, a gradual warm-up returns by midweek, hinting at a more consistent spring pattern across Wisconsin.
Use caution on the roads today and stay alert for changing conditions. Are you seeing ice where you are?
