Green Bay, Wis. – Drivers and homeowners in northeast Wisconsin should prepare for a chilly fall snap tonight with frost and rain both in play. Cooler air and passing showers could slick roads such as U.S. Highway 41 and leave gardens vulnerable to damage from patchy frost.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, scattered showers may develop late tonight, with the best chance for rain after midnight. Temperatures will dip near 50 degrees, and winds will strengthen, making it feel even colder. A frost risk lingers for north-central counties, especially rural stretches outside the city.
Friday brings a slight chance for morning showers before skies gradually clear. Highs will climb only into the lower 60s, keeping the cool, early fall pattern intact. West winds will gust up to 20 miles per hour, which could challenge drivers of high-profile vehicles on area highways.
Saturday looks brighter, with sunny skies and highs in the low 80s, offering welcome weather for outdoor plans and high school football. Cooler nights remain, however, with lows in the 40s likely through the weekend.
By early next week, temperatures return to the 70s with another round of showers possible Tuesday and Wednesday. Residents should keep jackets handy and consider covering sensitive plants each night through the weekend.
Advisories may continue for north-central Wisconsin if frost threats expand. Stay alert for updates as the cool September weather holds on.
