GREEN BAY, Wis. — Damp leaves stick to driveways under gray skies as Green Bay wakes to the quiet calm before a colder, wetter stretch. The next few days will bring a sharp reminder that November has turned the corner toward winter, with rain moving in late Thursday and the season’s first snowflakes possible by the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, Wednesday will turn sunnier by midday, with highs near 53°F. Thursday stays mild and mostly cloudy before a developing low-pressure system spreads rain across northeast Wisconsin Thursday night into early Friday. Temperatures will hover in the low 50s Friday before a sharp cold front drops readings into the 20s by Friday night.
The change will be quick. As colder air sweeps across the region, light rain may briefly mix with snow late Friday night or Saturday morning, especially inland and north of Highway 29. Any accumulation should remain light, but slick spots could form early Saturday for travelers along I-43, I-41, and U.S. 141.
Saturday will feel brisk and blustery, with highs struggling near 40°F and wind chills in the 20s. By Sunday, the chill deepens further — highs near the mid-30s with a few flurries possible.
Residents should prepare for the cold snap by checking heaters, clearing gutters, and securing holiday decorations. After all, winter’s first real bite is on the way — and Green Bay’s familiar November chill is back to stay.
