GREEN BAY, Wis. – Frosted lawns and quiet flurries mark the start of a colder pattern sweeping across northeast Wisconsin as light snow and brisk winds build through Sunday and Monday. It’s not a major storm, but it’s a clear signal that winter has arrived for the Badger State.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, scattered snow showers are expected to develop Sunday morning as colder air filters in from the north. Any accumulation will stay under an inch, but the combination of light flakes, damp roads, and temperatures near freezing could make early travel slick—especially along I-41 and U.S. 141 north of Appleton. By Sunday night, temperatures will tumble into the low 20s, pushing wind chills into the teens.
Monday remains cold and mostly cloudy with another brief chance of flurries. Winds from the northwest will add a biting chill, though skies gradually clear by Veterans Day. Tuesday brings brighter skies and slightly milder air, with highs climbing back toward 40°F—just enough to melt away any lingering patches of snow.
For now, Green Bay residents should prepare for the season’s first stretch of steady cold: keep gloves and scrapers handy, give yourself extra time for the morning drive, and protect outdoor decorations or sensitive plants from the freeze. While the week ends on a milder note, this early snow tease sets the tone for a colder mid-November across much of Wisconsin.
