Wisconsin — Light snow skims across streetlights this morning as wind whips flakes sideways in Green Bay. Tires hiss on damp pavement, and untreated roads feel slick before sunrise.
A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect through 6 a.m. CST for Brown County and surrounding areas. Additional snow totals stay under 1 inch, but gusts near 35 mph reduce visibility and create drifting in open areas. Even minor snowfall can cause outsized travel issues when temperatures hover in the teens.
Motorists should expect slippery conditions on bridges, ramps, and less-traveled roads. Highway 41 and city arterials may improve quickly after snow tapers, but shaded stretches could refreeze. Slow down early this morning, especially north and west of the Fox Valley.
Snow pulls out later this morning, though clouds linger and winds stay brisk. Afternoon highs struggle to reach the upper teens. Wind chills remain below zero at times, making outdoor errands feel biting despite improving visibility.
Tonight turns quieter but colder. Lows drop into the single digits as skies partially clear. Saturday brings a brief reset. Clouds break at times, and highs climb near the lower 30s. Another light snow chance develops late Saturday into early Sunday, mainly north of Green Bay. Accumulation looks light, but timing could affect weekend travel.
Looking ahead, temperatures slowly moderate early next week. Highs reach the low to mid-30s Monday and upper 30s by Tuesday. Meteorologists are already tracking a potential pattern shift closer to Christmas. While no major storm is locked in, late-December systems can evolve quickly. Travelers should watch for changing snow chances heading into the holiday week.
For now, allow extra time this morning, keep headlights on in snow bands, and dress for wind chill.
