Wisconsin – Calm skies and cool air are holding steady this morning, but rising rivers and an incoming round of rain are setting up a quick shift that could turn roads slick by early Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, several rivers across northeast Wisconsin remain above bankfull, with elevated flows continuing through the end of the week. Dry conditions hold today with highs near 58°F, but rain chances increase to 50% by Thursday.
Green Bay and surrounding areas will see showers develop through the afternoon, with wet pavement likely on Highway 41 and local roads by late day. While rainfall amounts remain light, the combination of wet surfaces and falling temperatures creates concern heading into early Friday.
Temperatures drop sharply to around 22°F by Friday morning. Any lingering moisture could freeze on bridges and overpasses, creating isolated slick spots during the morning commute. This is a classic early spring setup where flash freezing can catch drivers off guard.
Drivers should slow down on elevated surfaces and watch for black ice, especially before sunrise. Near rivers and streams, residents should remain cautious as high water continues to move quickly.
Conditions improve later Friday with partial sunshine, but cooler air lingers into Saturday. A gradual warm-up returns by Sunday, with highs climbing back into the upper 50s.
