Wisconsin — The air burns the lungs this morning in northeast Wisconsin, where winter tightens fast before the next round of snow arrives.
Green Bay starts the day near −2 degrees, with calm winds offering little relief. Frost forms instantly on exposed surfaces, and untreated roads, sidewalks, and parking lots stay slick despite dry conditions. Vehicles struggle to warm, and battery strain remains a concern during the morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service, sunshine helps temperatures recover into the mid-20s later today, though the cold lingers. Snowpack remains locked in place, and shaded areas refreeze quickly after sunset. Drivers along Route 41 and local arterials should watch for black ice, especially near ramps and bridges.
Clouds increase tonight as the next system approaches. Temperatures fall back near 11 degrees, setting the stage for a more active stretch.
Thursday brings the next impact window. Snow develops during the morning, with periods of wintry mix possible midday as temperatures hover near freezing. Accumulations stay light, but even minor ice creates problems during peak travel hours. Slushy roads and reduced visibility are possible by afternoon, and conditions may deteriorate quickly after sunset.
Snow chances continue Thursday night, with lows near 26 degrees. Any untreated moisture freezes solid by early Friday.
Friday marks a shift. Clouds thin, winds turn breezy, and highs climb toward the mid-30s. Melting snow leads to wet pavement by afternoon, followed by refreezing after dark as temperatures drop near 5 degrees.
Saturday turns quieter but colder again. Sunshine dominates, highs reach the low 20s, and another chance for light snow returns Saturday night. Sunday trends milder, with highs near 30 and gradual improvement into early next week as broader warming spreads across the Great Lakes.
Plan layers, allow extra braking distance late Thursday, and prepare for rapid freeze-thaw cycles. How cold did it feel outside this morning where you are?
