Wisconsin — Cold air bites early this morning as breath fogs instantly and snow squeaks under boots. Green Bay wakes up under clear skies, but the calm hides a changing winter pattern.
Temperatures sit near 14 degrees, with wind chills dipping below zero at times. Roads remain dry for now, yet the cold keeps surfaces primed for fast icing later. Today stays quiet and bright, though highs only reach the low 20s. It feels sharp, especially along open stretches near Highway 41 and local bridges.
Tonight turns even colder. Lows slide toward the single digits, locking in winter’s grip. Any moisture left on pavement may refreeze quickly, creating surprise slick spots for early drivers.
Wednesday brings little relief. Sunshine returns, but highs hover near 22. Winds stay light, allowing cold air to linger across Brown County. Crews and commuters catch a brief calm before conditions shift again.
By Thursday, clouds thicken and temperatures finally approach 30. Meteorologists are tracking a developing system that introduces snow chances by afternoon. Snow becomes more likely Thursday evening, with a 30 to 40 percent chance. As temperatures hover near freezing, a wintry mix or freezing rain may develop later at night. Travel impacts could increase quickly if precipitation overlaps colder pavement.
Friday looks brighter and slightly warmer. Sunshine returns, and highs reach the mid-30s. Melting during the day may feel welcome, but it sets up another risk. After sunset, temperatures drop again, raising the threat of flash freezing on untreated roads and sidewalks.
Looking toward the Feb. 6–8 weekend, conditions stay seasonably cold. Highs range from the low to mid-20s, with occasional light snow chances. No major storm signals yet, but winter hazards remain part of daily travel.
Beyond the weekend, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook hints at above-normal temperatures late next week. A gradual thaw may follow, even as the Great Lakes remain heavily frozen.
Plan for cold today and watch Thursday closely. Are you already noticing slick spots or biting wind where you live?
