Wisconsin wakes to a sharp bite in the air as 17 degrees greets Green Bay this morning. A northwest wind gusting over 20 mph pushes wind chills down near 3 degrees. The sky looks calm, but the cold cuts through gloves fast. Side streets remain icy where light snow and flurries passed earlier.
Drivers along US-41 and I-43 should watch for slick patches, especially on bridges near the Fox River. Highs only climb to around 23 degrees today, with a few lingering flurries possible before skies partially clear.
Tonight drops to near 16 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. Any melting from afternoon sun could refreeze quickly after sunset, creating classic late-February black ice.
Attention shifts to Tuesday. A stronger system moves in with a 40 to 80 percent chance of snow by afternoon. Highs reach near 34 degrees, and around one inch of accumulation is possible. Roads could turn slushy during the evening commute.
Tuesday night turns colder again with lows near 15 degrees. Wednesday brings sunshine but stays chilly with highs near 25. Another 20 percent snow chance returns Thursday before partial clearing.
By Friday, temperatures rebound sharply into the upper 40s. Early 6-to-10-day outlooks favor above-normal temperatures into early March, hinting at gradual spring warmth across northeast Wisconsin.
Five Day Outlook for Green Bay, Wisconsin:
Monday: Chance flurries, high 23.
