Wisconsin – Snowflakes drift across parking lots and rooftops early this morning in northeast Wisconsin, sticking lightly to untreated roads. Gusty west winds push loose snow across lanes, briefly reducing visibility and raising travel concerns.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, light to moderate snow continues this morning, especially north of Highway 8. Areas south of Highway 29 could see a mix of snow, freezing drizzle, or sleet. Wind gusts near 35 mph may cause blowing and drifting snow on exposed roads, including stretches of I-41, Highway 29, and rural county routes.
Temperatures hover in the mid-20s early, keeping pavement cold. Even light snow amounts can turn slick quickly. Drivers should slow down, increase following distance, and watch for sudden whiteout bursts in open areas. Side streets and bridges may ice over faster than main roads.
Conditions gradually improve later today as snowfall tapers and skies begin to clear. Highs reach the low 30s, though winds stay brisk. Tonight turns sharply colder. Lows drop near 4 degrees, allowing any melted snow to refreeze. Black ice remains a concern into early Sunday.
Sunday brings bright sunshine but bitter cold. Afternoon highs struggle to reach the upper teens. Roads improve overall, yet shaded areas may stay icy. Sunday night marks the next change. Clouds increase, and another round of light snow develops after dark.
By Monday, snow may mix with rain at times as temperatures climb into the mid-30s. This on-and-off winter pattern continues into the week, setting the stage for tricky travel during Christmas preparations.
Holiday travelers should stay flexible. Even minor snow events can cause delays this time of year. Keep winter kits stocked and check road conditions before heading out.
