Wisconsin – A sharp, biting December wind sweeps across Green Bay this morning as low clouds press down and the air feels brittle against exposed skin. Pavement looks dry now, but a thin frost clings to curbs and rooftops—an early signal of what drivers may face repeatedly through the coming days.
According to the National Weather Service, light snow and mixed precipitation may bring slick road conditions today as scattered flurries slide across northeast Wisconsin. Commuters along I-43 and Highway 41 should use extra caution; freezing drizzle is also possible and may create a quick glaze on elevated surfaces.
A more organized burst of light snow is expected Saturday night into Sunday, with accumulations around an inch or less possible from Wausau to Sturgeon Bay. While totals remain modest, the timing could still affect weekend plans, especially for early shoppers and holiday travelers running errands before sunrise Sunday. Even small accumulations may trigger flash-freeze spots where pavement chills rapidly after brief melting.
Meteorologists now track a repeating Winter pattern into next week, with additional snow chances from Monday into early Tuesday, and again Tuesday night into Wednesday. Confidence is still developing, but long-range models hint at increasing Great Lakes activity between Dec. 11–17—a window when lake-effect bands may strengthen across Wisconsin, Michigan, and northern Illinois as holiday traffic increases.
Expect conditions to shift fast. Plan extra time if traveling Sunday, especially early in the day. Keep gloves, ice melt, and scrapers ready, and watch for reduced visibility in rural stretches where blowing flakes develop.
