Wisconsin wakes up under a hard winter edge this morning, with steel-gray skies hanging low over Green Bay. Light flakes drift at times, while cold air bites exposed skin fast. The quiet look hides real hazards developing across northeast Wisconsin.
A Hazardous Weather Outlook remains in effect for Green Bay and surrounding counties. Recent light snow has left slick patches on untreated roads, and minor drifting continues in open areas. Early temperatures hover near 11 degrees, but northwest winds push wind chills closer to 20 degrees below zero at times.
Drivers should stay alert, especially on bridges and secondary streets. Even small bursts of flurries can coat pavement quickly. Reduced traction remains possible through the morning commute. Slow down, increase following distance, and watch shaded stretches closely.
As the day moves forward, skies turn mostly sunny, but the cold barely eases. Highs struggle to reach the low teens. Any melting during midday refreezes fast once the sun drops, increasing the risk of flash freezing tonight. This is when accidents often spike.
Tonight turns mostly clear and sharply cold. Lows dip near 2 below zero, with wind chills sinking into the 15 to 25 below range for some areas. Frostbite can occur on exposed skin in under 30 minutes. Limit outdoor time and layer up if heading out.
Wednesday stays cold and quiet, topping out near 10 degrees. Winds relax slightly, but the air remains biting. Thursday brings more sun with highs near 11, followed by a modest warm-up Friday near 15. Snow chances remain low through the end of the workweek.
Looking ahead, longer-range outlooks suggest below-normal precipitation across Wisconsin into early February, while cold air continues to dominate the Upper Midwest.
If you’re traveling, plan extra time and expect slick spots to linger. How are road conditions where you are this morning?
