GREEN BAY, Wis. – Dawn breaks gray and quiet across the Bay this Wednesday, with brisk west winds rattling branches and a sharp bite in the air. The chill is here for now, but Wisconsin will see one more mild stretch before temperatures fall again late in the weekend — part of a familiar mid-November weather whiplash.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, Thursday will bring calmer winds and gradual warming as highs climb into the low 50s. By Friday, sunshine returns with highs reaching the mid-50s to near 60 — a brief but welcome break before the next system slides in. Clouds will thicken late Saturday, and light rain could develop by evening, especially along the I-41 corridor and near Lake Michigan.
Residents planning outdoor work or early holiday decorating should use Thursday and Friday’s mild window before conditions cool quickly again Sunday. Behind the weekend system, colder air returns with highs back in the low 40s and lows near freezing. That dip may set the stage for an early “winter tease” next week — models are hinting at possible flurries or light snow showers north of Green Bay as temperatures fall below 30°F.
For now, no advisories are posted, but the quick warm-to-cold transition could bring slick roads early next week. With Thanksgiving travel on the horizon, it’s a good reminder to check wiper blades, refill washer fluid, and prep vehicles for the coming season.
And while the aurora from last night’s G4 solar storm fades this morning, lingering disruptions in GPS and communications may continue — pairing cosmic spectacle with the chill of an early Wisconsin winter.
