Wisconsin roads are slick and shining this morning as rain and mist sweep across Green Bay. Temperatures hover near 39 degrees, just cold enough to raise concern on bridges and untreated surfaces. East winds gust past 20 mph, pushing sheets of rain across Highway 41 and I-43.
Travel hazards are expected to increase through the morning as steady rain continues. According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, precipitation remains likely through midday, with wind gusts approaching 30 mph. While surface temperatures sit above freezing, elevated roads could briefly turn icy if colder pockets develop.
Rain tapers to scattered showers later today as highs reach near 52 degrees. Conditions improve slightly by evening, but clouds linger and temperatures fall to around 31 tonight. Any leftover moisture may refreeze after sunset, creating patchy black ice. This is prime flash-freeze season across northeast Wisconsin.
Thursday offers a brief break with partial sunshine and a high near 47. Another system arrives late Thursday night into Friday. Rain is likely early, then may mix with or change to snow as colder air filters in. Highs Friday reach only near 40 before dipping to the mid-20s Friday night.
The weekend trends colder with highs in the 30s and periodic light snow chances into Saturday night. Early next week remains brisk, but longer-range guidance hints at moderating temperatures and signs of early spring warmth returning to Wisconsin.
