Green Bay, WI – Residents across Green Bay, De Pere, Ashwaubenon and surrounding Brown County communities can expect a noticeable shift in temperatures as Veterans Day approaches.
According to the National Weather Service office in Green Bay, the region will enjoy mostly dry conditions through the middle of the week before colder air settles in.
The biggest change arrives between Tuesday and Thursday, when daytime highs fall 14 degrees and nighttime temperatures approach freezing.
November Warmth Peaks Tuesday Sunday, Nov. 8, began with temperatures around 41 degrees at Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport.
Sunshine is expected to push afternoon temperatures toward 57 degrees, although northwest winds could gust to 25 mph.
Monday, Nov. 9, brings mostly cloudy skies and a high near 55 degrees.
Tuesday, Nov. 10, looks particularly pleasant, with sunshine and temperatures reaching approximately 58 degrees.
That makes early week an excellent opportunity to finish yard cleanup, secure outdoor furniture and prepare gardens for colder November nights.
Veterans Day Signals a Cooler Pattern Wednesday, Nov. 11, brings partly sunny skies and a high near 51 degrees.
Although temperatures remain relatively comfortable during the afternoon, the cooling trend becomes more noticeable after sunset.
Wednesday night temperatures are expected to fall toward 34 degrees.
Residents attending Veterans Day ceremonies should prepare for chilly conditions, particularly during morning events.
Drivers traveling Interstate 41, Interstate 43 and Wisconsin Highway 172 can expect generally dry weather under the current outlook.
However, colder morning temperatures could allow frost to develop on exposed surfaces where moisture is present.
Thursday Night Brings the Biggest Cold Concern Thursday, Nov. 12, marks the week's most significant temperature change.
The National Weather Service expects mostly sunny skies with a high near 44 degrees.
By Thursday night, temperatures could fall to approximately 30 degrees.
That represents a 28 degree difference from Tuesday's afternoon high.
Sensitive plants and remaining garden vegetation may be vulnerable to freezing temperatures.
Residents should consider protecting outdoor plants and checking exposed water connections before the coldest conditions arrive.
The current outlook does not indicate accumulating snow or a winter storm.
Still, temperatures below freezing serve as a reminder that winter weather preparations should already be underway.
Friday Stays Chilly Before a Weekend Rebound Friday, Nov. 13, brings mostly sunny skies with a high near 46 degrees.
Temperatures fall to around 32 degrees Friday night, keeping another near freezing morning possible.
Saturday, Nov. 14, offers a modest improvement, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures reaching approximately 50 degrees.
For now, northeastern Wisconsin appears positioned for a largely dry week rather than an early season snow event.
Green Bay Five Day Weather Outlook Monday, Nov. 9: Mostly cloudy, high 55°F. Partly cloudy Monday night, low 38°F. Tuesday, Nov. 10: Sunny, high 58°F. Partly cloudy Tuesday night, low 36°F.

Is Snow Coming Before Thanksgiving? As November progresses, northeastern Wisconsin typically faces increasing opportunities for freezing temperatures and winter precipitation.
However, the current National Weather Service outlook does not identify a specific snowstorm or measurable snowfall through Saturday.
Conditions beyond that period remain uncertain, and residents should continue monitoring updated forecasts as Thanksgiving approaches.
The milder afternoons offer a useful opportunity to prepare vehicles, clear fallen leaves and secure outdoor belongings before colder weather becomes more persistent.
