Green Bay, Wisconsin – A blast of cold air is set to hit Green Bay and surrounding areas this week, bringing frigid temperatures, gusty winds, and the potential for snow showers. Residents are being advised to prepare for slippery roads and low temperatures that could dip into the single digits.
Tonight: Temperatures Drop Despite Clouds
Tonight, temperatures will fall into the mid-20s, but as clouds build and a south wind picks up, temperatures are expected to rise into the 30s and low 40s by daybreak. Forecasters warn that winds will gust up to 30 mph, making conditions feel colder than the actual air temperature.
Thursday: Rain, Wind, and Potential Snow Squalls
Thursday is expected to be unpleasant for outdoor activities, with rain and wind moving in mid to late morning, lasting into the early afternoon. Highs will likely reach the upper 30s to low 40s, but wind gusts could reach 30 to 35 mph, creating blustery conditions.
By evening, as winds shift to the west, cold air will surge into the area. This could bring snow showers or even a snow squall, though snowfall accumulation is expected to remain under one inch. Residents are warned to watch for slippery roads due to a potential flash freeze overnight.
Friday: Bitter Cold Continues
Friday will remain mostly cloudy, breezy, and cold, with highs only in the upper teens to low 20s. A weak clipper system is expected to bring additional snow Thursday night into Friday, continuing into Saturday morning.
Weekend Outlook: Cold Persists
Saturday’s high temperatures will climb into the lower 30s, providing only slight relief from the ongoing cold. Sunday will see another cold day, with highs remaining in the mid to upper teens, keeping the area in frigid winter conditions.
Safety and Preparation
Forecasters are urging drivers and residents to remain cautious during this stretch of harsh weather. Slippery roadways, icy patches, and low visibility during snow showers could make travel dangerous. Residents are also advised to dress warmly, protect pets, and check heating systems in anticipation of the cold.
