Green Bay, Wisconsin – Clouds drifted into Green Bay this afternoon ahead of the next round of rain showers, expected to arrive between 8 PM and 9 PM tonight. The showers should taper off by 2 or 3 AM, mainly for eastern counties.
Winds will remain breezy out of the south, blowing at 10–15 mph with gusts reaching up to 25 mph.
These warmer winds will help keep overnight temperatures mild, only dipping into the upper 30s to mid-40s, which is noticeably warmer than last night.
Northern Lights May Be Visible — But Clouds Could Spoil the View
According to the Space Weather Prediction Center, there’s a possibility of seeing the Northern Lights tonight. However, slow-moving clouds across the area may obscure visibility. For those hoping to catch a glimpse, the best chance might come around 3–4 AM, just before sunrise—if the skies clear in time.
A Mild and Breezy Friday Ahead
Friday will start off with sunshine, but clouds will return by late morning and afternoon. A southwest breeze will keep temperatures warmer than today, with highs climbing into the lower 50s, as per the reports.
While some scattered afternoon clouds could bring a light shower, the region should remain mostly dry for the Level 3 high school football games in the evening.
Weekend Chill to Sweep Across Wisconsin
A cold front from Canada is expected to push into Wisconsin this weekend, bringing a sharp temperature drop. By Saturday, highs will fall into the mid to upper 30s. A weather system moving out of the Rockies will also affect the state, though most of its precipitation will stay to the south.
Areas south of Green Bay could still experience rain mixed with wet snowflakes, especially later in the day.
Sunday Brings Even Colder Air and a Chance of Snow
Sunday will be even colder, with highs hovering in the mid-30s. A north wind will trigger lake-effect snow in the Upper Peninsula (U.P.), and the setup could lead to minor snow accumulation—around 1 inch—in far northern Door County. Elsewhere, expect mostly cloudy skies and the chance for a few stray flurries throughout the day.
Looking Ahead to Monday Night Football
Monday is expected to stay breezy and mostly cloudy, with highs in the upper 30s. Some light flurries may develop, particularly during the Packers vs. Eagles game on Monday night. Fans attending the game should bundle up, as kickoff temperatures are likely to be below freezing.
Stay Weather-Aware This Weekend
With changing temperatures, rain chances, and a hint of snow on the horizon, residents across Northeast Wisconsin should keep an eye on updated forecasts before heading out. Those hoping to view the Northern Lights may want to set an early alarm — clouds permitting.
