Spring or Winter? Green Bay Gets Surprise Midweek Mix Before Weekend Warm-Up

Spring is making its presence known in Green Bay this week, bringing a mix of light rain and snow before temperatures begin to warm up heading into the weekend.

While many residents are hoping winter is in the rearview mirror, a quick midweek weather hiccup will bring a chilly reminder that the season isn’t quite done yet.

Light Rain and Snow Mix Expected Midweek

According to the National Weather Service, Green Bay is likely to see a mix of light rain and snow starting Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. The precipitation is not expected to be heavy, but it could make for slick roads during the morning commute, especially in areas north and west of the city where temperatures may hover closer to freezing.

Most of the snow that does fall is expected to melt quickly, thanks to warmer ground temperatures and gradually rising air temperatures throughout the day. Rain will likely taper off by the afternoon.

Chilly Wednesday Before Warm-Up Begins

Wednesday will feel more like early March than April, with daytime highs sticking around the upper 30s to low 40s, especially if clouds linger. It will be breezy as well, making it feel even cooler at times.

However, the cold won’t last long.

By Thursday, skies begin to clear and temperatures will climb into the 50s, offering a much more spring-like feel. Friday could even flirt with the 60-degree mark, especially if the sun breaks through.

Looking Ahead: Weekend Spring Vibes

Green Bay’s weather turns more pleasant for the weekend. Saturday and Sunday are expected to be dry with partly sunny skies and temperatures staying comfortably in the upper 50s to low 60s — ideal for outdoor chores, walks, or just soaking up the mild air.

It’s a welcome change after a back-and-forth stretch of chilly air and lingering winter weather.

Don’t Let the Flurries Fool You

While the snowflakes this week might feel like déjà vu, they’re not expected to accumulate significantly, and the warm-up immediately afterward should melt anything that sticks.

Local meteorologists are urging people to drive cautiously during the Wednesday morning hours, especially on bridges and shaded roads where slick spots could form.

What Should You Do?

• Keep a coat handy for early mornings and late evenings this week.

• Plan for wet or slushy roads on Wednesday morning.

• Get ready to enjoy outdoor time later in the week and weekend.
