GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – It’s a warning from meteorologists that no one wants to hear… Winter is coming.
“There will be quite a chill in the air,” according to Scott Berschback with the National Weather Service.
Just how dramatic will the change be for the area, though? Daily high temperatures are expected to nosedive to the mid-40’s and will stay there at least thru the middle of next week.
Berschback says the real concern will be strong wind gusts dropping the temperature even further.
“It’ll probably feel like more in the 30’s, even 20’s, at certain points during the day,” he says.
And the strong wind conditions are right around the corner.
“The wind on Thursday, pretty much right when everybody wakes up through the afternoon hours, will be gusting between 20 and 35 miles per hour,” says Berschback.
And prospects get even more troublesome at night.
“We are expecting frost and freeze conditions both Thursday night and Friday night,” explains Berschback. “Especially as you work towards Central Wisconsin where some low [temperatures] could be in the middle 20’s.”
It might be difficult to find a silver lining in all of this, but Berschback says at least we won’t be seeing any snow — probably.
“There’s a chance for mixed precipitation depending on what happens with this storm system late this weekend and early next week,” he says. “But prospects are pretty low for that at this time.”
