Wisconsin — Damp air clings to the shoreline, and gray clouds stretch across Green Bay as rivers quietly swell. The setup is already in motion.
Temperatures hover in the low 40s under thick overcast skies. The air feels chilly and heavy, with calm winds offering little relief.
A few scattered showers drift through today, but the bigger story is what’s coming next.
Rivers across northeast Wisconsin are already elevated, with minor flooding reported along the Wolf River.
This is where concern builds.
Additional rainfall is expected to move in by Saturday night and intensify into Sunday. Rain chances jump to near 100%, signaling a widespread soaking.
Plan ahead now. Low-lying roads and riverbanks could become hazardous quickly.
If you’re traveling along I-43 or local rural routes, watch for water pooling on pavement. Conditions may deteriorate fast during heavier rain bursts.
Saturday starts quieter with increasing clouds and highs in the mid-50s. It’s a brief window before the system ramps up.
By Sunday, steady rain and possible thunderstorms take over. Highs climb toward the upper 60s, adding energy to the system.
Meteorologists are now tracking a prolonged stretch of wet weather. Moisture from the Gulf is feeding into a stalled boundary across the Midwest.
That means repeated rounds of rain through early next week.
Runoff from rain combined with snowmelt in the Upper Peninsula could worsen flooding concerns. Some areas may see rivers rise further into early next week.
Monday brings another chance of showers, with partial breaks possible. However, rain returns again Monday night into Tuesday.
Stay weather-aware and avoid flooded areas. Turn around, don’t drown.
