Green Bay, Wis. – After a stretch of seasonable calm, strong storms are expected to return to Wisconsin by early Friday, bringing the potential for soaking rainfall and localized flooding across northeast counties.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, a low-pressure system arriving from the northern Plains will trigger widespread showers and thunderstorms beginning Friday morning, with storm intensity peaking in the afternoon and evening. Highs could reach 86°F before rain sets in.
Communities across Brown, Outagamie, and Door counties may see strong wind gusts, lightning, and brief downpours, especially during Friday’s evening commute. Areas with poor drainage could experience standing water. Rain chances persist into Saturday, with cooler temps in the low 80s.
Drivers are advised to monitor road conditions and delay non-essential travel during heavier storms. Power outages and flash flooding may be possible in isolated areas.
Thursday remains dry but cloudier, making it the best day for outdoor plans before the system arrives. While details on storm timing are still evolving, residents should stay weather-aware through the weekend.
⚠️ Storm threats increase Friday afternoon. More alerts could be issued as details sharpen.
