Green Bay, WI – River flood warnings remain in effect across parts of northeast Wisconsin Saturday, with several waterways expected to crest this weekend following recent heavy rainfall and rapid snowmelt.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, rivers including the Wolf, Oconto, Peshtigo, and Wisconsin are currently under flood warnings, with water levels continuing to rise into the weekend before gradually receding next week. Officials say a stretch of drier weather ahead should help ease conditions, but minor flooding is expected to persist in low-lying and poorly drained areas.
Communities near New London, Shiocton, Florence, and Wausau are among those seeing elevated river levels. The Menominee River near McAllister and multiple points along the Wolf River are also being closely monitored for flood impacts.
Emergency officials warn that flooded roadways remain a key hazard. Drivers are urged to follow all posted closures and avoid driving through standing water. “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” remains the core safety message as even shallow water can sweep vehicles away.
While widespread major flooding is not expected in most areas, localized impacts such as water-covered roads, saturated ground, and minor property flooding are possible through early next week.
Residents are encouraged to monitor the latest river levels and flood forecasts through the National Weather Service and local emergency management agencies as conditions evolve.
