Green Bay, WI – Central and northeast Wisconsin are bracing for severe weather today, with thunderstorms and potential flooding expected to affect the region. Showers and storms are predicted to move out of the area later this morning or early this afternoon, but additional storms could develop by evening.
According to the US National Weather Service in Green Bay, an upper-level disturbance and a warm front are contributing to these conditions. This setup could result in strong or severe thunderstorms, bringing damaging winds, large hail, and localized heavy rainfall to the area.
