Green Bay, WI – Strong winds and widespread rain are expected to develop later today, posing challenges for drivers and residents alike. The National Weather Service warns that gusts up to 38 mph and over an inch of rainfall in some areas may lead to localized flooding, especially where storm drains are clogged with leaves.

According to the National Weather Service, rain will begin this evening and continue through Tuesday afternoon. Travel along major roadways like I-43 and I-41 may be hazardous due to reduced visibility and slippery conditions. High-profile vehicles should exercise caution, particularly on north-south routes.

Tonight’s showers will bring temperatures down to 46°F, with gusty east-southeast winds making it feel colder. Rainfall amounts of up to 1.5 inches are likely in central Wisconsin, creating conditions ripe for pooling water in low-lying areas.

Tuesday will remain breezy, with winds shifting to the southwest and continuing to gust up to 38 mph. Showers will taper off by late afternoon, but localized flooding may persist into the evening hours. Travelers are advised to monitor updates and adjust plans accordingly.

Looking ahead, Wednesday offers a brief respite with partly sunny skies before rain and snow showers return in the evening. Highs will reach 44°F Thursday, with a 60% chance of showers, followed by drier but cooler conditions into Friday.
