According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, thunderstorms could become strong to severe Friday night, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds. Saturday’s forecast includes continued storm activity, raising concerns about river flooding from melting snow and runoff. Ice conditions on lakes, including Lake Winnebago, are also deteriorating due to warming temperatures.
By Saturday afternoon, partly sunny skies will return, but winds could still reach 31 mph. Sunday will bring cooler temperatures, with a high of 42°F and partly cloudy conditions. Looking ahead, rain is likely Tuesday, followed by accumulating snow Wednesday.
Drivers should remain cautious on highways, including I-41 and US-141, as wet roads and high winds may create hazardous travel conditions. Residents near rivers and streams should monitor for flooding and prepare accordingly.
