Green Bay, WI – A stretch of warm, unsettled weather will affect much of eastern Wisconsin late Thursday into Friday, bringing the potential for thunderstorms, localized hail, and above-average temperatures.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, conditions will remain mostly dry through Thursday afternoon, but rain and scattered thunderstorms are likely to develop by Thursday evening and persist through Friday. The strongest storms could produce locally heavy rain and small hail, particularly in inland areas.
Daytime highs will rise into the upper 50s and mid-60s across most of the region, with some locations climbing as high as 67°F on Friday. However, an onshore flow off Lake Michigan will keep temperatures cooler in lakeshore communities, where highs are expected to stay in the low 50s.
Travelers should prepare for potentially slick roads late Thursday night into Friday morning. Motorists are advised to monitor local alerts, especially during evening and early morning commutes.
Saturday is expected to be drier and cooler, with temperatures ranging from the low 40s to mid-50s. Skies will gradually clear, offering relief after the stormy end to the workweek.
Residents are encouraged to secure outdoor items and remain weather-aware through Friday as the system moves across northeast Wisconsin.
