Green Bay, Wis. – A surge of weekend heat and scattered storms could disrupt plans across eastern Wisconsin Saturday as wet weather arrives by early afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms are likely after 1 p.m. Saturday, with a high near 84°F. Rainfall chances sit at 60%, with the heaviest bursts expected along I-41 and key travel corridors near Green Bay. Residents should avoid outdoor events during peak afternoon hours and drive cautiously on wet roads.
Sunday and Monday look clearer, but hotter. Temperatures will climb into the mid-80s Sunday and peak near 87°F Monday under mostly sunny skies. Overnight lows will hover in the mid to upper 60s, offering little overnight relief from the heat. Make sure cooling systems are working and hydrate frequently during outdoor activities.
By Tuesday, another round of storms could spark during the afternoon hours. Only a 20% chance of rain exists before sunset Tuesday, but by Tuesday night, precipitation odds jump to 50%, increasing the risk of nighttime lightning and localized flooding.
The next strong wave arrives Wednesday, when a 70% chance of thunderstorms returns, paired with a high near 84°F. Plan for potential delays and utility impacts, especially in areas prone to poor drainage.
Looking ahead:
- Saturday (84°F): Rain likely after 1 p.m.
- Sunday (83°F): Sunny, calm
- Monday (87°F): Sunny, hot
