Green Bay, Wisconsin – Residents across Wisconsin face a prolonged period of severe weather, with strong scattered thunderstorms expected to continue today through Saturday morning, followed by intense heat this weekend. Damaging winds, large hail, and torrential rainfall remain the primary threats.
According to the US National Weather Service Green Bay Wisconsin, an active weather pattern will bring on and off storm chances through Saturday morning, potentially becoming severe. The storms could impact travel on major roadways like I-43 and US-41. By Saturday and Sunday afternoons, heat indices are projected to climb to dangerous levels, reaching 95 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit across most locations.
The combination of severe storms and extreme heat poses significant risks. Local authorities advise residents to secure loose outdoor objects before storms arrive and to avoid non-essential outdoor activities during peak heat. Power outages are possible due to high winds and lightning, so residents should ensure their mobile devices are charged and have an emergency kit ready. For those who must be outdoors, wearing light-colored clothing and staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is crucial.
Looking ahead, scattered storms could return early next week, bringing additional chances for damaging winds and heavy rain. The National Weather Service will continue to issue updates as conditions evolve, and residents should monitor local media for the latest advisories.
