Green Bay, WI – Wisconsin residents are bracing for a challenging day on Tuesday, July 22nd. The weather will bring wildfire smoke, severe storms, and dangerously high heat indices to parts of the state. Residents of Green Bay and the surrounding areas should prepare for reduced air quality and the possibility of hazardous weather, including strong storms and heavy rainfall.
According to the National Weather Service, smoke from Canadian wildfires is expected to reach the surface across northern and central Wisconsin, reducing visibility and air quality. The heaviest impact will be felt throughout Tuesday, with air quality expected to remain poor in some spots, potentially leading to respiratory issues. If you have respiratory sensitivities, be sure to limit outdoor activities and keep windows closed.
Starting Tuesday afternoon, residents will also face the risk of strong to severe thunderstorms. Thunderstorms may bring heavy rain, strong winds, and possible hail. The storms will likely begin in the northern parts of the state and progress southward through the day, continuing through Wednesday morning. Travelers should monitor road conditions and avoid unnecessary travel during these hours.
By Wednesday, a summer heat alert will kick in, with heat indices soaring to 105°F across parts of the state, especially central and east-central Wisconsin. A heat advisory may be issued, so ensure you stay hydrated, avoid prolonged outdoor exposure, and check on vulnerable family members.
