Green Bay, Wis. – Gusty winds and hail could hit parts of northeast Wisconsin between 2 and 7 p.m. Wednesday as isolated strong thunderstorms sweep through the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, the highest chance for severe weather lies within a broad zone stretching from Marinette to Rhinelander and Eagle River. This area, marked by a white box on the NWS map, is most favorable for the development of stronger storms capable of producing damaging winds and small hail.
Cities including Green Bay, Merrill, Wausau, and Crivitz should prepare for rapidly changing weather and possible storm warnings during the afternoon commute. Strong winds could down small branches and power lines, and hail may impact outdoor plans or cause minor property damage.
Residents are advised to monitor local alerts and have multiple ways to receive warnings. The NWS recommends avoiding outdoor activities during peak storm hours and securing loose items ahead of the wind threat.
Additional advisories may be issued as the system evolves. Storm potential tapers off after 7 p.m., but updates will continue as needed.
