Green Bay, WI – A strong low-pressure system is expected to bring thunderstorms to Wisconsin on Friday night, marking the first significant storm event of the year for the region.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Green Bay, the southern Fox Valley and central Wisconsin have the best chance of experiencing stronger storms, while the highest risk for severe weather is in southern and southwestern Wisconsin. If severe storms develop, the primary hazards will be strong winds, minor flooding in low-lying areas, and hazardous travel conditions due to wet roads and potential ice jams.
Meteorologists predict showers and thunderstorms will enter the area Friday evening and persist into the night. The storm system could produce damaging winds, particularly in areas with an elevated severe weather threat.
Residents with travel or outdoor plans Friday night are urged to monitor weather updates and have multiple ways to receive alerts. The NWS advises keeping an eye on changing forecasts and being prepared for potential severe weather developments.
This system could impact travel and outdoor events, so residents are encouraged to stay updated on local warnings and advisories.
