According to the National Weather Service, the rain will start Saturday afternoon and become more widespread across Green Bay and surrounding areas, lasting into early next week. Precipitation is likely to reach 60% today and continue with varying intensity through Sunday. Accumulated rainfall could range between a quarter and a half inch by Sunday morning. The downpours will likely impact outdoor activities and may lead to brief flooding on poorly drained roads and low-lying areas.
Sunday brings a 50% chance of showers, with cooler temperatures falling to a high of 55°F and a low near 38°F by nightfall.
