Green Bay, WI – Thunderstorms are expected to hit the Green Bay region late Tuesday, with more rain moving in by Friday morning. Drivers in areas like Green Bay and Appleton should be prepared for slick roads and the possibility of thunder early Wednesday.
Thunderstorms Move In Late Tuesday
The first round of rain will begin moving into central Wisconsin late on Tuesday, spreading eastward overnight. The National Weather Service in Green Bay forecasts scattered showers and rumbles of thunder lingering into Wednesday morning, but the rain is expected to taper off by midday.
“Drivers should expect slick roads and possible thunderstorms early Wednesday morning,” said the NWS.
Following the rain, a cold front will arrive, causing temperatures to drop sharply. The rest of the week will see highs in the 50s and 60s, with a noticeably cooler feel.
Quieter Weather, But More Rain on the Way
After the storms clear out on Wednesday morning, quieter weather is expected to settle in for much of Thursday. However, the calm will be short-lived as another system moves in Thursday night through Friday, bringing more steady rain.
