Wisconsin Weather Alert: Fog and Isolated Showers Today, Stronger Storms Expected Into the Weekend
GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN – Residents across northeast Wisconsin are facing dense fog and scattered showers today, but forecasters warn the more significant threat comes late this week. Stronger thunderstorms are expected Friday night into Saturday morning, potentially bringing heavy rain, lightning, and travel disruptions.
Fog and Showers Impact Midweek Travel
Commuters late Wednesday into Thursday morning will encounter dense fog, reducing visibility to a quarter-mile or less on key roadways. Drivers along Highways 29 and 41 near Appleton, Oshkosh, and Green Bay are advised to slow down, allow extra travel time, and keep headlights on.
Isolated showers and a few thunderstorms are also possible throughout Wednesday, adding to travel challenges in the region.
Storm Chances Rise Friday Night
The National Weather Service in Green Bay highlights Friday evening into Saturday morning as the primary storm window. Rising temperatures combined with higher humidity could help fuel stronger thunderstorms, bringing the risk of locally heavy rainfall.
Flash flooding is a concern if downpours stall over highways or low-lying areas. Forecasters caution residents with outdoor plans to remain flexible and ready to adjust as the weekend storm system moves through.
Warmer Weekend Pattern
After several days of cooler-than-normal weather, Wisconsin will warm noticeably. Highs are projected to reach the low 80s Friday through the weekend. Saturday morning storms should give way to drier conditions by Sunday, with partly sunny skies and seasonably warm weather expected to close out the weekend.
