Green Bay, WI – Residents of Green Bay are being warned to prepare for a steamy weekend as hot, muggy conditions build and scattered thunderstorms loom on the forecast horizon. The National Weather Service is predicting a spike in both temperature and humidity from Friday through Sunday.
Temperatures to Climb Through Saturday
The weekend will kick off with partly cloudy skies and isolated showers possible on Friday, although most areas will stay dry. Highs are expected to reach the upper 80s, making for a warm and sticky start.
By Saturday, conditions become even more intense with highs soaring into the low 90s. The heat and humidity combo will push heat index values higher, and scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop in the afternoon and evening.
Storms to Linger into Sunday
While temperatures will cool slightly to the low 80s on Sunday, the storm threat remains, with continued thunderstorm activity expected across the region. Outdoor plans could be disrupted, especially in the afternoon hours when storm development is most likely.
Forecasters at WAGB advise staying updated with local alerts and keeping weather radios on hand for any sudden changes.
Storm Chances Continue Into the Workweek
The unsettled weather pattern will roll into Monday, which begins with a chance of morning storms. Conditions should improve by midday, and temperatures will settle in the mid 80s.
The rest of the week holds steady with partly cloudy skies and daily highs hovering in the mid-80s. Thursday is projected to be the hottest day of the week, although no severe storms are expected at that point.
How to Keep Yourself Safe in Hot and Stormy Weather
As both heat and storms return to the region, here are key safety steps to follow:
- Hydrate regularly, especially if working or exercising outdoors.
- Seek shade or air conditioning during peak afternoon hours.
- Avoid outdoor activities during thunderstorm watches or warnings.
- Secure loose outdoor items that may blow away during gusty winds.
- Stay off the roads during severe weather alerts and watch for flash flooding.
With a volatile weekend ahead, officials remind residents to monitor updates from local weather services and to avoid unnecessary exposure during storm activity or peak heat hours.
