This week in Green Bay and surrounding areas, residents should get ready for a soggy stretch of weather. Two rounds of rain are expected—one arriving late Tuesday and another bringing wet conditions again by Friday morning. With cooler temperatures on the way and potential delays for commuters, it’s a good time to dig out your raincoat and plan ahead.
Rain Moves in Tuesday Night
The first wave of rain is expected to develop late Tuesday across central Wisconsin and move eastward overnight. By early Wednesday, drivers in Green Bay, Appleton, and nearby cities may face slick roads and possible rumbles of thunder during their morning drive.
The National Weather Service in Green Bay says the rain will likely linger into late Wednesday morning, with storms gradually tapering off by midday. The bigger change comes afterward—a cold front will sweep through, bringing a noticeable drop in temperatures. By the afternoon, highs will settle into the 50s and low 60s, a clear sign that fall is around the corner.
Dry Briefly, Then More Rain by Friday
After the first round of rain clears out, Wednesday afternoon through most of Thursday will bring quieter weather. Expect dry skies and cooler temps—perfect for layering up but keeping the umbrella close.
Unfortunately, the break won’t last long. A second round of rain is expected to move in Thursday night and continue into Friday. Areas including Wausau, Oshkosh, Manitowoc, and Green Bay could see steady showers, possibly affecting Friday morning school drop-offs and work commutes.
Travel & Safety Tips:
Allow extra time for commutes, especially Wednesday and Friday mornings.
Avoid driving through standing water on roads—hydroplaning risk is higher during downpours.
Keep rain gear (umbrellas, jackets, waterproof shoes) handy all week.
Check for updated weather alerts, especially if you’re planning any outdoor activities Thursday night or Friday.
Weekend Weather Improves
By Saturday, drier and partly sunny skies will return. While it’ll remain cool with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, outdoor plans should be much easier to manage—just bring a light jacket.
